CLOTH CARRIES PERFUME.

Dividing Among Her FRVorite

A dressmaker, recently returned
from Paris, brought a small but very
valuable piece of red material, which
she is going to divide sparingly
among her most favored customers,
After awhile, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, it will be accessible to a larger
circle, as the material will ultimately
be put upon the market. just now the
manufacturers have not been able to
complete the material in the way they
desire. Now the only color in which
this material can be made is light red,
of the hue that the farmer wears when
he has rheumatism, or did wear until
short time ago. Later IL will be possi-
bic to impart the merits of this inven-
Ion to other colors, although 1t would
probably become just as popular in the
present red monotony. For this cloth
can retain in the most wonderful way
the odors of perfume. 1t is expected
TO solve. in the best fashion. the prob
lem as TO the best way in which TO per-
fume dresses.
Many other expedients have been
tried. such as small sachets sewed in
the draperies, but none of them is so
simple as this cloth, which is laid in
the lining or otherwise concealed about
the waists. 1t diffuses n delicate odor,
which is never exhausted, however long
the time of gowns use may he. Vari-
ous scents may be given to the cloth,
and the number viii be increased MS the
makers complete the details OF the
work.
When the material goes on the mar
ket there is little danger that this new
invention will ever become common.
The price is prohibitive to any but
women who are willing TO pay for what
they want, whatever it may cost.
