Led By The Nose
Sir,—The instructive article in Monday’s women’s page should be noted by men and women. The sense of smell is useful as well as an aesthetic asset. Those who are smoke-sodden are usually immune to the fine nuance of landscape perfume. They fail to open car windows to let in the sweet tussock scent of Canterbury plains or they "light up” before stepping out so never notice changes of atmosphere from town to country. The incidence of fire or gas leakage fails to announce danger to tobacco-jaded nostrils, even of non-smokers subjected to inflicted fumes. They lose keen reaction* to delicate flower perfumes, the aroma of good tea, coffee or food. Animals, non-smokers, are more reliable for fire detection. Cats enjoy flower scent exquisitely and even ecstatically.—Yours, etc.. . RE-EDUCATION. January 30, IM3.
