It is Innguage borrowed from chemist, hunter and bot- anist, It speaks in terms of attar and aldehyde, mimosa. musk, rose and boisum of Peru ...Best of all It is a romarice, the romance of an endless search for beauty.
WORLDWIDE SEARCH
It is closely linked with travel; adventure, morals, customs, religion and romance. The world's remolest places alre explored in search of its raw materials,
Its manufacture is full of mystery. It is a highly crea- tive art and * most exact science.

Fashion Sideglances
D ESIGNERS obviously believe that women are developing a taste for lush materials. Coarsely embroidered metal spots on blanket cloths are promised for the colder months and thot, effects are given to diagonal tweeds faced with a contrasting dark duvetyn. In fact, very few materials will be what they seem. Reverse them and they will startle the eye by displaying a different, colour and even a different weave, and LOVELYN" woven with gold and aliver threads will be arhang-the-popular fabrics.
On the other hand, if they do not desire to look magnificent, women can enjoy themselves by presenting wornothing of the appearance of furry caterpillars since they arez promised plush and furry-surfaced fabrics for winter conts. They arevinp. parently tired, too, of the muted tones which they wore last year. The coming months will see them "diting on colour contrasts and vermilion with grass green, cecaster und bottle green, reyal blue and..canary will make they trininine world- brighter place to live in.
