PERFUME Is COMING BACK.
Toilet Accessory Of Cave Woman-Sh
Extracted It from Flowers.

Perfume, so essential to my lady's tot
let, which IN many cases was entirely
dispensed with during the war, is now
coming again into vogue more than ever,
and in Paris, London and New York per.
tune dealers have III preparation many
new and exquisite perfumes
The making of perfume is almost as
old as the world itself, for even the cave
woman in her crude way found means to
extract the perfume from flowers which
she found growing near her humble abode
1t was in Persia, however, that per-
fume making received its first real deyel-
opment. Later the priests in Egypt, who
were the sole repositories of science in
ancient days, and who knew the secret
of aromatic substances devoted a great
deal of time to the manufacture of per-
tune. These perfumes acquired great cell
! ebrity, especially those made in AlexaD
dria. They were at first reserved for re.
ligous rites and ceremonies only but sub.
sequently became of current use among
the wealthy classes
Cleopatra was an artist in the use of
perfumes and each room in her palace had
its own individual perfume. During ban.
quets the perfume was diffused through
The Israelites, during their soiourn in
Egypt, adopted the use of aromatic sub.
stances primarily for religious purposes,
and afterward for personal use. The
Greeks, who loved elegance, were very
| iond of perfumes, and they taught the Sc
! cret of manufacture to the Romans. In
| the days of their decadenee the Romans
1 committed thousand follies with per,
/ fumes, and they went so far as to scent
/ the coats of their dogs
| The women of Rome used it profusely
and Poppaea Amounted her features with
paste formed of barley -four diluted with
perfumed oils. The Romans were not
content to use merely the perfumes Of
the orient-aloes, myrrh, incense and nard
they also made perfumes similar to those
of the present day-scents of lilies, Law
ender, roses and thyme.
In the Middle Ages the Arabs, Vene
tians, Genoese and Florentines became IA
nous for their preparation of sweet-smell
ing essences. France did not become ac
quainted with perfume until after the
