Fancies in Perfumes.

Everybody looks at the perfumery bot
ties in drug store. There are all kinds
''White Rose" Golden Lily Of JAPAN"
''Frangipani, pond Lily" ''New-
Mown Hay," ''Jockey Club" ''Pat-
chouley," Forest Flower" and all of
the other fancy named scents with an inn
mense variety of cologne water. The most
of these are in one, two, and four ounce
bottles, prettily labeled, ann with the corks
covered with sheepskin and tied with a
pink, a red, or blue ribbon or fancy
cord. You can look at them and pick them
up and shake them, but you can't smell
OF them. And there are always, along in
close proximity lot of larger bottles, cut
glass concerns. very nice to look upon and
with glass shoppers which are neither COW
cred with sheepskin or tied into place.
Then the visitor has some fun. One
by one the shoppers are removed and
first the stopper and then the mouth of
the bottles is applied to the nostrils.
Next the stopper is replaced and
the bittle shaken little so that the stopper
is moistened with the liquid and then the
stopper is touched to the nose or rubbed
along the upper lip. Then the finger is wet
a little and rubbed across the vest or the
front of the dress, and sometimes, If the
druggist is not looking, little is doused
upon the handkerchief.
These perfumes are very profitable
stock of goods. There is always a steady
demand for the nice smells, and there is a
good-sized profit upon them. At holiday
time the sales are still larger. The pretty
bottles and the useful contents are nice
remembrances, and are always acceptable.
Sometimes they are snugly stored in fancy
boxes with cupid, or a flower, or some
thing like that to make them look nicer.
The perfumes are usually made from the
essential oil of the flower, the name of
which the perfume bears, and the oil dis
solved in alchohol. There is a kind made
also from deodorized kerosene oil, which.
when scented, makes a delightful perfume
which costs very little, and can be sold for
a high figure and at good profit.

MY LITTLE FACTORY MAID
said she was too sharp to pay any such
profit as that; that she knew of half a
dozen little shops and of rich east-side
dressmaker who were cheaper to deal with.
She said the dreSsmaker looked closely into
the characters of her customers and sold
and made up dress goods at ''Only" 10 per
cent. more than the cash price. She told
me some shocking stories of the extrava-
gance of poor girls. For instance,
her landlady's daughter had just
bought a sealskin cloak for $500, which
was probably worth 1925, agreeing to pay
81 week down and getting her mother to
give, as security to the dealer, chattel
mortgage on the household furniture. Her
mother incurred the risk because she
thought the better her girl was dressed the
better husband she would get. learned,

per cent

thought he would propose to do it himself.
As he didn't, simply sat down and wrote
letter two yards long to my country cor

ceive the widow.
But all | meant to say was that l had
found out how some poor women manage
to dress well. Just see how I've maund-
cred along. I thought had found out one
key to the problem when discovered that
women were able to borrow dresses, just as
masquerade costumes are hired out at so
much a night; but that would not explain
the goOd clothes we see on working girls
all around us. It's the installment plan,
combined with great self-denial. the
knack of cutting cheap goods into
stylish shape, of turning dresses over and
over as the fashions change, and of exer-
eising all the ingenuity of the feminine
mind in that direction in which we femi-
mines naturally interest ourselves most.

The Spectator heard the other day of one
instance which affords practical answer to
the question often asked by women who are
left unexpectedly without means. What

afforded this answer was reared in luxuri-
Gus home, surrounded by ample wealth, and
endowed with all the refinement and culture
which wealth and the best society can afford.
Nature had happily also endowed her with
that which wealth cannot afford, namely,
common sense; and she availed herself of
her advantage to go to cooking school and
become mistress in the culinary art. Mis-
fortune Detailing the family, has thrown
her upon her own resources, with one or
more dependent upon her. Instead of fall

school teachers positions, or burdening the

called her cooking skill into requisition.
She has quietly let it be known among her

their kitchens on occasions. When any one

and still might be social ornament desires
to give specially nice dinner or tea they
send for her. She brings her cooking wrap

kitchen as the pilot does of steamship on
entering the port, relieves the mistress of
all care, anxiety, and concern. and sends up
a charming meal, such as a less cultivated
cook could not provide. She is in such
great demand that her prices have already

Boston Record.
Miss Winslow, the American beauty who
has been dividing with Miss Chamberlain
the admiration of the gay world of HON.
burg, belongs to a well-known Boston
family. Her father was the late George S.
Winslow, the wealthy dry goods merchant
and her mother is member of the Roxbury
family of Train, of which the late Enoch
Train was in his day conspicuous repre-
sentative. The Winslows used to live in
the swell-front brick house on Boylston
street, opposite the common, which is now
tenanted by the Boston Whist club. They
lived elegantly, but not ostentatiously;
their parlors were adorned with choice
paintings and engrayings, and their recep-
tions were in the best taste. Mrs. Winslow,
who is handsome blonde, liked to draw
about her literary and artistic society, and
among the artists and men of letters
who were most frequently met with in her
drawing-roomS were Rowse. whose crayOn
heads have gained him such wide reputa-
ton, and Henry James, whose novels have
made their mark in two continents. One
of Rowse's best efforts was the likeness of
two children's heads of SURPRISING beauty,
one of which crowns the shoulders of
Eleanor Winslow, the 'Boston beauty"
whose attractions have been acknowledged
in the most fastidious courts of Europe.
Miss Winslow is blonde, tall and stately
in person, with regular features and the air
that people call ''aristocratic." She came
naturally by her personal attractions
through her mother, whose portrait, painted
by Porter before he had become fashion
able, preserves the features of one of the
most beautiful women the Hub has known.
Miss Winslow has been well brought up
and is not spoiled by attentions which
would turn the head of ordinary girls.

Arthur, who has been in Germany all the

table experience was cream ice made of
flbert nuts. The flavor was most delicious,
and he declares that it was the best ice that
he had ever tasted. The kernals must be
pounded, and after being sweetened the
mass is mixed with the cream in the usual
manner and then the whole is placed in

Eemin1ne Fancy for Fine Perfumes.
Boston Traveller.
For the past two seasons an animated dis
cussion has been going on in society as to
the propriety of the use of perfumes. The
anti-perfumers practically carried the day
until last year, when several of their fair op
ponents succeeded in creating a reversal of
opinion, SO to speak. The correct thing
now is for a lady to have a perfume of her
own. Some accomplish this by combina-
ton of perfumes. and a very few have
sought professional aid from the outside,
and purchased secrets which they zealously
guard. Perfume should not be used upon
the handkerchief. OF course, this will
not interfere with the flower craze. Many
of the bellies in society wear but one kind of
flower, and thus seek to individualize 1t.

Slow But Sure.

The letter of Postmaster General Villas
to the Democratic congressman of Ohio,
Indiana, Virginia and New York, in whose
states the earliest and most important cleo
tions are to take place, indicates very plain
ly and very forcibly the policy of the new
administration toward that class of fed
eral otlice-holdeIs with whom the public is
most intimately associated and most faml-
iarly acquainted. The postmasters of the
country are nearly as many in number as all
other persons holding federal appointments,
and they are mostly of the "fourth-class,
whose salaries are under 81 900. The
postmaster is theone functionary in whom
to the view of the greatest number of peo-
pie is embodied the federal power. They
all have dealings with him. The fourth
class postoilice is the centre of political
power in nearly every neighborhood, and
everybody knows with what scrupulous
care the Republicans have occupied these
offices everywhere with the class who are
described by the postmaster general as fit
subjects for official decapitation. Where
there has been Republican store or tav-
ern, or shop, or place of any kind in con-
troll of a partisan, in the village and at the
crossroads, there the postoilice has
been fixed, regardless of public con-
yenience or of any consideration
save that the postmaster head the Republi-
can procession and respond with alacrty
to the party tax-gatherer. These post
masters are commissioned for no particular
term hence there was no time at which
their commissions might be said to expire.
Many of them have been in Office five, ten
and twenty years, and as they were origi-
nally appointed because OF their party
services, theirretention depended on con-
tinuance of this sort of zeal, no matter
how offensive it was to Democrats or how
much it interfered with a proper discharge
of their official duties. The most deyout
civil service reformer would hardly contend
that his creed demanded the retention OF
men who thus got into office, simply be-
cause they were in occupancy.

Better Late Than Never.

Now that the anti-iiscrimination bill is
hopelessly beaten, our esteemed contempo-
rary, the Ne,c Era, indicates very decid-
edly that it is in favor of the constitution
and the enforcement of it. 1t beratcs the
Lancaster county members roundly for
their opposition to the measure and for
their servile aid to the corporations in
" their present system of plunder." 1t cor
rectly states the position of the people of
this county, to be practically unanimous
against the present Determinations prac.
ticed against them, and declares with truth
that Representatives Brosius, Book, Davis,
Heidelbaugh and Kemper have misrepre-
sented their constituents.
1t scarcely does the Lancaster county
members of the general assembly justice,
however, when it intimates that the wishes
of the people of this county were made
