HOW MASKS ARE MADE.
Interesting Particulars Of n Thriving
Industry In sOuneberE,
Germany.

Paper masks are made by doubling
one sheet Of a specially prepared pa
per, wetting it and molding it by hand
over a face form; it is then dried by ar
tifcial heat. Openings are cut for eyes,
nose and mouth, and it is painted and
decorated by hand as desired, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The paper used by manufactures at
SOnnebeTg, Germany, where this is al
most the only industry, Is made In
Oeslau and Schleusingen, and costs at
present about 90 cents per $50 sheets
One sheet makes three Of the common
masks. The painting Of cheap masks
costs about y cents per gross, the
mOldfng Of face costs about cents
per gross. Packing is figured at about
three per cent, as the masks are rolled
In brown paper, the ends being folded
in to save string. The expenses are es-
timated at about IS per cent, leaving
the net profit 20 TO p per cent, as the
complete article sells at present at
about - cents per gross Last year the
masks sold for about one-third Of q
cent each, and next years price is ex-
pected to be q cents per gross
The cost Of raw paper next year, It
is estimated, wiz be higher, and there
win be an increase IN the cost Of paint
ing. The hair used for mustaehes, etc,
