Perfumes.

The use Of any particular kind of
perfume will always be a matter Of in
dividual taste, irrespective of the
changes that sway the fashionable
world from time to time. The few fas-
tidious souls who have tried to per
suade the world that it is exceedingly
vulgar to admit any liking for sweet
scents of any description have most ig-
ANONYMOUSLY failed, as at no time has
the popularity of sachets, toilet waters
and highly priced extracts been greater
than during the present season. The
danger of going to excess in the use of
a very decided odor is one that should
be fully understood by any one who
desires to refrain from offending her
associates. Like everything else in
life, too much is worse than none at
all. A happy medium is what all
should strive to reach.-Rochester Her

Plaster Ornaments.

Nothing takes the dust more freely
than plaster objects, more or less arts
tic, which are the modest ornaments
Of our dwellings,. They rapidly con-
tract a yellow gray color of unpleas-
ant appearance Here is a practical
method for restoring the whiteness:
Take finely powdered starch, quite
white, and make thick paste with
hot water. Apply when still hot with
a flexible spatula or brush on the
plaster object The layer should be
quite thick. Let it dry slowly. On
drying the starch will split and scale
off. All the soiled parts of the plaster
will adhere and be drawn off with the
scales.
