The afternoon is devoted to a drive or a leisurely walk to the neighbouring forest; and at six o’clock the English return to dine; and at seven or half-past seven the Germans come home to supper. The _cuisine_ at the Cur-haus, being modelled on Parisian lines, attracts many of the guests who cannot submit to the Spartan _régime_ of Badstadt in its entirety; and there may be seen occupying the small tables on the terrace snug parties of three or four having just one of those very “little dinners” which have been the main cause of that indisposition which has made a “cure” necessary. The evenings are usually occupied by promenading in front of the Cur-haus, and occasionally a display of fireworks, or an illumination is provided. There is a theatre too, at which the best actors and singers appear during the season; but these after-dinner amusements are mostly of short duration, and, as a rule, Badstadt retires to bed not later than ten o’clock. Thus it will be seen that life at a bath is spent largely in the open air, that the amusements and the routine of each day are regulated mainly with a view to health, that the diet is restrained within the limits of prudence, and that “early to bed and early to rise” is a wise maxim, to which a rigid adherence is expected of all who come in quest of health to the baths and springs of Badstadt. It is not surprising that the Badstadt waters should be regarded as a panacea throughout the whole of Europe. LONDON: PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, STAMFORD STREET AND CHARING CROSS.
