 A little white book containing six tiny flacons of perfume, each made from oils of a white flower, is a nice gift for the bride to give her bridesmaid, or, for that matter, for anybody to give anybody. The wom- an who likes to have d variety of perfume on hand would be pretty happy to receive this book The flower fragrances include bridal wreath, white camellia, white carna- tion. white lilac, white violet and white heliotrope.
 For one who just doesn't like to be seen without makeup-even on the beach-theres waterproof foundation base which she can use under or instead of face powder. This comes in cake form and in all shades to match all complexions. One simply applies few dabs, then smooths them out over fore head, neck, face. It's about the con- sistency of grease paint and gives the skin a dull, mat finish.
 For the budget-minded woman who simply can't bear the idea of throwing away nail polish that be- comes thick in the bottom of the bottle, there's new nail lacquer solvent. Add few drops of this to the thick polish, stir thoroughly, then test on one nail.
 New, too, is an electric face mask for the girl who likes to re- move tissue cream before going to bed. Made by a company which manufactures heating equipment used in body reconditioning and weight reducing salons, it is really a heating pad in the shape of mask.
 After covering the face with rich cream and lining the pink velvet mask with cleansing tissues, one puts the mask on and leaves it on long enough to thoroughly warm the skin, thereby causing the skin to absorb cream more rapidly. Ma turally. 1t stimulates circulation, too. P. s. It is not priced for very low budgets.

 And yet-there are people who always are on time. They start early. Women who never trust to luck and test their ovens and re- cipes first. People who systematize parties and seldom make social blunders. They don't need alibis or excuses. Of course they are some times very tiresome, these efficiency experts, and they make us feel most inadequate and shiftless, but just the same they are not hunting for someone or something to take their blame.
 To make mistakes does not mat ter; to wiggle out of blunders by craven excuses, does matter.

A STRANGE VOICE called the
"A New York regional office Of

and said: Douglas speaking. I
