Five delightful fragrances- for carrying moods
ovhich are described in detail belOw.
-Sketched in '

time and place in mind, to be most
effective and satisfying. This often
means a lot of investigating and ask
ing the salespeople to let you get a
Whit OF the various kinds. They are
always glad to do this as they keep
sample bottles open just for this pur-
pose, so you don't have to trust to
luck and the outside appearance Of
the bottle.
The hand in the center holds a
new small f1acon to be carried in the
purse. The bottle itself is in the
shape of a miniature handbag! This
design Is as practical as it is novel,
for 1t permits fiat, slim bottle that
won't bulge an envelope bag and that
fits beautifully in the hand for use.
The golden ball top Is easy to man
age and fits tightly over the neck to
prevent leakage. You will love this
and may have 1t filled with your
favorite fragrance among the intrig-
ing ones put out by this firm. It makes
a charming bridge prize or birthday
remembrance and may be tucked in
side handbag for a more important
gift to add an extra touch of thought
fulness.
Another new perfume IS the one
in the very odd, low, streamlined bottle
with handsome stopper which comes
in roll-top shaped case of white and
gold. This perfume has q versatile
fragrance with q 'bitter-sweetness"
that is little hard to describe. It's
another one for you to investigate.
Introduced abroad last year, it is just
making its appearance in this coun-
try.
RELOW Is the very new and very
interesting Chinese perfume that
is the seasons offering Of one Of our
best liked perfumers. The story that
gives you the atmosphere of this new
est scent is SO delightful that we shall
quote part of it for you.
''The very soul of Shanghai is in
terpreted in this new fragrance that
haunts the past-warm, exquisite and
mysterious. The warmth of musky
undertones, the exquisite delicacy and
perfection that characterized the Chi
nese temperament, the mystery sur
rounding the suggestion Of strange
land-all combine to create perfume
truly and typically Oriental. How
ever, 1t does not reflect so much of
the bizarre and exotic SO often asso-
ciated with the Orient as it does q
mood of phantasy and enraptured
senses. It is a medley of the new and
the old, even as the city itself. It is q
fragrance modernized in appeal but
still retentive of the charm and love-
illness of old China.
'It is fittingly presented in a dacon
inspired by bronze urn from q very
early Chinese era. Square-cut crys-
tai handles on either side of the nacon
accentuate its horizontal lines. It
Is set on a gold-toned dais over q
larger black-covered base" And not
only is the container so beautiful but
the perfume Is perfectly delicious, and
you may get 1t in small dram sizes
If the larger one proves bit too ex-
pensivel
For festive evenings, now that the
theatrical and musical season Is upon
us, there Is a perfume appropriately
called musical echo," for its fra
GRANGE is closely aligned with the
delicacy and disturbing loveliness Of a
distantly played nocturne and Is
as completely captivating.
A bit Of this scent patted on the
back Of the neck Is particularly eff
fective. It can be especially appre-
ciated when the evening wrap Is
| dropped of the shoulders and its
aroma hovers about you. Thus the
gown Is left untouched for another
perfume mood. This comes In q
spherical nacon with q little gold-leat
knob.
