Perfume History


DERFUME in prehistoric
times was closely linked
with religion and worship.
Certain odors were sup.
posed to drive away devils,
others to enchant or pacify
the gods. Perfume was also
considered a sort of anti
septic, a purifier of bad air.
Some odors had healing
powers, others were used in
temple rites, in worship and
otherwise. According to
Ewes Glossary" Hippo
rates rid Athens of a plague
by the use of perfume after
every other means had
failed. He had flowers and
plants hung on all the
houses of the city and arc.
matte herbs were burnt i'm
the streets and pubic
places.
The Crusaders introduced
the use of perfume TO Eu-
rope. And European women,
especially French women,
liked it so much that they
used it not only on their
clothes and personal effects
but all over the house in the
form OF SaChet.

THERE are two schools
of thought on the use
U of perfume. One opinion
is that women wear per-
fume to please themselves,
which means that the per-
fume they choose gives
them a lift" The other
opinion is that women wear
perfume TO please others
especially men-beCauSe the
wearer becomes immune to
the perfume she wears on
herself after a short time,
and therefore obviously in
tends it for other noses
than her own.
The woman who wears
fragrance to please herself
will change her perfume ac-
cording to mood, season and
costume. The woman who
chooses perfume to please
others will do much as the
French women do, get one
perfume to wear at all times
so that it literally becomes
her trademark.
So the man who intends
to give perfume to his be-
loved at Christmas time had
better find out 10 which
school of thought she sub
ScribeS.
After the prospective per
fume purchaser knows the
answer, perhaps it will help
him to choose if he knows
a little perfume history.
This years beautiful array
of bottles and fragrances
gives anyone wide choice.

Use and Core

THE woman who receives
this most valuable pres
ent must wear it with taste
and discretion. To douse
yourself in perfume leaves,
instead OF an Elusive and
charming fragrance, an i'm.
preston of vulgarity. Use
1t wisely. A drop Of per
fume on the hair. along the
eyebrows, near the lips and
ears, or on the wrists is
enough.
One blender Of rare per-
fumes suggests that, for
lasting effect. you add a drop
of perfume TO a piece of
absorbent cotton and place
it under the neckline of
your dress or in your lin.
gerie. Good perfume lasts
for years that way.
Some perfume experts
think it is better to put the
fragrance directly on the
skin since the body warmth
makes it come alive.

Laundry Tips
To Remember

SEE TO IT that dresses or
blouses are washed before they

plenty Of mild soap suds.
Place flakes in bowl, first
dissolving with hot water, then
adding cold water until tenn
perature is tepid.N
Don't leave Thugs in water
for over five minutes and do
not rub or handle carelessly.
II there are any very soiled
spots, rub these gently with dry
soap flakes.
Before Tubing. all items such
as plastic buttons and similar
detail should be removed, and
the same goes for shoulder pads
and lined belts.
The latter. If washed at all,

Indoor
Gardening
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor


YOU KNOW how some gar
deners specialize in roses. some
in iris and so on. Well, 1t is just
as possible to specialize in some
particular type of plant indoors
as it is outdoors-and outdoor
gardening being rather chilly
these days, we are going to
make suggestions today for
those who want to garden in
doors-but still specialize.
Depending on the conditions
under which you must grow
your plants indoors, there Is
really a wide choice of hobby
plants. For a hot house pick
cacti and succulents. or, IL you
really want 10 come down TO
fine points, pick Just one kind
of cacti--such as the hairy ones
or those that resemble stones.
Or grow just sedums and COL
lect a large number of varieties.
Some Favor Ivies
Then there are all the differ
ent kinds of ivies-many more
than you would suspect-for the
possessor of window space that
gets little sun. These are avail
able. with a bit of searching, in
many different forms of leaf
and plant-there is even an up
right growing ivy.
What about scented leaved
geraniums if you have a sunny
window? l know a greenhouse
in which saw 141 species and
varieties of these all growing at
one time. So you see there are
plenty of possibilities in this
line.
Orchids are becoming avail
able lately at prices that you
and / can afford. Plants several
years old are selling for 81
and So.
Grow Orchids
Some people collect Victorian
glass bells" as well as orchids
and grow the one under the
other, so have miniature green
houses for comparatively little
cash outlay. Many irchids thrive
and bloom under the controlled
conditions possible in this way.
Begonias lend themselves as
collectors items-there are so
many varieties and they are al
most all very easy TO grow.
Some people scorn the common
kinds and collect only those
with snowy leaves-of which
there are also many.
The paramount idea In spe-
cialiZing indoors is to first sur
vey your growing conditions,
then pick a group of plants that
will be suited by them. That
way lies success and satisfac-
ton.

sAfter the war, I'd rather be the x.ady of the Lamp, than the Lady of the Blowtorch," said young woman in the gray, scarlet and sil- yer uniform of a cadet nurse, her eye on a postwar nursing job that went be threatened when the boys come marching home.
 A tidy total of e6,00o women be- tween 17 and 35 have seen the post war promise of nursing jobs and joined up with the Cadet Nurse Corps since June, l94S, when Con- gresswoman Frances Payne Bolton of Ohio sponsored a bill creating the corps, and providing a $45 5,000,- 900 training program.
 That enrolment makes petite Director Lucille Petry of the Divi- sion of Nurse Education, U. s. Pulp lei Health Service, chief of the largest group of women in war time service. But there is room for many more women who want to serve. says Miss Petry.
 Recruitment is under way for a big class next fall. Aspiring cadet nurses can join up with regular trice-yearly classes in more than one thousand approved schools throughout the country. An appli- cation and list of requirements can be had by writing to Box 88, New York 8.

 The girl could not believe that she had tuberculosis, because she was sure there had been none in her family. The doctor told her that tuberculosis is never inherited, but that she might have acquired the in- faction as a child from raw cows milk, or from close association with some person outside the family who had the disease. He assured her that it was curable If found early and kept under proper treatment. This he said, meant that she must have good medical and nursing care, complete bed rest in a quiet, we'll ventilated room, and an adequate diet.
 He advised her to go to a sani. tarium, because there she would learn how to take care of herself as well as how to protect other persons from exposure to her in- lection. When she had learned these lessons,( it would be safe for her to finish her treatment at home.

Eggs for Summer Meals

Eggs continue on the plentiful list which prompts the Nutrition Com mittee to urge their use freely, par ticularly at this time when meat is fairly scarce, in spite of the zero point values. Eggs may double for meat, that is, they supply the same complete proteins, and may be used in a variety of ways in' place of meat. They are also high in minerals and vitaminS.
 The egg sandwich has long been 8 popular one, either for the carried lunch or for lunches eaten at home. Just be sure the mixture is not dry finely chopped cabbage or celery added to the hard cooked egg, with dressing and your favorite season. ing, is a good combination. Chil- -dren always enjoy just plain hard cooked eggs in lunches, and so do most adults who carry lunches. Stuffed eggs, fastened with tooth- picks and wrapped in wax paper add variety to the carried lunch. Stuffed eggs may also be used for a luncheon or supper dish. Served on lettuce and garnished with rao- ishes and spring onions you have 8 main dish and a salad combined into one. A cold plate of cottage cheese, now available, and stuffed eggs, is not only a nutritious but delightful main dish for 8 warm weather meal. With this, serve creamed potatoes, and the vege-. tables in season-perhaps beet greens, buttered carrots, new peas; rolls or whole wheat bread, beverage and dessert. Another stuffed egg suggestion calls for Creole Sauce:
 4 to 5 hard cooked eggs
 medium sized onion
 medium sized green pepper
 3 tablespoons butter or other fat
 tablespoon flour
 1 1-2 cup tomatoes
 1 teaspoon sugar
 Salt, pepper, bay leaf
 While the eggs are still hot, cut them in halves lengthwise, remove the yolks and mash them. Season with salt, pepper and a little salad dressing or vinegar. Refill the whites. Chop the onion and green pepper and cook in the fat for few min utes. Stir in the flour, tomatoes and seasonings. Simmer about 10 min. utes. Add the eggs to he sauce ana allow to heat.

The duckling season reaches its height in July. So let's get on the bandwagon.
 Select a bird with broad and pliable breast. See that its flesh is firm and free from bruises, with a fair amount of fat evenly distrib- uted underneath the skin. The feet and bill should be yellow. If the duck is young. the windpipe will yield when gently pressed with the fingers. A flve-pound duck will serve four persons adequately.
 The duck is at its best when roasted or praised. Apple sauce or pan fried apples are the usual &C., compartment. Tart jellies, such as currant, are also excellent compan- ions for roast duckling.
