Planting a Puriri.

Two American girls are in Sydney at tho moment on tho favourite stunt of young Americans who. want to . see the world. Miss L. E. Jameson, stenographer, and Miss W. C. Pritchard," nurse, are working and financing theirway round the earth; and their preliminary, was 37,580 miles in their own littlo car through their own country. Sydney is the first city to whicli they have carried introductions, and they maintain that jobs are- easy to get in America on such an adventure as theirs. \ The Joy of. Scented Batlis. Perfumed baths always, have a fascination for women, and to this day the majority of famous. beauties cherish their own special, recipe. The women of old Greece bathed their classic persons in perfumed oil baths. The Koman empresses kept their skins white and soft with scented baths., of c asses "milk," Anne Boleyn bathed in wine, i and Ninon do l'Enclos preserved her youth with baths of honey and soda (says a writer in tho London "Daily Telegraph"). One of the favourite baths of the modern beauty is the bran bath, declared infallible for whitening the skin. •It is prepared by making a cheese cloth bag about five inches square and filling it three-quarters full with ordinary bran. Place the bag in the bath, taking care that the water is not too hot, or it will cook the flour in the bran. A milky fluid will result which, mingling with the bath water, makes it delightfully soothing and restful. Scented bath salts may be made at home, and as they improve with keeping, fairly large quantities should be 'mixed. Put ono pound. of soda crystals into a wide-mouthed jar and stir in the rind of a lemon thinly sliced. Cork and leave for a couple, of days until the peel dries. Then remove the pool, which will leave behind it the faint fragrance of verbena. Half an ounce of favourite perfume and a few drops of cochineal arc then added and the crystals are gently stirred.. Cork the bottle for at least a week before using. Effervescing bath salts that are refreshing and stimulating consist of ten parts of tartarie acid, nine parts of carbonate of soda, and six parts of rice flour. Crush to a powder and stir' well .together., A few spoonfuls of this powder stirred into the bath will at once cause carbon dioxido to bo liberated. It is much more convenient to have effervescing salts in tablet form. Tho tablets are made by making the powder sufficiently damp with methylated spirit. A convenient size for the tablet is about one inch square. If desired a little perfume may be sprinkled over the powder before making up the tablets, which should bo stored in an airtight tin. Simple aromatic herb baths give a feeling of exquisite exhilaration to the bather. One pound of each of two dried herbs—such as lavender and rose leaves —must be tied in a muslin bag and infused in a gallon of boiling water. Leave the herbs to soak for about half an hour. Then, after squeezing the bag, add the infusion to the bath water. Pine needles can also be prepared in the same way as tho herbs. If a particularly invigor-., ating bath is required, a pound of salt should also be put in the bath water. '
