Diana Wayne talks sense about

Summer

OF all the enchanting occupa-

tions on a really hot day. getting yourself nicely scented is the best.

It may be accomplished in the grand manner-beginning with a bath and finishing with a fragrant gar- denin right in the centre of your topknot or it may consist of a hurried, conven- tional drop behind the earA. Whichever way you do it, perfume is an infallible short cut to 'charm.

All are Good

NE of the cleverest women I know soaks a tiny cotton-wool ball in her favourite scent before she is going to a dance, and lurks it Into the centre of her decollet- aste.

Another, Frenchwoman, perfumes the hem of her frocks su that as she moves she leaves the air faintly sweeter behind her. Still another keeps a pomander {n dried orange studded with cloves, spicy zinel delicious) in her linen cupboard, so that the warm air permeates everything she wears,

There are as many ways to use perfume, in fact, as there are" subile women in the work. And nil good.

Very Cooling

ONE of the loveliest, wonderful in a

heat wave or after a hot bath, is an alt-over spray with perfumed end de Cologne. In case you don't understand about per- fumed Cologne--I didn't, either the ex- planation is this.

Not Overdone

THIS business of getting all your per- fume to harmonise can be a fas- cinating hobby: hut is not lo be overdone. One does hear of wenen who refuse to use scent at all because it might "elush" with their face powder or Bpstick.

They are in the same category as women who talk of calories and vitamins at every meal. A charming woman, with make-up and perfume pleasant and not overdone, can never snel Me a clash,

Aequired Taste

THIS doesn't mean that the seventeen-

years-old can run wild with aubur and nusk: but in these beauty-conscious. days, thank Heaven, she is hardly likely to. There are so many beguiling outdoor stents for her sweet briar and jasmin and fougere, nd the fresh, delightful lilac that belongs naturally to seventeen summers,

As another general rule, perfumes suit- able for seventeens are ideal for over-sixties as well.

For the ages between, they fall into three groups: "straight" flower

scents, bouquets that are a mixture of flower per- fumes and faint spices, and sophisticated extracts labelled with "M" or " "No, "," or some equally reticent name,

YOU

Amber arf Musk

You may not like these sophisticated perfames at first sniff. They are an acquired taste like enviare-which is just as well since they are usually almost as expen- sive.

The faintly spiced bouquets contain most women's ideal perfume at

more modest price. Is it worth searching for the idead perfume? Every time. Once found it will give you pleasure for life. No matter how you my wander you'll always come back to it with pleasure; in October, when you take your furs from their summer hid- ing, you'll sniff it just as oppreciatively us you did this time last year.

WHICH REMINDS ME

Now is the time to spray a little per- fume on to your broadtail or musquash, if they don't possess any already. Fur is the next best thing to your own skin for bringe ing out the true sweetness of a scent; and provided it is just a reasonably good per» fume it will smell even tovelier three months from now.

There are some of us who, though we provide every comfort for the man of the house, would hardly etane under Lody Oxford's defini- tion of a comfortable woman,

She has no jarring nerves or jumpy, discordant tempera; she is very easy to get on with; that does not mean she can have no

Useful Hints

WHEN you make meringues

you add a pinch of baking powder to the mixture.

When making jam, take a large cork, make a slit in it, and push the handle of the stirring spoon into it. This avoids burnt fingers, and should it fall into the liquid, it will float.
