9.—BANDOLINE.
A French recipe, is excellent—because it is harmless—to use in dressing hair to keep back any refractory locks.
Recipe. Simmer one ounce of quince seed in a quart of water, forty minutes; strain cool, add a few drops of scent, and bottle, corking tightly.
Another way of making “Bandoline” is with Iceland moss. Take a quarter of an ounce, boiled in a quart of water, and a little rectified spirits added, so that it may keep.
A weak solution of isinglass is the only curling fluid that is harmless.
