stunted eyelsshes and eyebrows. To

drachms of nitric oxide of mercury,
mixed with one OF leaf lard. After an
application wash the roots with q

If commenced in youth thick lips
may be reduced by conn r ssion, and
thin, linear ones are easily modified
by suction. This draws the blood
to the surface. and produces at
first temporary and later permanent
il fiation. 1t Is a mistaken belief that
biting lips reddens them. The skin
| Of the lips is very thin. Rendering
them extremely susceptible to organic
arrangement, and IL the atmosphere
does not cause chaps or parchment the
result of such harsh treatment will
develop into swelling or the forma-
ton of scars.
All hands cannot be made beautiful,
but all can be well kept. Red hands
may be ercom by soaking the feet
In not water. If the skin is hard and
dry use tar OF oatmeal soap; saturate
them with gIycsrine and yea gloves
in bed. They should never be put in
hot water. and should be washed no
oftentr than is necessary. There are
Edo-sns Of women with soft, white
hands who dopot put them in water
| once a month. Rubber gloves are
worn in making the toilet, and they
are cared for by an ointment OF
glycerine and rubbed dry with cha
mois skin or cotton flannel. Much OF
the beauty OF the hands is attached to
the nails. They should be filed, never
cut, and by no means bitten. Trim
them low On the corners and around

a weli-proportioned nail loosen the
fl esh all around by running the iBstru-
ment under the skin. If the fingers
lack the proper taper, use nail thimb'
les or bind the flesh in with fine siIken
threads. The nail should be polished
with emery, or brought to a glow by
friction.
There are many dangerous and Gun
ming devices fer Frightening the eyes,
but it is a practice more largely indulg.
ed in than most people are aware of.
Belladonna is still used, and many
giddy young women and some older
Eopes too, will risk their sight to obtain
that fascinating brilliancy by inserting
a drop of bitter almonds or placing a
tnfabler of water fumigated with prus'
sic acid near the eye for q few mo-
ments. Some squeeze lemon juice on

eipe consists Of loaf sugar saturated
with camphor OF cologne, and eaten
