There are summer scents and
summer scents. Some make sense
and some don't. The ones that
don't are the ones that, instead of
conjuring visions of rolling green
hills, fresh sweet cotton dresses and
a basketful of lovely summer flowers,
bring to mind, instead, a heavy,
sultry. sirenish feeling. Those scents
are the ones to avoid II 1t is a
sweet-smelling GOODNESS you desire
during the summer months.
The wise business girl knows that
she never, under any circumstances,
goes to her office wearing heavy
perfume. This is especially true
during the good old summertime.
And that is when toilet waters,
creamy and clear colognes, perfume
sticks and powders get the real
workouts.
Spicy daytime colognes and toilet
waters are great favorites. Two that
are also perfect gifts for the high
school graduate on your list come in
separate bottles or in sets coupled
with dusting powder or soap in the
same "outdoorsy" scent. And there's
a "chambray special" that is per-
feet for that type of fabric and
other cottons. One of the freshest
aromas we've found is a bath CO.
logne that comes in q dainty flower
sprayed white bottle. For town and
country two colognes reminiscent of
the countryside and the sophisti-
Gated summer town life are avail
able. Another daytime favorite is
one that your mothers adored. 1t
is light, carefree and gay. 1t was
absent during most Of the war years
but is now back, much to the happi-
ness of the many lovely women who
have used it for years. The belle
of the day also has a special eau de
toilette made up for her which was
the toast Of Paris in its perfume
state. 1t has only recently made its
appearance in this version and pos
sesses the quality which endears any
scent-that of staying with you for
hours.
Floral fragrances that approx
mate the perfume Of the flowers
themselves have been put out by
one leading perfume house. For
a key in selection there is Gardenia,
for the warm vibrant personality;
Lilac, for a girl who's full of mer-
riment: Violette for the demure,
sweet girl; Carnation for a saucy
lady; Muget Oily of the Valley
for the dainty and feminine girl.
and Rose for any and all.
Since your day" has been taken
care of we'll let the might" come
into the cologne picture. Evening
is when the cares of the day should
be forgotten. To help you relax
and enjoy yourself at that time,
there are two fairly new perfumes
that have cologne mates. These
two evening sents are for the woman
who desires distinctive fragrance,
full OF depth, yet light and fresh.
A famous dress designer puts out
a very wide-awake new eau de
toiletet which is exactly mot" what
the name on the bottle says. 1t
comes beautifully packaged in the
summer shades of turquoise and
white. For the laSSies who are
barring their shoulders in this sum-
mer's newest fashion copied from
the flashing senoritas South of
the Border, there's an especially ex-

named.
Night and day tricks to remem-
ber with summer colognes is to
tuck tiny piece of cotton saturated
with your favorite scent in the
middle of your bra. Or place a bit
OF scented cotton under your ring
and as you gesture gracefully the
scent will rise along with the hand
movement. Dab cologne on your

shoulder pads, and use it as an
