EXPENSIVE soaps dropped out Of
the depression budget along with
buffers and upstairs maids. But once
again these little luxuries are being
indulged in with semblance of the
old fervor. A noted firm is encourag-
ing luxury revival with an entiring
offer Of four cakes of their famous
toilet soap at $1.00 instead of three
cakes as formerly. This more allure
per dollar" offered is further increased
by an extra dash of perfume added to
the compound, and even the package
has been glorified as you will see
above. The smart black and gold box
contains four tiers of soap
There is a trio of delightful fra
grance-Fougere in soft, dull green;
Lilac in shade true to the fragrance
and Lavender in a creamy tone. The
soaps are unwrapped so that women
can fully persuade their noses before
buying. The soap is grained so fine
as to have a perfectly smooth, mat
surface and its lather is a delicate
froth of gossamer bubbles. These
make marvellous gift boxes and are
also the hostess choice when she Is
expecting house guests.
IF YOU are fond Of lilacs-and who
can resist them in the Springtime
you will love an English lilac per-
fume for your new Spring bag. This
comes in an attractive 2-dram flacon
with metal cap to prevent leakage.
The bottle is fiat and compact, so that
you might easily slip it in your eve
ming bag if you wish. This is ex-
elusive with one shop and is $2.50
in the purse size.
As to f1ngertips, you will find that
they are favoring the three RS"
these days and making their appear
ance in rust, ruby and rose shades
of polish. These three are all that
are needed for complete polish
wardrobe for flngertips this season.
Rust, smartest of the new Spring
polishes, takes care of anything you
wear in suntan, including your COM
plexion. All the colors that have yell
low in them, including the greens,
brown, orange-red and London tan,
may use this rust shade of polish.
For the colors that don't warm up
to yellow-fuchsia, for instance-stick
to rose and ruby polish. Ruby is
dramatic with black and white and
rose is the polish of polishes for all
the pastels. The new rust has this
advantage, 1t produces two effects
from the same bottle. One coat gives
the nails subtle peach-bloom tone,
perfect answer to the color question
for conservative moments. Then,
when the glamour hour strikes, add
second coat over the first, for a
bright, sparkling effect. So much
easier than beginning all over again
with q second manicure.
