EYEBROWS AND LASHES.
Long, Sweeping Eyeiashes Protect the
Eye from Dust.

Eye from Dust.
1t is upon record that great beauties
in ancient days devoted much time to
the care of the eyelash and brow.
Some beauties do so nowadays, but
many a girl who has a pretty eye
could enhance it's attractiveness by a
little care. Long, sweeping eyelashes
have been admired by poets and lovers
from time immemorial and there is
certainly something pretty in the long
eyelash sweeping down on fair
cheek. Not only does it add to the
expression, but it is a greater safe
guard to the eye from dust and dan
gerous flying particles. If the tips
of the lashes be trimmed occasionally
and little vaseline or olive oil be put
upon them each night, the growth will
be aided very much. And then about
the eyebrow-how often women are
neglectful about it! Shakespeare tells
us how the lover has writ a "woeful
ballad to his mistress eyebrow" but
lovers in olden days were more appre-
CIdllN0 VI ILLS lCdlul . thSh eAASJ go
today. Eyebrows differ with every in
dividual, but if nature has not been
careful to provide one with those OF
perfect form, much can be done to help
matters. The eyebrow should extend
slightly beyond the orifice OF the eye
at each end. Toward the temple 1t
should terminate in q mere line and
it should be slightly broader at the
other end. Upon the peculiar arch and
the breadth of the eyebrow much de-
ponds. Delicate features require a
delicate brow, while face that is
strong in character requires a holder
one. Never pull hairs out Of the brow,
but rather try. by careful brushing,
to train them to grow as they should
A very little oil may be used on the
eyebrows to stimulate their growth,
but be careful not to use it often or
II may make them grow bushy.

brought the most fantastic on record
into play one night last week. Ny
family is away on visit at present,
and | am keeping bachelor hall out at
the house. On the night to which re-
fer l was aroused at about s a. IN. by
noise somewhere in the region of the
dining room, and, thinking I had shut
up the dog there, | jumped up very
| foolishly and came down stairs in my
nightclothes without so much as a
pocketknlfe.
when | opened the dining room
door, | was startled to see a big, rough
looking man bending over the side
| board at the far end of the room, and
after we had stood there en- tableau for
moment the fellow made a rush at
me. leaped back into the hall and
glared around for a weapon. On ia
BILE near by were a dozen incandescent
|
to replace some that had burned out,
and purely by instinct grabbed one Of
them and threw it at the burglar 1t
hit the door casing close to his head
and. to my amazement, exploded with
a noise like young lyddite shell.
q suppose it was a still greater sur
prise to the other fellow, for he let out
yell and broke for the rear, followed
by rapid fire bombardment of 16 can
die power incandescents, which | con
tinued to chuck at him as long as he
remained in range. They smashed
against the furniture with series of
crashes that alarmed the whole neigh
borhood, and | have been gathering up
fragments of broken glass ever since.

was chasing him with hand grenades.

they broke. An electrician tells me it
