THE SCENT OF MUSK.
Mr. Dobbie, in a recent article in your paper, referred to the strange fact that musk in this country has for many years lost its sweet fragrance. Is he aware that about a year ago a book was reviewed in the "Bookman"—l believe by Katharine Tynan —ft recently written book, but one whose title and author I do not now remember. I distinctly recollect, however, that the' reviewer referred to the fact that the writer, in speaking of a pot of sweet-smelling musk having been presented to one of the characters of the book, was evidently not aware that the flower's sweet odour has vanished. Reference also was made to the fact that £100 has been offered to anyone producing musk with its old-time fragrance. Flora Klickman also refers in one of her flower articles to the flower's vanished scent. MARIAN REED.
