Boudoir Caps

EVERY girl knows about the fasci-
nation of the dainty boudoir cap,
which is delightful alike for the con-
valescent and for the girl who likes
to look pretty in the privacy OF her
own room
one of the prettiest of the new caps

nice for the hope" chest of the en-
gagged girl.
Cut a circular piece of white net the
size desired, sixteen inches square, and
then the corners rounded oft is about

bon about seven-elghths of an inch
wide. The strips should be the same
distance apart on the net as the width
of the ribbon; in this instance seven
eighths of an inch. Tack the strips
with needle and thread at each end.

The correct way to remove the grit

The Art Of Using
Perfume

THE Frenchwoman is universally
acknowledged to possess the art OF
using perfume correctly, and a dainty,
elusive fragrance ~pervades the clothes
Of the we'll dressed woman. There Is
only Just the suggestion of perfume
about her, but It is this that makes one
crave for more. A strong. overpower-
Ing scent Is suggestive OF vulgarity.
and when choosing a perfume decide
upon one that conveys a subtle sug-
gestion rather than a strong scent.
AS every one knows, a good perfume
Is rather expensive, but it is better by
far not to use scent at all than to buy a
cheap one. Care should be taken over
the choice OF this. as one Of the secrets
of perfuming is to keep to one scent
alone and to use no other.
Scent SaChets.-Dainty lingeries can
be scented in many ways. The dried
petals of Glove pinks or any other flow
er %sprinkled between the layers of linen
impart a sweet fragrance. Scented
sachets are invaluable for perfuming
linen and dresses. and these can be
easily made at home. Make some
SINAI bags and All with wadding which
has been previously sprinkled with
the favorite perfume. This holds the
scent for several weeks and fresh wad-
ding can be easily inserted when the
perfume has departed. Powdered or;is
root affords another means for making
these sachets. Small bags of this hung
in the wardrobe and seWed In ths In
ings of dresses and coats inpart a
sweet perfume. Another way Of ob-
tanning the elusive fragrance Is 10

ers can be used as a means of perfum-
ing the clothes. Sprinkle a layer 81
cotton wool with powdered orris root
and fold over, then bind this round the
coat hanger and cover with pretty silk
or muslin. Some attractive gifts can
be fashioned in this way by the girl
with clever fingers. Gloves and hand
kerchiefs can be ~delicstely perfumed
by lining the boxes in which they ara
kept with scented wadding. This +,
another suggestion for the girl who
wishes to make pleasing presents fol
her friends.
