Evidently more thought goes into the 4
planning of a girls summer wardrobe
than the uninitiated would suppose.
1t is, of course quite superfuous for me
to say that a refined gentlewoman will
never be too lavish in her use of perfume
and sachet powders, says writer In the
Philadelphia Times. She will never go
about the world with an overpowering per-
fume about her that preceded her into
room and announce her presence before
she is SEEN Many people, of course, do
use too much scent, but they are not
gentlewomen in any sense of the word,
and proclaim their vulgarity and station
in life in the way they overpower one with
some favorite sachet powder combined
with a heavy clinging perfume. Some
people seem to imagine also that it pro-
claims long purse and a good income to
buy only those perfumes whose scent is
the most overpowering and strong. A del
icate perfume, whose presence is limited
at rather than forced on ones notice, they
seem to consider shows poverty in the per-
son who uses it, and they hurriedly run to
the other extreme in their vulgar desire
to proclaim their wealth to the world at
large
Some people also make the mistake of
not resting content with using one per-
fume only, but mix one or two opposite
scents together at the same time with a
most unhappy result. They combine new
mown hay and cherry blossom for in
stance, and one is quite bewildered 10
know whether it is spring time or summer.
All women of refined minds have some
favorite flower, and will wear no other
as long as they can obtain that special
one; and in selecting perfume they natur-
ally chose the one that Is yielded by that
favorite flower They are also most par
ticular in paying a good price for it, as
cheap perfume is an abomination to every
one who has the misfortune to encounter
it. Besides, a cheap perfume is far more
costly in the end, as a drop of good and
expensive perfume will last twice long
and smell three times as strong and sweet
as one that is cheap and nasty. The sachet
powder that is used with the perfume
should be identical with it, or match it in
odor.
Perfume should never be used TO over
power any disagreeable smell or closeness
of any kind; the effect is only horribly
sickly and does not achieve what 1t is
supposed to- Perfect freshness and sweet
ness is required before the perfume is used
and then the effect is all that can be de-
| sired. The best way to use perfume is to
keep a tiny vaporizer on your dressing
table and use a little in that, or put few
| drops on your handkerchief and laces.
If you wish to perfume your furs you
| should remember that the scent clings to
| them long after it has left anything else,
| so you should be moderate in how you
use it.
The way to perfume your clothing is to
do it by means of sachet powder A good
| plan is to have a very thin.y padded silk
slip to lay on the bottom of all your Draw
ers where linen, etc, is kept into this
! your sachet powder must be quilted. You
| can also introduce the perfume into your
| skirts and bodies by means of tiny fiat
| silk pads that have the sachet powder
quilted inside But this should be very
carefully done, and not to much powder
used at time They must also be fire.
! quenfly changed or they will smell stale.
1t is far better, however that the per-
| fume should be suggested by the clothing
having acquired 1t by being in a wardrobe
or drawer with scented walls than that
it should be overdone by too much powder
| In the dress itself.
young woman of this city, says the
| Chicago Times-Hera,d, who Is about to
be married. had a cali recently which was
| in the nature of a surprise, and affected
her unpleasantly, like decree of fate.
| She was summoned to the parlor, where
a young woman of her own age awaited
her but who was evidently very differ
entity situated in life, and who was now
weeping softly.
II have called to make an apology"
said the girl between her sobs. II am

it meant bad luck to cry over a wedding
gown, and she discharged me- am very
sorry, and I don't believe such trifiing

Then this fortunate young woman said :
