Pertaining Dresses.

Strange to soy, there areyery few women
who understand the difficult art of using
perfumes. It is a great mistake to change
in this respect. according to the dictates Of
fashion, and thoroughly refined aud ele-
giant woman never commits this error. She
adopts one particular scent and uses 1t to
the seclusion Of all others, rendering It thus
peculiarly her own, proceeding which
stamps her at once with a "cachet' Of
daintiness and exclusiveness. 1t need not
be added that heavy scents are vulgar and
disagreeable, besides being positively dis
-tressing to persons whose olfactory nerves
are delicate aud sensitive. Something
slight and subtle, such as mixture Of peau
d'Espagne and Russian violet, or gray am
Der and sandalwood, is exquisite. Partisan
dressmakers and couturiers never omit to
ask when dress is ordered from them what
perfume is adopted by their client, and
they then proceed to introduce between the
Innings tiny fat sachets prepared in &C
cordance with the answer. These are mex.
pensive little details, which add greatly tc
the charm Of toilet and which anybody
can afford to indulge in.-New York Trib
