Poudre des Fees.

One ounce Lubin's rice powder.
One ounce best, purest oxide of zinc.
One-half ounce carbonate of magne-
STA Finely powdered).
Twenty grains bOracic acid.
Two drops altar of roses.
When purchasing your ingredients, ask
your druggist to powder each separately
in mortar. First put your rice powder
through a fine sieve and then through
boiling cloth. Do the same thing with the
oxide of zinc, the magnesia and the bo-
racic acid before adding them to the rice
powder. When all are combined put
twice through boiling cloth. After each
sitting throw away any particles that re-
main. 1t is very necessary that all the
ingredients be made fine and soft and
downy. Add the altar of rose last.
If You desire a creamy tint to your pow
der, add the tiniest suggestion of finely
powdered carmine. If you wish to have
a rose or pink tint. add still more. Per-
sons with a pale complexion should use
fieshcolored powder. those with ford
skins should use white, while cream will
be found the most acceptable for bEu-
nettes. A little rose water rubbed lightly
over the face before powdering will make
the powder adhere more closely.

Calves are stunted in the late sum-
