SALT BATHS.

VELVET SMOOTH SKIN. Salt can do an enormous amount for your good looks if you will let it. Ha-ve you tried a brine bathT It will make your skin as smooth and soft as velvet, taking away gooßeflesh and little rough pimples.like magic, states a writer in an exchange.

This is the vrtay to do it. Have your ordinary warm bath at night, and while your skin is wet, take a handful of ordinary kitchen salt and rub this systematically all over your skin.

Fay special attention to the backs of your arms where gooseflesh loves to collect, to your legs where rough skin and little pimples may mar the flesh, to your feet where callouses wear away your stockings and don't make walking any too pleasant—the gentle action of the salt will take all these blemishes away, and tend to reduce fat, too.

The skin will flush when it has had enough, for you mustn't rub until it is sore, of course. Save your energy for another night. Rinse the salt off with warm water, follow* with a cold sponge down, and then dry yourself with a rough Turkish towel. You'll feel a new woman—brimful of energy and alive in every muscle.

Another way to have a brine bath is this: Put a bath towel in a bowl, cover it with enough water to make it wet, and then put in as much salt as will dissolve in the water. This overnight, or for some hours if you want to have the bath at night. After an ordinary wash, wring out the salted towel a little, and rub yourself all over with it. Rinse in clear water afterwards. Try this beauty treatment if you want to show a back with perfect skin at this season's dances.
