MISS Mr WRITES OF HOLLAND TRIP Cables of Safety at the Hague and Gives Impressions of Places and People Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Shelly, of North Second street, have been very much relieved by the receipt of a cablegram from their daughter Lorene, who has been traveling in Europe with the Misses Blair, of Chambersburg since early in June. When last heard from before the outbreak of the war she was in Berlin and was proceeding northward, but a letter to-day an nounces her arrival in the Netherlands and her present address is The Hague. In this letter to her parents, under date of July 30, she describes the at tractive features of The Hague, say ing that it suggests Venice in its can als and beautiful flowers. Following are a few extracts: "We took a ride to Scheveningen situated on the North Sea, and similar to our Atlantic City. Very attractive and the bathing is fine, although we didn t care to indulge with mercury at 45 degrees. "Last Sunday morning we left Heid elberg and stopped over at Frankfurt from twelve until three: had our lunch and took a ride through the city. We couldn t do anything else, for it pour ed all the time we were there. We went on to Wiesbaden, rested for an hour and took a drive through the city, for it had cleared off early and we did want some idea of the place. It is quite a resort; you know the min eral springs make it famous. We saw several where the boiling water was bubbling out of the ground. "Monday, our day on the Rhine, said in the itinerary Jo be 'the hap piest day of the trip.' Didn't come up to our expectations. While we enjoy ed it and saw many places of historic interest, it was cold and raining most of the time. Lois and I.promenaded on deck half of the time to keep warm. We reached Cologne about six and visited the Cathedral and shops. Tues day we went to Amsterdam. Got our first glimpse of Dutch scenery—wind mills and cows all along the line. On arriving we were agreeably (?) sur prised to find they couldn't accommo date us at Hotel Olderwelt, so we were sent to another place for the first night Lots of fun to move every dav, but we are accustomed to it long ere this. "You will laugh when I tell you that yesterday was the most perfect day we have had so far. We left on the boat at 9.30 for the Island of Marken. It's the dearest place I've ever seen. All the people dress in the same kind of clothing that was worn years and years ago—yttle white caps, odd waists laced in the hack, and about ten skirts—l know they would meas ure a yard and a half around the hips —colored aprons and wooden shoes. Some of the children were the cut est things. They would try to sell us cards or caps, maybe shoes, and when we refused they would say 'nothing doing' or 'dead broke,' and one said 'absolutely dead broke.' Just imagine them talking that way when they couldn't speak any other English! We had a guide who showed us over the island. ' Aren't we the luckiest things tt> be in Paris by Saturday, August first? Then we can go to Versailles Sunday and see the fountains playing. They play only the first Sunday of each month, so do you wonder we are de lighted?

The beautifying and health-giving pow er of baths has always been highly re garded by civilized nations. With the Greeks and later with the Romans the bath took was enjoying Its highest degree of wealth and civiliza tion far surpassed anything known to modern times, but undoubtedly we have arrived at a more Just consideration of the possibilities for benefit from bathing. Man Is not an amphibious being and there Is no reason to suppose that he is benefited by any lengthy Immersion in water. Swimming Is good exercise for most people, for the reason that It ex ercises all the muscleß including the lungs and is the only form of sport that can be Indulged In during very hot weather that does not raise the temperature of the body unduly. Although I believe that a good amount of time may be spent to advantage in the dally care of the body, personally, I do not believe In long Im mersion in water. The bath Is primarily for cleansing pur poses, not only to remove extraneous dirt that has been caught on the skin, but to remove the deposit thrown off by the ■weat and oil glands. How the Skin Acts. The skin consists of two layers, the true skin and the outer skin—what Is generally referred to as the cuticle, and In the skin are countless thousands of oil and sweat glands that continually empty their contents on the surface. There Is, moreover, a continual shedding of the ■kin as the old cells are replaced by the new one forming below. This dead skin, If allowed to stay on the body, mixes with the excretions from oil and sweat glands, and ths bacteria of decomposi tion resulta. If not removed, this de composing mass closes the pores of the ■kin ftr.d p» oduces Irritation and 111 health. The entire surface of the body should be kept clean and the bath for this pur pose should contain soap and water warm enough to start the action of the oil and ■weat glands so that any dirt or bac totlt on tat Miss Martha Fay Hare, of Altoona, is a guest of Miss Miriam Keiser, at 1722 Green street.

Madame Ise'beE Explains The Advantages of the Hot and Cold Bath Amount of Time Spent In Bath No Test of Cleanliness. Some parts of the body are more prone to secretions and perspiration than others and demand more frequent and complete bathing. The cleanliness of the body does not depend on the number of minutes a person stays In the cleansing bath, or how many are taken during the twenty-four hours. If the body has been exposed to dirt, a certain amount of friction Is neces sary to dislodge it; It Is also quite pos sible to be clean without the dally, all over bath, although the latter Is certainly a great comfort and convenience. The water for the clesnslng bath should be soft, or made so with some softening agent. Oatmeal bags soften the water and in a measure act as soap. They are made by filling a two-Inch square of cheesecloth with a dessert spoon of finest oatmeal and half a teaspoon of powdered orris root. If a little powdered soap Is added to this, no other soap is necessary. After the cleansing bath Is finished a spray should be used or the body sponged with clean water so as to leave no soap on the skin. Many cases of bath itch come from neglect of this point. Perfumed soaps are pleasant, but they are a luxury, for good perfume adds enormously to the manufacturing cost of soap. Cheap perfume should be avoided by all means. The body, warm and moist from the bath, will hold perfume longer than at any other time. Toilet water may be rubbed Into the skin or It may be powdered with a sweet smelling pow der. Benefit of the Cold Bath. The morning cold bath, whether a plunge or taken under a shower, 1s In no sensq a cleansing bath, but It has wonderful stimulating powers. The shock of the cold starts the heart pumping, the skin muscles contract and the blood ves sels empty. The brisk rub that follows brings the blood back through the capil laries and vessels and the skin muscles relax. This Improves the circulation, has a tonic effect on the nerves and in many cases acts as a preventative against colds. The test of the benefit that one derives from a cold bath Is whether the after effect Is agreeably or not. If the body Is warm and glowing and there Is a feel ing of lightness and exhilaration, the cold bath is the right kind of a tonic. If, on the other hand, there are any signs of a chill, the temperature of the bath ahonld be raised. DryneM of the Bkln. The dryness of the skin and the Itching that sometimes starts a few hours after the bath may often be allayed by rubbing the body after the bath *lth some per fumed oil, such ss lavender oil.

It 1b advisable for anyone suffering from this trouble to drink freely of wa ter and Install In the home some method of Increasing the humidity in the air. Turkish and Vapor Batha. Some dosen to twenty years ago hot air and vapor baths w<re much esteemed by seekers after beauty and also by wom en who wished to reduce flesh. In both respects these prolonged baths have proved a disappointment although there are situations In which they may be In dulged In with profit A Turkish or vapor bath with the after rubbing and plunge Into cold water will Improve the circu lation, open the sweat and oil glands and often bring life and color Into a torpid, dull skin. Too frequent a use of the prolonged hot bath, however, will produce a dryness of the akin conduslve to pre mature wrinkling. Hot Bath Ooea Not Reduce. The belief that the Turkish bath will reduce flesh has proven to be a fallacy. Intense perspiration will relieve the body of water, but this will be renewed as aoon aa the patient begins to drink. To keep In good health the normal proportion of water In the body must be maintained. As we perspire we have a craving for drink which we call thirst. To reduoa flesh we muet rid the body of fat or turn fat Into muscle and tbla can onl* be done by diet or exercise. Modern American Bathroom. The modern American bathroom with Ita hygienic plumbing, lta shower, ita tuba of different sizes, lta racka for soap and built-in closets for powders and perfum eries Is the ideal for comfort and sanita tion. No country Is so well aupplled with' bathing facilities as Is America, and the good result of this la found In the health and cleanly appearance of moat of lta peo ple. Few who once experleneo tha com fort of cleanliness ever relapae Into othet habits. The use of the shower bath la increaa lng and this Is probably the best form of dally bathing. It discourages indolence In the bath, and the apray over the akin after the body has been well soaped anil rubbed leavea It perfectly clean and free from soap. The shower bath can be taken at any temperature, and quick changes from hot to cold are often most beneficial and etlmulatlng. A shower bath Is Inexpensive to install and takea up s« little room that a place can often be made for it outalde of the regular bath room. Growing children are particularly fond of this method of bathing and will gladly welcome a shower bath aet up la or near their own room. JllkJfckM (
