Secrets of Perfumes Told; Manufacturing Process Interesting A flno perfume Ifl a work of art. Tho mannor of blending, c&re in determining exact proportions nre Important parts of the manufac turing process. The more expen sive perfumes arc those In which the concentrated perfume Is of heavy percentage. An approximate estimate of from 12-16 ounce of oil per gallon of alcohol might bo offered as the characteristic of the higher" Jirlced perfume. In the less ' uxurfous types 2-5 . ounce of concentrated perfumo, or oil, may be ued to the gallon of alcohol. As to the different combination, there are more than n thousnnd In dividual aromntlra which may bo used Independently or in combina tion. The final scent may he buiU up from b' base which Itself Is composed of sevoral varying ele ments. Roth simple And complex blending are produced. It s pos sible to make entirely pleasing es sences with the use of only a few Ingredients, but often an many as fiO are used In one good fragrance. A "flxltlve" is used to make the compound scent more lasting. All fixatives were formerly composed of natural animal products such ns mlrsk nnd civet, but the nccomp llshments of recent years have brought "synthetic" elements to this field. "Synthetica1 have mie- reeded In duplicating the fragranre of many plants, flowers, nnd other nromatlcs, so that today's perfume products are obtainable In larger quantities of higher qiinltty thnn ever before. "Synthetic musk" Is produced from unusually strong nitric acid nt a tromenrtously low temperature. A "synthetic heliotrope" is pro duced from safrol contained In enmphor, by means of a froexlng process. Skill nnd genius has transformed turpentine Into lime. Separators, vacuum stills, agita tors, boiling and freexlng nppora tim nre all needed to transform ihe rn materials Into the wonderful perfume. It may thus be seen thi.t the perfumes upon milady' vnnltv In hie- are the result of long, diffi cult, and tedious processes. There nre special testers In every plnce where perfumes are manufactured. Ills duty Is to test the. odor, and very often he refuses much of the products, accepting only one out of three gallons.

Face Powder Story Told; Ingredients and Uses Described Faco powder iff UHod not only for the Hiiko of aiptiimuco, ht also to protect tho sit In. Tho slight Irregularities of contom nnd of coloring whh'h may bo found In everyono are corrected by a film of powder, ho that the face Is seen ns a gently gradua ted series of. curves and tints. The powder protects the skin agnlnst wind 'nnd Hun, and linn nutlHeptlc properties. A good face powder Is sufficiently oimquo to hide blemishes without producing a whltowashed appearance, and adheres firmly tinder all condi tions. These qualities are obtain ed by tho u so of blonds of min eral and vcgotnMo substances, each of which Impacts its char acteristic nature to tho powder. Tho principal -.vcgctuhlo Ingre dient of faro powder Is starch, the most suitable qunllty being prepared from rich, orris root, which Is a form of starch ob tained from the Toot of the Iris plant, Is also satisfactory. Starch Is absorbent, nnd under condi tions which Induce - perspiration, It Is valunble for the prevention of nhlnincHs. Not nil fare pow ders contain starch. 1 Vowders without starch have great trans parency and permit, tho natural color of tho skin to remain vis ible, but they have a tendency to cause the shiftiness and to bo less adhesive. If powder Ih rubbed Into the skin, the grains may en tor the pores, nnd becoming mois tened by the natural secretion of tho glands, swell nnd cause dam age. Thus a powder base should always be usid to protect these pores. . The cream fills tho pores with harmless materials which prevent the entrance of the starch grains, and assist the powder to adhere. Kvery faco powder contains a eonsldvrable quantity of mineral matter such ns xlnc oxide, talc, calcium carUmate, osmeknolln. magnesium earbonste, xine sterate or magnesium Kerate. The inont Important of these mlnernN Is talc, which usually forms nt least 1 50 per cent of the powder base. Talc is a st-perlor grade of French chalk unequalled for fluencs nnd ! for Its power of slipping over the I skin, which It liihrientes. Talc H unsuitable for the fare unless It is mixed with n considerable pro portion of other muterlaN ns it lacks "covering power." Hlnc ox ide and osnioknolln nre minerals whleh mako up for this defici ency, these mo alHo valunhln antl (optics, adhesiveness Is obtained by the ineluslon of zinc or mag nesium st orate, which also gives softness to the powder. These nro recognized as remedies for acne nnd other skin uffeetlons. The coloring matter in any reputable make of face powder is perfectly harmless. The shades must be suitable for both day light nnd artificial light. Tho colors used In fare powders may bo of vegetable origin, gamboge, burnt sugar, saffron, etc., but are often blends of Iron, preparations of cochineal, or aniline dy est tiffs, all may ho used with complete confidence. Hefore it Is packed. It Is sifted thru silk to Insure fineness. Tho perfumo Is usually added nt this stage. The perfttmcH used In face pow ders nre concentrated oils, of high nntlsoptlc value, nnd If too much oil: Is used In an attempt to in crnnso, the power of the odor, the color will bo affected and the powder mny entire sninrtlng.

A. Ti. Cummings Mrs. CamplH'U Social Gatherings Regular Features There nro two classes of cus tomer that a manufacturer of toilet preparations must cater to. The first class are those who de sire comfortable nnd healthy skins and those who desire beaut if til skins. For tho on class of cus tomer he makes cold creams, skin foods, lip salvos and hair tonics; for tho other class cleansing creams, massage creams, Hp-sticks and brllllantlnos. Substances commonly used In greasy creams Include olive nnd uracil Is oils, porslc almond oil, beeswax, spermaceti, lanolin, li quid paraffin, nnd petroleum Jel ly. Creams made from these ma terials leave n layer of grease on the skin which softened the snf- face and prevents chnfing. This film Is visible nnd gives tho face a shiny nppenrance nnd Is reoonv mended for use before retiring. A true "cold cream" differs from n "skin food" In that It con tains chlgh percentage of water. A cold cream mny contain ns much ns one-third of Its weight of water, nnd consists of little more than one or other of the fats nnd waxes, emulsified by heating It with, the wnter and a little borax. Creams contnlnlng almond, nr- nchls, olive or similar oils nre ab sorbed by the pores and assists In the building up of tissue, thus the n n m o "skin f o od . ' C ren m s containing only petroleum Jolly, liquid paraffin, nnd waxes cannot fatten nnd should b termed, "re ducing massage crenms," "cleans ing creams or "cold rrenm," ac cording to the proportion of wnt er they contain. A "cleaning" crennt cents the skin with grense, lubricating H nnd Imparting n suppleness which Is essential for purpose- of massage. When this: layer of nil t wiped away with a J soft cloth or cleansing tissues, tho Itealizlng that social contact Is essential to harmony and efficiency among the many employees of Mann's, John C. Mann stages a store social get-together twice each year. These gatherings nre usual ly In the form of store picnics In the summer time and banquets nnd thentro parties In the winter mouths, Last week nn enjoyable dinner party was staged at the Hotel Mod ford after which the employees enjoyed a theatre party nt the Fox Employes Enjoy Monthly Meetings Kvery month the employes of Mann's gather for a general sales meeting and round table discus sion. These meetings have become Institutions nt Mann's and very constructive ideas nre frequently forthcoming from various members of the stuff. greater part of the dead tissue, dust, etc. is removed with it. This Is the origin of tho name "cleans ing cream." Any given cream must either be nbsorhed by the skirt wholly or partially, or not absorbed nt nil. If It Is absorbed to any ex tent. It cannot be wiped cleanly away and remove the dirt with It. On tho other hand. If It can be wiped cleanly away. It Cannot possibly penetrate the pores and feed tho (issues. Thus no one cream can be both a cleansing cream nnd a skin food. The two types being mutually exclusive. Most excellent for building up tissue nnd restoring sunken hol lows Is lanolin. This Is a puri fied fat obtained from sheep's wool. This snbrtance Is Included in some of the best tissue creams. (y5 LWAYS Humming Bird t Huse are to be found in ' stores of the better class.
