Beauty and You
by PATRICIA LINDSAY
Which Perfume You
Prefer
It is almost a ten to one bet that your beau will give you per- fume this Christmas 50 in your own clever fashion, you might just as well let him know which brews you prefer!
Of course, I do not mean that you must take the pleasure out of his surprise by requesting that he give you perfume. But you might get over to him that such or such a fragrance is more suited to you than such or such!
If I were a salesgirl behind a perfume bar I would thrill when a male customer approached. Not because of his masculine attrac- tiveness, no indeed, but I would think, "Here is the chance for a good sale." Then I would proceed to sell him the biggest and most expensive bottle of perfume that I felt he could afford! Of course, that would be a bit unscrupulous I know, but my sales total would be more important to me than the unknown girl who was to be the recipient of the gift!
So you see how men can be at the mercy of the girl behind the counter. He may be fortunate enough to have a more scrupulous girl wait upon him.. One who would explain the difference in fragrances and instruct him which were for sirens, which for clinging vines and which best suited for the girl he so glowingly described. But chances are he will have no such luck for he is quite likely to buy the gift on Christmas eve when customers are ten deep around the counter and he wil take what is suggested!
PERFUMES MUST SUIT PERSONALITY
Men should be informed that even the finest perfumes can be bought in small quantities and it will please his sweetheart more if he presents her with one ounce of exquisite fragrance than ten ounces of something which has a How de- questionable fragrance,
lighted a woman can be with a brew which exactly suits her most frequent mood or the personality she shows the world! For per- fume must be appropriate to the individual to scatter any charm at all.

If you have several beaus pre- senting you with several fragrances you will not have to bother your pretty little head over this pro- blem. But if the one perfume gift is likely to be a scent, which would drive you frantic every time you tried to wear it then you will have to devise some means of instructing your man! If he wishes to, let him write me about you and I'll try to steer him straight! I must know your age and what you like to do. There are pretty safe buys that are univer- sally liked, and we can at least tell him what those are.
