The Honey Bath.

The fad of tbe moment in Paris is the “honoy bath, ” which is reoommended as a skin feeder and is very popular with women who are troubled with “saltoollars” in the region of the oollar boue. Ninon de Lenolos tried its virtues when she was at tho zenith of her power and was abundantly satisfied with its results. The honey bath of today is bnt a revival of Ninon’s old recipe, and there is no reason why the faithful family tub should not be used and slender damsels disport themselves a la Lenolos. Rainwater is the proper foundation for the honey bath, bnt if that Is not obtainable an excellent substitute is a tablespoonfnl of ammonia to an ordinary bath of 80 gallons of water. Into this throw a handful of salt, two tublospoonfuls of bioarbonate of soda and three pounds of honey. Tbe bath most be tepid and the “ingredients well mixed, ” as the cookery book has it This bath should be taken on retiring, and the bather ought to let her skin feed at least 15 minutes.
