Sheffield Rain Water

[RichardB]

Barking mad the lot of 'em !

The other day a Sheffield newspaper referred to rain-water as an aid to beauty. It told of one woman, brought up in the heart of the country where all the water for washing was collected from rain, and commented thus:

"Whenever she goes to her country home and washes again in this way, she is amazed at the difference it makes to her complexion, and to her hair. She has fair hair, and she avers that rain-water brings out its colour in a way that tap-water never could. She has collected rain-water in Sheffield, and the results have been most beneficial. She is shortly going to live in a new house, and she is arranging for a tank to be placed where it can catch the drippings from the spouting round the house, and she will use this as often as possible for beauty purposes."
