T r is the pleasant associations that
come with sweet perfumes as we'll
as the direct sensuous pleasure
that comes from them that make
them agreeable. We cannot help
but like those scents that remind us Of
fresh Spring days. sunshine. Summer
breezes and lovely gardens.
AS soon as any perfume becomes as
ISOLATED In my mind with unpleasant
ideas, then no matter how sweet 1t
may be 1t loses charm-I wish TO have
no more TO do with 1t until the un-
pleasant associations have faded away.
1t is for this reason that fashions in
perfumes come and go.
As soon as any particular scent be-
comes overpopular and too widely used
the discriminating woman will have
none of 1t. Because TO herself and to
her associates 1t win no longer suggest
sparkling fountains and fresh sunshine,
or Summer bTeeZes on starlight nights
or anything Of the sort--but over
heated, crowded theaters, hotel dressing
rooms where women stop to prink before
luncheon or afternoon tea. or dress re-
hearsals at the last charity theatricals.
Makers Of perfumes are, OF course,
aware Of this fact. and that Is why they
are all the time giving US new perfumes
that nav stili bring up all the pleasant
associations without any OF those less
pleasant ones that are gained by too
long usage One reason why the very
expensive perfume Is worth while II you
can possibly afford II Is In the very fact
that 1t Is expensive and therefore not in
common use. Sometimes quite mex
pensive perfume not III general use has
the same advantage.
In Victorian days there was feeling
among many conservative women mere
as well as In England that the only peHc
fume a fastidious woman might use was
the faint aroma Of lavender water or
eau de cologne: and this was because
the stronger perfumes had acquired un~
favorable association through the over
lavish way that they had been used by
women OF less fastidi0us taste.
And even eau de cologne may have
an unfavorable association with some
persons because of the old~fashioned
habit Of using II as an external appli-

Test for Warm Weather Wardrobe

The test Of the pudding is in the eat
ing, not in the list of ingredients it con-
tains; and so the test of the wardrobe
Is in the wearing. not in a mere sum-
mary Of frocks. wraps. hats and access
sories. Readers so often write asking
for advice about buying clothes. They
want to know what to buy and whether
they can get along on two new hats or
whether they should have three. Not
knowing what these readers have on
hand and not having an idea of what
they can spend. the questions are hard
to answer with the assurance of giving
any real help. though / confess that
always like to get these letters and do
what can to help.
Now / am suggesting that you test
your wardrobe with the following ques-
tionS. II you can answer yes TO all or
most OF them then your wardrobe is a
good one. even If you haven't many new
things and haven't spent much for your
clothes.
Have you an adequate rainy-day
cquipment-some sort Of waterproof
wrap, rubbers or waterproof shoes and
an umbrella?
Have you an appropriate costume for
country walks and picnics? Low or

that you may wear over It?
Have you an inconspicuous thin frock
suitable for church or street wear. with
hat and shoes that may be worn appro-
priately with it?
Have you a number OF washable sill:

genre that may be worn for mornings

High Blood Pressure.

MY father had severe shock a

protein diet, which, the doctors ex-
planned to us, meant no cheese, eggs,
fish or meat While in the hospital

Consistent high blood pressure may
be caused by many things-prolonged

that a too high protein diet may be
