Mingle in happy union in the exquisite
perfumes we carry. Scents are as difficult to
blend into harmony as sounds. It takes almost
as high an order of ability to make true per
fumes as is required to write good music.
^ No wonder so much of the perfume of
fered is rank, flat and unsatisfactory. If not
wholly pleased with the odors you are now
using, we would like to have you try some of
the delightful ones we handle. Cost you no
more than the poorer kinds.
