SOME HINTS.
COMMON SENSE ON COMMON
SCENTS. You can judge a woman by the scent she uses, because—il‘ she carries about with her an atmosphere of violette de parme then she is fond of shopping and expensive fur coats. If she trifles with trefle incamat, then she dotes on dinner dances. If verbena is her special selection, then she has been disappointed in love. If she smells of plain yellow soap, she is worthy but unambitious. If she lavishes an odour of cashmir bouquet, then she has not long left her schooldays behind. If she sprinkles eau de Cologne on her handkerchief, she must be old enough to be your grandmother. If she sniffs delicately at lavender water she is addicted to sentimentality and headaches. If she uses some subtle Oriental perfume that you know not the name of, then she is trying to beat Nita Naldi at her own game. If she smells of herbs and sweet spices—thyme, mint, parsley, marjoram, rosemary, sage, cloves—then love her truly, for indeed she is a cook.
