The present fashion in eyebrows, like
delicate. The brows should be Of a shade
a very little deeper than the hair. They
should be short enough to lie smooth.
The eyebrow that is just right needs
attention or it will not long remain JUS,
as it should be. The tendency of the eye,
brow is to get gray; and the gray eyebrow
Is u~nsightly.
A woman noted for her fine eyebrows
has in her boudoir q little shelf which she
calls her eyebrow shelf, and on its glossy
surface there repose all the things needed
for the caro- Of the brows. The shelf itself
Is glass.
The contents of the shelf are varied.
There is a thin soft eyebrow brush, half
as wide as your finger and half as long,
This is to be used several times a day,
There are pomades for deepening the color
Of the eyebrows, and there are lotions for
making the brows grow.
There are little bottles OF scent for the
pertaining Of the brows, and oils to make
them glisten. Not long & a woman went
to an eyebrow specialist to learn how to
make the brows grow.

a pomade,' said the specialist.
Upon payment OF q good round sum the
woman received a formula, which she took
to the druggist to be put up. 1t consisted
Of vase,ine Of the red variety and pure oil
Of sweet almonds. half n half, The

the eyebrows were to be painted every

The Duchess OF Marlborough set the
fashion for the high and rather querulous
eyebrow. Mary Manncring has this eye
brow and SO has the Princess Of Pless. 1t
is not a classic eyebrow, but it is youthful.
Not long ago there went to a beauty
specialist of Paris a London woman who
wanted to have an operation performed
upon her eyebrows.
II want to nave them lifted, said size.
1T is a difficult operation said the
specialist, "and we do not advise it,"
mo matter" said the beauty, Il want
my eyebrows raised a little. want the
high eyebrows, the lifted. questioning eye
brows, Of the girl of H."
The specialist did as requested. Cutting
a slit in the forehead along the line Of the
hair, he pulled up the skin, taking a tuck
of about n quarter of an inch. This lifted
the eyebrows and stretched the skin of the
forehead smooth.
1t Is a dangerous operation, for it is apt to
leave a scar that cannot be hidden by the
hair On the other hand, il it is success
full, it is very successful, indeed, and has
the effect Of making a woman look a great

There was a woman whose eyebrows
met. They came together over her nose
In a manner which gave her face a scowling
look, far from pleasant to gaze upon.
