But what she does not always completely understand is the more subtle business of choosing from among the best of lovely scents- and how lovely and how many they are nowadays-the particular per- fume that will exactly suit ber personality and appearance.
We must I think give the Freiwoman pride of place in her knowledge of how to use per- fume to its most alluring advant-

The choice is wide. It only re- mains to get the best out of which- ever of these perfumes you choose.
Here are a few tips straight from the experts:

Spray it on with a fine atomiser or dab it on the skin with the drop- stopper provided.
Tour own nose gets accustomed "to your scent, but other noses do not. So don't increase your original dosage.
Don't mix perfumes. As far as possible, choose all your toilet ac cessories in one scent.
