EARTHQUAKES AND PERFUME.
ROW Even Seismic Tremours Contrib
ute to the Cost of Livina.

Amid the general rise in the price of
neeessaries women are becoming pain
fully aware of the increase in the cost
OF one of their dearest luxuries-per-
fume. For years prices of the essen
tel oils, out of which the costlier per-
fumes are made, have been steadily
rising, and now for various local rea-
sons several have again taken big
jump forward
For example, bergamot, a base of
many perfumes and scented hair
washes. is now very costly, because OF
the Messina earthquake. THE berga
mot trees which grow around Messina
take three years TO become fruitful, "
remarked a perfurmer. 1.-THE earth
quake first directly destroyed many OF
the young trees. and in the second
place destroyed many indirectly by
causing their cultivation to be neg
lected This produced Il serious short

the price of altar of roses. which for
many years has been high is now UNI
precedented owing to Shortage of the
rose crop III Bulgaria, where much OF
it is made.
To great extent the result of this
costliness OF the essential oils is sim
ply to encourage the already great use
of the synthetic scents. which is SIM

roses is undistinguishable from tile

sweet pea was the great boom; today
everybody is buying lily of the valley,
and some really exquisite scent of this
kind is being produced, But these
whims for one thing and another are
passing fancies, due often to adver-
tisement campaigns. Many old-fash-
toned people still stick Loyalty to vio-
let. Eau de cologne and lavender
water are used not so much for per-
Tuning purposes as in washes and
baths.
80 far from declining, the use of
perfume has distinctly increased dur

opinion is that in some cases it has
increased to an offensive extent. In
