Proper Care of the Eyebrows to Lend
Beauty TO the Face--S1npLe Remedy for
the Cure of Superfzuous Hair.
BY MADAME ALTA.
Care of the Eyebrows.

There is not a feature of the face
"hicn SO makes or mars its beauty as
the eyebrows. If they are allowed to
grow scantily. or without any regard
Tor their outline, they will detract
greatly from ones good looks, while on
the contrary a few minutes care every
night n morning will not only make
the brows grow beautifully even and
glossy, but will also add to ones good
looks.
In identifying brows a soft brush
must be constantly used and frequent
applications of vaseline-that is, using
1t twice a day, morning and night
will be beneficial, especially if instead
of brushing the grease is rubbed in
with the finger tips. This rubbing
must be done from the nose toward the
other end of the brows. The stroke of
the brush must be given in the same
direction. The hair must never be
turned the wrong way. When the finger
tips are employed the movement
should be short and fairly hard-that
is, sufficiently so to stimulate circula-
ton. A beneficial unguen to put en-
In this way is almond oil-the sweet
variety. Oil of cajuput is another good
tonic. Several drops of this are rubbed
into the brows every other night. A
combination of red vaseline in the pro-
portion of an ounce to half a dram
of tincture of cantharides and seven
drops each of the oil of lavender and
rosemary strengthens the hair. This Is
rubbed in morning and night.

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
THE WICKED KING.
BY CAROLYN VAUGHAN. AGED 10.

HTV HERE was once a wicked king
who was like a tiger in savage
ness. He was hated by every
one except a good fairy who lived near.
The king thought himself the best per-
son on earth. He was young now.
But when he was 20 years of age he
thought how nice it must be to have
a friend. He then said aloud, IT must
have a real friend" He hen went
out to look for a friend. lust as be
turned the corner of Main street he
met an old man bent with age, carry
ing a heavy burden. The king said,
please may / carry your burden?"
"I should never think of letting you, a
king, carry my burden" said the old
man. But 1 must, for you are too
old, and the burden too heavy" said
he.
At this the old man yielded, and he
carried the burden to his own palace.
and the old mar went with him. He
gave the old man 800 in cash, and he
had a friend, and plenty more friends,
too, all his life. But the old man and
the good fairy were the best of all.

Patching Up a Quarrel.

Dear Margery Doom:
Please tell me how to patch up a
quarrel with a young man l have been
going with for two years. The other
night he was to call, and as he did not
get here by $50, 1 thought he
was not coming, SO l went to the
house of a friend and told my mother
to tell hin to come there, if he came.
He came, but said If he was not good
enough to wait for. he would not a
for me, and he went away very angry.
l have not seen him since, and l am
anxious to be friends. as I love him
dearly. Do you think 1t would be all
right to write a note and ask him not
to be angry, and explain he matter?
Please advise me. HELEN.
L think you are both in fault, more or
less, but as you began it by going away
when you expected him you really
should write a little note, explaining
that you waited until o were quite
sure that he was not coming. Tell
him you are sorry he took the wrong
view of the matter, and that you hope
he will call in the near future. He will
probably be only too glad to reply
promptly.

l never said anything of the kind she
told me that the best thing to do was

wrote to her a number of times, but she
did not answer. / asked her to marry
me the night before the trouble, and
she was to give me my answer the fol-
lowing Sunday. She told her girl
friend that she wanted nothing more
to do with me, but that she was sorry
to nave to treat me that way. Please
tell me how to regain her love. Do
you think / ought to keep on writing?
When we meet on the street she goes
to the other side. In my last letter 1
told her I would do her no harm.
Please advise me,
HEARTBROKEN.
You must have offended her greatly,
but even at that she should have given
you an opportunity to explain. Let
her know that if you do not hear from
her Immediately you will give up writ
ing, n will make no attempt to see
her. This nay bring her to terms at
once. for she must love you or she would
not let you talk of marriage. I would
like to advise you to try to forget her,
but I think you care too much about
her. However, I am of the opinion
that 1t would be the wisest thing to do.

invitation or not. I have often wanted

ness. ANXIOUS.

If she did not, it would have been easy
for her to extend the invitation to your
friend another time. 1t was by no
means necessary to do so in front of
you. Probably, as she had never in
vited you before, she did not know just
how to go about 1t, and seized that
I opportunity.
