YOUR PERFUME

ANNE.

EXPRESS YOUR PEftSONALITY Few things have the enchantment of perfume. It is more than a scent: i it is a power. It reviv*s memories, j creates atmosphere and evokes undying pictures. It recalls all the intoxicating sweet- | ness of nature. Do not ehoose your scent because you like the look of the bottle, because you have heard that such and such a make is excellent — choose the one that suits you best. If you are a young bud of a thing, remember that the charm of a bud I lies in its delicacy. If you ar>e older I and more poised something more sophisticated is indicated. A scent which, like your beauty, is soigne and a little baffling. You can, of course, vary your perfume. Different oecasions demand different scents. Tweeds call for something fresh; velvets, furs and any sprt of the soft textures worn in the afternoon need the eomplement of I a more luxurious perfume, a little I heavier, yet still restrained, some1 thing that will add a quiet charm to the firelight and the teacups. In the evening, the imagination can run riot. Something elusive and unfathomable — something that will go ' with ivory satin and the gleam of pearls. A perfume that will add its mystery to a star-lit garden and mingle with the notes of a violin in the aistance, and faint shuffle of dancing feet.

Find it and wear it. Spray it lightly on the neck and arms. Tuck it in tiny sachets among your handkerchiefs. More especially, it is quite impossible to follow one's friends in the matter of scent. What will be enchanting on some cannot be worn by another. The best way to sample scent is to pour a very little on the back of the | hand and allow it a few minutes to evaporate before smelling it. J A rich spicey perfume will com- j pletely swamp the fresh fragrance of a gown, just as a vivid colour will make a pastel shade look anaemic, however beautiful the shade may be. A good perfume that suits you enhanccs your personality and will remain a definite part of you, delicate and charming. A little everywhere, but never too much anywhere. Elusive and tantalising, so that they who catch its, fragrance will ask themselves "What is it" "Where is it?" "Is it her hair, her lips, her throat, her dress?" Ethereal as a dream, insistent as an echo, it must float out behind you like a memory.
