When churning butter it is

You can make delicious bread

Try adding a tablespoonful of

It will make 1t lather well.
II when making boiled starch,
you add about two spoonfuls of
kerosene, your clothes will be
glossy. and the starch won't

the iron takes all trace of the
kerosene away.

Another question the perfume shop
per asks is, (which perfume is appro-
nriate for my personality?" Then
some women will go on TO say that
they weigh SO much. are SO tall. and
like Pekinese as pets. First of all,
few women with personality are
aware of it, and those aware of it
are unaware OF the nature of their
personality. One must sense the ap-
propriate perfume just as one must
sense the meaning of music. Usually
the best, and so far as l know only
guide, Is to select a perfume which
suggests an association of ideas sim.
liar to these which ones person sug-
gests.
For example, a woman with almond
eyes. dark .skin and coloring would
suggest the East. Naturally, then, she
would select an Oriental perfume. A
blonde-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned
woman, would select a perfume sug-
gestive of flowers and sunlight The
dark -complexioned woman could use

haired woman. Some perfumers now
indicate the type to which an especial
perfume is suited, and so simplify a
bathing problem.
Women buy different perfumes for
different times of the day. different
moods, different costumes and so
forth. Fewer women are buying
flower scents, preferring intangible
subtle odors. There are still few
who buy the bottle rather than its
contents

The Sweet Truth.


Buying perfume is such personal
matter that suggestions or advice con
corning it are apt to meet with up
lifted eyebrows and expressions of
annoyance. However, a word in time
concerning perfume will save nine
when it is ill-advisedly bought There
fore the word is worth risking and
the sweet truth worth telling.
A few ''don'ts,' will help to clear the
way to better buys. Don't select a
perfume that is so weak that ones
person must be saturated with it to
secure a scent. One excellent point
TO bear in mind while buying is that
it is betterS to. buy a faint scent, or
soft fragrance, than a dominant odor,
however sweet 1t may be.
Some women have asked, how can
one ten whether a perfume is strong
or faint? One cannot tell by smelling
the stopper. the bottle ar the perfume
that has been applied to ones person.
The stopper and the bottle both con-
tain alcohol which has not dried, and
the result is a diffused odor. One
quickly becomes desensitivized to per-
fume on ones self.
If friend does not use the per.
fume, have q sample sprayed on a
kerchief. When the alcohol has dried
smell it and you will know its
strength in second Buying ex.

shoes. 1t is, Of course, impossible to
walk or stand gracefully If ones feet

BEAUTY CHATS
Well Shaped Arms.

A recent chat about shapely arms
brought me a lot of letters from
women who are dieting, but who
complain that though they have
taken off many pounds in weight
their arms remained too fat and they
did not seem able TO do anything
about it. The trouble is that the arms
grew very large when they were too
stout and the first result of losing
weight is bound TO be a great deal
of flabbiness, particularly on the
upper arms. Actually they may
measure less If you put tape round
them. but for some time the reduc-
ton will not show.
Exercise is the only thing that will
turn this fabby flesh into firm
muscle. The arms respond at once
to exercise, they show the good
effects of it, | think. more quickly
than any other part of the body IL
you can get out and play golf or
tennis your arms will show an i'm
provement at once, even though you
play atrociously. If you cannot do
this stand in your room before n
looking glass and do gymnastic eXer-
cises. One of the best is to pre-
tend you are rowing a boat, extend
ing the arms straight in front of you
with clenched firsts and then pulling
them back with tense muscles as
though you were pulling a heavy
weight.
If you can buy a regular exercis-
ing machine, or make one up for
yourself, the exercise would entail
more fun. All sports goods shops
or departments sell these and they
are not expensive for they consist
only of a board about feet high
to be screwed into the wall, with
two weights. some pulleys and ropes
to move the weights up and down.
The weights can be made lighter or
heavier as you choose and full direc-
tions come with the set. You can
make f1abby fat arms firm and
thinner, develop thin arms. straight
en- round shoulders, develop hollow
chest and develop the bust by using
these.
Rub the arms with ice to make the
skin firm.
