FRAGRANT LINGERIE
A FRENCH NOTION
A very clever way to give fragrance to one's underwear is to make a pad of georgette, with a filling of dried rose leaves, and your favourite sachet powder. Cut the material the exact size of the bottom of your lingerie drawer, just as if you wore making a sofa cushion. Into a large howl or jar put sufficient dried rose leaves to make the pad when filled about 2in thick. Then add about loz. of sachet. If it is a very decided odour, Joz. will most likely lie sufficient. With your fingers mix the sachet and rose leaves until the sachet has been thoroughly scattered among the leaves. The :i fill the georgette pad. To make it a really dainty and pretty article it should be quilted with embroidery silk and bows, as you would a patchwork quilt. So when .your lingerie is placed on the pad it becomes impregnated with the fragrance of the sachet.
