To Perfume Toilets.

SWEET Toilets may be prepared of two sorts, the first which differs no∣thing from the lining of the Perriwig∣boxes, is thus prepar'd. Take as much Silk or Stuff as you will have your Toilet, stretch it on a Frame, lay over it a Bed of Cotton perfum'd, and the Powder over the Cotton, cover it with what Silk you will, and Quilt it. If the out-side of your Silk was not thick enough to endure the Preparation you rub it with, add to that Composition some of the Millefleur-water, have a sufficient quan∣tity of Cotton to soak it, then dry it, and lay a Bed very thin, and even all over your Powder, or in many places, and cover it all with your Silk well quilted, and your Toilet is done.
