The word “perfume”
actually comes from the
Latin words “per” and
“fumus” meaning “through
smoke.”

‘The burning. of fragrant
woods, ‘and barks was the,
first method of creating a
distinctive fragrance as ‘far.
back as 5,000 BC; during
religious and festive cere-

monies and: for ‘personal .

adornment of the high born.
As smoke rose toward the

that the gods would be able
to smell the pleasant aroma
and thus direct their
favorable attention below to

them. Since then perfumes

have been purchaséd and

given as “gifts of love”
throughout the world by men
and women.

Today, perfumes are
bought by loving people
because they know that to

Children who give perfume

‘Some religions ‘frown

incense, has been the back-

bone of worship and is still

Where should one apply
perfume? Remember, scent

your whole body and

Many women pat a dab of
perfume only behind their
ears, making their hair smell
‘delicious but all too soon it
evaporates high above their
heads. It must be worn on
the body.

’ As a general rule, apply

perfume on . use spots;

Ever ask a child, “What's
your favorite flavor?”
Chances are he or she will
answer “yellow” or “red.”

_Its true that ‘we associate

color with certain tastes.
Colorful meals also add to
ovr dining pleasure. After
all, who would want to sit
down to a plate of grey food?

The trouble comes if we
grow up still basing our food
choices simply on what looks
pretty — even if we know we
shouldn’t eat it. Like my
friend.Nancy, who admits, “I
can pass up my hostess tray
of goodies without giving
them a second thought —
unless there are colored
sprinkles on the . cookies.
Then I just ‘have to have
one.”

Or Julie, a young. mother
of two, who confides: “It's
all the holidays! When each
one comes along, I feel like
putting blinders on when I
pass stores. Rainbow candy,
pastel jelly beans — I could
go on, but you get the
picture. It all looks so nice

Suburbia

‘ot t's my eyes, and
aot my ‘stomach, that really
does the: wanting. Un-
fortunately, my stomach
contributes
gaining.”

Of course, we're not going
to blindfold ourselves when
we sit down to eat. And, 'm
not suggesting to Nancy or
Julie — or to you — that
color be banished from
the table. Instead, as you
follow a weight-loss
program, use your senses of
color and taste to your
advantage. Do you just love
orange? The go straight to
the source! Imagine
breaking into a ripe, juicy
orange. Can't you. almost
taste it now? And what treat
could be more elegant than a
dish of brilliant red
strawberries, just washed, or
a glistening bunch of purple
grapes?

Some time ago, I gave a
party and decided to serve
something different. I make
crudites (that’s French for
raw vegetables). The platter
contained an arrangement of
yellow ‘zucchini, green
broccoli, red cherry toma-
toes and white cauliflower,
with a dip made of plain
yogurt flavored with herbs,
on the side. I listened for, my
guests’ reactions.

They were astounded!
‘They were unanimous: “I
never knew vegetables could
