TO COMPOUND COLD CREAM
Recipe for Most Valuable Toilet Prep.
aration Which Can BE Made
at Home.

To make sure of getting a cold
cream in which there are no animal
Goils many women like to compound
their own massage creams.
They often fail to get results from
good recipe by not understanding
the art of compromising. All cold
creams are made In the same way.
The fatty substances are put In
double boiler and melted, stirring
constantly. When all are melted turn
out in bowl and stir. scraping down
from sides.
The chief trouble comes In adding
the extracts and astringents, which
must be added gradually when the
fatty base is partially cold. Add first
any perfumed water, drop by drop,
beating constantly with silver fork:
then add tincturcs or extracts last OF
all. These go in drop by drop also.
A fiat wire egg beaten can be used
successfully when large amount OF
the mixture is being made up and one
woman swears by a mayonnaise mixer
for compromising her toilet creams.
Here is a recipe that can be used
freely without fear of becoming beard
ed or fuzzy: Eight tablespoonfuls
each of almond oil and rosewater, two
tablesponfuls each of white wax and
spermaceti. a teaspoonful of tincture
of benzoin.
Melt the oil, then add the wax and
spermaceti, and when nearly cold from
beating add the rosewater. drop by
drop, then the benzoin.
Discarded cheese jars of porcelain
are nice to pack this cream in to
stiffen. Keep in a cool place. Put in
small jars so that in use it does not
get germ filled by constant opening

New YorK.-"To my mind children

This is the opinion of DR.. Amelia M.
Fender, who for the past few years
has been connected with the women's

Mount Sinai hospital, and has made a
special study of New York people. DR..

health it becomes" said DR.. Fender.
sFheir one great idea is to make mon

to another person.
They are continually on the go from

WOMEN CARRY BIsQUE DOLLS
Latest Fad Among Fashionable Set
Of Paris Is to Take "Babies" to
Entertainments.

New York.-Fashionable women

winter.
The fad is an importation from
Paris, where for month women have
been carrying large bisque dolls in the
salons at social occasions and on the
streets in automobiles
The first importations of dolls to
enable American women to copy the
curious Partisan fad arrived here ten
days ago. They were brought over
by three fashionable Fifth avenue
establishments the heads of which be-
lieved they could start the style in
the country. Since that time several
hundred dolls have been sold to WON.

when buying them stated that they
intended to further the fashion OF
dolls for grown-up people.
The dOlls-all girl "babies "-are
sold at from $65 to $125 each. They
are eighteen inches high and are
dressed in the latest Partisan clothes
of the finest materials.
The establishments keeping them
make extra clothes at prices ranging
upward from $25. The only differ
ence between these dolls for grown,

that the Partisan dolls are manufac.
