Baths consisted of a big tub2) filled with hot water.The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water,then,all the other sons and men,then,the women and,finally,the children--last of all the babies.By then,the water was so dirty you could,actually,lose someone in it--hence the saying,“Don' t throw the baby out with the bath water.
