THE VALUE OF A BATH.

If you come in from your shopping or from your patient service while other women " shop" or from your back-breaking type machine, where you have ground out another's ideas all lay ; if you have been crossed in every--hing but love, and have a burning head, tired feelings all over, aching feet and a sour humour of which you are perfectly aware, but which it is beyond your strength to control—jump into a v. arm bath, just before dinner, and, if you are luxurious in tendency, throw a Iran bag in after yourself, and soak for ten minutes. You will still feel ugly during the first three minutes, and all things look bias. Then you will rest and snooze consciously. In six minutes you will begin active operations and leave with all the delight of a Greek or an Albion. When you vise clean, refreshed, calm, revived, at the end of the allotted minutes, slip on fresh lavender or orrisscented gar ments, and as few of those as are required by law, and a spick and span frock that does not confine too closely ; you will look like a dainty rose, and feel more like dining than when you came home, with all the dust and worry of the thoroughfare upon you. Hankies, you owe it to your digestion :»:id to your family to make a good showing at the meal of the day.
