agreeable article for the bathroom Or

couraging insect life. Flies and mosQui-
toes avoid a person whose skin has been
rubbed with lavender oil, and . few drops
placed in the corners Of the bathroom
have been known to stop the inroAd Of
reaches. 1t makes a most comforting
massage for a skin inclined to DO ifrfta-
BILE after y hot bath. Bits Of absorbent
cotton, impregnated with oil Of lavender
and placed among underclothes, will keep
them beautifully fragrant, and the dried
blossoms placed between the piles OF

Lavender water Is q toilet article much
favored by men Of the Anglo Saxon race
for the reason that its use does not car
ry the reproach Of effeminacy that seems
to hang about the heavier, more cloytng
odors Of jasmine, rose and lilac.
One Of the sweetest and most useful
odors known to commerce comes from
the tuberose. but. unfortunately. the sup

points in the art Of perfume making: the

In California flowers. especially roses

to large size, giving forth a plentitude of
odors. A great deal Of capital has been
invested in this part Of the world start
ing gardens for the cultivation of per-
fume-yielding blossoms, but thus far in
vain. Whether the French and the Bull
garians hold the secret Of the manufac-
turing Of the essential oils. or whether
certain places are so peculiarly favored
by nature that 1t is impossible to re-
produce them, it is difficult to say: any
way. since perfume making became a
commerce in Europe the center of the in

Action Of the Sun on Flowers.
It has been discovered by chemists that
the rays OF the sun bring out the odori-
ferrous qualities valuable for perfume
making. In Grasse and its neighborhood
not only does the sun provide a steady
warmth for a large number OF months
of the year, but it is reflected back by
the surrounding mountains. These same
hills form complete shelter from storm
and wind and the air Is singularly pure
and free from dust. These climatic and
geographical advantages are not repro
duced in any other part of the world.

but very compact and singularly sweet.

anxious to send some more novel
Christmas greeting than that OF a let

occurred to him to make little sketch
symbolizing the spirit of the season.
The sketch depicted in its center q
family party gathered around the
Christmas dinner table raising glasses
to the health Of absent friends. I'm.
derneath were the words "A Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year to
you" while on each side was a small
err sketch representing an act of be-
nevolence. Mr.. Dobson's card so
pleased its recipient that the following
year he designed another card, Of
which he sent Autographed copies to
a large circle of friends. Other artists
followed his example. and the circle
sending out Christmas cards grew
wider and wider until an euterprising
printer saw there was money In the
business. and within few years from
its birth the Christmas card was to be
seen In hundreds Of shop windows.

When the war tax" was passed. its
proponents didn't dare charge that all

probably engendered by recollection
that customs revenues fell off-under

February (before there was the tiniest
speck of war cloud in sight anywhere)
as they did in August. They spoke
about the August record-snd called
for war tax" But they didn't say
word about the February record.

thought:

A little tree as small as she, Just suit

Oh, glad and proud the baby fir, amid
it's brethren tall,
To be thus chosen and singled out, the
first among them all!
He stretched his fragrant branches; his
little heart beat fast;
He was real Christmas tree-he had
his wish at last.
One large and shining apple, with
cheeks of ruddy gold;
Six tapers and tiny doll were all that
he could hold.
The baby laughed, the baby crowed, to
see the tapers bright;
The forest baby felt the Joy and shared
in the delight.
And when at last the tapers died and
when the baby slept
The little fir, in silent night, patient
vigil kept.
Though scorched and brown its needles
were, il had no heart to grieve.
