BY HELEN JAMESON

WHEN THAT pretty girl who
lives next door goes tripping by
and you get whiff of perfume,
you take long, deep breath and
think she's sweet. There is Some
thing about perfume that appeals
to cne'S romantic emoClons. A
woman would rather have them
than costly dry goods or spark
ling jewels. They make life more
interesting because they create a
luxurious feeling. When you fancy
that every sweet illusion has blown
up and vanished like so many soa2
bubbles, go get yourself a little
crystal flask filled with fragrance.
When making a selection be
fastidious. Don't forget that your
purchase will be pretty steady
company, so it must have wearing
qualities. If you have a wise nose
You will not make a mistake. When
buying don't sniff more than three
or four; your smelling motors will
play out after that, be thrown in
to a state of confusion.

Give me that choicest smile,
The one reserved for noble men
And speak in mellow tones
The sweetest thoughts you have
within. >
I can't endure the harsh
The mean and ugly things you
say
And they accomplish naught
They're spoken words that go
astray.
Give me that hearty shake
Of hand without the paddle
glove,
Devoid of self and can't
AS sunbeams coming from above
AS tender and as true.
If you would peace and love en-
brace
With strong, enduring arms,
Then ever show a smiling face.
All, do not nod your head
But give me that graceful body
bow,
Replete with stately art;
l do not need to tell you how,
You know as well as I.
And give me not that evil grin
For in it danger lies
Give me that smile, for it will
win.

My beloved spake, and said unto
me,
Rise up, my Love, my fair one,
and come away.
For, 10, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing Of birds
is come,
And the voice of the turtle is
heard in our land.
The fig putteth forth her green
figs,
And the vines with the tender
grape give a good smell.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and
come away.
