Having a fragrance in a bottle makes it simple to spray the inside hem of your evening gown, your lingerie when it is folded away in . adorableâ€"satin cases, inside your glove box, inside your handbags and handkerchief case, and on your person. Perfume Self: Thoroughly Have you ever realized that other people always whiff the perfume you are wearing AFTER you pass them? There are atomizers now on the marâ€" ket with lockâ€"topsâ€"ones that have little screw tops on chains, others which are selfâ€"locking once.the bulb is pushâ€" ed back into position. Such atomizers keep your perfumse from evaporatingâ€" which the old atomizers could not boast of fdoing. But I am wondering how many woâ€" men use their precious fragrance, or fragrances to advantage. The oldâ€" fashioned way of touching a perfume bottle dropper to the back of the ear and on the wrists is not the way to get the most from your rare mixture. It should ‘be atomized â€" every drop broken up into a thousand tiny beads and sprayed where it will create an aura of beauty. Dear to every woman‘s heart is a i lovely fragrance and she cherishes a good perfume as she cherishes a jewel. And so she should, for an appropriate fragrance does as much to enhance a woman‘s beauty as does any jowel, no matter how priceless! Preparlng for a gala evening this modern beauty sprays the folds of her frothy gown with her favourite fragrance. Do You Perfume to Advantage? Try the Advance Want Advertisements Essex County Reporter: When the Reporter visited Jack Miner‘s home recently, over 100 American cars were lined up there. ‘There were delegations from the college at Adrian, Mich.; from the State College of Agriculture at Lansing, and thirtyâ€" eight theoâ€" logical students from the Free Methoâ€" dist Seminary in Indiana.> "Uncle Jack" welcomed them all and adâ€" dresséed them in his commuunity clubâ€" house, in front of the big open fire there. Immigration officers at Windâ€" sor recently announced that more tourists from the United States enter there to go to Jack Miner‘s than are destined to any other single place in Canada. The advantages to Kingsâ€" ville, to Ontario and to Canada are obvious. Perfumes <act queerly you knowâ€"it seems to take the warmth of your body and the air to bring out their true freâ€" grance. One good way of testing a mixture is to stop at a perfume countâ€" er, have a drop put on your wrist and then go about the store shopping for a .while. Sniff your wrist once in a while and see if you like the fragrance. Sometimes your nose gets confused when you sniff too many mixtures at one time! However, most every good perfume can be bought in very small quantities, so an experiment will not be too costly. (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Of course, you will select fragrance to suit your personalityâ€"that is the acid test â€"of a perfume. ‘A ‘mixture may be as rare as the Hope Diamond but if you do not like itâ€"if it does not give your spirits a lift when you wear it, then it is not suitable for you. Take time to buy a fragrance, ‘or if you sniff one on a friend which you adore, get the name of it and ‘buy that one. So â€"why not spray the back of your neck as well as your hair? Thus the fragrance trail will be lengthened and the aura will be more complete. "UNCLE JACK" HAS VISITORS withâ€"suglh«s thing!" "YouhkWe‘re ruined! Whether Bridgst took them or not, we‘re ruined. We‘ll be disgraced by even being connected "I don‘t know how they came there," said Bridget, controlling her voice with difficulty. "I have no idea. Someon:e must have put them there. Whoâ€"how â€"why, I don‘t know. They just dropped out of the coat, and Mrs. Wertheim saw them. Iâ€"I‘m practically under Mrs. Garforth stared; her baby black eyelashes fluttered; the only colour left in her face was two blots of rouge. Joyce, too, stood as though she was turned to stone. "What?" You? Her pearls!" The words tumbled breathlessly out of Mrs. Garforth‘s crimson face. "Mrs. Werthscim has accused imne of taking her pearls." "Heard?" said Mrs. Garforth, stopâ€" ping as she caught sight of Bridget‘s face, "Heard what?" Bridget closed the door, and leaned against it, her eyes dark with suffering. "You‘ve heard?" Joyce began at once; before Bridget could open her mouth: "Mother‘s frightfully upset!" "It‘s outrageous! Outrageous!" cried Mrs. Garforth, tying herself furiously into night garments trimmed with orange swansdown. In the midst of this scene, her whole being sickened by the task before her, in walked Bridget. Mrs. Wells, a levelâ€"headed little woman, dissuaded her and left Mrs. Garforth still raving about the unproâ€" voked insult which had been put upon her. She â€" trembled with rage. rushed to Mrs. Wertheim‘s door, with the intention of tearing it open and demanding an apology. Mrs. Wells restrained her, and they all went into Mrs. Garforth‘s cabin, where Mrs. Garforth collapsed in a chair. "I‘ll complain to the Captain! T‘ll go now, immediately, and complain to the Captain!" "Disgraceful! It‘s a Clisgrace that decent people should have to travel with such scum!" And she bounced into her cabin and slammed the door. "Well!" said Mrs. Garforth, fighting for breath. "What frightful insolence! Is the creature drunk?" Mrs. Wertheim appeared suddenly round the corner before them, stopped, hot faced, glared at Mrs. Garforth, and shouted to all and sundry. "A HORRIBLE IMPUTATION" At awbout ‘the time that Mrs. Wertheim left the Captain, Mrs. Garâ€" forth was walking along the corridor with Joyce ‘*and a fellow passenger, Mrs. Wells, en route for bed. "A most enjoyable evening!" said Mrs. Garforth, yawning gracefully. Mrs. Wertheim reports the happenâ€" ing to the captain, and threatens to lay a charge against Bridget when the ship reaches Australia. Mark Salt is the only witness. Joyce, hiding a trifling indiszrretion of her own, gives Salt the impression that Bridget is apt to be a liar. But in South Africa, while the party are making a trip through Kruger Naâ€" tional Park, Bridget arouses Salt‘s adâ€" miration by attacking a poisonous snake bareâ€"handed, and saving his life. Later, aboard ship on the way to Ausâ€" tralia, a fellow passenger, wealthy Mrs. Wertheim, musses a pearl necklace; and in the presence of Mrs. Werth=eim and Salt, the necklace falls from the pocket of Bridget‘s jacket. Synopsis of Previous Chaptérs Bridget Brown is secretary to her wealthy aunt, Mrs. Garforth, on a world tour with her two spoiled daughâ€" ters, Joyce and Diana. Her aunt is a popular authoress, but her work is more remarkable for quantity than literary merit, and it is chiefly her secretary who is kept busy by these activities. The conductor of the tour is a former airman, Mark Salt, tough, reckless, handsome, and minus one arm owing to the air crash which put him out of aviation. / Joyce and Diana set their caps at him, while Bridget, shy and quiet, and always busy typing for Mrs. Garforth, is right out of the picture.

Bridget shrank into herself, thank{ul when the door shut again.. She drank a cup of coffee, leaving the food untouched, and there was another tap on the door. In came Joyce. "I cant say, Miss," said the man, obâ€" viously very much embarrassed. "Captain‘s orders, Miss!" her bedâ€" room steward came to tell her. "But he‘d be obliged if you‘d keep to your cabin until after the ship berths." ‘"Whenâ€"when will I go ashore?" asked Bridget. Bridget meanwhile had taken her frock back to Madame Dupre‘s cabin, and had fled from the innocent cheerâ€" fulness of that kind old lady. For the next halfâ€"hour he ranged from the purser‘s office to the main deck hatch, where the passengers‘ bagâ€" gage was rattling up out of the hold, doing everything possible to get his party ashore the moment the shi'p bertlhied, "She showed such courage with that snake!" said Sir Marcus. "Extraordinarily plucky, as you say!" Mark Salt nodded abruptly to the old man, gnd hurried on. _ Mark Salt smiled slightly, and made no reply. "Ah, yesâ€"yes! Most awkward!" Sir Marcus nodded, gazing at Salt under heavy lidded eyes. ‘"‘Miss Brown! Very scrange! There is a mistake. Do you believe that Miss Brownâ€"â€"?" "I think it would be best to get the rest of you out of Sydney while the matier is dealt with.

Why does he alter the tour, eh?2" To Salt himself, when he met him on the deck a moment later, Sir Marcus said in an undsrtone: Bridget went into her own cabin, and shut the door. She took off the lovely. blue frock, the loveliness of that best and worst evening of her life. She was treinbling uncontrollably. That was how they all were. No one except Mrs. Wertheim said that they disbelieved herâ€"or believed her. She was utterly alone ‘with this horrible implutation: ogainst her character.

"I had never seen the necklace until it fell out of my jacket!‘ Bridget asâ€" sured him, with tears in her eyes. "I don‘t wish to make any until T‘ve see my solicitor," said Bridget, but she couldn‘t refrain from adding: "Except that I know nothing about it!"

He told me to tell you not to make any statement to them." The ship which had been creeping in between theâ€"wharves, now came to a standstill. <~Bridget‘s cabin was on the water side; a steward «knocked and came in hurriedly to screw up the portâ€" hole. He went out, and in the new stillness, of the ship at rest, she heard voices outside the door. In a moment, Joyce came in. She seemed in breathless haste. "They‘ve put a steward out there to see :you; don‘t come out. ~â€" He didn‘t want me to come in, but I told him T‘d left some things in here. Mark sent Frank Byck Son "Mother is going to get in touch with a solicitor for you the moment they connect the shore telephone," Joyce told her. ‘"Mark is sending the party on to Mount Kosiusko, and he‘s going to stay in Sydney and see things through.

Joyce looked: at Bridget awltwardly, and added: ‘"For Heaven‘s sake, my dear, don‘t worry! It‘s sure to be all explained somehow!. I don‘t believe you didâ€"it for a momentâ€"I‘m perfectly sure you didn‘t!" ‘"Thank you," said Bridget, but her cousins kindness only had the effect of chilling â€"her with a fear that Joyce was fiying in the face of general opinâ€" ion.
