CARE OF THE EYEBROWS.

The beauties OF old, Helen of Troy and
Cleopatra notably were famous for the
beauty OF their eyes, and no doubt they
devoted much time TO their care Some
beauties do nowadays, but many a girl
who has pretty eye could enhance its
attractiveness by a little care. Long,
sweeping eyelashes have been admired by
poets and lovers from time immemorial,
and there Is certainly something very
beautiful and seductive In the long eye
lash sweeping down on a velvet cheek.
Not only does II add TO the expression,
but IL Is a greater safeguard to the eye
from dus; and dangerous flying particles.
= .ttle rsseIine or olive oil be put
upon the lashes .ach night the growth
will be aided very much.
And then about the eyebrows. How often
women are perfectly neglected. about
them. Shakespeare tells us how the
lover. signing like furnace. has writ
''wocful ballad to his mistress eyebrow. !"
but lovers in oldsn days were more APP
preciauve Of this feature than they are
today.
Eyebrows differ with every individual.
bat II nature has not been careful to pro-
vide one with those Of perfect form
much can be done 20 help matters. The
eyebrow should extend slightly below the
orihce OF the eye at each end Toward
the temple Il should terminate in a mere
line and u should be slightly broader at
the other end
Upon the peculiar arch and the breadth
OF the eyebrow much depends. Delicate
features require a delicate brow, while a
face that IL strong in character requires
a holder one Never pull hairs out OF the
bow, but rather try by careful brushing
to train them TO grow as you wish IL
You Will try brushing Your eyebrows In
different directions you VIII see lust how
the hair should grow in order to suit
your eye best and then you should be
careful always 10 brush tt the same way
A very little OH may be used but be
careful not 10 use It often, or 1t may
make them grow bushy.
