not go over the woods this time. He
only did that when he had his airship,

the woods on to DR.. POssum'S office.

Value Of Perfume

HAS ANYONE ever written a book on
perfumes? Surely as much imagina-
ton has gone into their making as
has ever been incorporated into the
greatest of masterpieces. Fancy
combining the delicate fragrances Of
flowers, or the aromatic oils of the
East, and making some rare and deli
cate new Odor. The ancient peoples
Of the East are supposed to have had
perfumes to arouse or allay passions,
perfumes to sOothe them to sleep, to
give sweet dreams, or wake them to
a desire for war and revenge.
The beauty of the Orient still goes
about exuding an almost oppressive
OdOr of perfume. but the refined wOm-
an to-day uses perfumes very spar
ingly. A good idea is to find and
adopt one sort, and keep to 1t, maxi
ing it almost a part of ones self.
However, one Odor after a time may
become tiresOme-then change to
some other sort. But if you are the
tall, dark type, keep to the Oriental
kinds, il you are fuffy-haired and
very vivacious, use only flower
scents.
The best way is to rub a little
toilet water into the pores right
after the bath, and on going out,
moisten the brows with drop or so
OF the extract. A good way is to
burn toilet water in tiny lamps with
a wick in ones closet, and so fill
ones clothes with the fragrance. So,
you go back to the original manner
OF peTfuming, for the word comes
from the Latin per, through and
IHTlHS smoke.
These little perfume-burners BY
the way, are very charming toys for
ones dresser, and excellent gifts for
a friend. All the shops carry them,
and they are not necessarily ex-
pensive.
