Perfumes of Mienonette and Jasmine
Mingle With Violet and Wistaria

For some time the more complicated
subtle perfumes have been in favor and
now. understand, there has been re-
vived interest in simple flower eX-

dare to be different from the aiority
The finest quality violet perfume ever
has remained favorite with a number
OF women Of taste, and now others have
adopted wistaria, neliotrope and jas

few years ago these simple flower
scents were considered quite unfashion-
ably unSophisticated. The most ex-

we're complicated combinations of many
fiowers-exotic. elaborate odors that
suggested unusual blossoms but did not
reveal any.
There are many women who never
liked these more complicated perfumes
who do like the simpler flower odors.
To them the smell of violets has a real
and definite appeal Perhaps because
the smell OF violetS recalls many a
lovely Spring though our woods violets
In so many parts of the country do not

and wistaria suggest lovely gardens.
There is something definite but dainty
about these native perfumes
And that is just what Is missing
about the more complicated scents that
have been favored for several seasons.
They have no direct appeal TO our
memories and experience. No wistaria-

Family Finance.

Servant g.rl was the term usually ap-
piled 2 generation ago to indicate the
woman employed to do general house.
work Sometimes she was called o
hired girl" In the country she Was
and still is sometimes simply referred
TO as help And this term implies
that she works with the housewife, eats
with the family and is in no sense OF
the word servant There was time
when people who kept but one maid
spoke of her as the cook" but now The
single houseworker is usually spoken
of simply as a maid--a term that seems
TO be as satisfactory to employer as to
emDloye.
Fortunately. the idea Of servitude in
connection with housework Is rapidly
fading Girls don't say that they are
going out To service" but that they
are going to do housework. and the fact
that their net incomes are usually as
good as, and frequently better than,
those OF girls who work In factories and
stores takes away largely from the
odium once attached 10 this sort OF

women and girls who might hold out
against the idea OF working as a full

tons whatever TO doing housework for
so much an hour for certain hours a
day.
Whether or not you can afford TO
keep a maid depends on more than the
mere size OF your income II depends on
the state of your own health. the size
OF your family. the age of your chill

JURY IS PROBLEM IN 0|L POOL CASE
Selection of Jurors Deemed Dim-

 The jurors. however. will be sub ject to questioning by the attorneys for the defendants and few probably will remain in the box.
 The trial is the first of the Julian Petroleum cases to be tried here.
 s. c. Lewis. former president of the oil company and Jacob Berman, friend and adviser. who were said to have engineered the pool transac- tions which caused the collapse of the oil company. were among those to be tried.

 A report of auditors who worked on the Julian books for almost a year will be presented to the jury. it was announced. F
 The audit was said to have shown that 4,s73,sos shares of spurious stock were issued. which was respon- sible for six groups believing they held control of the Julian corpora tion at the same time.
 The men are charged with con- spiracy to obtain money under false pretenses by the sale of invalid securities of the Julian Corporation and q violation of the state corpor- ate securities act.
 A jury probably will not be se- lected until the middle of next week. 1t was admitted by attorneys in the case.
 Eleven men originally were named In the indictments, but one, A. Swan- son. who was secretary of the Julian Corporations New York office. was not present.
 Swanson could not be extra dited as a defendant .he district attorneys office said. although it was believed he would come 10 Los Angeles aa a witness.

 The governors decision on the plea for a 3o-day stay of execution to permit examination of the two by psychiltrsts, is not expected until next week.
 The governor at the conclusion of ihe hearing did not say whether or not he would grant clemency. but Curing the argument he made sever- al dry remarks indicating he did not ubink very much of this psychosis stuff and this twilight zone busi- ness" Counsel had made much .a their argument of the assertion that both prisoners were so emotionally diseased that they were not fully responsible for their acts.
