Excerpt from Hints About Men's Dress: Right Principles Economically Applied
Baths - Shaving one's self - Dressing the hair - Care of the teeth and nails - The use of perfumes unwise.
There is more reason in the English man's morning tub than most people give him credit for. It is not mere affecta tion. A nice anglo-saxon in England or America understands that cleanliness is the prime requisite of health and of a gentle man, and that for obvious reasons a man who does not indulge in frequent baths will not be an acceptable person in good society.
