Perfume Is Smart
UF JACQUELINE HUNT.
HAVEN'T you some time

Your mirror re- veals a figure you can be justly proud of you look healthy enough, there's nothing wrong. with the way you have applied your make-up-but something misses fire. The sparkle, the In- definable something that sein you apart, is lacking.
Perhaps what you need to vitamins, not for your health, but for your personality. Perhaps you need the subtle reassurance of the right per- fume. No brilliant colour schemo is so guy that a dash of stirring per- fume won't improve it.. No print is so daintily floral that an aura of wistful boneysuckle won't lend it significatice. Navy and white will look

K you adore feminine clother with 'dressmaker detalls and soft tailoring, if firtatious petticoats rustle under your skirts and your hats are minia- ture flower gardens, you'll need a perfume accent such as lilac to em- hesize their feminine daintiness and appeal. Lilac is a fresh, light, de- licately sweet fragrance that lends itself to round-the-clock wear. It's nice with prints and suits, yet distin- guished enough to be worn with your evening clothes. It's a lovely per- fume for warm daya; surrounding you with a gentle fragrance and de- lighting those who come near you.
