BEST SCENTS rVoB THE BATH Much Choice Is Possible, nd a Woman Wo-man May Use Any (Particular Perfume Per-fume Which Shef Msy Prefer. The commonest form of the bath aa a beautlfier Is the! bran bath. This particular bath has the advantage of being Inexpensive ana efficient at the same time. The bram should be sewn Into a neat little rcuare sack of cheesecloth covering, and dropped Into the bath when the viater is run In. The water must not btMoo bot, or the bran w ill be cooked amV thus rendered useless, but If warm winter Is poured on It a creamy mass is Wormed, which will render the skin delightfully sort For thoso who wish to be a little more elaborate there are soli at chemists and stores little sacks of bran mixed with various perfumed llWbs, according accord-ing to taste, such as vloldta, orris root and sunflower seed. The milk bath Is not rnusual, and Is Is claimed that It haa no rival In beautifying the skin. One well known beauty In Paris Is undert'ood to use milk for Hr bath always, and the skin of her threat and ahouMers Is aa creamy a whit aa the liquid she is supposed to bathe them with. Of course, one would not actually get tight into a milk bath as one does with water. The milk la applied on wads of antiseptic cotton. Then, to prevent any stickiness, It Is nibbed gently with eau de cologne. French women are also very partial to the use of alcohol In the bath. It Is perfumed In some way with auch scents aa lavender or violet, and those who indulge, In these batha or the bran ones nae soap only once or twice a week. Sea bathing Is probably the most brsclng and the best form for the robust, but In a climate auch aa ours It cannot be recommended except In the bot months, unless the bather Is very strong. Those who are unfortunate unfor-tunate enough to possess very Irritable Irrita-ble skins will do well to eschew sea baths altogether. For ordinary bathing purposes most people use ammonia or borax, which not only softens the water, but Is Invaluable Inval-uable for cleaning the skin. It is necessary, nec-essary, however, to exercise caution In the use of these two articles, for an overdose In the bath. Instead of making mak-ing the skin soft snd supple, will harden It and make It much too dry. |
