2 ounces of white wax.
2 ounces of rose water.
4 ounces of sweet almond oil.
Break up the wax, spermaceti, and cocoa butter. Put all the ingredients into a bowl, and place this in a pan of boiling water. Stir the mixture until it becomes a soft, smooth mass; then put it in little jars, and keep in a cool dry place. This is excellent for the hands and face. In winter use only one ounce of spermaceti.
Cupfuls, Half-pints, and Grills.
QUART MEASURE.
The ordinary kitchen cup is supposed to hold half a pint, and nearly all writers of cook-books base their measurements on this understanding. Nearly all first-class kitchen furnishing stores keep what are known as measuring cups. They are made of tin, and hold half a pint, old measure. One cup is divided into four parts, and one into three. A set of these cups will be found of the greatest value in the kitchen, as they insure accurate measurements.
Here is a table which will be helpful to those who do not have such cups to work with:—
| 1 cupful | = | 1/2 pint. |
| 1/2 cupful | = | 1 gill. |
| 1/4 cupful | = | 1/2 gill. |
