Perfume in Cakes.

The latest luxury for the woman
who likes a faint fragrance of sweet
ness about all her belongings is the
cake of perfume which may be tossed
among lingerie or laces without the
trouble of sewing sachet powder up
in cotton batting and silk pads. These
cakes of perfume are put up attrac-
lively, and when the perfume fails
as all perfumes do when exposed to
the air-the surface of the cake may
be scratched and new surface of
sweetness exposed. These cakes OF
perfume are not by any means mex
pensive, a small size costing almost
81, but the perfume is dainty and re-
fined and by scraping the surface oc-
casionally the cake may be used SONS
time.
