Eyebrows and LasheS.

Never cut or trim the eyebrows. Their
beauty includes dellcacy-delicaoy in
curve, width and texture. Trimming
them destroys this by causing them to
grow coarse, stiff and wild" To get the
we'll defined, narrow arch many beauties
pinch the eyebrows after amounting them
with oil to make the hair glossy. A stray
wiry or gray hair may be removed with
tweezers, but should never be cut. On the
other hand, eyelashes are cultivated by
clipping them once year. Hairdressers
call 1t topping" them, and the term Is
pertinent. Only the irregular tip ends
should be cut, and this can only be done
by another. Cutting the lashes weekens
the eyes. Remember that.-New York

holds her, as 1t does the French girl, In
close, watchful grip, which does not relax
until after matrimony. But on the man
no such restraints are thrown. He Is loose
to look after himself at an age when girls
have not put up their hair and been fitted
with their first decollete gown.
1t Is true that this process has it's effect
on young married women In the sudden
freedom from restraint and the entire
change Of life which 1t brings to them,
but by that time their physical habits are
formed, and they have their growth.-St.

What Of WOman'S Future7

Several scientists have recently written
articles to prove that within a century
women will be taller, heavier and stronger
than men, and that the position toward
women that men have occupied in the past
will be almost reversed. The developments
of the last half century do to a certain ex-
tent point in the direction Of this theory.
It Is not so many years since the sight OF q
woman walking with a man shorter than
herself attracted attention so much that
both the short man and the tall woman
were reluctant to appear in public. Now
the sight is so common that on any fash
ionable thoroughfare many, If not half,
the women are taller than the men.
The modern girl has none Of the bad
habits Of the modern man. She does not
drink cocktails, smoke incessant olga
rettes, play poker until all hours OF the
night and engage In the modern forms or
dissipation. She ls too closely watched for
chat. The system oe advanced chaperonage

Few women, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch, know how to lace corset so as to
obtain perfect figure. The idea OF cor
set Is support and not harness. A big
corset that squeezes in and congresses the
flesh gives false impression Of the French
ideal. A characteristic Of the true French
figure Is its soft, graceful lines. The waist
is as tightly laced as possible, but there Is
little corset below and less above the waist
line. and 80 the beautiful lines Of the fe-
