PERFUMES. FOR THE NOBILITY.
Ambassador WhiteIaw Reid Engages
Services of EarIs Son.

At one time Lady Curzon had the
reputation of spending more money
ON perfumes than any other woman
| in England. 1t was said that she was
more extravaganza in this respect than
Queen Alexandra whose perfume bills
amounted to something like $1,000 a
year. Now, the story goes, the Ouch
ess of Roxburgh has become the
most extravagant purchaser of per-
fumery in the land. She patronizes
the heavy-scented essences Of the
East which are known to be most ex-
pensive. The cost of her daily bath
would, 1t is said, keep a middle-class
family for week. Lady Curzon
used these same essences at one time,
but she found them so expensive that
she decided to try cheaper extracts.
Queen Alexandra, too, has gone in
for retrenchment In the same direc-
ton, and she is now satisfied with
the favorite scent Of the late Queen
Victoria, which was species of law
ender water specially prepared for
her by a chemist at Windsor. The
Princess of Wales is also extravagant
in the use of scents and uses spe-
cial preparation made from violets
and other carefully cultivated flowers.
1t Is strange that Lady Suffolk, for
merly Miss Letter of Washington, dis
likes scents, considering her sisters
passion for them.
Even royalty finds it necessary to
yield obedience to the doctors orders.
The fiat has gone forth that Queen
Alexandra must eat no more sweet
things. In consequence, well-known
firm of London pastry cooks, who
have for many years supplied her
with confectionery and other
tempting dellcacies, have had their
order cancelled. For their loss of

There is great rivalry between the
United States Navy Yard at Brooklyn
and private shipbuilding concern at
Newport News, over the construction
of the two naval war leviathans, Con-
necticut and Louisiana. The Govern
ment Is building the Connecticut, and
the shipbuilding company is rushing
toward completion the Louisiana.
The figures given out but short time
ago by the Navy Department show
that the Connecticut is 91.36 per cent
completed, while her sister ship shows
a percentage of completion OF 1925.
A comparison shows then that the
built boat has slight
lead, which Is all the more gratifying
to the champions Of Government con-
truction when it is considered that
this is the first battleship ever built
in the United States by any other
than private constructors and that it
was predicted that the Government
could not compete with private build
