GENEVIEVE - Eyebrows. - Scant,
scracgy eyebrows certainly are an af-
hiction. but you can strengthen the
growth and greatly improve their ap-
nearance by using the following lotion:
Red vaseline. two ounces; uncture OF
cantharides, one-eighth ounce; oil of
lavender fifteen drops; oil OF rosemary
6fteen drops. Mix thoroughly. Apply
to the eyebrows with a tiny tootnprush
once a day until the growth Is sufh-
ciently stimulated. Then less o1ten.
This ointment may be used for the eye
lashes too, but be very careful as IL

comes in three colors, as you prooaoly
know. Here Is a dye that the Moorish
women used to darken both brows and
lashes: Gallnuts, 25 grams; sulphate
Of iron, grams. water, l6O grams.
Boil the gallnuts in the water for
half an hour. strain through fine mus
lin and add to the strained water the
fiye grains of the sulphate Of iron: Boil
again until the liquor Is reduced TO

operation should be repeated three
times. The bottle containing the dye
should be tightly corked.

HOW TO WAX A FLOOR (Mrs.
Henry)-There is considerable knack
in preparing wax for polishing floors
and unless you are willing to devote
the necessary care to It's preparation
1 would suggest that you purchase
the prepared article, together with
the needed brushes. The weighted
polishing brush is really essential TO
thorough work, and saves much ia
tigue. However, here Is reliable
method for home workers, which
costs very little: Cut one pound of
beeswax in small pieces and melt by
placing the pan containing the wax
in another vessel containing hot wa
ter. Place three pints of best tur-
pentine in large pan, away from the
fire or lighted gas, and slowly pour
the melted wax into 1t. stirring rap
idly all the time until the ingredients
are thoroughly blended. Have the
floor perfectly clean and dry. dip a
swab OF flannel into the mixture and

Word has been received this week by
w. B. Dickson, attorney for the plaintiff
in the suit of Ezra Block vs.. E. 1. Dono-

in plaintiffs favor has been affirmed.
This action was brought by plaintiff for
the specific performance of a contract
between plaintiff and defendant. Which
plaintiff contended was the sole con-
sideration for deed to certain land,
given by him to defendant. The district
court made its decree that the defendant
comply with the terms of the agreement
within thirty days or the deed be can
celled, and subsequently cancelled the
deed. Defendant appealed. The case
was twice argued in the supreme court
with the above stated result.
