Der Of different fragrances, matching
in each case the flowers that decorate
them.
CONTINUING with the red-and-
white idea, there is such pretty
compact and lipstick combination in
ivory enamel with a circle of red jewell
tone chips spotting a place for initials
or a monogram. The lipstick is en-
circled with jewels also, and the
two in a suede finished gift box would
find favor with any young lady, we are
sure.
One Of your favorite makers of
beauty products is putting sachet
into red satin hearts and one of her
finest perfumes in gorgeous red satin
box, in honor of st. Valentine.
Another perfectly adorable valen-
tine suggestion is one of those min
iature dram fiacons of clear cut glass
with a red glass heart stopper. The
glowing red heart Is fascinating. These
little gems came to us from far-off
Czechoslovakia. We almost hesitate
to mention them, as they are disap-
pearing so rapidly, but perhaps you
will be in time to find few.
Some amusing ideas for party IA
vors were found at perfume counter.
One clownish little figure with a red
heart for hat and gold heart for a
collar grasps firmly a red tub con-
tanning a small bottle of perfume.
The perfume takes the place Of the
usual nut basket at the luncheon
table.
A miniature lamp with its base
filled with perfume is another novelty,
It has a little pleated paper shade
and comes nicely boxed. Perhaps you
prefer candles to lamps. If so, your
candle may be a small vial of per-
fume set into a pottery candlestick,
and all Of this for the small sum Of rs
cents.
Many of the shops have special val
entine boxes for small gifts like hand
kerchiefs and hosiery. We noticed
various types of white stationery in
bright red boxes used as a valentine
display, and thought it a splend'
suggestion, particularly suitable as a
gift from gentleman to his ladylove
in another city, from whom he expects
to receive frequent letters. You know
how a new box of note paper inspires
you to write immediately

THERE is something our mind
that has nothing to do with val
entines that we must tell you about
And now that we have had taste Of
real snow you may be more interested
in new sports cream that has just
made its appearance here in mid
season. It's to protect your skin
from extremes Of weather, cold or hot,
with particular emphasis on the
sportsman.
The creators Of this new product
are so enthusiastic about 1t that they
sing its praises in lengthy verse, a
portion of which is:
For fun in the sun
Or glow in the snow,
Protect your soft skin
Where'er you may 30.
Then they add: "Tube or jar in a
green and white scheme, with figures
outlined in gay sport scene" It sounds
SO attractive that you will want tc
try some if 1t is only for chapped lips
as you walk to work in the morning
Then when you discover how soften
ing it is, you'll find lots Of uses for II
and keep 1t in mind when those March
winds blow and remember 1t If you
do have a chance to coast or skate.
All creams and lotions that are
softening are welcome during the
Winter. Some are more effective or
one type of skin than others. You
have to experiment somewhat to f1no
out the one that does the most fol
you. This is q good one to test out
a: you can get small tube for 81
cents. Then later you may want Il
get the larger jar. The tube is awfully
convenient to carry III your purse o.
have In your desk.
