FACE MASK.
A capital plan is the old-fashioned dough mask. Roll a piece of dough out thin, and spread over your face. Mrs Langtry says that for rough, wrinkley or dry skin pieces of beef steak cut very thin and bound on at night are excellent. Or you can make a face mask after this recipe : Grate a little alum, put what you can lay on a threepence into one teaspoonful of rose water, then beat it together. It will make a soft curd. Cover the face with it at night and put over it a piece of soft thick cloth or chamois leather which cau be fastened by means of strings, and has places cut for the eyes, nose and mouth.
