contracting shade or colored kid which
will also harmonic with the suit. Per-
sian effects are gained by the use OF
bits of black kid and embroidery cloth.
EyeIet work may be simulated by ap-
piled eyelets (do not cut the kid out
as it weakens the belt and causes 1t
to stretch in awkward nnes) outlined
with floss or tiny steel beads. The
daintiest belts can be made from the
white suede thiclklY studded with mock
Jewels and embroidery, and worn with
black or white gowns the effect Is par
ticularly good. The cutest little straps
of kid stretched with heavy silk in the
same or contrasting color and studded
with several small or one large metal
button may be utilized to give smart
touch to the golf skirt or scarlet vest
Remodel the Old white cloth skirt by
making 1t into a modiSh evening jacket

net, richly decorated with an applied
design cut from scraps OF white kid
The arm part OF the gloves Is carefully
ripped open at the seam, stretched and
pinned out smoothly on an even sur
face and cleaned with magneSia rubbed
on with a white wooden rag Then, by
the aid OF paper patterns Of the cor

without the waste of material
MASSAGING A SCAR (Madeline)-
The scar on the face resulting from
lancing an abscess on the lower jaw
can be made less conspicuous by a daily
system of massage as soon as the
wound Is perfectly healed The deep
indentation which you fear will result
from the flesh adhering TO the bone at
the point Of puncture and to prevent
this exercise is absolutely necessary
This keeps the tissues free and by u.s.
inS a pure skin food in connection with
the massage the wasted tissues will be
built up and normal color more quickly
restored. To reach the minor tissues
and thus counteract the tendency to
fasten to the bone the rotary move
ment Is most valuable, finishing it with
a gentle picking up OF the flesh be-
tween the thumb and fingers to tone
up the relaxed muscles. Anoint the
scar with the skin food. always pre-
ceding this treatment by a warm face
bath, and with the finger tips per-
form a rotary movement over the jaw
bone, starting from the center Of the
chin up to the temple, bestowing extra
care on the scar. Then repeat, plac-
ing the fingers a trif1e higher up, con-
tinuing until the entire cheek has been
gone over several times, terminating
each time at the temple; then resort to
the gentle kneading and picking up or
the flesh. Several times daily you may
gently knead the tissues by placing the
finger on the scar and moving 1t from
side to side Three or four revolutions
each time will be sufficient.
TREATING BUSHY EYEBROWS
(Eudora). ).-Eyebrows that are so dark
and bushy that they give an ugly,
scowling expression to the face are
certainly distressing, but think you
can do much to render them more en-
durable by careful training. They
should never be touched with oil un-
less absolutely necessary; should they
be very stiff a trif1e OF oil will do no
harm. The daily application. during
years, of pomades and similar sub
stances has rendered your eyebrows ir-
regular and promoted rapid growth.
for every tiny hair has been overnour-
ished. There are two effective ways Of
restoring the contour Of the brows.
