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

To make sure of getting 4 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 compounding. Ali cold
creams are made In the same way
The fatty substances are put In q
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 beater 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 tablespoonful
each of almond oil and rosewater, two
Tablespoonful each of white wax ant
spermaceti. teaspoonful Of tinctur,
of benzoin.
Melt the oil. then add the wax ant
spermaceti. and when nearly cold from
beating add the rosewater. drop b.
drop, then the benzoin.
Discarded cheese jars of porcelain
are nice to pack this cream in t
stiffen. Keep in a cool place. Put Il
small jars so that In use 1t does no
get germ filled by constant opening.

A Wandering Destiny
By MABEL CHASE ENGLAND


The country road, unshaded by tree
or shrub, stretched straight and dusty
under the burning August sun. A girl
In cool white came slowly out Of a
gateway, clicked the latch behind her
and stood gazing obviously at the
book and a box of chocolates; with
the other she raised her ruffled skirts
mile to the woods, a short walk
along shady path to the bank OF the
river, then-her canoe-the book
the chocolates, and
With sudden decision she stepped
into the road and began picking her
way gingerly along the edge. WSen
she reached the opening in the woods
where the path began she heaved an
immense sigh Of relief, but without
pausing kept steadily on till she
reached the bank of the river. There
she sank down on the log to which
her small canoe was moored, threw
Off her hat, and gasped.
"Phew!" she said. Il don't believe
I'd do that again
She sat few moments, her chin on
her hands, gazing out over the shad
ed river, then, stepping into her canoe
she arranged herself comfortable or
a pile of cushions, places the book
and the chocolates conveniently be
side her and pushed OF.
The air was brooding and somno
lent; the silence deep. She driftet
lazily-just a touch here and there

Nor was her chance to discover what
compelling characteristics lurked in

Novel Tunlc Effect.

A pretty idea for the finishing OF
tunic, especially one OF yelling or 9TH
err soft material. is to slash the tunic
in front, like an overskirt and knot
it loosely at each side, drawing it
away so as to show great part of
the underskirt up to the knees. The
knots are made about halfway from
the ankles and the tunic falls loosely
below them. OF course, it is caught
with few stitches in back. to keep II
