HINTS ABOUT BATHING Paris, Novrtnber 11. 1920. The French physician most thoroughly disapprove of what he calls "the typical American bath." "The American woman." he says, "makes herself old long before her time by indulging in hot soapy baths that dry out the oils of the skin and bring on wrinkles , before they are due. "A bath should be invigorating," he said. "The trouble with the average American woman is that she thinks a bath is cleansing and that if it is that it has fulfilled its sole duty. A bath should be only incidentally cleansing. If a woman bathes only once a week, naturally she needs a cleansing bath, and in that case she would probably have to use a great deal of hot water and an enormous amount of strong soap in order to clear the pores of the

skin. But I am not talking about that

sort of woman," he added. "The only healthy way is to take one bath every

day either before dinner, when a

woman is changing from her daytime clothes into her evening gown, or else at night just before -she goes to bed." "But," I protested, "think of the women--who are too busy to change to an evening frock every night and who perhaps have so many duties that they cannot take the time for an afternoon bath!" "The business woman," he eaid, "needs the refreshing, stimulating bath more than anyone else, for she comes to the quiet of her home from the strain of her work and the dust and dirt of the street. Even if she does not change her frock, she should undress and bathe."

He gave me a great many sugges

tions for bathing, some of which I have already given, since this physician is the author of a book which I read a couple of years ago. But one of his suggestions seemed to me excellent for thn woman who has a

loose, flabby skin, and particularly

for he woman who is reducing. -..

This is to take a normal Dain, noi too hot, using a mild skin soap. Then run off the water and run it in again as you sit in the tub, having it quite a bit hotter than it was. From time to time add a few drops of tincture of benzoin. I should say, about two or three tablespoonfuls to the tub. a third full of water. Rinse the whole body with this, (staying in the water aa it cools. Then rub the skin briskly with a coarse towel. The benzoin makes the water f-ufflcient astringent to tighten the skin, and at the same time it helps make it soft and white. Jn a few. days I will give directions for an entirely new sort of bath for

the thin -and anemic woman. Heartbroken I can quite sympathize with you, yet there is very little I can do to help you. It Is impossible, you see, for one who is an utter stranger to tell you why you are not popular. I think the secret of popularity is to like other people and to he very nice and jolly and friendly to them. Why not ask the popular girls what they think the trouble is?

aster, but from utterly different j ' reasons. -j We were so tired that Esther allowed us an hour's extra sleep that day the-flay of the. wedding. There was no farm work but the most necessary routine, and the hired men did that and. then went off on a holiday. Several neighbors came over to help, for there was to be a big dinner following the afternoon wedding. . Violet wore one of the prettiest of the dresses I had made, and I was urged by Esther to lie down, and rest and then to do my hair up. very high

and to "curl it a little." "Mark's coming over," was her brief reason. s Violet with James who took little interest in the proceedings, and some girls from the village, went out in the morning and gathered as many flowers as they could find in the fields few enough this hot month. ' And the friends near by generously robbed their gardens until every Jar in the house was full. "It does look'charming, I never saw our house look so well," I commented to Esther, gazing with pleasure at the flower-filled rooms.

"Awful mess to throw away tomorrow,", she grumbled. . "Well, thank heaven, it's happening today and it

will be over soon. My, I feel like an eld woman already, now one or my children's marrying." She came back presently, dressed

for the ceremony in a dress much too

tight for her. We went together to help Laura. I tried to feel some, of the romance of the occasion but it

was Impossible.

Laura had a white silk dress made, with many lape ruffles and a cheap lace wedding veil. The full skirt em

phasized her large hips. The exciter

ment of the occasion made her face hot and warm, so it began to shine with a high glass, and her nose grew red too. Ija vain I lavished my own precious powder on her. One slipper

Chapter 52 THE WEDDING The conversation between the two sisters seemed to worry Violet for days. The day before the wedding ehe talked to me about it it was late at night, and things at last were ready. And Violet and I were sitting in my room, and doing the little ceremonies with cold cream and hair burshes that seem to inspire women with a desire to talk confidentially. "Do you think they'll be happy?" i-he asked, braiding - back her lovely yellow-gold hair. "Why why I suppose so," I - answered, busy with cold cream. "I hope so. She's wanted him a long time we know that. You remember how miserable she was when he was paying attention to another girl." "A woman may be Jealous because he"s in love, but she's not necessarily in love because she's jealous,", observed Violet slowly. " I looked at her In surprise.: Every nrff. in a while she wqnld come Out with some statement that showed liow f he was maturing by leaps . and bounds. ."1 hooe they'll b harpy." she went on after a time, "but I don't believe

it. I dA't think Laura is-in love at sU. I don't think she Is capable. of falling in love." "But certainly she's fond of Charlie, and T think he' very fond of her." "That doesn't mean they'll be

happy. Sh was rona or jonn iracy. too. I used to run across them out on the rorch, just spooring like a couple of of sillies. Then Charlie came along and ho lives near and he cm around a lo "d well, that's all l her" is to it. I believe she would be crzy over mot anv man that deemed crazv over her.

analystic discussion In spite, of my frivolous occupation. "I know It I'll tell you why. If the were really in love, do you think she would wait and wait and put off

the marriage week after week until fche had every last sofa cushion and towel in place? Do you think she could be much in love and then fight with Mr. Dwyer about giving them the house rent free? Do you thinkwell, do you think I'd hesitate about marrying Bud I mean if he wanted me " the delicious color flooded up into her face as she turned the conversation into such personal channels "for any reasons like that?" "But it isn't right to marry without an incom? she's quite " "She may be right," Vi interrupted. "But she's not in love. I wouldn't hesitate because of sofa cushions and towels and such things." And there was the contrast between the two girls. One went cautiously, and sanely, unimaginatively, doing the common-sense thing, never- rising to great htights, always avoiding great depths. (The other was impetuous, ready to sacrifice anything for her love. The feeling was either great

happiness or great despair, heights or depths there was no dead level. Both wre in danger of dis-
