When Summer Days Steal Energy and Beauty

NNE Of the incest beauty hints
to become familiar with dur
ing the torrid days OF mid
Summer is the refreshing bath. In
vigorating and restful baths usually
entail quite a little effort, which Is
farthest from our desire on a hot
day. At such a time all OF us are
looking for the easiest way to gain
the best results.
And that Is what I want to tell
you about today. This particular
bath Is the most refreshing and re-
vivifying one / know OF. On those
days when you've been doing things
all day long and need "a find the
spiritual courage and physical pep TO
