Madame Patti's Beauty Treatment
Dear Aunt Daisy, I was interested in the recipes for home-made hair pomade, printed in a recent Listener, and intend to try these later on, as they are so simple to prepare. What I would like is a good recips for home-made cold cream, Some years ago, I read an article written about Madame Patti, in which (Continued on next page)
(Continued from previous page) it stated that she always made her own cold cream. Madame Patti carried a small spirit lamp about with her for this purpose. : As far as I can remember, she melted a small quantity of mutton fat, then added as much glycerine as the fat would absorb, and a small quantity of rose water for perfume. I think these were the only ingredients. | If any of your readers know of a better recipe, would you please answer through The Listener, as we do not get
your session here.-

Very interesting, indeed, but I think in these days it is easier to choose one of the several good face creams, made by : firms of unimpeachable integrity. At the same time, many people use plain Almond Oil, both as a cleanser and as a powder base. The cold cream you describe is excellent for chapped hands.
