'F you use perfume choose one
that expresses you. Use it ju
diciously and use no other.
Rather puszllng advice this?
Let me explain. There are perfumes
that express us. For instance, there
are kinds of fragrance that suggest
and harmonize with the bl J'.'.c.
There are other of the fragrant
odora that belong exclusively to the
brunette. Thia ia no whim, but a
fact with a foundation In oclence.
A practical perfumer who was also
an eminent chemist once expressed
his surprise at my choice of violet
essence for my toilet table.
"But violet Is the mode." I de
fended my choice with this excuse
of woman.
"But it Is not you," he retorted.
"You are individual enough to dress
your hair in the way that is becom
ing, despite the fashions. Why not
have the same courage as to per
fumes?" "What is my perfume T" I asked.
"A bouquet," he answered. "That

"Because," he re
turned, "you are a
brunette."
And again I asked
why.
"Brunettes give oft individual
odora that counteract the simpler,
more delicate perfumes. There is
more ammonia in the exhalattona
from their bodies than there is in
the blonde. Ammonia kills any dedi
cate fragrance. The brunette should
therefore choose the rich, heavy fra
grances, especially those that coma
from the East."
He gave me the formulae for two
perfumes which be considered typi
cal for the darkhalred, dark-eyed
woman, or for any woman who ia
more nearly brunette than blonde.
Every woman is rather more bru
nette than blonde, or rather more
blonde than brunette. There it

These are the typical brunette
perfumes recommended by my
friend who knew:

like a suggestion ot perfume to
hang about a dainty woman or to
cling to the draperies in her apart
ments. A word about perfuming an
apartment. One of the most charm

about It, is to have a rose Jar on
the mantle or bookcase. Uncover
it now and then when you want the
room to be especially fragrant

I open the doors of the closets ia
which hang my perfumed gowns
and furs, and the tiny streams of

sweet odor.
If you add a little pepper or a few
cloves to your sachet powder It
makes the perfume stronger and
more lasting. A crushed stlek of
cinnamon not only serves this pur
pose but It Is an hyglenlo agent,
purifying the air. The physicians
of ancient days used It as a disin
fectant. To drive away a harassing head

bottle of cologne about Here is
a formula by which you can make
your own:
Oil of orange 15 grams
Oil of cedar 14 grama
Oil of lemon 14 grama
Oil of bergamot.,10 grama
Oil of lavender... 7 drops
Oil of cloves 4 drops
Oil of cinnamon.. 8 drops
Tincture of amber. 6 drops
OH of neroll 2 drops
OH of rosemary.. 1 drop
Tincture cf musk. 6 drops
This formula is s useful one to
the brunette girl, especially one
whose favorite flower is the Jacque
minot rose:
Pulverized red rose
petala 2 ounces
Carmine 10 grains
Tincture of musk. 14 dram
Mix with these enough gut
tragacanth to shape them into
little balls. Pierce them with a
darning or knitting needle.
This is a charming, old aromatic

place of toilet water. A "bead"

you wash your hands perfumes
them and gives them a rosy glow.
Some girls choose as their favor
ite perfume one that harmonises
with the idea of their favorite color.
The girl who likes blue chooses the
violet, one who prefers mauve se
lects the scent of lavender, and the
girl who surrounds herself with yel
low chooses the orange or citron
scents, as the girl who likes the
fragrance ot the carnation furnishes
her own rooms in pink, besides
nearly always appearing in this
color or having some touch of it la
her costume.
