EYELAsHEs RENEWED.
How the Latest Personal Adonment Is
Accomplished.


Trahsplantlng eyebrows is the latest
thing in the way Of personal ndornment
Only the brave and rich can patronize the
new method at present, for. besides be
ing painful and costly, It takes long
time TO accomplish II.
In Paris and London. says womnns Life,
there are specialists who make handsome
living out Of the process Of transporting
hair from the head TO the eyebrows or
cyelnshes. The specialist works by put.
ting In, not on, the new eyclashcs and
brows wherever they are absent or grow
thin, and so cunning is he IN his work
that not even the closest scrutiny can de
tect amy difference.
BY means Of the new process, II is said.
eyes which are of ordinary times only
passable become langushng in their OK.
preston. while eyes which were previous.
~ considered fine have their beauty much
enhanced.
This is the way new evelashes are put
in: IN ordinary fine needle Is threadel
with long hair. generally taken from the
head OF the person TO he operated upon.
The lower border OF the eyelid is then
thoroughly cleaned, and, in order that the
process may he as painless as poss BILE,
rubbed with solution Of cocaine The op.
orator then, by a few sklllful touches runs
bis needle through the extreme edges OF
the eyelld between the epldcrmiS and the
lower border OF the cartilage Of the tragiis.
The needle passes in and out along tho
edges Of the lid. leaving Its hair thread
In loops Of carefully graduated length.
When this has been done another ana
another length Of hair Is sewed through
the I'd, until finally there are a dozen OF
more loops projecting BY this time the
effect Of the cocaine has been lost, and
the operator Is Obliged to deslst and put
Of the further sewing OF hair for an.
other sitting.
The noxt step In the process is cutting
off and trimming the ends OF the loops
and the result is a line, thick. long set OF
eyelashes 1t is the finishing touch that
is TO come that makes them look like ma
lures own. When they are first cut they
stick out In the most singular fashion
giving the person operated upon the mos
uncanny look. The operators next steT
Is to take curling tongs, made OF silver
aud no larger than knitting needles, ant
to give them the curve which Is essential
TO perfect beauty. Then the eyes are
carefully bandaEed and kept so until til,
following day.
Most OF the hairs that have been trans
planted take root and grow, but few
OF them fall out and have to be ATTENDED
to. For the first month It Is necessary t,
curl the new eyelashes every day. bu
after that they become properly asslmllat
ed and 1t is not necessary to give then
further attention
Eyebrows are doctored in the same way
