or even tiny bit OF apple peellng. 1t
takes very little to- make a pleasant
smell in the room.
The influence of sdors upon the
spirits can shardly be overestimated.
IT you will 60 in pine forest you are
greeted with smell which is invigor-
ating, almost Intoxicating, in its curl
Gus baoyancy.
If you go into clover field you get
an odor which is just as pleasant but
altogether different, and this odor can
be brought into the house in winter
by taking clover heads, drying them
and stuffing pillows with them. On
some muggy, gloomy day the pillow
can be warmed up and you have a
perfume which is delightful
If you want something particularly
pleasant take some sea salt and put
it in a wide mouthed bottle and pour
in a few drops of violet perfume.
Close the bottle tight, let it stand
while, then open, and you get the cur
ieus smell of the salt sea, with slight
tinge of violet, which is always found
in salt air.
IT, you want to take bath in some
thing that is very sweet smelling pre-
pare some sea salt after this fashion.
Buy the salt at the drug store; take
a big handful Of it, lay it in a bottle
and add some violet perfume. Let it
stand three days and it is ready for
the bath.
Another plan is to add to the sea
salt grain of musk, a little essence Of
violet and finally about teaspoonful
of alcohol. Set the bottle away for
three days, turning it twice day.
When you are ready to take your
bath, throw a handful of the sea salt
inte the water. 1t will perfume the
water without making it too salty.
Take jug Of salt, and into gallen
jug pour half an ounce of rose gerani-
um ell and cup of alcohol. Turn
your jug upside down. Let it stand
a day, turn it back for a day or so,
and SO on until you have worked with
it three weeks. The result will be a
very nice jug of sweet smells.
There come squares of a preparation
OF ammonia which can be made into
very nice bath vinegar. Take doz-
en- or more of these solid pieces and
add just enough violet perfume to COW
er them.
Then add spirits of cologne until
you have pint bottle nicely filed
This makes delicious bath vinegar,
which can be used every day for two
weeks, for it takes very little to per-
fume the water.
If you like your hands to smell
sweet, and to some people there is
something positively Intoxicating
about pair Of sweet hands, you can
make hand wash by taking a quart
of spirits of cologne, put it in a half
gallon jug, add an ounce of oil of rose
geranium and two grains Of musk.
Let it stand a week; then fill up
with spirits Of cologne. At the end
of another week you will have as fine
a gallon of perfume as you will want.
When you are ready to wash your
hands with this sweet mixture take a
bowl of warm water and add to it a
pinch of powdered borax. Into this
put half wine glass of perfume.
Use no soap, but keep this water
for rinsing. 1t will impart lasting
fragrance which will remain upon
your hands from morning until night.
Have you ever tried putting u p y our
winter turs in perfumery?
Make some sachets and scatter them
through the storage chest, thus using
sachet powders instead of camphor.
You will find that the moths stay
away just az we'll and the furs come
out in the fall smelling sweet.
And the same thing with clothes
those which you are putting away un-
til spring. Many of them are of cash
mere and light wool and you don't
want the moths to get into them. Put
them away between layers of sachets
and you will find that you will have
never moth.
There is a story told of a woman
who spent the summer upon the Jer.

slept in peace.
