          Application 08/119,058                                                      


          esters of                                                                   
          fatty alcohols of chain length C  to C , (c) from about 5 to12    22                                    
          20% by weight of triglycerides of palmitic, stearic,                        
          hydroxystearic, or behenic acid, (d) from about 20 to 40% by                
          weight of mono- and/or diglycerides of palmitic, stearic,                   
          hydroxystearic, or behenic acid, (e) from about 5 to 20% by                 
          weight of fatty acids or                                                    


          hydroxyl fatty acids of the chain lengths C  to C , and (f)16     22                        
          from 0 to about 30% by weight of microcrystalline paraffins                 
          having a melting range of from about 70EC to 72EC (column 1,                
          line 56, through column 2, line 5).  Scheuffgen exemplifies                 
          such a substitute beeswax composition comprising glyceryl                   
          trihydroxystearate and glyceryl monohydroxystearate, and                    
          having  an iodine number of 4.5 (column 5, example VIIIa,                   
          Table 1).

          require that the fat composition consists of both glyceride                 
          system A and glyceride system B.  On this record, the examiner              
          does not point
