Central Parks Annoying Police.
To the Editor:

TO the FdItor
There ought to be a halt called upon the po-
lice force who do duty In Central Park. Such
espionage and belittling spying as they practise

Of this communication will corroborate the expe-
rience here related OF a gentleman walking In the
Park being eyed and commented upon and even
followed by an oficer, with such remarks as:

perience. We often read Of arrests made OF gen.

Making Eyelashes.

1t was the Partisan women who were
accredited two or three years ago with
the Objectionable practice OF injecting
perfume under the skin. by which the
very blood became aromatic. and now to
them is ascribed another process. less
Objectionable, perhaps. but still very
questionable. 1t Is a method by which
false eyelashes may be made. A fine
needle, threaded with dark hair, Is
drawn through the skin of the eyelid,
forming long loops, and after the oper-
alton is over-which is said to be pain
less-there remains a beautiful fringe to
veil the wearer's eyes.
