WHEN BEAUTY BATHES

/ Let ?s first of all regard bathing- from, a health point of view. To begin witJv be sui;e you are not one of those people for whom it is definitely harmful. If you are at all subject to rheumatism or heart 'trouble you should at least consult your doctor before you think of sea bathing. For those it suits, there isf ao finer tonic than a sea bathe, but if it doesn't suit you it can be definitely harmful. When you come out of the sea you. should feel warm and glowing. That is a sign your bathe has done you good. If, on the other hand, you feel cold or/sick and your skin has turned blue^ either bathing doesn't agree with you or .you've.stayed in. the water too long.: r Don't, as so many people do, dance--about on the fringe of the sea and get [wet by degrees. That's the way to,get ! a cold. Go boldly in until the water reaches your knees and then duck your shoulders, under, or if you can't really bring yourself to do this, splash some water over your shoulders first and then.^ duck, And keep under water until if you < feel ■warm. ~ Ten minutes in. the water islong enough for your first bathe of the season, .and unless the water is very warm never stay in for longer than 15----or 20 minutes. One bathe a day is enough for most people, but, if the weather is really scorching and you find it doesn't upset you, you may Jfctave two—^but never more.
