choice Of nice things to make the
bath luxurious. Use pungent pine oil
to scent. soften and tint the water .
delicate green: bubble preparations
to pile 1t high with billowy foam:
milk bath preparations that substi-
tute very well for soap; bath salts
so f1ne they melt away the instant
they touch the water. Whatever you
choose. have 1t In O. fragrance you
love.
Find q soap. too, that's suited to
your skin and to the water. There
are really nice toilet soaps especial
II adapted for work In very hard
wster, II you live In . section Of the
country where nothing else Is avail
able. There are super fatted soaps
that make . fine creamy lather for
the sensitive skin. There are giant
cakes Of bath soap In your choice Of
pleasant fragrances.
Don't Forget Back
Choose your way Of applying the
soap. Il you like sponge, stick to 1t.
It Is especially good II the skin Is
sensitive and tends to become irri-
tated or flake on easily. For harder
souls there are bath brushes or
loofah nitts that give more friction.
There are bath straps Of loofah, too.
that can be used to scrub every
inch Of the back.
Incidentally. backs need . lot Of
attention Just now when they are
being revealed by psrty frocks, play
suits and swimming suits. Even
though the skin elsewhere may be
fiawless, there may be blemishes
over the back and nothing will do
50 much to ward them OF a. fire.
quent scrubbing with q brush or
other rough material. This friction
brings up the circulation and re-
moves fakes Of dead, dry cuticle.
II bath brush Is your choice. Sc
lect one that has q detachable ham
die. You'll need an ordinary brush
for scrubbing hands, elbows. shoul-
ders, feet and legs. Attach the ham
die or use the long handled one-if
you have two-for shoulder blades
and the back. Scrubbing prevents
large pores on the legs. prevents
wrinkling and roughening.
Rinse away the cleansing soap
suds before you get out Of the tub.
Once out. dry thoroughly. You
shouldn't have to be told to take
this obvious step, but you'd be sur
prised at how many women fail to
get thoroughly dry. There Is moth
ing worse than damp areas. for they
cause chapped and roughened skin.
Rub yourself briskly with q big
fleecy towel.
Powder Is Fragrant
II you are going to bed immedi-
ately, let bath powder be the final
benediction Of the bath. Dust 1t on
with a mitt filled with wild rose
scented bath powder II that hap
pens to be your favorite fragrance.
or choose one whose powder has Al,
elusive bouquet scent. Or. have your
favorite powder and dust It on free
~ with Q big pun. Some powders are
even deodorizing. II you have a
pretty powder jar In your bathroom
you can dump your powder into
that or you might like those big
sprinkler cans that hold 50 much
and cost 50 little now that summer
Is here. A liberal patting with pow
der will help your girdle TO slip on
easier on q hot day, too.
For q daytime bath. eau de CO.
logne or toilet water Is the perfect
foliow-up. For extra pleasure and
GOODNESS, spray It from an atomizer
or pat It lightly after the bath. OF
course. you can even sprinkle some
into your tub. but In. my opinion
this Is q wasteful way Of using this
preparation which does 80 much to
keep you cool and fresh and buoyed
up for hours.
