The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-15


1t requires infinite good taste and some
outlay, says the New York Press, to wear
perfumes this winter, for on good author
ity only the hopelessly inartistic woman
puts any scented waters on her handker-
chief All her clothing must be impreg-
mated with fragrance by means of saehets,
or perfume dried on. Her sachet CON
tinues to be chiefly of orris powder or that
novel and interesting potpourri of hello
trope, lavender and orange blossoms, dried
and ground up together. With these Is
mixed the sawdust of sandal wood, and the
result is a strong, sweet and lasting pow
der. A few spoonfuls Of this ought to
be sewed into a little flannel bag, then into
a china silk cover, and disposed about
ones bureau drawers and closet shelves
to diffuse delicious odors
Extravagant women buy their sachets
in the form of huge flowers. Big roses,
long-throated lilies, dahlias, and great
satin marigolds, which have odorous pow
der stored down in their large green mus
lin calyx, beneath the exqulsitely tinted
petals Spread among lace trimmed lin
gere the effect is very luxurious and beau
tiful, and those who don't do this have
every piece of linen separately perfumed
before It Is put on. The maid with an
exceedingly small atomizer, lightly sprays
over the linen little violet or diluted oil
or rose water, and then puts the garments
for a moment into the oven. Just for a
moment, and the oven must be barely
warm, or, II the oven is not convenient, she
holds the moistened clothes to the steam
radiator or register.
In an instant almost they were warm
and dry, and retain just enough perfume
to vaguely delight ones senses. Since the
new open aluminium boot trees have come
into common use every lady insists thai
har oh q and her glluDf =
too with long, narrow muslin sachet bags
in their toes. Her stockings go into a
, long reticule OF wadded satin, and her
handkerchiefs into the prettiest little Ja-
panese cabinet, that, with Its many draw
ers, sits on her dressing tables. White
mouchoirs go in one drawer, pink-edged
ones i'm another, blue, black, scarlet and
lace-trimmed ones into third. fourth and
fifth. once a week, when clean handker-
chiefs come from the laundry, all the
drawers are taken out, the old satchet
powder tossed in the fire and fresh
spoonful sprinkled like sand among the
contents.
Perhaps the last among the whlms Of
fastidious women Is the small catchet
sheets and Is taken out at night. 1t Is
heavily impregnated with lavender or vio-
let powder and can be bought, all pre-
pared. at the shops like the new perfumed
wells and fans and gloves Careful stEiin-
ing Is the means whereby these last three
articles are given their delicious oder.
that does not last, however, but few
days.
The same code of fashion that stlll
frowns on the use OF perfume on onas
stationery discourages the mixing OF Cd
ors. If you elect 10 use hellotrope, use
that only, and with every thing. or con-
fine yourself strictly TO violet, or the cx-
quiste French Nell du Capucine Ia Eng

on your dressing table to rub into the
palms Of your hands dab lightly about
the back of your neck and anolnt your
ears, keep a tiny square jug OF "A Ia
Refine des Abelis" or "Vlolette du Czar.
The first Is supposed 10 be an extract
from the bread bees make to feed their
queen on the richest pollen In the flow
ers. The other Is a new dstillation from
Russian violets, and though exceedingly
costly, this is as pure a bouquet OF the
violet as altar OF rose Is OF the roses. All
of these new honeys and waters are ap-

finest camels hair brush, and then X

odor an unusually long time.
