drained from the cold water and laid

snapped into ribbons with the scissors,

In tiny circles with a tin cutter. In a
bowl was put half a teaspoonful Of salt,

stirred until the salt began TO melt.
A tablespoonful OF vinegar was slowly
added amid frantic stirring, which re-
duced the dressing to a slightly thick

this the beans were tossed until well
coated. The shredded lettuce was laid
on a platter. the beans heaped on IL. and
garnished with the cut beets and a few

How to Show OFF the Eyes.
Pretty eyes are made more expressive
by the style Of hair dressing. Eyes
show of best when the hair is dressed
back from the forehead. Large. clear
eyes. without establishment Of any sort
are charming. Don't try to make your
eyes bright by belladonna. It cannot be
done. There is a popular superstition
that belladonna makes the eyes shine
and many persons think the use Of this
drug is common among society women
and stage beauties.
AS a matter of fact, belladonna en-
larges the pupils Of the eyes and makes
them very sensitive to light II you
were 10 put II in your eyes you would
not be able to sec for several hours ex-
cept in a dim light and vaguely. The
only way to brigl,-ea the eyes is by TAX
ing good care Of them.
Expressive eyes are kind eyes. There
is much 10 be learned in how to use
the eyes. Women who roll the eyes sell
dom do il well. They roll them too far
upward and the result is not at all ef-
fective- To TOLL the eyes. II roll them
you must, you need only look upward.
Raise your eyes a little above the level
OF the top Of your head look at the wall
foot above your own level and you
VIII have rolled your eyes. There are
women who throw back the eyes into
the eye sockets until only the whites
of the eyes are visible when they want
TO be expressive. But they do not know
how very disagreeabIe a picture they
make.
Look without Browning.
TO use the eyes well. acquire the art
of looking out OF then clearly. without
scowling. Few women can use the eyes
without a frown. They look at you
and make awful grimaces. They scowl
and they wink one eye and they comfort
and distort until The eyes are completely
ruined as 10 their expression. Do not
do this Learn to look calmly out of
both eyes. Don't try 70 look out OF
one eye. nor with a frown. Use both
eyes.
Winking is seldom expressive. There
are women who wink prettily. But they
are very young The woman past
twenty should give up winking. 1t is
not becoming TO her. The girl of eight
cen can wink. and. maybe. 1t will pass
for coquettishness. But the girl who
is q little older would do well not to at
tempt II.
There are eyes that would be pretty
were they not ruined by eye sacs under
the eyes. These are the result of dis

Fancy Lemonades.
Plain lemonade has many variations,
two Of the most popular being. perhaps,
iced tea and raspberry lemonade In
making the latter add about three table
spoonfuls of good raspberry juice and
shake up with powdered ice the same

made to the proportion of about one
third claret poured into the tumbler first,
to be followed by the juice of one small
lemon. plenty of sugar. ice and lastly,

sweet of themselves will need less sugar.

Let's Build
This Matter DeVerves More Attention in
Aundraln County " ~ 81 @

j. Ward King, the road drag"
fanatic, writing of rock road build
ing says:
l am persuaded that many local
tiles in Missouri are enduring the
worries, expenses and other disad-
vantages that adhere to mud roads
because they honestly believe they
are not able to better themselves.
The conviction that progress is
possible must first exist before any
attempt at progress will be made.
1t certainly is unfortunate that the
mistaken idea that macadamized
roads are impossible prevails in
so many communities. Some folks
seem to have a notion that unless
the fields are covered with stone,
rock is too scarce for road build
ing. l will be dogmatic for a mo
ment and assert, as a general prop
osition that a macadamized pike is
possibility wherever land is
worth $50 per acre and rock can
he obtained within two and one
half miles of the proposed road.
Not all of the roads, of course, nor
perhaps even half the mileage, but
the main thorofares.
Permit me few moments in
support of my position. While
visiting in Alabama last summer |
saw rock road building at a cost
of So, 200 per mile where the best
land was priced at only $25 to $50
per acre. Moreover, in my opin.
ion, the roads they were building
were far heavier and wider than
the travel demanded, and there
fore much more expensive than
necessary. But the people there
have been educated to see the ad-
vantages of the stone road. Please
do not think ! am speaking of g
radically progressive community.

tered hat and steps off the side

is the rule. The old style bull
