nervous spirits greatly, and to be an ex-
cellent antidote to neuralgia tendencies.
"The Duchess of Roxburghe has all Of
her clothes highly scented, n in Floors
Castle there are whole clothes presses made
of scented wood, one Of sandalwood being
particularly sweet.
And 50 one might go on enumerating
the country houses and palaces and the
perfume specialties of each.
But the greatest fad of all is the flower
garden 9 RI. This is the young woman
who il perfumed with the sweetest and
most delicious and refreshing SCENT
ITO be a true flower garden girl you must
make a study of perfumes and you must
be able to combine them just right. That
is the real secret OF IL all.
This giEl VINO Uses rose scent to excess
errs; while the girl who smells all of Jas
mine is sickeniny. The all violet girl is
little better, while the heliotrope girl is
tiresome to ones nerves. The flower gar
den girl is different.
THE first time l had occasion to perfume
a young woman's belongings was When l
was called in TO help a debutante to social
success.
"As a beauty specialist I examined the
young woman's wardrobe to look for mis-
takes in color and l found them. There
were no floral colors. The tones were gray
and tan and bronze and all color except
the flower colors, which are pink and rose
and blue and gold. No wonder she was
not a hit.
Then. too, there was no scent about
them. One lovely gown in pale green,
which should have been fairly redoient of
the meadow, was heavy with a starchy
odor. a. though the material had just come
from the stifening factory; and another
costume. a lovely thing in indigo. fairly
smelled Oiv.
How horriblel' said l.
Then went TO work. In all her jackets
there we're pockets, and in each pocket
I put a sachet bag. h bags were made
Of Japanese paper. and we're verv tough.
Il had them folded and sewed just to fit
the pockets. and I filed zach bag with
an Oriental perfume as heavy as could
procure. The coats were street coats and
could stan a great deal Of scent.
IF there we're three pockets in the coat. !
nut in three sachets; II there were four. I
put in four. Each pocket had its own little
fitted paper sachet lining.
Next. l tackled tho dress skirts. which
needed the Rachet badly enough, for they
smelled Of tapes. braid. lining. Az the Young
woman was slender. | made countless. little
bags which l hung from narrow ribbons.
These l made up rs one would make a shower
bou1uet.
some Of the ribbons were long and some
were short. but / attached them all at the
belt line, and sewed them fast.
The sachets for the dress skirts were
all filed with a rose preparation which
/ make for myself. There Is a drop Of oil OF
rose geranium and there u a gram OF inusk'
and some spirits Of cologne / put all upon
some cotton, and this I inclose in more cot
ton is wrapped In rose saGhet powder.
1T makes a very penetrating scent, Just
such q scent AZ one would IKE TO have in
one's skirts. Il II far from being nau-
seating. IL fills the air a. one walks but
il not heavy as IL would he upon ones hand
kerChief.
For the handkerchief and the bodice
I use very little. A fow drops IA the waist
rs laid away Is enough. while the hand
kerchiefs need only a silk case filed with
sachet powder. That will keep them
scented.
Tine real secret Of tho perfnmed at
mosphere lies in ones locks and In mes
lingerie, and also in mes bath.
There is a girl who takes n bath daily
In "a tub into which there has been d opped
one scented tablet. There " another girl
who pours a cup Of home made perfume
in her tub before letting the bot water
run into IL.
when partly full she adds a handful
Of pine needles sewn In q bag and she
