your shopping difficulties.
April showers for April brides
demand ever new ideas. A clever
friend of mine recently gave for
bride-to-be vanity shower.
One end of the solarium was ar
ranged to resemble a toilet goods
counter while sister of the
hostess, dressed to represent a
bottle OF perfume Ia much admir-
ed fancy dress costume of for
mer days., demonstrated the vir.
tues OF the perfumes and powders,
bath-salts, rouge, lip-stick and
other vanities displayed. The
guest of honor as she admired
each vanity was allowed to take
sample of the same. wrapped
in pale pink tissue paper and
gold cord, with the compliments
OF the hostess and guests. Among
the gifts was a large can of
Florient talcum powder, for the
bride to pack in her vacation kit,
that cost only 81. A box of
lemon soap at 25c cake, and
favors for the guests as well as
for the bride. were tiny gold fill
greed corked bottles of imported
perfumes costing rs cents. The
contents OF the dainty bottles
would be sufficient for weeks
use. Bath salts Of English and
French manufacture in varying
sizes, pleased the bride. and she
would have been amazed had she
known that the delicately scented
salts had cost the giver soc to
81 so. An oblong blue satin box.
when opened revealed gold plated
boxes of powder and rouge and a
lip.stick. AS refill cakes of pow
der and rouge may be purchased
for few cents, $425 is not an
unreasonable price, for this dainty
necessity.
In some OF the evening gowns
a matching fan is featured.
4 gift that attracted much at
tention in the vanity shower was
q "Florsol," which proves to be,
on investiga ton, a cup, that may
be placed over an electric light
fitting under the shade. In this
unseen cup is placed perfume
that evaporates with the heat
from the bulb. filling the room
with a delightful fragrance. The
bottle of perfume and the recep-
tacle sell for $3.50.
