If a woman of ancient Rome were to go to Mayfair to-day she would be quite at home in the beauty parlours. A bath establishment attached to a Park-lane hotel London is the nearest approach known to the Roman Thermes, with sumptuous Turkish baths, baths where women are encased in paraffin wax to bleach their skins, foam baths for reducing and now milk baths. The Roman empresses bathed regularly in asses’ milk, and society beauties will be able to bathe in cows’ milk this winter. The dairy farmers highly favour the idea! Among the benefits the Romans believed bathing in milk conferred were immunity from all illnesses and freedom from germs for the rest of the life of the bather. Women also bathed in milk to rejuvenate themselves.
