HOW TO TAKE HOT BATHS
Have the Tub Filled and Prepared, and
Step Right Into 1t
From Bed.

1.-THE majority of bathers undoubt-
edly do themselves more harm than
good" said an English physician,
quoted by the Daily Mail. First let
me tell you how l take it myself-the
ideal way. have the bath filed, and
when all is pepared l step into it
straight from bed Doubtless you put
on a dressing gown, perhaps light
cigarette, lounge about your room, and
then stroll along the draughty cOrri-
dor and get into the bath already
chilled. When there you stay until
your skin vessels are thoroughly re-
Taxed by the heat and unable to react.
Afterward you are surprised to find
your self chilly and depressed.
"Some men shave first. Let me ad-
wise you to do this after the bath, not
before, and so avoid chilling. Not
everyone has his bathroom opening of
from the bedroom, or even next door,
so in many cases it is wiser to take
a sponge bath in your sleeping room and
get into it while the heat of the bed is
still upon you. This should be the
rule in all but the very hot months OF
the year.
"If you take cold plunge bath
stay in it only for ten seconds. Then
do not waste time drying yourself. Get
on some clothes within three seconds
after the bath. The weakllest can take
a cold bath with benefit in this way
| tha stronpest will suffer Ia the ordi
nary way"

The first and oldest Of any Greek let

was the Phi Beta Kappa society,
founded at William and Mary college,
Virginia, in 17T6, from which sprang
a chapter at Yale In 1880 and later
chapters at other colleges. This was
the only Greek letter society in the
United States until 1928, when the
Kapph Alpha was formed at Union
college, New York. Several other col
lege societies were formed during this
period, with such names as Philoma-
thean, Erosophian, Hermosurian, ETC.,
but these were not Greek letter socie-
ties The first woman's Greek letter
fraternity was the Kappa Alpha Theta,
