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
oils 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 a silver fork;
then add tinctures 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 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
Tablespoonful 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

stiffen. Keep in cool place Put in
small jars SO that in use 1t does not
get germ filled by constant opening.
