"Take gallon OF strawberries and

five days. Strain them gently out and
sweeten the water as you please with
fine sugar or else with perfume"
Queen Elizabeth was exceedingly
fond OF perfumes. and. according to
this old book. her favorite scent was
made in this manner: Take eight
spoonfuls OF compound water, the
weight of twopence in Gne powdered
sugar and boil it on hot embers or Goals

marjoram. dry It in the sun. the weight
of twopence of powdered benjamin
