tional effect is produced by giving the
effect Of teeth being wanted, which as
first sight seems an almost impossible
thing to do. But in your "make-up''
you find your black enamel, with which
you paint over a couple Of teeth; in q
few minutes it sets and hardens, and
a most satisfactory and disagreeable
evidence of old age is the result. A
mode of attaching whiskers was the
old-fashioned one of hooking them on
to the ears But there is ain article
called 'crape hair" which is gummed
on to the cheeks, and when dry can
be trimmed and combed like real
whiskers. As regards the nose, there
is an elegant way OF treatment, name
ly, by fitting on a well modelled papier
mache one; but there is the more rough
and-ready mode of dealing with ii.
We read in one of the text books on
the subject the following grave direc-
tons: "In some low comedy Charac-
tiers, such as Bardolph, &C., it
is necessary to alter the shape
of the nose in order to give it
that bloated, blotchy appearance so
noticeable in drunkards. You must
first gun on to the end OF the nose a
piece OF wool, press it down to the
shape and size required, and then
powder it we'll with rouge to match
the rest of the nose and cheeks. The
cheeks may also be enlarged IN the
same way. The other, and perhaps
| the better way, isto take a little pow
der, mix it with water, and work it IN
to dough; fix it to the nose with spirit
gum, mold it to the shape and size re,
auired, and then powder it with rouge
| to match the cheeks, &c. Blotches,
warts, and pimples may be made by
sticking on small pieces OF wool ana
coloring them either brown or red
We may thus fancy our unhappy act-
or complete, his wooden stucKon
with gum, his eyebrows and whisSers
well glued to him, his black enameled
teeth, his cheeks plastered with rouge
white and lumber, his "bald wig las.

how he can find spirit or even ease y
