 Lord and Lady Aberdeen do, of
 course, have small dinners; but as a
 rule, 70 or so guests are bidden to Ri-
 deau Hall and assemble in the racket
 court, large room, with a small gall Iery, converted for the time into re- ception room, the floor covered with rugs, and sofas and armchairs here and there. The staff receives the guests, and it takes nearly an hour for the | anxious A. D. c. in waiting to identify | the guests and make the necessary in- | reductions. The scene is an amusing | one--that is, if9you have the man who I is to take you in well in sight and have | no fear as to being left alone at the l last minute. Of course to new A.

 The past Lenten season was notable for the unusual number of dinner par ties and teas that were given, though the latter from their dullness were con- sidered by many as eminently fitting for that period of sackcloth and ashes.

 I have heard that 100 pounds of fresh

 I would advise the young girl to
 avoid the use of certain scents as she
 would the plague and to be chary in the use of perfumes at all. Patchouli is a vulgar, degrading scent, and our young girl does not want even to put her questioning little nose to the bottle containing it, much less carry it's sug- gestiveness about with her. For my own part, would have the freshness and daintiness of the maiden look to no outside aid of this description to enhance her attractiveness. The only really suitable sweetness which she can
 wear is the breath of real fresh blos- sons. t.
 Few people are aware of how strong an influence certain perfumes have up-
 on the mental and moral as well as the physical nature. The perfume of white
 rose should be avoided by the man or woman of artistic nature, as it will in- duce idleness and a love of ease. The scent of verbena will infame a de- sire for alcoholic stimulants, and the odor of cloves promotes the growth of islander and evil speaking. VioIets in- duce gentleness and prayerfulness,
 while the thinker will aid his mental activity and promote clear, definite thought by the use of bergamot. fi
