SUPERIOR COLD CREAM. Melt together one drachm of spermacetti, the same quantity of white wax, and two fluid ounces of oil of almond; while these are still warm, beat up with them as much as they will absorb.

PASTE FOR RENDERING THE SKIN SUPPLE AND SMOOTH (AN ENGLISH RECIEPT). Mix half a pound of mutton or goose fat well boiled down and beaten up well with two eggs, previously whisked with a glass of rose-water; add a table-spoonful of honey, and as much oatmeal as will make it into a paste. Constant use of this paste will keep the skin delicately soft and smooth.
