BEST SCENTS FOR THE BATH
Much Choice !s Possible, and a Wo-
man May Use Any Particular Per-
fume Which She May Prefer

The commonest form of the bath
as a beautifer is the bran bath This
particular bath has the advantage of
being inexpensive and efficient at the
same time. The bran should be sewn
into neat little square sack OF
cheesecloth covering. and dropped into
the bath when the water is run in.
The water must not be too hot, or the
bran will be cooked and thus rendered
useless, but if warm water is poured
on it a creamy mass is formed. which
will render the skin delightfully."- soft.
For those who wish to be a little more
elaborate there are sold at chemists
and stores little sacks of bran mixed
with various perfumed herbs, accord
ing to taste, such as yiolets orris root
and sunflower seed.
The milk bath is not unusual, and
is is claimed that it has no rival in
beautifying the skin One well known
beauty in Paris is understood to use
milk for her bath always. and the skin
of her throat and shoulders is as
creamy a white as the liquid she is
supposed to bathe them with. OF
course, one would not actually get
right into a milk bath as one does
with water. The milk is applied on
wads of antiseptic cotton. Then, to
prevent any sickness, it is rubbed
gently with eau de cologne.
French women are also very partial
to the use of alcohol in the bath
1t is perfumed in some way with such
scents as lavender or violet, and those
who indulge in these baths or the
bran ones use soap only once or twice
week
Sea bathing is probably the most
bracing and the best form for the
robust, but in climate such as ours
it cannot be recommended except in
the hot months. unless the bather is
very strong. Those who are unfor.
tunate enough to possess very irrita.
BILE skins will do well to eschew sea
baths altogether.
For ordinary bathing purposes most
people use ammonia or borax, which
not only softens the water, but is inval.
liable for cleaning the skin. 1t is nee
essary, however, to exercise caution
in the use of these two articles. for an
overdose in the bath, instead of max
ing the skin soft and supple, will
harden it and make it much too dry.

Silk Lace Scarfs,

Silk Spanish lace scarfs, dyed to
match the gown, are in favor tor eve
ming use. Some of the hanusomest
scarfs at present are made of a fine
crepe de chine with insets of en-
broidered voile in the border design.
One very lovely one shown by a Chest
nut street importer ia of a beautiful
rose color. handsomely embroidered,
with exquisite roses also embroidered
on the large voile insets. In all the
decoration the finest graduations of
rose color melting into white were
used.

Dark Furs BECOMING.

It seems odd that so few should
realize that dark furs are much more
becoming than light, that is, to the
average woman. Sable, mink, black
fox, make her complexion look at its
very best, whereas ermine, white fox,
miniver and squirrel have exactly the
contrary effect
The newest way of wearing the
stole is to put the middle of it on in
front. pass the ends over the shoul-
ders, crossing them at the back and
bringing them forward under the
arms. Even fur capes with their
rounded or pointed back are worn
in this fashion, certainly very warm
and comfortable. though slightly un.
orthodox

Tray Tables.

The Tripoi tray table is a thing OF
parts-three in number. There is a
large top tray. q small tray (Which
fits on supports third way up the
legs of the stand) and the folding
stand. When not in use this four
legged stand may be folded and
slowed away in small space. The
trays are made of bamboo, and are
strong yet light In weight. and can
be easily washed. This table would
be very ornamental for a tea or re-
freshment table in bachelor maids
den.

Could Folly Go Eurther7

A very small dog created a great
stir in the streets of Paris a few days
ago. A bijou pet dog was seen in the
Champs Elysees with a lady. 1t was
wearing indiarubber boots laced high
up the leg. ear protectors, goggles to
shield his eyes from cold or mud, and
a raglan overcoat lined with thick
flannel and provided with pocket
from which projected tiny handker-

Thoughts Were Busy.

Hildred made no answer. Her
thoughts were busy. Elmer had said
just what was in her own mind. II he
only had known it, The lads quick
perception had seen through the shall
low. selfish visitor After a while she
said:

vague something in her mind. 1t had
to do with Forrest Cain and the en-
gagement she had made with him She
almost regretted making it, yet she
knew what he had to say would have
to be said. so she braved herself to go
through the ordeal.
In the meantime Forrest Cain was
speeding toward his shack in his car
He passed the point where the road
crosses the bridge and about three
miles farther came TO the place where
a road led off to the left through the
large granite posts. Every time he
had passed this point Cain had OBJ
served the granite posts. He knew
they must be on what was supposed
to be Gordon Kelly's property. Evil
IDENTIFY. therefore, the road led to the
habitation where Kelly lived before he
went to Atlanta. and broke his leg
Since his personal encounter with
Gordon Kelly, Cain had often thought
Of him in connection with his noun
tain home. recalling what Deery had
told him about the young mans ia
Their killing himself by jumping off a
mountain while crazed with liquor
The weirdness of this act had created
profound impression on Cain.
The Granite Posts.
Approaching the granite posts on
this particular morning. the incident
OF the strange death suddenly flashed
across the mind of Cain. He brought
his car to stop and gazed curiously
at the pillars, which seemed to stand
as guardians Of a mysterious realm,
He then let his gaze wander to the
road which passed through the posts
and was soon lost to view. winding
through a fine forest of hardwood
trees. The road itself was hard firm
and we'll made and had a top dress
ing Of granite, ground fine, the same
kind Of stone the pillars we're made
Of. Within the open gate. even the
woods and the ground underneath
seemed 10 be the recipients of care.
The trees were trimmed and there
were no dead branches lying on the
ground. The idea created in Gains
mind was that II was the entrance to
some millionaiTe's vast mountain es-
tate. On Deery's maps the property
was marked Prescott Trust Compa-
n.y." What had Gordon Kelly to do
with IL all ne wondered W mere uiu

Overcome with curiosity, Cain
started his car and turned in the road
hat led through the granite posts. He
would investigate, he said to himself
What better chance would he have,
with Gordon Kelly on his way north
10 join his ball club?
Cain was nor a SLOW driver. He
threw his car into high speed and
raced up the winding road The road
was as smooth as billiard table and
the crunch of gravel under his tires
was music to Gains ears. He had
covered more than half mile Of the
driveway and there was still no sign
Of a habitation. when he suddenly
heard the sound Of a horn, followed
by "A sharp cry. He looked up quickly
20 see an automobile coming down
