Every woman should keep in mind
the analogy between the dress and the
perfume they should be harmonious.
For instance, the only permissible
manner for an American woman to
perfume her wardrobe is through the
use OF sachets, light. fluffy dresses
suggesting some subtitle scent, like
that of apple blossoms, heavy material
being susceptible to more clinging
fragrance. Linen suggests lavender
and rose.
These sachots are now being made
in all sizes and shapes, to be used in
veil cases, bonnet boxes, wardrobes.

tiny slippers. IfyourIevening bonnet is
