For Instance, who goes to Paris and returns without bringing back some of the fascinating glass bottles which are filled with the most lovely perfume?

Tiny sachets nestle in the lining of her hat and are placed in her satin wood and benzoin and Tonquin its musk. One of the most celebrated perfumes for the bath is eau des Cannes, distilled from fresh halm leaves, and it is said that the daily use of this in the bath and on the handkerchief will materially assist in restoring health and vigor to the invalid. Here is the recipe for preparing eau des Cannes: Take two pounds of fresh balm leaves, one-quarter pound fresh lemon peel, two ounces each, broken fine, of nutmeg, corriander seed, cinnamon and angelica root.

Place these In a still with half a gallon of orange flower water and one gallon -of alcohol 60 overproof. Distill slowly until one gallon comes over, which is the eau des Cannes. English Walking Suits As for coats, these may be Norfolk or otherwise, but they are big, and many of them have hip pockets supplemented by a breast pocket, all of which are roomy enough to accommodate golf balls, tennis balls and extra cartridges. Let it not be Imagined, however, that these English suits are all merely utilitarian. Some, on the contrary, possess a very distinctive smartness and even beauty.

Watch her at the railway station in Salisbury, York or Lincoln," says the New York Press, and wonder at the immutability of that tweed suit, that collar and mannish tie, that big hat with its' uncompromising posies. Three-tier skirts and fussy boleros affect her no more than a prevailing fashion in China. Nothing can disturb the placidity of her tweed and four-in-hand; it is as much a matter of course as that at 4 o'clock she should commence to yearn for tea. There is something compelling about this Immunity from "style" and there Is also something arresting about the comfort of the Englishwoman's clothes.

The English influence is at work in our costumes, and for a while at least the public Is going to be converted to the long-wearing tweeds, Donegals, cravenettes and Kashmlrs. We have had enough of skirts in which we could only hop, like the trained poodle at the circus, and this, spring we are going to wear not. only full, box-pleated skirts, but intend to swap the fragile, and enfettering silk petticoat for knickerbockers.
