PERFUMES AGAIN IN STYLE.
For Several Years Scents Were in Dis
favor, But a Reaction Has
Now Set In.

The smart woman of to-day has her
own special perfume, and, if she is par
ticularly faddy, she has a special man
distill it from a special flower after a
special recipe. For the last five years
it has been considered in wretched taste
to wear the slightest suspicion of scent,
but the reaction has set in, and now
the toilet water, toilet powder, bureau
drawer, note paper, hats, soaps, face
creams, and all the belongings of the
1904 girl are permeated with her special
brand. And why not? Beauty has long
ago set its approval on the practice. and
many famous woman of history had
her choice scent The memoirs of Re-
camier, De Stael, La Pompadour, Du
Barry, and hosts of others mention par
ticularly the fragrance that surround
ed the rooms and person of the old-time
beauties. To be sure, the fastidious
woman of our day does not saturate her
hair and handkerchief in odors. She
will not even use liquid perfume. But
by the discriminating use of fragrant
satchet bags we'll distributed In gowns,
hats, coats and gloves a delicate aroma
is waited that is extremely agreeable to
the most fastidious of noses.
Some of the best-liked scents are Par
ma violets, white rose, and that newest
favorite which is called water lily. This
last is an oriental mixture of powders
which is very lasting, and possesses a
peculiarly foreign perfume that is very
pleasing.

THE FAMILY LINEN CHEST.
It Should at All Times Be Kept Per-
.fumed with Appropriate
Sachet Powder.

A dainty housekeeper always takes
pride in the arrangement and freshness
Of her linen closet The faint fragrance
of lavender blossoms about the bed
linen is always delight. inexpensive
sachets made the length and width OF
the closet drawers are sometimes used
as Innings, in preference to the ordinary
white shelving paper. These satchets
should not, of course, be strongly per-
TUNED, but simpl made of one layer OF
cotton batting over which a little vio-
let or other satchet powder is scattered
A few dried lavender blossoms are es-
pecially nice. The cotton batting is
covered with cheesecloth in any soft
color the housewife may fancy. The
satchet is then tufted with embroidery
silk and tiny bow-knots of narrow rib
bon.
Sometimes fastidious housekeepers
make sachet strips of white butchers
linen, eyeleted at either end, and run
with No. ribbon. The perfumed pads
of cotton batting are slipped into these
and may be taken out when they are
sent to the wash.
The simplest way Of arranging the
linen chest or the bedroom bureau
drawers is to line them with clean white
shelving paper, and place small
sachet in each one If these sachets are
made Of glace or India silk in deeI
colors, they do not become so easily
soiled as when made of cotton. If a
sachet is to be filled with dried rose
leaves or rose sachet powder, dull rose
colored silk should be used. Lavender
colored sachets are filled with dried law
ender blossoms. City Journal.

BABY cocARTs IN CHICAGO
They Have supplanted the Baby Car
riage Because They Take Up
~ Far Less Room.

Chicago has more gocarts adapted to
the use Of small children Of American
parents than any other city in the
world. And the demand for the gocart
is still growing, in spite of the fact that
some of the medical authorities OF
Great Britain have been writing mono
graphs upon it's use by American women
who are visiting that kingdom.
Two things above all others in Chi
cago have made for the demands for the
gocart. First Of these is the fiat build
ing; second, the congested downtown
district, which may bring the mother
of the middle class seven miles to State
street to buy two yards Of ribbon. AND
coming down town with the baby that
is in short dress, how is it possible with
out the gocart? How, otherwise
could she get down from a fourth-door
apartment with the perambulator? And
how else is it possible for her to put
it on an elevated train, as with the 60
cart, and bring it into the loop dis
trict?
But, in spite of all this, the British
physician is quoted as saying OF the 60
cart in the United States: 'Perhaps ba-
bies of too tender age are not put IN
them; perhaps in the rush OF trans
atlantic city life such trifes as curVa-
ture of the spine and malformatlon OF
other bones do not count
Looking over the modern gocart as
it is seen in the stores at prices rang
ing from $2.75 to $4.95, the layman who
may have baby of his own is struck
with the fact that in all probability the
designs were not attested by any par
ticular body of men or women who have
at heart the improvement of the human
race. Such a machine seems in the
first place adapted to the convenience OF
space rather than to the convenience and
comfort of the baby that is to sit in it.
1t will fold up until it isn't thicker than
an ordinary mattress, and in its folded
condition it will stand alone when the
baby might tumble headlong. The bot
tom of it will not adapt itself to re-
clining position; it has pair OF springs
which are remarkable for the quality OF
springlessness; the bottom is OF hard
wood and the wheels are designed as u

He turned from the window and saw on
the seat in front Of him a baby, plump,
well-fed, happy baby, who seemed to be
on good terms with himself and the
whole world. The baby was standing
on its mothers lap, leaning over her
shoulder so as to face the seat behind.
AS Billy looked at it the baby again
broke into a gurgling laugh and extend
ed it's chubby fists in Billy's direction.
Even q man on his way to the peniten-
tiary would have found it hard to resist
such advances, and Billy, despite his
faults, was fond of children. He snapped
his fingers at the baby, who chuckled
gleefully at the performance. The
mother looked around with the proud
smile of young mother, who is certain
there never was baby to compare with
hers. As Billy, for the time forgetful of
his own troubles, continued his attempts
to amuse and interest the child, the lit
tie one began to manifest q strong de-
sire to come to his new found friend.
Billy looked at the sheriff doubtfully.
Go on, take him." said the Official, in
kindlier tones than he usually used to-
wards prisoners In his charge. "Guess
whatever else you may have done, Billy,
there's no danger of your hurting a kid
like that" -->
Billy half rose in his seat, and the
young mother, accustomed to tho easy
manners Of the west, and rather proud
Of the facility of her baby for making
friends, was about to pass the baby to
Billy when suddenly there came from
the engine the long. shrieking whistle
which all railroad men know and dread
the danger signal. The next second
the brakes gripped the car wheels with
. suddenness and force which sent the

TYPICAL CHICAGO GOCART.

pebble or the least noticeable rut in the
roadway.
did you ever ride over an Irish road
In an Irish jaunting carp" asked DR.. Jo-
seph B. De Lee as return question. ''Or
over corduroy road in Wisconsin, hold
ing with both hands to the rail of buck
board seat? Probably when some of the
present babies of the gocart have grown
to these adult experiences they may get
an idea of some former existence from
the jaunting car and the blackboard. Ger
tainly one may imagine the babes get
ting about the same relative shaking up
from the gocart.
1.-THE menace of the gocart, should
say, would be in putting babies into it
before they are old enough to sit up
properly. 1t would be impossible to give
a positive age limit at which babies may
be put into such cart, for the reason
that such babies at eight months old
are more able to sit up than are others
that are a year and half old. In gen.
eral, however, a baby should not be put
into one of these carts until it is one
and one-half or two years old.
"This is not to say that child viii
be thrown out Of shape because of little
riding in such vehicle; in all probable
ity it's greatest suffering would come
from the shaking up it would receive in
the beginning. At the most this would
reflect upon the nervous condition OF the
child and keep it awake when it should
be asleep. But if the human body at
any stage of its development were so
susceptible to gocart postures as to crook
spine and thighs and bones of the pei
Wis, there wouldn't be straight man in
Chicago.
1.-THE mother of the child nowadays
does not expect to stay at home and be-
come a nurse; she wishes to get out OF
doors herself, and she wants to take
her child into the air. The gocart ie
the solution of the difficulty, especially
IL the mother lives in fiat or an apart
ment. In coming down town, where
the mother cannot leave the child with
q competent nurse, the gocart is the only
possible means by which she can get
into State street for shopping. She
cannot strap the child to her back, and
she cannot carry it; she trundles the
little one to the car line, folds up the
cart, and stores it in corner until she
reaches her destination, after which the
child may be put back into it and be
wheeled all over the loop district, if the
mother wishes. The cart has come to stay
with the mothers of the middle class
