REMINISCENCE
			THE BATHROOM THE BATHROOM A TURKISH BATH WITH HEATED FLOOR, SO WHEN POURING WATER THE WATER WAS CONVERTED INTO STEAM IMMEDIATLY. FOR  SHABATH ( Saturday ) EVERY PERSON IN THE HOUSEHOLD HAD TO TAKE A BATH. FOR LACK OF TIME THE WOMEN USED TO GIVE US CHILDREN A BATH IN A BUNCH. TAKING A BATH IN SUCH A MANNER WAS AN ORDEAL FOR US CHILDREN, WE WERE TREATED ROUGHLY, OUR FACES WERE SMEARED WITH SOAP AND USUALLY THE SOAP FOAM GOT INTO OUR EYES AND WHEN WE STARTED CRYING EVENTUALLY IT ALSO GOT INTO OUR MOUNTHS. THEN POURING OVER OUR HEADS THE BOILING WATER, YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT WE WENT THROUGH.
