a S WE approach the Easter season
perfumes make a more insistent
appeal. Those We have been using
through the winter do not express
the feeling Of spring, and we long for
the lighter flower fragrances. Among
these, one of the most delightful and
unusual is the perfume captured from
white Russian vlolets This is known
to have been favorite of the Rus
sian nobleWomen for their spring and
Easter festival costumes. 1t is en-
chantingly delicate and elusive.
This perfume is the creation of a
woman who specializes in the essence
OF white flowers only. 1t seems to us
that she has made a most intriguing
choice in selecting only the most deli
cate white blossoms for her perfume
laboratory She tells us that the es-
sences OF these flowers are taken from
them Immediately after they are gath
cred in the early morning before the
dew vanlshes. and that their imprison-
ment under glass represents double the
work involved in the making of the
average flower perfume.
A N AMUSING idea for Easter is a
fetching little white straw bonnet
trimmed with ribbons and flowers.
The crown lifts to reveal three facons
containing three fascinating fra
grances. all we'll known and well liked.
An Easter basket like a wicker picnic
hamper done in lavender and yellow.
with two bottles of perfume. is also an
attractive Easter gift suggestion. From
the same perfume house comes a new
h'2c eau de cologne that appeals to the
eye as we'll as to the nostrils.
Less glamorouS and more on the
pract-cal side is a new mouth wash
that is making name for itself. One
drop on the tongue eliminates all
traces OF the tasty spring onion in your
luncheon salad. 1t comes in concen-
trated form. and for regular use one
bottle is sufficient for several gallons of
mild mouth wash. A small facon of
this concentrate is good to keen in
the purse.
SOMETHING else new! Have YOU
heard about that rich, soft, black
cream that makes the lashes look
sllkier and at the same time stinu-
lates them to a more luxuriant
growth? It's fine idea! After ap-
plying makeup, lightly tip the lashes
with bit of the cream and see how
they will glisten. If you do not use
eye-shadow in the daytime. this dark
cream may be used instead. When
brushed over the lashes and brows it
removes ell traces of powder and gives
a fattering look to the eyes. The fact
that it helps the growth of sparse
broWs and lashes at the same time
that 1t adds to the appearance, puts
this double-duty cream in a place by
itself. OF course, it may also be used
at night, if desired.
When you lay aside your winter
handbag for new one and discard
all the JUNK that has been accumu-
lating for months back, why not turn
over a new leaf and make one more
resolution about keeping things really
neat and in order? Get yourself one
OF those purse kits in the shape of a
small striped cylinder-green and
White-or whatever color you like best.
There are five sections that unscreW
and may be filled with your own ia
Vorlte creams, rouge, powder and even
tablets for an occasional headache or
attack OF indigestion, all to be kept
within the smallest possible space and
yet so easy to use at moments notice.
They are inexpensive and solve a lot
