Substitutes for Perfume.

The various devices adopted to serve as a substitute for liquid perfume has never been entirely satisfactory when it comes to the necessity of impartiijg an enduring scent to a gown. The little silver hearts, perforated and containing the solid pellets of perfume, were rather ornamental than useful, even when there were no substitutes for them. They are still in use and dropped into the deepest recesses of the corsage, exude a faint and not very enduring perfume. Most of the Paris dressmakers put into convenient places in a gown the small bags of sachet powder of the scent afTected by the wearer. Nearly every woman, who makes an effort to keep up with these •oveltles in daintiness, has her set of ttle sachet bags to be worn in the corsage, even if she does not have them sewed in every dress. -
