A woman is known by the kind of
perfume she uses.
When a discriminating and careful
woman gets 4 dress. she does not go
into a shop and pick n at random.
She selects a dress that is most be-
coming to her. So it is in perfume.
When q woman comes to me, /
study first of all her personality and
then her type of beauty. l go into
my laboratory and fix up a perfume
that is as distinctive to her as her own
self.
The first thing for a woman to do to
classify herself according to her type
of beauty-whether she belongs to
the rose type or the violet type or
some other. 1t is only a preliminary
step. The classification is carried still
further. A jack-rose woman is diff
ferent from a tearose or a white rose,
for instance.
The jack rose is the wholesome. at
tractive type, while the tea rose be-
longs more or less to the romantic
category. The white rose. on the
other hand, suggested physical attrac-
ton and consciousness. 1t would be a
mistake TO use tearose on a woman
belonging to the other type.
1t is this psychology study that is so
important in my art of pertaining
people.
The greatest thing about perfume
is it's ~elusiveness. This stimulates the
Imagination. One sometimes sudden
ly smells a perfume and it instantly
brings back some former association,
a chance acquaintance, perhaps. This
is the value of physical perfume. 1t
helps to stamp ones type of person.

Open Air Dance Held
By Girls Of W. C. C. S.

Under the auspices of the Girls
Division of the War Camp Communi-
ty Service an open air dance was held
last night in the new pavilion In
Hayes Park for men in uniform and
ex-service men. Owing to the fact
that the fence which will enclose the
dancing floor vas not UP, the regular
orchestra was not used. Crowds sur
rounded the dancing floor. with only
the faint strains of the victrola fur
nishing the music.
The pavilion was decorated with
little Japanese lanterns and an cleo
trio light in the center. Refresh
ments of ice cream were served by
the w. c. G. S. staff assisted by the
girls.
The dances viii be weekly affairs
to which all e%x-service mel are cor
daily invited. It is necessary,
though, for Identification. that each
| man phone ACT or call at the Girls
Division headquarters, 101 Smith
street, and obtain a card of admis-
sion. This caro- is carried throughout
the evening. A man in uniform needs
no card of admission. The next dance
will be held next Friday night.
