A random turn brings us to page 75, "On the Scent of Beauty":
Spray air-conditioners with cologne for scented fresh air.
Spray your ironing board with fragrance before pressing blouses, handkerchiefs, scarves, and curtains.
Use cologne on your hair as a quick wave set.
A gentle rubbing of cologne on tired feet will refresh them on a hot summer day.
Spray cologne on artificial flowers. (!)
Spray padded clothes hangers with cologne.
Use perfumed candles to set the mood for a party.
I've been teaching my little granddaughter about perfume, and have given her an atomizer to play with. But she's been told not to spray the boy she plays with in the park. And I suggest that if you have a little boy, you don't encourage him to fool around with your perfume. We're having enough trouble with boys as it is.

I have choice scans on my flickr, but I'll send it to you if you want!
I got a headache just reading that page. She must have bought the stuff by the vat.
Note to Virginia regarding "troubles" with little boys: Playing with perfume ain't the cause.
Well, if the boy not only likes to play with perfume, but also is glued to the set whenever "Girl Talk" comes on, there may be a problem...
