WOMEN AND PERFUME.

It is becoming more popular every year to u^e throughout the list of toHet accessories one perfume. This perfume should be an individual choice, and it should never be powerful enough to attract attention or commonet. The fashionable woman despatches her recipe- to the perfumes for her own particular scent to be made up regardless of cost, and this scent must predominate through her face-dreamt, soap, toilet water, and powder. This idea is very" costly, as each successive preparation demands time, skill, and patience ; but when completed the woman for whom the- new fragrance is made may delight in au odour that even her dearest friends can only guess at. All these toilet accessories on the up-to-date dressing table represent all the new, subtle, and delicious perfumes, which in some cases have no natural counterpart at all, but ■wdiich are interwoven with the heavy fragrance of musk, or the delicate refinement of orris or violet. Many of these newer essences are blends which are faintly suggestive of some recognisable scent, but infinitely more lasting than the shadowy fragrance with which we associate them.— London Tribune.
