Lavender flowers one ounce, pulverized orris, two drachms, bruised

rosemary leaves half ounce, musk five grains, attar of rose five

drops. Mix well, sew up in small flat muslin bags, and cover them with

fancy silk or satin.

These are very nice to keep in your bureau drawers or trunk, as the

perfume penetrates through the contents of the trunk or drawers. An

acceptable present to a single gentleman.
