Individual Charm Enhanced
By Fragrances
HARM is indefinable. Many
Clave tried to say what cour
stitutes feminine charm but all have failed miserably. It is be- cause charm is individual. It varies with each personality. What is a charming characteris- tic in one person may not be considered charming in another. But it is safe to say that every woman has some charm and that she should make the most of.
Perhaps the oldest method of enhancing one's individual charm is by appropriate selec- tion of fragrances and the novel administrations of those fra- grances. Flower'scents have been used for countless centuries, in one form or another, to heighten feminine appeal. Long before the manufacture of perfumes, maidens in primitive tribes twined fresh flowers of pene- trating perfumes into garlands to wear. Even to-day South Sea Island ladies wear the seduc- tively scented hibiscus flower to attract!
But fresh flowers were not always available and as civil- isation grew more complex, women soon learned the trick of compounding flowers into liquid- essences which were more subtle in their allure and in their blending with their own personalities:

New Methods Of Using Scents Although, many women know the obvious uses of scent dab on the wrists, behind the ears, in the hair and on one's kerchief only a few realise what an integral part of one's personality a fragrance may become. That is so, perhaps, because many women cannot afford to use perfumes as wide- ly as they desire.
But the growing desire to use scents in more novel ways has. made the lighter fragrances of colognes and toilet waters in- creasingly vogueish among chic Americans, because they are less expensive and may be used-
as effectively as perfumes.
More and more women select suitable fragrances in the lighter brews so they may use them-more lavishly. Poured into the bath, for body rubdowns after a shower or tub, for a facial pick-me-up, sprayed on the finished coiffure, around their boudoir, in their under- things and linens, in gloves and 28 a general perfumed skin lotion. Thus they achieve a fascinating, delicate appeal which becomes a part of their personality and charm!
Popular Fragrances . Three fragrances are particu-" larly popular in America - Lilac (synonymous with youth and spring), Geranium and Easter Lily. These scents are available in expertly blended lotions and the firms which brew them, had you in mind when they sent them to market moderately priced! They want you to enhance your specific charm! Why not do it?
The intelligent romantic, “the man who does things exquisitely, has the fatal faculty of making you discontented with all the nice, ordinary people whom you meet afterwards.

above creating fullness over your

square neckline are smart, and scalloped edges make them more becoming. The skirt has a delight-
