Bath Salts
Dear Aunt Daisy, Will you please give me the recipe for making inexpensive bath salts? I want to start making one or two Christmas
presents.

Here is quite a simple recjpe, You need 2Ib. of soda crystals, which you can get from the chemist. Pour over strong cold tea-a few drops at a time, so as not to dissolve the crystals. Shake it up
and continue till the crystals are pale cream. Add 6 or 7 drops of sandalwood oil-about 6d worth-and then 2 teaspoons of oil of verbena, or some other essential oil. This too, should be added a few drops at a time. Shake well, so that the perfume is evenly distributed. Then put into jars and tie with pretty ribbon. | You can use food colourings if you want other shades than cream; and even make | rainbow effects; or sprinkle a little powdered washing blue through.
