In the good old times the use of per-
fumes was originated to counteract
the offensive odors arising from burn
ing flesh which was being offered as a
sacrifice. For this reason incense was
always burned in. the temples, and
from that burning comes the literal
significance of the word incense, which
means Through the smoke"

classic. Lady Macbeth refers to "all
the perfumes of Arabia" in her sleep

cannot wash the smell Of Duncan's
blood from her hand.
While Arabia has most of the fame,
it is undoubtedly a fact that to Egypt
belongs most of the credit, for the art
of pertaining was practiced there to-
its fullest extent. Even the embalmed
dead were saturated with spices and
scents which have retained their de-
lightful aroma after thousands of
years. 1t was from old Egypt that the
Greeks and Romans learned the use
Of the still for extracting perfumes
from plants and flowers. To this Ro-
man love for perfumes no doubt as
much as to her own habits was due
the fact that Cleopatra's barge was so
