and most expensive methods 10 10 conceal

The philosophy Of the mGttSF-foT ~

In ones clothing,
Beauty depends largely upon odor, -
the theory goes. The woman Who brSathss
sweet odors will have brighter eyes than
the one who does not. The woman Vhcss
scents accord with her moods will have 4
happier expression than the one who IL
without such harmony.
The French milliners make what IL known
a. the thumb sachet for the hat. IL 10 Of
ribbon and exactly matches the hat trim
ming. IL Is filed with perfume and IL
then slipped into the heart Of . wide nib
bon bow.
Another thumb saohet 10 concealed In
the folds Of ribbon that 60 around the hat.
And there 10 q chance for q sachet or two
in the knots Of ribbon that are placed here
and there in the trimming.
The stufing for the sachet 10 lambs
wool. The perfume is very light but very
penetrating. II is the delicate, insistent
odor that olings about the Spanish woman,
who Is the most dSlicately scented woman
in the world, and about the Russian, who
spends more money upon rare extracts
than any other woman In Europe.
The French woman will have a bodice
built with two sachets in it's lining. They
are chapel somSthing like the crescent
moon, and their hiding place is just under
the arms. whore the dress protector comes.
They are made Of silk interlined with lambs
wool and contain a little layer Of delicate
sachet powder,
There arc two ways Of securing the
sachet In place. One way is 70 sew 10 70
the dress shield and The other 10 to tie Il TO
the shoulder with a ribbon through which
the hand and arm may slip. There are
women who tic these little bags 20 their

The idea is that the warmth Of the body will
send the sweet odor forth.
When the very up TO date Paris milliner
sells a hat 10 a customer she insists that a
set o6sachets 20 with the hat. The wealth.

the bags match the flowers on the hat

The hat, II il be very modish. will have q
lining Of scented silk. This 10 silk made
sweet by sleeping in sachet powder for a
long time. There come silks for this pur-
pose that are woven with perfumed ma
terials.
The bandeau then comes in for lie delicate
interlining Of perfumed silk. And then
come the hat trimmings, all Of which get
a touch Of sweet powder TO make them
odorous.
The principle Is that the hat, being eX-
posed to the wind, will soon lose its scent.
SO at first II can be very heavily scented.
After a little while. even after one or two
wearings. the scent will have died down 10
a moderate sweetness.
In the course Of six weeks 1t will have
disappeared entirely, when the hat must

and beauty Of the owner.
Sweet scents have an effect upon the eI-
preston OF the face and particularly do
they affect the Sleep. That Ia why the
woman who wants TO be beautiful insists
upon wearing q scented hair bow at night.
II is made Of very wide ribbon and II IS
in two t~hicknesses, with a layer OF wad-
ding in between. In the wadding there Is
a pinch az saohet powder
This bow is tied on top OF the hair at
night in such a way that II looks pretty,
while at the same time II perfumes the
hair.
In addition to the crescent shaped hays.
for the under arm places, there is q vice
fat piece, which is put on as a pad, Just az
the top Of the corset. The beauty OF this
scented pad is that II smells sweet as a
woman talks. As her bosom heaveo there
comes forth q sweet scent that is most de-
lightful 10 the nostrils.
1t il this eachet, coming as 1t does right
under the chin, that Is supposed 10 keep
germs way inc 10 prevent evil odore from
affecting the nerves. Sweet spices we're
once used to heal the sick, and they have
the same use to-day, but the fashionable
woman carries them with her instead OF
combining them 10 the sickroom,
The high wired lace stock all points is
now made the medium for a Oachet, The
stock Ia topped by a rim OF velvet which ia
really a sachet. Between the rim Of velvet
and the lace there 10 an interlining Of chiffon
and In this there is strewn a dust Of sweet
powder. The stock smells sweet, though
you could never guess why unless you
were told.
A mininer manufactured a ladder Of little
bows for the back Of a gown, In each one
Of the rounds Of the bow ladder there vas
a tiny saohet. II takes art and patience
10 make these tiny things, but they are
immensely effective in the pertaining Of =
costume.
A miIiner gives these directions for per-
iuming an Faster hat or a spring hat Of n
kind:
1T can be done in a few hours, she says,
IL you know how and are willing 70 spend
the money. To perfume a hat we'll costs
about 81. That is, II one uses cheap scent.
The fashionable woman spends $40, while
the woman who have their own perfumes
manufactured expressly for them think
nothing Of paying t25 for scent enough to
spice a hat properly.
sThe essential thing ia a tin boz. ANY
covered cake box will do. But IL must BE-
large enough 10 hold the hat without injury
to the feathers.
zone woman utilized a tin Joe chest for
the purpose. A big white paper boz can,be

lined with silk.
sThe most successful scented hat boz !
ever saw was made OF paper, and there we're
four inside pieces Of silk which served to

filled with scent they were simply over
