Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 90, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 April 1913 — Proper Use of Perfumery. [ARTICLE]

Proper Use of Perfumery.

The proper use of good perfume is both sanitary and healthful, and the “unco guid’’ who regard it as a wanton luxury of the frivolous minded merely betray their ignorance by so doing. The abuse of perfume, however, often makes the most, ardent lover of sweet scents wish that their use might be prohibited to all those who are inclined to deluge themselves with powerful essences before seeking the company of other people whose tastes are more refined. Who has not Buffered in the Btifling atmosphere of musk, patchouli, or some other equally overwhelming odor? The well-bred woman merely “suggests’’ the fragrance of a perfume; she never shouts it! The very last place it would occur to her to saturate with scent would be her handkerchief.
