In the 1900's, American townspeople usually washed and brushed their teeth
and combed their hair in the kitchen. Or they kept a water pitcher £¨´óË®¹Þ£©and
a wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.

The bathtub was a wash tub£¨ÔèÅ裩filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathed together. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday night because Sundays they went to church.

A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing£¨Ë®¹ÜÉèÊ©£©. Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen ª©years old.ªª

CARIFF, Wales—Poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered Wales to celebrate the tradition£¨´«Í³£©of storytelling.

"It might seem strange that people still want to listen to instead of watching television, but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again, "said David Amibrose, director of Beyond the Border, an international storytelling festival£¨½Ú£©in Wales.

"Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit from Canada, are thousands years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time. " he said early this month.

Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do ª©Kntadjait, orthroat singing, which has few words and much sound.

Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.

Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving£¨coming back into use or existence£©storytelling in Wales.

"It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here." Ambrose said.
