Shades That Should Be Worn BY
Brunettes-Soft Tones for
Auburn Haired Woman.

Not one woman In ten realizes the i'm

careful study Of one particular color most

dress.
The auburn-haired woman looks best In

The woman whose hair Is 3 duh brown

Industrial EDUCATION OF nus
TRAN GIRLS.
They Are Famous for Their Skill
With the Knitting Needle.

Austrian girls are carefully taught in
school until they are 10 years old. They
are not during this time kept entirely out
of society. but are dressed with the great
est simplicity, never wearing a silk gown
until they have left school and attended
their first ball.
On leaving the sehoolroom they have one
or two years training in the kitchen and
pantry. either by some member OF their
own family or under a trained cook in
another's house.
Though they may never be required to
cook for themselves. they know exactly
how everything should be done, and long
before they set up housekeeping on their
own account are competent to take charge
Of a household. They make most affection
ate wives and mothers, says Womans
Life.
An Austrian lady is said to be as &C.
complished and learned as an English gov
erness. as good a cook and housekeeper
as a German. as bright and witty in So
ciety as a Partisan and as handsome as
an American. In Vienna are found some
of the most beautiful women In Europe.
Austrian girls are brought up in habits
of industry. and are rarely seen without
some kind Of work In hand. They are
famous for their great piles OF linen. a
certain number OF yards Of which are ey-
cry year from a girls birth woven and
laid aside for her marriage portion.

time In knitting for their grandchildren.

WRITTEN FOR TIE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
There are few but long for expressive
eyes.
In fact the eyes make the face. or come
pretty nearly doing so. and without nice
eyes you cannot be very pretty.
The beauty OF the eyes depends upon sew
eral points. the most conspicuous OF which
is size.
Unless the eyes are large they can never
be very expressive.
How can make my eyes larger?" This
Is c question which is frequently asked.
To make the eyes larger seems an almost
impossible task.
Yet II can be done.
II does not require a surgical operation.
for this would inture the eyes and per-
haps ruin the sight, yet there is q be-
lief that surgery is required.
There are strange tales told Of cutting
the corner OF the eyes in childhood to
make them larger and II is said that this
IS a custom in the East in order that girl
may grow beautiful for the hsrem.
But there Is not a word Of truth IN the
tale.
Eyes are not made larger in this man
nsF.
II you are thin your eyes are probably
prominent
Your eye sockets are in proportion to
your face and your eyes are full and pref
~. But II you are fat your eyes are
small.
Fat crowds the eyes and makes them
look eTampe6.
Pudgy fat eyes are those that are sur
rounded by bags Of flesh The fat crowds
them and makes them into tiny twinkliag
stars where they should be large and clear
and expressive.
The woman whose eyes are too little has
only herself TO thank for It.
She has let the fat crowd them out.
She must certainly reduce her face.
To reduce the face It is very often neces-
sary to reduce the entire body. Still TIE
face can be reduced scientifically by pinch
ing and by massage.
Take the flesh in the fingers and pinch
It well.
Keep on doing this and you will grad
ually reduce 1t.
But the fat face nearly always accom-
panies the fat body and It is often neces-
sary to reduce the whole body in order
10 bring the face into proportion.
For the fat woman there is this ad-
vice:
Diet and exercise, lose flesh in ordinary
manner, and. as the flesh drops off the
face the eyes will grow larger.
There was a woman whose face was
very rat. though her body was thin.
Her cheeks stuck out like cushions and

her work under precisely the same condi-

Lafacadio Hearn.

Some time ago The Optic publish
ed an associated press which chron-
icled the death of Lafacado Hearn.
The following sketch of his life viii
be of interest:
Lafacadio Hearn, although foreign
born. spent the greater part of his
life in America, and his writings
have been popular in this country.
The last Is years he spent in Japan
from choice, first because the equa.
BILE climate there seemed best suited
to his frail constitution, and, second,
for the reason that the social con.
ditions of the flowery kingdom" ap.
pealed to the keen poetic fancy OF
the author.
Never strong physically, MIR. Hearn
spent a large part of his time trav'
cling. He admired Japan and the
Japanese and wrote several books
about the country, becoming an &C.
knowledged authority on the history
and the present social conditions
there. He later married a Japanese
woman and settled down to q life OF
quiet and retirement. In later years
he has lived almost the life OF a re
cluse.
Mr.. Hearn was born In the Ioniar
Islands, June q, 1850, Of Irish and
Greek parentage. He resided for years
in New Orleans, where he engaged
In newspaper work. Later he worked
in Cincinnati and New York. Anon,
his many works on the Orient are.
"Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan
I'm Ghostly JAPAN Some Chinese
Ghosts" and "Gleanings in Buddhs
Fields"
For some years Mr.. Hearn hat
been a lecturer on English literatur,
in the Imperial university at Toxic
where he was idealized by the stu
dents. He was known as Prof. Koi
| zumi Yakumo. He was married {,
a Japanese woman soon after his ar
