1 L. V THIS wide world thera ar very ' many women who us perfume and sachets, but very few know the true, art It la not a question 0(t pervad ing the surrounding atmosphere) with wayea of tloylng sweetness, ner lining personal belonging- with layer of sa chet: powder. . Sachet perfume the word Indicate a hardly perceptible fra grance of sweet, fresh flowers, but'abova all it must be fresh and clean. And that Is where a lesson or so on the art of making and arranging sachets will not come amiss. The women of Trance, who hare In herited the knowledge of coquetry, know more-about the arrangement of sachets than .women of any other nationality, and they never place the little, sweet smelling dainties near the skin. The bow In the hat, the hem of the dress, the girdle, the gathera of the sleeve, or the ' pompadour yes, but never where the sachet may come In direct contact wtta the body. In this way the fragrance Is kept cool and fresh and In this way only. t Concerning the sachets themselves, moat women prefer violet, but thatjier fume is, above all others, .the hardest to keep in Its original state. It Is so delicate a thing that a few hours ex posure will wither the flowers, as it were, and the fragrance will become " stale and unattractive. v . ' Heliotrope, however, is . a different matter, and few know that, mixed with powdered orris root, the result-Is almost the fragrance of the violet,, and It Is far more lasting. In fact, orris has a preserving effect on most sachets, and should always be mixed with them. The sachet should be in little, white cotton bags, . which : will not hold too much powder. In fact, these are called thumb bags," for they are about tha alia and shape of a thumb. ": This does not waste the powder and. when tha fragrance has gone bag and all may be throwd away. : ' Tha hat is a good medium, for per fume, as It Is worn In tb open air and Is away - from the natural warmth of the.body. - , Sometimes the hat Is scented by put ting some orris and helbtrope In the bottom of the hat box and covering it . i.

All of these ways are gooJ.( but the hat sachet may be stronger than, the sachet to be worn Indoors, as tha air will soon dissipate the swatness. , A good way to wear a sachet, too, la In the pompadour. The bag should" be -very small and of silk the same color as the hair, and U should not be placed too close to' tha scalp.
