not long ago: 81 wonderj when the world at
large will come to realize that there is very
much more in perfumes tafan meets the nose?
| mean scents have other properties than
those of which the ~Clfactdry SENSE takes cog
niZance. For example, the SINE | OF roses,
thyme, bergamot, Glove pinks, some of the
honeysuckles, grapes, beth blossom and
fruit; peach and plum blossoms are both
tonic and prophylatic. They add to the ozone
of environment, either by giving 1t of them
selves or liberating it from other elements Of
the atmosphere. Contrariwise, nearly all the
lily family, tuberoses, neroii-which is oil of
orange fOwers-violets and nearly all the arti-
fetal perfumes are depressants and irritant
to the nerves and the mucous membrane.
Musk iS 20 many constitutions slow poison
hence the danger of cheap perfumes. Musk
is the basis of them all 1t must be, since it
has so great a quality Of fixing other odors.
A very little Of the scent substance goes a
long way, If mixed with musk. Do you know
a grain of musk was weighed, then left
exposed in a room for five years. Through
out that time the odor was almost insuffer-
ably strong in the place, yet at the end of il
the weight of the musk had not diminished a
particle. But that is beside the mark.
What | set out to say was: Beware of the
flower or the substance whose scent gives a
safe guide and the smothering is her danger

at is so like women" said a clubman
recently. "to take a club rejection of them
selves or one of their friends so much to
heart. In a mans club the matter is viewed
much more philosophically. A man is put
up at a club-if he gets in he is pleased; if
he doesn't he does not resent it, except
under unusual circumstances. His rejection
does not necessarily imply anything derog-
atory to his character, simply, as the editors
say, that for that particular club he is not
available But women go all to pieces
over such a happening. My wife recently
proposed a woman at a club of which she
is a member. and the name was turned
down by the Board of Admissions. Where
upon my wife bit her fngernails off in de-
spair at what she considered an awful
thing not only for her friend, but for her
self. The particular club referred to is
very conservatives; it has certain fixed rules
governing it's membership that no one has a
right to disregard; the applicant in question
did not respond to the test established and
was therefore not eligible. That was all
there was OF it. 1t all comes, | suppose,
from the extremely personal point from
which women look at everything
"Dr. Kate G. Horner, Coroner" is the
legend on a plain board nailed to the front
of a neat two-story frame house in the lit
tie town of Fender, Thurston county, Neb.,
on the border of the Omaha reservation.
Miss Horner was put up for the place by
the democrats last fall, and is the first
woman coroner ever elected, Sne is 20
years of age. A correspondent who visited
her office and had expected to meet an
elderly and plain woman of masculine mold

vacious young woman eyed him with a
