IF You Like
PERFUME
There Are unusual Ways OF Using 1t
That Add TO Its Charm.
o YOU like perfume?

no YOU like perfume:
There are some persons that
don't. you know. Louis XIV, II
IS said. used so much of IL in his
youth that he grew TO have an anti
pathy for IL. and would not brook its
use in those about him at times.
Other people outgrow an early liking
for IL. Stiil other persons never like
IL. IL seems overpowering and heavy
10 them. They even like the heavy
scented flowers. some of them. like
tuberoses and honeysuckle. But let
that scent come from bottle and II
makes them faint.
Well. IL you like perfume In these
DAYS you are indeed fortunate, for
never before have there been such
charming containers for il and ways
OF using it. The very bottles Ii
comes in are a delight. They are
made of coiored glass, sometimes OF
frosted glass. through which the bril-
liant color of the perfume, green or
amber, red or violet. fiickers delight
fully. They are made of pottery and
they are made of enamel. Some OF
the distinctive French perfume
makers put their product in charm
ing bottles. with little Characteristic
marks. One uses shoppers forrned
of a bunch OF colored glass flowers.
Another always puts his bottles in
charming little silk-covered boxes,
with lids held in place with tiny bone
slides
So whichever way you turn thera
IS something individual in the per-
fumes you see--in their containers,
that rs And good many women
spend a small fortune each year, not
90 much because they have a taste
for the expensive perfumes, but be-
cause they are allured by the con-
tainers of the expensive perfume.
IL is nothing new TO go in for one
kind OF scent. in perfume and toilet
water. face powder. body powder and
sachet The woman who follows this
fad often has one Of those charming
little perfume burners that first came
TO US q couple of seasons ago from
Poiret-small boudoir lamps. lighted
by electricity. with a little cup in the
top wherein few drops of perfume
are put to be dried and disseminated
by the heat from the electric bulb.
There are pretty perfume holders
for the wall-little bits of fiIlagreed
holders to hang there. or else holders
OF pottery, with perforated sides
through which the scent of the per-
fume comes.
And there are besides Egyptian
perfume balls OF silver lagree that
are hung about the neck or carried
about on the, finger.

With Plain and
Figured Walls

TT YOU are planning any redec-
Grating of the walls of your rooms,
just remember this: that you can
gain very interesting effects if you
take into account the decorative value
of plain and figured walls in two ad-
1acent rooms.
For instance: Suppose you have
opening from your large living room
little music room. On the living
room walls. in spite of the fact that
the room is large. you may choose
plain surface, say in gray. In the
little room, which will stand a figured
wall, as il is adjacent To the big room
and as anyway you don't necessarily
wish to increase its apparent size,
you can use a small figure, combin-
ing the ground color of the living
room with perhaps mauve and sage
green.
Or, for another example, the din
ing room opens from the living room.
The living room is papered in tan
grass cloth. The dining room will
present charming and harmonious
contrast il a tapestry paper is used
around the top Of the walls
Then there is the big hall with two
or three rooms opening from 1t.
That gives one another chance to
combine plain and figured walls In
adjacent rooms to good advantage.
just keep the idea in mind. 1t is a
good one for decoration.

WITHOUT A MAID.

More and more. as a nation, are

country are difIicult to find, and their

day-when we were a little ashamed
Of our msidless state. And then,
often. rather than admit the fact that
we cooked and served dinner our
selves. We refrained from having any
company for dinner. Doubtless there

to have decorative shop windows, we
have to talk about something. and II
is a time-honored prerogatiye of ours
to wonder In shocked tones what We
are all coming toi So thS usual pic
turesque but impossible bathing APP
parel all answers its own excusable
ends
But this year. IL you have had your
eyes open. you will notice that most
of the bathing things that have been
shown are really quite wearablc.
They are picturesque They are un-
usual and interesting But they are
after all things that our friends will
wear-not merely things that few
sensation-seekinE girls at { h e
crowded beaches will don for pub
iicity's sake.
For one thing. there are the bath
ing frocks of black satin embroidered
in colored wool. They are really
exceedingly smart, and they are at
the same time quite practicable and
very becoming.

the modesty of the bathing suit or
whether it is just a commentary on
the fact that we are stili addicted TO
the negligible street frock. These
crepe de chine bathing dresses are
especially pretty in gray.
Gingham bathing suits are another
novelty, and they are perfectly suit
able for the warmer beaches. One
could even wear them whore 1t js
colder IL one wore tights under them.
There are all sorts of beach Access
sories this year. Japanese paper
parasois are often used, and then
there are sets consisting of cushions,
bathing bags and parasois- The
cushions are trimmed with colored
rubber fringe, to keep them in the
picture. and the same trimming is
used on bag and parasoI.

Daylight Saving

But one OF the reasonable o5lec

For. she says, the dinner that IN

o'clock. There is an hour more OF

black and white striped skirt Then
there are the bright co1ored coats
worn with white skirts, of flannel or
crepe de chine or some one of the
unusual silk weayes that abound in
the shops.
Dotted swiss hats are made over

white dotted swiss.
Very attractive handbags are made
of silk with little landscapes and
groups of figures made of painted
bone used as trimming. These are
especially interesting II the founda-
tion OF the bag is OF plain dark
silk.
Some new blouses of Georgette
have wide bands around the lower
edge-they are of the slop-oyer
style-and at the neck and sleeve
edges, OF crochetted wool. They are
really very effective. The crochet is
done in bright but harmonious coiors
and the whole effect Ia very good.
Many frocks show belts running
through series OF rings OF some
