COUGHS AND WEAK CHESTS

For the cure of a troublesome and persistent cough, as well as for the chest weakness it so often implies, there is a good old-fashioned cordial that simply cannot be beaten. Take four new-laid eggs, and carefully wash their shells so that all dirt is removed Put them into a large basin without breaking, and over them strain the juice of three good lemons, or sufficient to cover. Leave for two days, when the shells will have disappeared. Beat well together, and add three-quarters of a pint of the best quality rum, the contents of a small jar of honey, and about a tablespoonful of pure medicinal glycerine. Mix well, pour into a bottle, and keep well corked. Label it “Cough Cordial,” and accord this excellent home-made cure its rightful place In the medicine chest. The dose Is half a wineglassful when the cough is troublesome, or before going out in the early morning or night air.

PERFUME PERFECTION

USE WITH CARE STUDY YOUR TYPE To-day the art of perfuming is a delicate and subtle thing, and the choice of the discerning woman leans more and more toward the clean, refreshing scents of the garden as opposed to those of exotic and Oriental origin. There is real art in producing just the right amount of scented fragrance. Too often women are careless over this detail of their toilette, and add it hurriedly at the last moment, thus making jt obtrusively strong. The real artist gets her effects by having a few drops sprinkled on her garments from time to time, by tiny sachets of delicate fragrance sewn into them, as well as laid among her lingeries and in her wardrobe; in fact, in close proximity to all her more intimate belongings. Thus does she make herself daintily redolent of her chosen perfume. A little pu". on the hair each night gives it also ail elusive fragrance. To complete this delicate and essentially feminine art, just the merest touch slipuld be put on the lobes of the ears, on the upper lip, and on the palms of the hands. If one wishes to express oneself, and also to impress oneself by the haunting memory of an elusive aroma, it naturally follows that care must always be taken to adhere to one scent in all one’s toilette accessories. For people who are affected by close rooms and crowded halls, etc., a cooling touch just behind the ears often obviates an attack of faintness, and has a stimulating effect also if cologne or other spirit be used. Frozen lavender is easily carried in one’s bag, and is equally soothing in cases of faintness or headache. The whole art of perfumery lies in having the fragrance emanating from one so subtly and elusively that it never obtrudes, and yet so that one is dimly conscious of a pleasing and individual atmosphere. The clever woman is careful to choose a scent which expresses her type. Thus the sportswoman whose garments emitted waves of Oriental sweetness would be hopelessly wrong, while, inversely, the freshness of English garden flowers emanating from a languid woman of the Latin type would be equally out of place.
