PERFUMERY SECRETS.
How the scent of Flowers Is Caught
in Fat and Transferred to Alcohol.

How the scent OF tIOWers Is CBuRhh
in Fat and Transferred to Alcohol.
From the Birmingham (Eng) Post.
The fluid substance of which a bottle
of first-class scent consists is not water,
but highly rectified spirits of wine, i'm
pregnated with the desired odor; but the
infusion of fragant flowers in spirits of
wine would fail to produce the desired
result. An intermediate process is requis-
tie and that consists of enchanting the
subtle perfume of the flowers by means
of fat, for which they have very strong
affinity, whereas spirit is simply solvent
Some flowers are macerated in fat, While
others are simply brought into close JuX-
Imposition TO grease-covered screens, with
the result that the fat becomes heavily
charged with perfume. and will yield it
afterwards TO the spirits of wine. The first
task of ne manufacturer, unless this work
is done for him by an Intermediary, Is TO
derive from the pomades what is called
q "sinple extract" In Birmingham, the
pomade. worth from shillings 9 pence
to shnlings a pound, is first opened out
into flaments by a squeezer, and Is then
placed in a churn containing some twenty
gallons of spirits. The heaters of the
churn are kept rotating by machinery for
about a week, az the end of which time
the spirit is drawn off and is found TO have
taken up the odor Of the flowers in an an
tense degree The spirit is afterWard
frozen to facilitate the removal of GER
tain residue of fat, and after this 1t forms
are diluted and blended into articles for
a nerfectly clear and limpid simple eX-
tract" aud is placed upon the laboratory
shelf
II is in the laboratory that the materials
the toilet. 1t is here where the receipt
hook. and sin more a cultivated appre-
citation Of odor, comes into play. Scents
are placed upon the market bearing the
names of most of the odOriferous flowers
known. Few only of these are direct eX-
tracts from the flowers by which they are
called. The vast majority are limitations
perfume pictures, in fact-of the orig
mails. Violet scent is not wholly derived
from the violet. but the floral extract has
to he helped and reinforced by odors more
permanent and derived from other sources.
OF late years synthetic fragrant oils have
been obtained from that Protean substance
coal tar.

propriate proportions, the predominant ell
ements being musk and vanilla Jockey

ment "Opopanax" has twelve ngredi-
ents. while Parma Violet" scent has
fourteen. Upon the other hand. there arc
some simpler blends. Among them is the
once fashionable but now vulgar patchou-
" oil and altar of roses Many improve
ments have been made in the formulate or
iginally IN use, and the odors of not a
few delicately scented flowers are now

years ago, were not regarded as within

lonesome. 1t amt so bad for me, because
l like to see just what operas like, even
if it is like this; but it's a pity to let you
in for this just on my account. You're
awfully good about it"
The victims sense of humor began to
assert itself.
Don't worry about that" she said, with
a queer little smile. Then the curtain
went down and the lights f1ared up.
Now, this is fun" remarked the in
FAINT.
II love to look at people and their
clothes. 1 must say, though, there aren't
half so many jewels as 1 thought there d
be- Now, you show me the big folks in
the boxes. Thatl be lovely"
The New York woman hesitated for a
moment. She didn't know to whom the
single box belonged, and she didn't know
a member of the 400 by sight, but she
thought of the infants disappointment and
disgust stirred her to action. She
wouldn't confess her ignorance Her pro-
tege ought to have something for her
money. She wanted to see celebrities.
She should see them. The chaperon ran
a mental eye over the society columns Of
the papers. Then she sat up energeucally
and began to fill the boxes across the
house She didn't consult the diagram
on the programme, That would be too
tedious and less interesting than nctlon
pure and simple. She pointed out the
Vanderbilt boxes, and named the occu-
pants. She sprinkled the half horseshoe
with Astors. CThe Astor box was on the
other side of the house, but that made
no difference to the infant, since she didn't
know it,
"Oh. is that Mrs. John Jacob Astor?"
cried the infant ecstatically.
1T is" said the chaperon, wondering
whether Mrs Jack Astor was in Nice or
Alaska.
who's that with her?"
That's Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney
Vanderbilt, you know; married Secretary
Whitney's son. The New York woman
reclSlessly cast facts and probabilities to
the winds, and warmed TO her work.
Lovely" gurgled the infant. 60 on"
She went on. She knew the Goelets,
