Violet Perfume and How It Is Made

After the perfumed oil has been Sc
cured il must be dissolved with spirits.
The alcohol used in making perfumes
must be selected with care, and the
safest way is 10 buy the regular "co-
lOgne spirits" AS a rule. there should
be used about half as much alcohol as
there IS oil. 1t is an easy matter to
tell when enough alcohol has been
used. as the mixture will have a white
or clouded appearance as long as the
oil is Gndissolved. but viii be perfectly
clear when the oil is entirely digested
Never throw away the cloths used in
the processes. but place them In a jar
Of alcohol. leaving them there until the
oil that is in them has been digested.
The bottles containing the volatile oils
must be blackened or wrapped in black
paper and kept in q dark place until
ready Tor putting in the alcohol IL fl
is not convenient to use them at once.
All essences must be kept in tightly
stoppered bottles.

Hints For the
Summer Girl

THE first thing the summer girl looks
out for nowadays is comfort. She
used to sacrifice comfort to beauty. but
she has grown more sensible, and now
she realizes that the sacrifice is neither
necessary nor worth while. It begins
to dawn upon her that when she wears
light shoes to make her feet appear
small or takes an extra reef in her belt
to give her a Flora McFhmsey waist
her nose begins to get red and her face
to take on a most unbecofning purple
hue as though she were scheduled for
apoplexy: that If she wears skin tight
gloves her hands are daintily small IN
them so long as the gloves are strong
enough to stand the strain. but that
they stop the circulation. and. besides
making the skin red. make the
knuckles pop into undue and undesir-
, able prominence as sosn as the gloves
are removed.
! Similarly il used to be the summer
girls habit to run about bareheaded
and bare armed so she could acquire o
/ becoming tan that would be a guar
antee to her friends back home the.
she had been -summering. Suddenly
it began to dawn upon hex that tan
isn't becoming and that the sunburn
is mighty unpleasant. and she decided
that making a martyr OF herself is not
at all worth while.
So now she wears long. loose fabric
gloves that keep her hands and arms
as nice as they are in winter and pref
ty lightweight hats that protect not
only her hair from losing all its charm
ing gloss and color. but also her eyes
from becoming weak and watery. and
she realizes that IL there is one thing
above all others that detracts from
ones good looks IL is n combination OF
J watery eyes and faded hair. So she
takes particular care of her hair and
eyes. keeping them we'll shaded from
a too glaring sun. which fades the hail
as it would q piece of fabric.
