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
