Why Grow Old?
Luxury of the Modern Bath Has
Stormy History Behind 1t

"affront the common people with
such luxury" The first bath was
installed in the White House by
President Fillmore in 1850.
What long way We have come!
The bath is now a place of luxury
and Identification and relaxation.
We can buy radios and books with
waterproof covers. We can play soli-
taire with waterproof cards and
cosmetic trays that hook over the
side of the tub are common.
The IDEA of milk bath is not
new. They were used generally dur
ing the 18th century. not always be-
cause people liked to bathe in this
liquid, but because the bath at that
time afforded little privacy Milk,
poured into the water, supplied
small measure of propriety.
Then, too, milk baths were used
by lovely ladies of the past because
they left the skin white and soft.
Poppea Sabina. Empress of Rome,
took milk bath the first thing each
morning. She used goats milk be-
cause it was supposed to contain a
magic element which would keep all
blights from her beauty.
Precious Arabian scents were
added to make the milk fragrant.
The famous beauties of the French
courts followed suit and used milk
baths. However, they contented
themselves with using cows milk.
Then, perhaps, ladies, instead Of
COWS, were contented.
Today the milk bath pops up In
modern form. Milk is recommended
the skin of the face and neck and
can be bought in powdered form
for use in your tub. One bubble
bath has dried milk in it. This
particular foam is cooling and minty
in odor and feeling and is soft and
milky in consistency.
I have found that the bubble or
foam bath is valuable not only as
a "softener-upper" of the epider-
mis-, but as a "cooler-offer' in hot
weather. After lying in one of these
foamy baths for 20 minutes one
feels cool for an hour or so after
ward. Try it some sweltering day!

the hope of a new life with it, and
guSh over the dear children, if any.
There is psychological moment,
just before the WidoWer who has
been houSebrOken revertS to the wild,
when he is sick of clubs and club
cooking and misses him home, and
any woman can marry him.
AS for means and methods of get
ting your man. tears are perhaps
most efficacious. Few men can
resist the woman who cries for them.
1t touches their hearts and their
vanity and melts down their back
bones so that they offer themselves
up on the matrimonial altar. Still
another good way of acquiring a
husband is to select some eligible
bachelor or widoWer for your busi-
ness adviser. That will give you the
opportunity of pursuing him without
his suspecting it, and to let him see
how wise you think he is and how
you depend on him for everything,
and by the time he has wiped away
the widows tears, or been friend,
counselor and guide to the old maid,
he is married to her. OF course. this
is another form of the clinging-vine
racket, but it still works.
But the ways to catch a husband
are endless. Look about YOU and see

Rights
Little Child Has
No Realization
OF Ownership
BY LeffiCe Lee Street,

Among the many. many lessons
that Young child has to learn II
he is 10 grow uD to be worthy cttl-
zen is a knowledge of property
rights. Little people are not born
with this necessary virtue that l5
required by the civilized world.
Something small in a sun suit. play
ing in the sand. would Just as soon
trot off innocentlv with daddvs
gold watch. or another baby's toy
as his own pail and shovel. He has
no realization of mine and thine
and certainly no appreciation OF
the monetary value Of anv property.
This problem. to be successfully
met, needs the guidance OF tolerant
parents who do not exact perfect
performance from one who is so lit
tie and has so much to learn. Too
rigid rules. sharp seedlings and
spankings simply hide the reason
for the punishment and all the
baby gains is an unWhOlesOme re-
sentiment.
Valuables and breakables should
be kept out Of the reach Of fun
bling fat fingers and from bright
2-and Swear eyes that covet
them.
AS soon as possible q child should
be guided toward the happy habit
Of gladly sharing his toys with
others. This makes for unselflsh-
ness. He should be persuaded gen
tlv TO return a toy that belongs 10
another child. This is not so easy
as it sounds. But the clever mother
with a sense Of humOr can accom-
plish it if she has in her hand a
toy to substitute for the one that
is being returned.
All of this is hard for the baby
to comprehend, and it is only b"
patient repetition Of instructions
that he finally learns that he MAJ
not seize and possess every object
that appeals TO his fancy.
Another angle 10 this same prob
lem is teaching him to ask for,
and not grab, what he wants.
It is even difficult for the older
child OF 5 or TO remember that ne
must return posthaste al propertv
to its rightful owner. and 1t Is i'm
possible for the toddler.
So until your young child ab-
serbs the teachings Of honesty do
not hinder and terrorize him with
harsh seedlings or brand him with
the cruel. unfair name Of "thiet.'
Rough words do not help to mold
good character.

about two or three Of those need be

Finally. the Il don't need il" school
OF thought might be tactfully re-
minded that almost every woman
can profit by eve makeup. Lashes
grow lighter at the tips and look
darker and thicker when mascara is
used: lids need that bit of color
which makes the eyes have depth

This tangent started when we eX-
perimented recently with large Sc
lection of excellent and rather in
expensive products. We made up
one eve and left the other au
naturel. and if you don't think that
little test will convince YOU. Just
try il. We tried blue. brown, green,
violet and other shades of shadow;
used black. brown and blue mascara
and, incidentally, were delighted
with the blue. Also among the
articles which pleased US is the
LIQUID mascara and brush which
come neatly packed in Upper
fastened case for secure carrying
in your purse. There's a generous
size tube of mascara, Of which you
need only a touch.
Eye beauty doesn't stop with the
usual daily application. You can go
a little heavier for evening when
dim lights and sophisticated clothes
change the situation somewhat. Also
you can care for your lashes with
special cream to be applied at night,
and you can help to avoid and soften
those lines and wrinkles around the
eyes with proper creams.
We'd really like to urge you to
investigate the business of eye
makeup because it's fun to DO, not
too expensive and ii certainly will
make a noticeable improvement In
your appearance. Let's get just as
sane and sensible-and as logical
about eye aids as we are about all
the other products that help us
along in our quest for beauty.

When you climb into your warm,
luxurious bath-vhich probably is
perfumed and softened by bath salts
or piled high with exhilarating bub-
bles-don't take it for granted! The
pioneers Of the bath were as much
talked about and prosecuted as
many Of the martyrs Of more seri-
Gus beliefs.
The Romans and Greeks took
their bathing tremendously. but
in other countries and At certain
times the habit of bathing had a
perilous existence before it found
itself a part of beautiful lady's
daily routine.
In 1910 the fact that the King Of
France took bath on two consecu-
tive DAYS caused much comment.
At the time of the Second Crusade,
Peter the Hermit thanked God that
water had not touched his body in
30 years, and Frederick Barbarossa
had a man who was caught bathing
actually boiled in oil!
The first American-made bathtub
was installed on December 20, 1912,
by Mr.. Adam Thompson of Gin
cinnati. In fact, Mr.. Thompson had
a Christmas party to celebrate the
arrival of the tub, and as a result
was the unhappy recipient of much
public criticism. The press said
that "a bath day would ruin the
democratic simplicity Of the re-
public"
The Philadelphia City Council
once voted on a measure prohibiting
bathing. but this was defeated by
two votes. Virginia taxed bathtubs
$50 year In Boston, in about
1845, bathing was unlawful unless
doctor prescribed it, One man
was brought into court for breaking
this ordinance.
Then came the enlightened year
of 1860, when every first-class hotel
had one bathtub, and sometimes
even two or three. These were made
of mahogany, lined with sheet lead,
and they weighed about ton. The
bather must have felt that he was
