NEWEST THING in PERFUMES.
American Beauty Sachet Has Caught
Fancy of Fashion.

Each year sees new fashion in per
fume The winter of 1909 will give to
the American Beauty the apple Of sue
cess.
This is the new perfume, and the
ultra-fashionable thing of the day is to
have it in sachet or a drop of it for
your clothes or cake of soap to use
on special occasions.
The Americans have taken it up not
only with patriotism but enthusiasm.
Heretofore they have always used the
French perfumes under French names.
The sachets of this sell from Is
cents up and are confined in an envel-
ope of American Beauty satin. The
odOr is subtle and lasting.
Only a small bottle of the essence is
needed, as a drop is enough for a
gown. The smart women put a drop
or two on a piece of gauze or cotton
and tuck it away in the evening gown.
One drop of it put on blouse per
fumes it as though it had been put
away in pot-pourri of American Beau
ty rose leaves.

CONSERVATION.

The petty squabbles over matters of
small consequences, In which reaction
aries in the house and senate have
sought to discredit the Roosevelt adj
ministration, will soon pass out of men S
minds. The names of some of the
statesmen prominent in those squabbles
will soon appear on the list of obscure
politicians out of a job, but the great
movement for the conservation of our
national resources inaugurated by the
President is destined to become one of
the significant incidents of our national
history.
The program of constructive legisla-
ton suggested by the report of the con-
servation commission and limited at
rather than outlined in President Roose-
velt's latest message is almost bewild-
eringly vast and far-reaching in it
scope. No nation in all the worlds his
tory has ever gone consciously to work
at the task Of conserving and develop
ing its natural resources on any such
comprehensive plan. There have been
many striking incidents in the public
career of Theodore Roosevelt, the siren
uous President, but it is likely that his
fame will live in history as the origina-
tor of this systematic movement for
national conservation.
