PERFUME.


We wish that every one would clip the
T.llowing paragraph which We cut from Co
dey's Lady's Book for August, ard govern
themselves accordingly. We have been OBJ
ligcd many time to forego our dinner at
public house, by the in discretion of some
fop, Occasionally BY the imprudence Ct some
thoughtless young lady, who CHANGED to
sit near us, and whose handkerchief was
saturated with perfumery. 1t Il an nnbe-
coming practice. Nothing has SC good and
wholesome a SAVIOR as clean, uh-dried linen,
and to attempt any improsethent upoh it is
to "adl perfume to the violet" TIC par
agraph from Golcy's is as follows:
MusK-We would advise people when
visiting the city, not to Use tie stuff. &
wrong construction will be put upon them.
We once heard an old lady say that no one
used it who had not something more power
full to overcome. Any person having the
slightest degree Of consideration would not
use it in asscmbages of persons, for to many
it is so offensive as to cause headache"
All recollect the Frenchman VIC found
himself shut up in an omnibus with three
Indies who were strongly scented with musk.
Unable to endure the odoriferous smell, lie
cried out in agony. ''drivaire drlvalre!
stop re onnebus. | faint sick-I die
aere is one musk rat in ze vehicle!'
