is  all  that  is  needed  :

Some  may  prefer  a  larger  proportion  of  menthol ;  but  don't  over- 
look the  fact  that  too  much  will  irritate  the  eyes  unduly  when  it  is 
applied  to  the  face  and  head. 
LAVENDER  WATER. 
This  article  is  not  as  popular  as  it  deserves  to  be,  owing  perhaps 
to  variations  in  lavender  oils.  No  oil  is  more  variable  than  this,  it 
being  listed  all  the  way  from  50  cents  to  $16  per  pound. 
The  sample  was  made  with  an  oil  costing  $1.65  per  pound.  A 
finer  oil  would  not  need  the  oil  of  orange  to  soften  it.

Many  formulas  direct  oil  of  rose  to  soften  the  lavender,  but  neroli 
has  a  much  finer  effect  and  makes  the  lavender  more  fragrant.

the  foregoing,  or  the  following,  which  is  a  little  less  pronounced  in 
lavender  odor,  may  be  preferred  :
