Turkish Bath Parties With Dainty
Lunches and Flowers Now Popular |
Among the Rich and Fashionable-
Most People Want te Improve Thei
Complexions,
——
» The Turkish bath habit has won a
place among the fads of the New
York woman, and appears to be run-
ning neck and neck with the woman's
club as a time consumer. At least,
that is the impression one obtains by
frequent visits to certain well-kmown
Turkish baths for women. For more
than a year, this particular establish
ment has given New York the distine-
tion of possessing the finest baths for
women in the United States; and, in
that year, the proprietor's knowledge
of feminine character has been justi
fied,
“If a thing is to take with women
who have money to spend, it must be
chic.” he said, and he proved his point
by. changing the Turkish bath for wo- |
men, which was, formerly, rather a
forlorn performance, to a luxurious
function, with numerous Incidental op-
portunities for self indulgence and
money spending. He didn’t lose any
of his asceti¢ worshippers of cleanli-
ness, or his rheumatic and nervous pa
tients, and hié gained a carriage clien-
tele that makes the street in front of
the baths suggest an afternoon recep-
tion or an matinee.
it was a social {pnovation much
commented upon several years ago
that gave the philosophical proprietor
his suggestion. A well-known woman
gave a Turkish bath party at his old
establishment; and after the
bad gone on to a dinner and dance,
and the bathrooms were deserted, the
dens ex machina entered, sat down
among the scattered flowers and violet
scents, and lost himself “in utlish
thought.” When he came out of the
trance, he said to the pier glass: “Why
not more Turkish bath parties?” The
pier glass, having seen a great many
surprising things that evening. didn’t
offer any argument, and that's how
it all e¢fme about. "hie old
were torn out. Marble and onyx and
nickel plate replaced tin and iron and
lead in the plumbing. Hard wicker
and leather and iron cots gave way fo
luxurious divans; velvet carpets and
oriental rugs and tiling shoved aside
otlcloth, Effective bangings, soft
lights and mirrors were scattered
about promiscuously. ‘rivate
with accommodations for luncheon
parties were provided, Then the wo
men were left to do their part, and
they did it. Now Turkish bath parties
are as common as matinee parties, In
deed, the two go hand in hand; for,
every Saturday morning. the bath-
rooms are filled with women who come
in groups of two or three or four take
their baths and massage. have their
hair dressed and their nails manicured,
and then, appropriate the divans in
one of the private rooms, rest and
gossip, have luncheon served to them,
and finally make leisurely toilets In
time for the matinee. Sometimes, the |
party is a mutual affair, and each |
member pays her own expenses; but |
the same people meet at a certain hour
each week. More often some one wo- |
man entertains the others, and the en.
tertainment is elaborate, according to
the hostess’s inclination and income. |
The matinee girl may merely give her |
friends Turkish baths and chicken sal
ad, or there may be huge bunches of
violets on the pillows of each divan, |
and an epicurean luncheon served on
the little tables. Flowers have be.
come quite a feature of the bath. |
There was a time when a Turkish |
bath was something occult and mys
terious, referred to only in whispers,
and indulged in with sensatious of |
guilt: but that time is past. So, if |
a woman devootes a certain morning
or afternoon each week to the Turk- |
ish bath her friends are likely to know |
it; and it is quite the proper thing to
send flowers to her at the bathrooms, |
When she has been steamed and
scoured and plunged and massaged
and perfumed, she snuggles down
upon a couch, with her violets or
roses and dozes and dreams in an
Arabian Nights sort of comfort; and
the relaxation does more for her
nervis than ali the tonics that could be
prescribed for her. i
According to the bath attendants, |
however, the women think more about |
their complexions than their nerves,
A good complezion is the acme of ev.
ery woman's desire, and there's a
theory afloat to the effect that steam
and water and massage, applied to the
whole body, will do more for the com-
plexion than all the cold cream and
cosmetics on the market, Hence these
bathers,
“Nine out of ten women,” says a
bath attendant, “come to us in the
hope of Improving their complexions.
They stay with us because their skins
improve and because they learn to en-
Joy the baths and depend upon them
instead of medicine. We have almost
all the actresses and singers. They
bave to use cosmetics in their profes.
sion, and they know the things will
ritin their skin if not often thoroughly
removed. So they come here and take
an extra dose of the steam room. That
opens the pores of the face and takes
out all the paint and powder and that
sort of thing. Of course those profes.
sional people think a great deal about
their figures, too, and the baths and
special massage keep them in shape,
and then, any one whose work Is a
mervous strain needs just such relaxa-
tion as the bath gives.”

Enterprising Farmer Finds a New Use for
a Farm Machine.
An ingenious Faulk County farmer,
named A. J. Wakefield, has found a
new for thrashing engines which
promises to the present
method of transporting grain from the
farms of South Dakota to the nearest
market Wakefield, a day or
two ago, idea that his
thrasher engine would serve the pur
pose of hauling his grain to Faulkton,
the railroad point nearest his farm
Accordingly, as an experiment, he
hitched five wagons together, one be
hind the other, and after loading them
with an aggregatae of 400 bushels of
wheat, coupled the thrasher engine to
the string of on
the journey to Faulkton. The trip of
fifteen miles made in six hours,

Making Pearls Valuable, .
Parisian jewelers are very clever in
the art of “peeling” pearls. They will
take a peari that is not pretty, remove
its outer coat and reveal a beautiful
gem within, A pearl is composed of
alternate layers of macre and animal
tissde, and the process of peeling is
very difficult. The tools employed are
ft sharp knife, various sorts of files,
pearl powder and a piece of leather.
The pearly coats are extremely hard
and must be cut off piece by piece, the
operator relying more on the sense of
touch conveyed by the blade of a kuife
than on the sense of sight. Pearls

Experts know how to make pearls of
any color, black by a bath of nitrate of
silver, and by other chemical means
they can turn them to rose color, lilac
or gray. Pearls of these unusual tints

millet. This point needs farther proof.
Millet, if properly cured, and when not
too ripe or too Immature, is a fair feed
to combine with other things. But
care should be used in its feeding, as
few reliable data exist to indicate its
real effect on most of our stock.
