......But not before I mention a discovery a friend of mine has just told me about who runs Kirby Beards, if you know Paris, you may remember that very swell shop in the Rue Scribe, just opposite the American Express. He has brought back from Germany some little contraptions which they call "scent-o-laters," which are elaborate and beautiful paste clips and two-piece brooches, fitted with an inner phial, in which you put your favourite perfume which evaporates, at just the right degree of strength, for about a fortnight!
