PERFUMES THAT ARE POPULAR.
Revival Of Old FashIon-Right Place
for Scent Sachets.

~ SSS"s SsS'Sses
In the midst of so many present
day fashions copied from those Of a
hundred years ago 1t is scarcely sur
prislng that the habit Of using scent
In profusion should be numbered.
How they saturated themselves
with sweet waters In those old, old
days! We read Of very orgy of per-
fume In the time of Catherine de
Medici, and learn that the men then
were as prone, to Its use In profusion
as we're the women.
One great king perfumed himself
with amber from head to foot, and ev-
cry article of attire was scented.
The great Napoleon used foods OF
eau de cologne every morning, and
the Empress Josephine filled her
dressing room with musk In all sorts
of forms.
Today 1t Is the scene fountain and
the vaporizer that are In great re-
quest. With the vaporizer the lady's
maid scents her mistress before she
leaves her home in the morning and
after she has taken the perfumed
BATH
The excessive use of sachets at
tached to the costume is becoming
less modish than 1t was; there must
only be an atmosphere, a mere sug-
gestion Of scent instead of definite
aroma about the clothes. In order to
perfume them the wardrobe has its
long fiat sachet of scented powder to
fit each shelf.
When the boots and shoes are put
away little sachets are introduced
into them; the lace and ribbon drawer
has Its sachet also, and the only ones
that need be worn by day are sewn
into the corset and into the dainty
cap of muslin and lace In which the
belle takes her early cup of tea or
her basin of bread and milk the last
thing at night.
When the hair Is washed 1t Is
pleasant to use scent that shall
help to perfume the tresses, a per-
missible way of perfumlng the person
allowed under the regime of modern
taste.
The hairdressers of Paris are now
using eucalyptus leaves stepped in
boiling water for the shampoo used
for their customers hair, and find
that it makes the hair glossy as well
as fragrant.
Every day seems to introduce new
and coquettish developments of the
scene craze. A famous perfumer of
lingerie tempts her customers with
handkerchiefs, motor wells, shoulder
scarfs and lingerie threaded with rib
bons the color of the scent that is
her customers choice.
Supposing the favorite violet per-
fume be associated with the ele-
gante, her lingerie is threaded with
violet ribbons, and she wears violet
handkerchiefs, violet motor scarfs
and other violet fal-lals.
If rose is preferred, it is a rose
powder that is supplied, and to carry
the idea to It's utmost limit all the
decorations Of the bellies dressing

the pretty little lace boxes. gem cab
inets and all her toilet table fittings.
repeat her choice in brocade, crystal
and china.
Her writing table Is of course sup
piled with perfumed leather, and she
scents her stationery in order that 1t
may be impressed with her personal
ity as made manifest by her use of
one particular perfume. 1t is a charm
ing idea In daintiness.-London Daily

An extremely original figure is the

with the same colors. Among the
favors suited to these figures are ban.

The sailor tie is the fashionable

Selvedge Edge Draperies.

The fancy for tunics, straight
sleeves and scarfs has brought into
fashion the well-defined selvedge. It
comes in all materials, even those of
silk and wool. 1t is widely seen on
mousseline, wells, chiffon cloth, and
even batiste and gingham.

sentatives of $500 shinSleweavers for
an increase in wages, the Poison
Shingle company's mills and the East
HOquiam company's mills closed to-
day indefinitely. Similar action of
other mill owners is expected.
1t is probable that some of the mills
will remain open to clean up the tim
ber on hand and then close until the
strike conditions are ended. This ac-
ton of the mill men follows six hour
session yesterday by the local shingle
weavers' union. The uorkmen decid-
ed to submit their demands for in
creased wages this morning, and II re-
fused they would strike.
Their action affects 32 pills en-
Iloying $500 men. Chehalis is the only
county involved, but it is possible the
strike may spread along the coast. A
number of mills Of manufacturers are
standing by the association in order
to support the "open shop" policy.

This was the first exclamation of DIR.

There can't be doubt in the mind

wording makes me sure he reached
the pole. 1t sounds so like Peary. I
am mighty glad Peary has been sue
cessful for he is one of the bravest
and most perservering of men who
ever went north. He deserves all the
honor that will come to him. In ad-
dition l am certain his reports will
cOrrobOrate the data / have collected.
Of course it would be hypocritical in
me to attempt to conceal the fact that
am delighted to have been able to
plant the American flag at the pole a
year before Peary reached, the spot"
Despite his generous tribute, it is
obvious Peary's messages have nettled
Cook, he stating that owing to a desire
to rejOin his wife and children he may
sail for New York from Antwerp with
in a week. 1t is generally believed that
Cook deems it advisable to retain the
strategic advantage already gained
and get back to New York ahead of

Here expect an early opening of

it will break into an open feud with

enough to make the claim without
proof. He said:
Much of the glory of having ac-
complished the feat of reaching the
pole has been dimmed. think, by the
actions Of the explorers themselves, to
say nothing of their respective friends.
The Buffalo Bill-like entrance of Cook
into Copenhagen would suggest press
