Aristocratic Ladies Bathed
In Wine, Milk for Beauty

A recipe for developing beauti-
full complexion is to first take very
hot bath to induce excessive per-
spiration. Then follow this with
washing the face with plenty of
wine to bring out a rudy color.
This recipe is historic, dating from
the time of Queen Elizabeth. Wash
ing in wine was considered very ex-
pensive, even in those days. Never
theless, Mary Queen Of Scots re-
quired wine for her baths and ap-
piled for an increased allowance to
cover the cost. Encyclopaedia
Britannica, authority for this infor-
nation, says, 'This luxurious habit
was not uncommon with the elder
ladies of the court, but the younger
ones had to be content with milk"
Milk baths. however, were consid-
cred indispensable to beauty.
BY the 18th century cosmetics
were used to such an extent by
nearly all classes that a bill was
introduced in English Parliament
with the following provisions: THAT
all women of whatever age. rank,
profession or degree, whether vir-
gins, maids, or widows, that shall,
from and after such act, impose
upon, seduce, and betray into
matrimony, any of His Majesty's
subjects, by the scents, paints. cos
metics, washes, artificial teeth, false
hair, Spanish wool, iron stays,
hoops, high-heeled shoes, bolstered
hips, shall incur the penalty of the
law in force against witchcraft
and like misdemeanors and that the
marriage, upon conviction, shall
stand null and void"

HOME TOWN

There Is a town back In the mind
OF many worldly man
A town that he's long left behind,
A broader view to scan.
A quiet town of shaded streets,
Where life was calm and slow:
Where in his thoughts he cronies
greets,
From days of long ago.
A town of good and friendly way;
OF feeling kind and warm,
Where people, though of earthly
clay,
Stand brsvely to the storm.
A town of houses neat and trim
OF fiower-bordered paths
I'm memory comes back to him,
In times long aftermath.
He thinks of people real and true
The sailing Of the earth
Old friends meier dispossessed by
new
Good lives Of solid worth.
The old familiar sight and sound,
Along the street called Main
The characters who hung around,
And made all problems plain.
There comes to him In wistful
thought,
As years he looks adOwn;
There something was which he's
long sought,
Back In the old home town.
