COMBINATION BOXES.

A little more pretentious are the boxes
containing several toilet articles. II is an
excellent idea to adopt a certain fra
GRANGE as the dominant odor for all ones
toilet necessities. This prevents any
likelihood OF q combination Of several diff
ferent odors. all of which may be pleas
ing in themselves, but which do not
blend well. The boxes, therefore. which
contain the extract, toilet water and pow
der, all exhalins the same fragrance,
make II possible 20 carry out the same
perfume scheme. This idea is developed
by many OF the importers as we'll as by
tho domestic manufacturers. A new cne
has a certain freshness and piquancy,
which the English generally insist upon,
and yet 1t Is very sweet and very per-
vading. The boxes of extract toilet
water and powder can be bought FOR s.
and for $275 when soap Is substituted
for the powder.
FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS.
Mention has already been made In these
columns OF the paper pompons OF powder
which a far famed house brought out
last year Tiny tissue envelopes contain
cotton powdered with the finest OF French
powder-just enough to use once and
throw away. There are few dozen Of
them in a box and they are the most
convenient things in the world to strew
on the dressing table when guests are
expected. or to place In the guest room.
The latest idea Us to cover the box with
silk. finishing the edges with gold gallon.
Boxes thus covered cost S3 each. but the
woman skilled with her needle could very
easily purchase the box Of pompons for
q 70 and cover 1t herself. -.,-

Velvet costumes are worn IN the morning

strenuous demand for velvet there are
numerous grades, ranging from cheap

these various grades Of ve!vets. For the
street black is the first choice, with sray

also appealing tones Of purple, blue, green
and rich tobacco browne which nave
many advocates. For the more dressy

DELICATE SHADES OF NET
For the more delicate type OF woman
there are dainty chinons and nets in the
softer coorngs. which are effective, it

BOUDOIR SECRETS

There is no more highly appreciated
gift for the woman who delights In all the
little niceties OF the toilet than one OF
perfume, or some other aid 70 beauty.
Many women who yearn for the per-
fumes, powders and creams which decor
ate the we'll supplied dressing table are
compelled TO spend their allowances on
the sterIer necessftes. and 1t Is only
through the thoughtfulness OF a friend
that they can enjoy :he luxuries.
In presenting a bottle Of perfume, how
ever, IL Is always advisable TO learn
whether the recipient prefers the floral or
the bouquet scent. The concentrated es-
sences are probably the most satisfactory
reproductions Of the floral odors. They
are compounded from the oil OF the fow-
ers. the very heart OF the blossom where
It's .weetness lies. and are distilled without
any alcohol The smallest drop from the
dropper IS all that n IL necessary 20 use
at q time When this fact is considered,

Of these floral extracts has increased so

of the more harmonious odors have been

In the bewiIderins array OF bouquet ex-
tracts, all more or less appeslinS, two new
ones arc making many friends. One seems
to possess the spirit OF eternal youth: it is
so refreshing, NO joyous and YET subtle
and tvading. II costs - for q large bottle
and s. for the smaller size. Its sister par
fume is reminiscent OF the Orient with
its spicy fragrance. IL Is particularly

women Is lacking.
