The scents are jasmine, gardenia,
sweet pea, lily-o -the-valley and car
nation.
Another adorable small bottle
OF carnation perfume that would be
nice to tuck inside Of more pre-
tentious gift, like a handbag, gloves
or scarf. is an imported French essence
that comes in a box like miniature
container Of talcum powder. There's S
splendid busting powder that We
know Of, too, that is strongly scented
with carnation
no YOU remember that passage
- in the opening chapters of Gone
With the Wind" wherein is described
Scarlet OHaras feeling Of awe and
admiration for her mother? It says
that Scarlet never failed to feel the
magic Of her mothers touch, and to
sense the faint fragrance Of lemon
verbena sachet that came from her
rustling silk dress. That quaint old
fashioned fragrance from the garden
that you get by pinching the pungent
leaves Of the Towering verbena, no
doubt has found an answering echo
of delight in the minds OF many
readers
In fact, it so caught the fancy of
the buyer of perfumes in one of our
shops that he Immediately began
scouting the country to find lemon
verbena sachet, for 1t was new to him.
After many unsuccessful efforts, he
finally succeeded in locating such a
sachet, among the products of one Of
the Oldest firms of English manu-
facturers Of toiletries; so old, in fact,
that it might well have been the very
firm from which the original lemon
verbena sachet was sent to America
from England and found its way to
the OHara plantation
This verbena sachet is a delightful
thought for Mothers day and you
might even care to make up little
silk bags, flll them with cotton and
sprinkle on the pungent powder, as
they did so long ago. 1t comes in
small bottles at most moderate
price-and it's different!
