prize the gifts Of science to US

they give permanence to the
fleeing odors that enchant us in
summer gardens, and the mid
summer fragrance Of fields and
woods.
Many women and men consider
the absence Of all odor. stressing
absolute, scientific Cleanliness
more desirable than the use OF
perfume. Certainly no. perfNne

use Of perfume, II it is to prove

dainty and discriminating.
But the fact remains that; a
perfume delicate as the fragrance
of dream may be the final
touch Of perfection to a woman's
charm. The Importance Of the
right perfume rightly applied
cannot be overestimated. All
this takes brains as well as good
taste to achieve.
"A perfume for every mood"

advantage in enhancing indi-
