and does not hang entirely from strap.

Buying the Bath Robe

When the bath robe is literally a
bath robe''-something used for the
bath. not a garment in which TO re-
celve surprise callers-you will want
to consider first of all, in its selec-
tion, warmth and wearing qualities.
Attractiveness of cut and becoming
ness of color are, of course. assets
even to the most ultilitarian of bath
robes, but they must be considered
of secondary Importance.
The all-wool bath robe is the most
expensive of all those especially de-
signed for Winter-time wear, but it
Is the best choice il you can possibly
afford it. Besides being durable,
keeping its shape and holding the
dye well, wool has the additional ad-
vantages, of particular Importance
when II comes to bath robes, of hold
ing moisture at the temperature OF
the body. That means, too, IL is
less likely than other fabrics to feel
cold and "ciammy" when wet.
Cotton bath robes, are, however,
much worn in place of pure wooden
ones, for they are a great deal
cheaper. They are quite serviceable,
too, but they have decided limita-
tions. They are never as warm as
the wooden robes, and they soil much
more quickly. The dyes in your cot
ton robe are not so fast as in the
WOODEN robe, and cotton has the ad-
ditional quality, particularly unde-
sirabie In a bath robe, of being more
infiammable than wool, and so more
dangerous TO wear In front of an open
fire.
Now, the only sure way to recog-
