Heat the rose water, without allowing it to boil, in a glazed earthenware vessel, add the carmine, previously rubbed fine, to the hot rose water, and stir the fluid with a clean wooden spatula until the carmine is completely divided. Then take the vessel from the fire and add a tablespoonful of spirits of sal ammoniac. The latter imparts to the rouge a brighter red, but not too much of it should be used, as otherwise the rouge acquires a bluish shade, and besides the odor of the spirits of sal ammoniac is not exactly agreeable. When the rouge is cold add 1 lb. of _Extrait de rose_, mix the whole intimately, and filter through white filtering paper into a clean glass bottle. The rouge has to be protected from sunlight. _White liquid paint._--Fine zinc-white 3 lbs., rose water or orange water 3½ quarts. In a clean enamelled vessel boil the zinc-white in 5 quarts of distilled water, stirring constantly, until about 3 quarts of the water are evaporated. Then take the vessel from the fire and allow the fluid to stand quietly for ½ hour. Then carefully decant off the supernatant water, pour the 3½ quarts of rose water or orange water upon the zinc-white, stir thoroughly, and fill in bottles. _Fat paints._--Fat paints of various colors and shades are prepared chiefly for the use of actors. The ground mass consists of _Blanc fard_ or _Blanc français_, or simply of pulverized talc bolted through silk. It is colored, according to the color desired, with carmine, eosin, sienna, lamp black, or aniline colors, and incorporated in the proportion of 1½ ground mass to 1 fatty mass, with the fatty mass consisting of white wax 3 parts and olive oil 7 parts; _or_ paraffin 1½ parts and white vaseline 2 parts. The fatty mass is melted in the water-bath, the powder stirred in, and after allowing the mixture to cool somewhat, it is perfumed and poured into tin tubes previously slightly warmed. Besides the above-mentioned _fat paints in sticks_, there are also _fat paints in porcelain boxes_, which are of a somewhat softer consistency. They are prepared in white, rose color, and yellowish. A few receipts for them are as follows:-- _Crême de Lys._--Melt 3½ ozs. of spermaceti and 7 ozs. of white wax in the water-bath, and after taking the mass from the fire mix it with 3⅕ lbs. of subnitrate of bismuth, previously rubbed fine, with 1⅘ lbs. of almond oil. Then allow to cool somewhat, next stir until entirely cold, and perfume. _Crême de rose._--Spermaceti 3½ ozs., white wax 7 ozs., _Blanc Français_ 3⅕ lbs., carmine 8¼ drachms, almond oil 1-4/5 lbs. Proceed as directed for _crême de lys_. INDEX.
