Perfumes to Arabia.
KANSAS.

Once more is brought to mind the
changes wrought through the turning
of times whirligig. Who would have
thought that America, an unknown
land when the east was at the height
of its fame, would ever become a
caterer to special oriental fad?
There was a time when the east was
noted as the originator of various lux
uries, including perfumes of the most
exquisite order. Shakespeare hints at
this when he makes Lady Macbeth af-
firm, after the indelible mark of crime
has been impressed: "All the per-
fumes of Arabia will not sweeten this
little hand" Yet now, says the Troy
Times. it seems Arabia may get its
perfumes from the United States. Cen
sui William Coffin, stationed at Maskat,
says there is an excellent chance for
the sale of the American article in
that quarter, remarking: "Perfumery,
an article of luxury among Europeans,
seems to be almost household neces-
sity in Oman, where men as well as
women use it lavishly. On formal
visits 1t is usually offered to a guest
after sherbeit and coffee have been
served, and favorite present. where
many services are requited by gifts in
stead of money, is an expensive bottle
of scent. Arabia, so long famous for
its spices and perfumes, now goes
abroad for its perfumery." After ex-
planning at considerable length the
best way in which to put up American
perfumes in order to attract native
fancy, Consul Coffin again points out
that there is an opportunity for secur-
ing considerable custom among the
well-to-do not only of the city of
Maskat but Of the country at large.-So
here is chance both to expand
American trade and shed fragrance
abroad.
