PERFUMES.

The idea that ®cent is a tiling to avoid is among tho exploded notions of the ultra-prudish, states a writer in "The Queen." Ohoap scent, too strong 6cont, is certainly detestable, but the really luxurious and dainty women always uses ■ Bomo scent peculiar to her own personality. Some women buy their scouts in litres, some in ounces,' but tlio cost must bo Inc'li, otherwise tho result is common and unpleasant. One of the great points about all the best to-day is> that they put up their scents in t'ko most lovely bottles, bottles that, a few years from row, will be sought for everywhere by collectors. There is one maker who has a certain lovely dull blue medallion bottle tliat is altogether desirable, But wliat is better still, is to buy some lovely old cut-glass bottles and havo them filled with t'he 0110 particular perfurao that denotes one's own personality. Nothing expresses a woman's personality so clearly as the scent she uses. One knows the violet type, tho rost type, tho lavender type, and tho exotic typo, and they all have their attractions.
