FLOWERS are Springs tribute
to winter-weary mankind, a re-
newal of joyful color and fresh
garden odeurs. And how right it is
that the great Spring festival of
Easter is SO fhtingly celebrated
with a profusion of fresh blooms.
For Easter giving, many have
found that in addition to floral
offerings a further reminder of this
Springtime token of affection and
esteem can be expressed most ap-
propriately by delightful bottled
fragrances.
Rare indeed, is the woman, who
does not thrill to a gift that holds
imprisoned the scent of thousands
Of tiny blossoms that once bright
ened the sunny countryside of pic
turesque parts of the world. Bull
garian rose, Parma violet, English
lavender, these fragrances and I'M
told others are skilfully blended
by master perfumers SO that they
are able to carry their scented
glory to appreciative women the
world over.
Perfumes are much more than
subtle enhancement of woman's
charm. Actually, when they are
chosen with due consideration to
the personality of the wearer, fra
grances prove stimulating to the
senses and bring renewed vitality.
Rich, heavy perfumes are admir-
ably suited to the so-called exotic
type of woman and should be shun-
ned by those whose feelings and
manner border on the conservative.
But delicate floral ordeurs can be
worn with great charm, as well as
personal satisfaction by all women.
During the last year we have
seen a great revival of all those
delicate floral perfumes that were
the delight of discriminating wo-
men during that famous "Mauve
Decade" when cartwheel hats,
mountaineering bouffant skirts
and cascades of frills denoted high
fashion. Our fashions today reflect
the same firmly trend, but with be-
coming and sensible modification,
and the popular perfumes are in
accord with this feminine interpre-
tation of the mode.

ing helps to retain moisture within

@NCE again we find that flow
~ ers are a matter Of great i'm
portance with the great millinery
houses both at home and abroad.
1t seems that the day of the
perky bow, the clipped wing and
the tip-tilted brim with many
sharp corners, has given way to a
thoroughly feminine mode that
uses flowers lavisly and also de-
mands that wells be used as COM
bination trimming and fragile
screen for the eyes.
In spite of the many turbans and
extremely small hats that herald
the advent of Spring the newest
hats also spread out in the be-
coming "cartwheel," shape. One
thing is certain, regardless of size,
all hats are showing touches Of
flowers. Bunches of brightly color
ed blossoms are usually conferred
on the front of small hats. On large
hats, flowers are poised on the top
of the crown introducing a most
prominent color note.
Shiny straws, sleek satins and
smooth textured braids are high
fashion notes, with brims cut up
high in the back and on one side to
permit the showing Of this seasons
elaborate coiffures. For once there
can be no complaint that hats have
been designed with no thought as
to their adaptation to modern hair
dressing. Curls, waves, and rolls
will have every opportunity to dis
play their intricate beauty, regard
less of the size of the hat worn
above them.
For the most part, the color
treatment on hats is confined to
flower ornamentation Dark colors,
such as the new tones Of wine and
off-purple, form the body Of smart
chapeaux, with navy blue and
black as always the perennial fav-
orites.

the case when soaring is done,
thereby forcing the juices into the
roast pan, where an attempt is
made, by basting, to return them
to the roast. The roasting period
is identical, whether low or high
temperature is used, but the former
method is productive of better re-
suits. Fowl and meats also brown
