THURSDAY, APRIL i8, i94o Her first and favorite scent Inâ€" discret is in a plaster Paris taperâ€" ing flagon with rose and fern decorâ€" ations curved around the body of the bottle. In her collection of over ~30 perfumes, which Miss Minorini says is only in its infancy, there is not one which has not been used. And if there is enough of each, she likes to mix them. And when she hits on a good formula, she tries to remember the ingredients. _ use, will not burn. 2â€"bushel bag only 2.33 delivered.

Perfume gives her a necesâ€" gives all the credit for breaking into the 200 column to "Bond street." Miss Minorini has many fragile essences captured in tiny flagons and bottles, as she makes their colâ€" lection her hobby, a pastime (or should we say passion) of a year‘s Asked how she started her gatherâ€" ing of likable smells, she counters with the question, "Don‘t you like perfume?" And no woman, or man for that matter, can resist. When she worked in her father‘s bakery, a frequent visitor there always used such fragrant essences that Helen began to notice the variations even in as sweetlyâ€"scented a place as a Indiscret in a fourâ€"ounce container of glass blown with spiderâ€"web efâ€" feet, Chanel‘s "cuir de Russie" (Russian leather) an eau de cologne with exactly thatâ€"a leather smell, green cooling cologne, glace. Most expensive is "My Sin," a Lanvin extract, with gold twine about the neck and black cameoâ€"like top. . As if the bottles and scents themâ€" selves were not intriguing enough, the names are also provocative of investigation. "L‘Amant‘" meaning the "lover" has a magnet stamped on each eau de cologne or eau de toilette.

Helen follows perfume auctions, clips stories from newspapers tellâ€" ing of new creations, and goes on "eyeâ€"dropper" tours of the counâ€" ters in downtown Chicago. Once in a secondâ€"hand store she picked up an empty bottle, got a pretty good idea of the product once in it by its fragrance, and so bought "Toujours Moi." A German product, "Tosca" has German scrawled on the goldâ€"red top. ‘"Yesteryear" is in the shape of a bride, carrying a bouquet of pink and blue flowers, a gold pillâ€" box on her head. "Deviltry" is in a squat cutâ€"glass bottle. "Mon Imâ€" age," Whisper, which is just that, and "Opening Night" are found in a "penthouse" ensemble. Helen can spot different kinds of scents women wear. She is always on the lookout for new ones, and in due time the prices are down to her level, fon ghe finds her hobby exâ€" pensive. A lot of them, Helen exâ€" plains, smell alike. "Jabot" in a bottle tied in a bow, and Schiaparâ€" elli‘s latest in a bust shape are the two currently the apple of her eye. "Confetti" interests her too. And so it goes. One day when they are empty she plans to fill them with colored water for her bedroom. But yes, she‘s completely feminine in that, and discriminating too in her choices, we‘d judge. Other enthusiasms of hers are bowling, already listed, horseâ€"back riding, Petty drawings, opera. Her home is on Everts place, Highwood. e Notes ( The North Shore Area council headquarters has announced this week that the spring trip to Camp Maâ€"Kaâ€"Jaâ€"Wan for scout leadâ€" ers is to be May 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

Spring is coming! The woods may be bare, and the robin, fat from his sojourn in the south, may huddle miserably on a black branch; it may even snow before night, nevertheless we know that spring is just a round the corner. The fires of summer, the fires of life, are never entirely out; they are only banked under the cold and the snow, and are quick to burst forth on the first shining, balmy days of spring. There are so many things we shall soon see. Have you the eyes to see, the ears to listen or the heart to absorb? GAS RANGE 99.50 Who is your messenger of spring? Is it the silvery, downâ€"like pussyâ€" willow, or the bluebird? Perhaps it is the skunk cabbage abloom in the swamp, or the vibrant music of Mr. Frog around the shallow ponds in the vicinity, or maybe it is a woolly caterpillar crawling slowly along a stripe of bright sunshine in your garden? We already see the swollen buds of the trees; aren‘t you interested in knowing them? We hear the songs of birds returning from their winter quarters, and a new note in the chirps of our stationary birds. Aren‘t you delighted with the sounds, and wouldn‘t you like to be able to distinguish them? We shall soon see the brave pioneers of the first flowers break through the ground and push up to catch the warmth of the sunshine.
