NEW SCENTS
COME WITH
NEW MODES
And Women Change
Their Favorite Per-
fume As They Change
Manner of Couture.

IT Is the pleasant a~ssooia-
l. tons that come with sweet
perfumes as well as the direct
sensuous pleasure that comes
from them that make them
agreeable. We cannot help
but like those scents that re-
mind us OF fresh spring days,
sunshine, summer breezes
and lovely gardens.
As soon as any perfume be
comes associated in my mind
with unpleasant ideas. then
no matter how sweet il NAV
be it loses charm wish to
have no more to do with il
until the unpleasant associa-
tons have faded away.
Ii j. for this reason that
fashions in perfumes come
and GO.
AS soon as any particular
scent becomes over-popular and
too widely used. the discriminate
ing woman will have none OF IL.
Because 10 herself and TO her
associates II will no longer sug.
gest sparkling fountains and
fresh sunshine or summer breezes
on starlight nights or anything OF
the sOrt-but over-heated rooms
where women stop 10 prink be-
fore luncheon or afternoon tea.
or dress rehearsals at the last
charity theatricals.
Makers Of perfumes are. OF
course. ware OF this fact, and
that is why they are all the time
giving Is new perfumes that NAV
still bring up all the pleasant as
sociatiOns without any OF those
less pleasant ones that are
gained by too long usage. One
reason why the very expensive
perfume is worth while il YOU
can possibly afford il is in the
very fact that IL is expensive and
therefore not IN common use.
Sometimes a quite inexpensive
perfume not in general use has
the same advantage.
Faint Scents Ruled
In Victorian days there was a
feeling among many conservative
women here as well as in Eng
land that the only perfume a
fastidious woman might use was
the faint aroma OF lavendar water
or eau de cologne: and this was
because the stronger perfumes
had acquired unfavorable associa-
ton through the ~overlavish way
that they had been used by wo-
men Of less fastidiOus taste.
And even eau de cologne may
have an unfavorable association
with some persons because of the
Old-fashioned habit Of using ii a.
an external application for head.
ache.

Care For Shoes To
Keep Them in Order

Isn't one OF the most vexing
problems YOU have 10 solve in
putting your possessions in or
der. this question Of where you
can put your shoes? One almost
envies the person with only one
pair Of shoes for then there would
be no problem al all. But OF
course there Is very poor econ
omy in having only a single pair
Of shoes at a time. or even two
or three pairs. For economy's
sake. If for no other. you should
have several pairs in use at the
same time. IL j. a fact that can
not be gainsaid that two pairs Of
shoes il worn alternately last
longer than two pairs when one
Is worn out before the other has
been worn al all.
The life Of a shoe depends on
the way ID is kept when not in
use almost as much as on the
way ID Is worn. Shoes should al
ways be cleaned before they are
put away. OF course. YOU want
to do this if you have 10 keep
shoes in your clothes closet. for
the idea Of taking dirt from the
street In a closet is renulsive
enough. Moreover. il mud and
CRIME remain on shoes they mar
and wear ont the shoes. II
damp. shoes should be thoroughly
dried on shoe-trees before they are
put away. n YOU 40 not have
shoe-trees for all your shoes YOU
should stun them with papers
when not in use. This ~ espe-
cially true Of light slippers that
may easily be pressed out of
shape.
