MILADY'S PERFUMES.

Providence intended that We enjoy
delicate and exquisite colors, other
wise the flowers and the spring time
would not have perfumes added to
their loveliness.
The nations of antiquity appreciated
delicate scents; gifts of frankincense
and myrrh and bottles Of perfumed
ointment were greatly priced. The
burning of incense and the use of
sweet-smelling substances marked
both pagan and Hebrew rituals
The Greeks and Romans were fond
Of perfumes at feasts, funerals. in the
theaters. and for toilet purposes.
Among the Athenians the odor of the
violet was highly priced. The Arabs
also were very clever in the making
Of fragrant waters, and II was from
them that the Crusaders learned the
art which they brought back with
them to medieval Europe.
Perfumes may be divided into
two classes. First, those which are
natural, and, second. the artificial or
laboratory product
The natural perfumes are of ami
NAL or vegetable origin. Musk, civet
ambergris and castor are the leading
animal products.
The musk comes from the musk
deer and a similar substance from
the musk OK, muskrat and Florida
alligator. Civet is substance
secreted IN q pouch In the body of
little animals of the viverra civetta
and viverra zibetha family. The
animals are Gagged and the secretion
removed two or three times a week.
Ambergrfs Is disease secretion OF
the spermaceti whale and castor the
oily secretion of the beaver.
These substances are used TO give
stability or permanence to perfumes,
as the vegetable odors and oils are
more evanescent. We have many
vegetable perfumes, which we as
sociate with the odor Of familiar bios
SONS.
The artificial or synthetic perfumes
are chemical compounds which repro
duce natural odors. Some are very
true and fine because the real natural
substances are combined. In cheaper
perfumes the odors are merely
initiated.
Scents bid fair to be Of higher price
in future, or at least for some years
to come, owing to the war, for
France was the center of the in
dustry. and millions of pounds of
orange blossoms. roses, jasmine. vio-
lets, cassia and tuberoses were yearly
consumed in making the world per-
fumes.
Turkey. Bulgaria, and the Far East
concerned themselves more par
ticularly with the raising of the flow
ers and extracting the oil than with
blending and stabilizing.

Women As Regular Human Beings.
BY DOROTHY DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

The secret ambition of every woman
who has an inch Of backbone and a
tablespoonful Of brains is to be regard
ed as a regular human being instead
Of merely as a woman.
She is tired Of being thought of in
terms Of millinery as doll who must
be continually dressed UP. or as a toy
to be played with, Or as a clinging
vine that has to be propped up. What
she yearns for above all other earthly
things is to drop the question of her
sex. and to be considered and dealt
with as a fellow creature who has In
telligence and reason and capability,
and who Is thoroughly able to stand
alone on her two sturdy little feet.
This desire that, all women cherish
Is being realized now for the first time
by a class OF women who are being
officially recognized by their country
not as women, but as regular human
beings. For in the draft Of men to
defend their country those who have
dependent helpless wives are excused
from service, but not the men who
have married women who have been
self-supporting. Thus does the govern
ment recognize the woman who can
take care Of herself as a citizen in
stead of q female.
In spite of the sorrow and anxiety
that tore at her heart as she saw her
man go, 1t must have been q proud
moment for such woman 20 realize
that she was no drag upon her hus-
band, keeping him tied down to his
daily job when his soul lonsed to be
marching away with those who are
fighting the battle for the freedom of
the world; that she was no obstacle in
the path of his duty and that she
could give to her country a double gift,
for she could give it all that any
woman can give and the work Of
man besides.
When the government announced
that the husbands Of all women who
had been >self-supporting would not be
exempted from service in the army,
Il was as II the accolade Of knight
hood had been laid on the shoulder
of every woman who has ever stood
behind the counter or manipulated a
typewriter, or bent over . ledger. or
followed any trade or profsssioa By

Of horizon blue velours had Its high
collar and pockets edged with Beaver.
Her tiny hat OF white plun1age was
crowned with black velvet
A matron of Washington's ultra
exclusive cave dweller' set appeared
to the utmost advantage in a gown
Of chiffon velvet checked in two tones
OF gray. Her long stole OF moleskin
was lined with gray chiffon over flesh
col6red satin and supplemented by a
broad-brimmed hat of gray pannei
with a crowd of mole.
A wonderfully good looking woman
whose sirlish face beiled her wonder

authentic creation of Doeiliet Ia

velvet hat with a crown of horizon

ostrich plume in the same tone.
Under the sheltering palms in one
corner Of the Willard dining room was
q pretty actress who has one Of the

Dresden china beauty was accentuated
by frock Of lavendar velveteen with

Georgette. The skirt. instead of end
ing In common or garden hem, was
caught up under and fastened TO a

velvet trimmed with cunning white
balls completed an irresistible vision
which ought to have spelled kisfnet

true Parfsian chic by an orange hued
bird Of paradise plume.

which she earned her daily bread. Such
women were ennobled by their work,
recognized for all time as regular hu-
man beings who could do their share
OF the worlds work, who could take
their place as comrades and fighters
with men instead of being helpless
burdens on mems hands.
Certainly the need Of teaching
every girl some way by which she
can earn her own living has been en-
phasized by this war so that it does
not seem that even the dullest and
most short-sighted parents could fail
to see the importance Of It. Every
day we are seeing the impossible hap
pen, and the things that we thought
could never take place occur.
Fortunes are being swept away and
people who thought themselves rich
are being impoverished. Men are
being killed and maimed. Women
are being widowed and children or
phaned and those who had fondly
believed that they had strong men
to protect them from the hardships
Of life. suddenly find that they them
serves must protect and care for the
wrecks of men that war sends home
to them.
An Of the old feminine landmarks
OF safety are being swept away on
the tide Of blood that mandates the
world. oSothing will be the same for
women after the war as 1t was be-
fore. They will not even be able to
count on getting married, as the pre-
destined and ordinary way of q
woman's making her livelihood. be-
cause 30 many men will be killed
that there will not be enough men to
go around as husbands by many mill
Hons.
Therefore, It behooves all parents
to see to 1t that their girls are taught
some means Of earning their own
bread and butter. for It Is just as
certain that the young woman Of to-
morrow is going to have 10 support
herself as 1t IL that her brother is,
