HOllIE ITS PROBLEMS AND INTERESTS
LINEN COATS TO BE WORN
These Are Too Unusual to Omit From
the Wardrobe.

Linen is to be conspicuous as coat ma
tcrial. as we'll as in the realms of
frocks, millinery, and parasols, and some
of the new linen models are exceed
insly attractive. We have already
spoken of the beited and the loose
coats of all-over eyelet embroidery or
linen and of the plain linen coats with
scalloped edges and borders of open
work or heavy blind embroidery; but
many variations are rung upon these
themes. and each model has attractive
details that give it individuality.
Among the coats Of colored linen in
one exclusive shop was a loose half
length paletot of citron linen. inset all
over with beautiful medallions of white
openwork embroidery, about three in
Ches in diameter, and bcrdered by white
applied embroidery with waving edge.
Another half-length coat, falling
straight back and font, was in willow
green linen. bordered all around with
wide band Of heavy Irish lace and
fastening in front with narrow straps
and cocardes of the linen.
There are new short coats of cloth
in white and delicate linen, and one of
these was a delightful French creation
of supple white cloth, made loose and
reaching almost to the knees. Its only
trimming was its border, finishing neck
fronts, bottom, and armholes; but this
border was q raised design Of huge con-
VentionaliZed flowers, heavily embroid-
cred in white silk, the great petals form
ing the irregular edge OF the garment.

The Empress Dowager of China is
known TO be lady with an exceedingly
short temper. and when she discovered
that the beautiful diamond given her on
her birthday by a high official was only
cut glass, no doubt she made the donor
of that gem" feel exceedingly sorry
for himself
1t requires very little to give the En-
press Dowager very bad attack OF
nerves" She had one the other day
over pair of blue mourning shoes worn
by Yung Luh's daughter
When the aged Empress beheld those
blue shoes she fell into a tremendous
rage and sternly lectured the wearer of
them on the enorTnity of coming into her
presence clad in mourning, especially
when her birthday was about to be ceIe-
brated. The bewildered young lady ex-
planned that she was in mourning for her
father, but the Empress Dowager made
short work of such excuses, told the cul-
prit that she was supreme, and that such
mistake must never, never happen

The Proper Use of Cosmetic.
If you find them generally scant, aug
ment them slightly with cosmetic PEN

slightly darker shade. Black eyebrows
which are well defined require no cos
metic. The same is true of black lashes.
II the brows extend in a sparse growth

be shaved or painted out with light
application of flesh-colored grease paint.
This can be used only when one intends

Daylight, no matter how carefully ap-
piled. Its Cuse, therefore, is only to be
recommended for temporary improve

is much approved in London society at
present. Many women are attempting
to change the shape of their brows in
imitation of the extreme arch that char
acterizes hers. This gives a rather
aristocratic expression, and where the
brows are sparse may be effected by
painting out the center Of the natural
brow and connecting the two ends with
an arch of cosmetic then extending the
natural end of the brow downward very
slightly nv the same means
Mistakes to Avoid.
In making up eyebrows or eyelashes
for the street, never draw line under
the lower lashes. Some women are given
to this fad. but it is never anything but
obvious, much as they may fatter them
selves 10 the contrary. Another thing
to avoid is making UP the eyebrow heav-
fly. If brunette. the effect will be sinis-
ter. If blonde, decidedly unnatural Only
a light cosmetic line must be drawn. 1t
must then be blended with tiny eye

should be gone over very lightly with a
cosmetic pencil, especially the latter.
which are better left unpainted unless
absolutely a devoid OF color or very sparse
In the latter case a judicious touching
up with cosmetic will add to their ap-
parent thickness.

Letters are frequently received re-
questing instruction as to how the
shape of the eyebrows might be changed.
On first thought such an accomplish
ment seems almost impossible, but quite
the reverse is true. Indeed, the shape
of the brows. and therefore the general
expression of ones countenance, may be
altered surprisingly and with but small
trouble.
Some of the letters received have con-
tanned requests for directions how to
make the eyebrows meet over the nose
Why anyone should wish to effect such
a peculiar continuation OF the line of
brow is not clear, for hrows which
meet give a most sinister expression to
the features. 1t is probable that the
writer's VINO wish to cause their brow s
to meet have scant lines from just above
the nose at either side to half way over
the eye. and from thence to the outer
edge OF the eye too shaggy a supply OF
hair. This is, of course, not beautiful.
The recourse OF such persons must bc
to an eyebrow tonic. a small brush, and
temporarily to the use Of a cosmetic
pencil. The tonic must be applied at
light to the thin part of the brow.

this purpose X rubbed In carefully at

Constant Attention Necessary.

the process must be constantly repeat
ed or the new hair will grow cut more
ehaggy than ever. For that reason an

That part which is too thin on either
side above the nose can then be painted
in carefully with a cosmetic pencil OF a
color to match the rest OF the eyebrow

light brown Is suitable for the blonde

vocates Of prohibition would go ahead
and hold the election the best way
they could He stated that under the
terms Of the Brice bill 1t was uncer-
tain whether the managers of elec-
tion should be appointed by the county
supervisor or by the commissioners Of
election who have charge Of state and
county elections. 1t was thought that
If an early decision could be reached
in the Pickens county case, which Is
now under consideration by Chief
Justice Pope, that there would be no
further trouble along this line. One
argument that is being used in favor
of prohibition Is that the cheap IL
Quor that is being sold through the
dispensary is demoralizing and ruin
ing the colored farm help. 1t Is stated
that many farm hands go to town, and
for a quarter buy enough cheap corn
liquor to make them useless and
worthless for days. 1t Is urged tnat
the dispensary liquor is sold so cheap
that almost any negro laborer can buy
all he wants, and that as a result there
is no farm work done until the supply
Is exhausted and the effect wears on.
1t is urged that If the farm laborers
could not 60 to town and buy sup
ply Of LIQUOR for q quarter or less, they
would do better service on the farm.
It is said that II the regular dispen-
saries were closed to such customers
the negro would have but little en-
couragement from the blind tigers,
and while some folks could get all
the liquor they want. the poor colored
laborer could not do so, and as re-
suit the farm would be benefited and
and the laborer would be all the hap
pier. The argument is that the people
will see to IL that the blind tiger
that sells to the colored farm laborer
Is stopped, and the convictions In
Marlboro and other agricultural coun-
ties show this. 1t is this labor phase
of the question and the effect OF cheap
LIQUOR on colored farm labor that is
responsible for a great deal OF the
awakening Of the country on the IL
quor question. The farm labor ques-
ton Is growing more serious every day.
and this liquor question Is having lts
bearing upon the proposition.
