A FEW FORMULAS
FOR PERFUMES

In medieval times the art of psrfum-
cry was greatly studied. and. never, per
haps, has it been so much neglected as
at present. when even cultured people
may be made apparent at a distance by
the Coarsest and most vulgar scents.
Cedar has been employed ever since
the days OF solomon as a perfume, be-
ing used in sticks for burning. laid
among clothes in drawers to prevent
moth. and Distilled into a fragrant oil.
which IS used in the making of various
other perfumes. An excellent perfume
fo- the handkerchief may be made as
follows: Otto of cedar. one-fourth
ounce: reCtihed spirit, one pint; triple
esprit de rose, one ounce.
EGlantine or sweet briar yields a most
delicious perfume when fresh. but loses
its fragrance in manufacture. A good
imitation, however. may be obtained.
and good limitations of the odor of lime
tree blossom and Of white lilac are also
made, the delicacy of these rendering
them peculiarly charming.
Rose leaves may be preserved by
separating the petals carefully, and to
every pounds weight OF them rub in
one pound Of common salt. The salt
absOrbs the water from the petals, and
rapidly becomes brine. This reduces
the whole TO a pasty mass, which may
be slowed away. and will keep any length
of time without the fragrance being
seriously injured. Perfumers are often
glad to buy the leaves preserved thus.
A good rosewater may be made by
distilling twelve pounds OF picked roses
and two and one-half gallons OF water.
Two gallons are to be drawn OF, and
the result will be double distilled rose
water. as sold in the shops. This can,
Of course, only be dohe with proper
apparS- for distilling.
Nerbena perfume is delicious, the fol-
lowing being a simple formula: Restified
spirit, one pint; otto OF lemon grass,
three drachms; otto or lemon peel, two
ounces; otto Of orange peel, one-half
ounce. Let stand together for a few
hours, and after filtering isN ready for
use.
4 simple lavender perfume may be
made as follows: Spirit of wine, one
pint; otto Of French lavender, one-half
ounce; otto OF bergamot, one-half ounce;
otto Of cloves, one drachm.
Another simple and favorite perfume Is
made of one ounce of essence of berga-
mot in a pint OF spirit Of wine. These
should be filtered through blottinR paper
and a little magnesia added to Improve
their appearance. s.

THE QUESTION OF HATPINs.

There have been statements to the
effect that the new hats need no pins.
In spite OF these statements many
women have found il inexpedient to go
pinless. Moreover the new hats, which
are to be large, will doubtless need
pins. plain pin, to the way of think
ing Of many women, is always prefer
able 70 an elaborate one, and such pins
are those with plain little round pearl
beads that sell for about a dollar a
pair. They can be had in both black and
white, for either black or white hats.
And most Of the hats Of midsummer,
by the way, are either black or white.
