Tale creation.

The dainty Butterfly fragrance is the orig
ination of Babcock-creator also of that
masterpiece of the perfumer's art, Babcock's
Corylopsis, a scent elusively, enchantingly
Oriental, yet so delicate so distinctive that in
generation it has never been successfully imi-
tated-nor has Its widespread popularity waned.
Butterfly is veritably an artistic evolution. 1t
is the final achievement Of years of painstakingly
adjusting combinations Of certain rare essences
prepared for private patrons and limited public
sale. 1t is the expression of the persistence Of
genius under guidance of artistic inspiration.
Butterfly is memorable, exquisitely elusive,
lasting perfectly merging with and enhancing
feminine charm.
Butterfly is the greatest triumph of the house
Of Babcock- for decades unexcelled in creating
adjuncts to the arts Of adornment Of American
women.
