Kennebunk claims the palm as the
original cold storage proposition. Re
Gently while carpenters were tearing
away a partition in the summer home
there. of Lawyer John G. Smith OF
Saoo, they came upon the skeleton OF
rooster AS the house was built
early In 1900 and had never been re
modelled before, there is no other ex-
PLANTATION than that this house had
contained poultry for Ill years. How
1t came there. of course will never be
known. No one remembers the roos
ter and no one is now anxious to
claim him, or claims to have lost a
rooster III years ago. 1t is presum-
ed that when the ho"se was being
built the bird crawled in there to es-
cape use in the Portland Argus.

bathed with my favorite perfume, which
l find very restful. and which is said to
be an excellent way to erase the slight
lines of fatigue or seeplessness which
show around the eyes.
Very strong odors are apt to make one
tired. especially II the odor is too sweet.
and a heavy, perfume is not good for the
voice, so that singers usually taboo H.
The most delightful perfume is that
which is exhaled by a carefully scented
wardrobe rather than by a heavy applica-
ton of scent TO the handkerchief, or to
some part of the frock. All of my
clothes closets are lined with sachets
which look like thin satin quilts. Small
sachets are sewn TO the insides of my
petticoats, and wherever 1 have trim
ming. such as flowers, on my frocks,
these flowers have the natural odor which
is placed In their petals by the means
OF tiny sachets.
When you are very depressed or tired,
try this way of soothing your nerves:
Pour little Of your favorite perfume in
a small quantity OF warm water, saturate
a soft linen cloth with perfume and place
this over your face, while you lie down
in room where the air is fresh. To me
my favorite perfume is far more intoxi-
eating and celebrating than champagne,
and believe IT belongs TO the art OF
keeping young. as well as to a woman's
personal charm, to have her favorite odor
around her.

more than one, soon grow very tired

roses to vioiets, and then back to frezlas
or the faint and delightful odor of apple
blossoms according to my mood. No One
should ever mix perfumes. My old chem
list told me that, and the reason is that
most perfumes are not made of real flow
ers, but of chemicals. If your perfumes
were all distilled from flowers. the doors
would blend just as the perfumes in a

Tuning your wardrobe especially, not to

among my clothes. In my hats. for In
