The oils. being pure. are extremely
expensive. and half a dram would make
enough delicately perfumed water to

is not within the purse of an average
girl. but several may get the quantity,
divide the cost and the oil. and then
have scent enough for several months

chosen should be bought from any of

enough money should be paid for 1t

When purchasing the oil girl who
suuffs it expecting TO find the odor
sweet, will be disappointed, for it IS so

until the oil is reduced with alcohol
does the scent become fragrant. To
