HOn to Look Tall

The woman who wants to seem taller
must see how slender she can be. The
thinner she is the taller she Will look,
other things being equal But there are
things she must do.
These are the things to be learned:
First, to hold up your head; second, to
dress in long skirts. and. third. to dress
your neck longer and wear the hair as
high as possible. You must wear your
gowns broader on the shoulder and must
dress wider, so to speak.
Little women make a mistake If they
wear tight-ftting shoulders and long.
thin sleeves. They only make themselves
look weazened.
The following is a good exercise: Lift
the arms, then stoop and rest on the
right knee. Rising, reverse the motion.
and rest on the other knee.
Then run down the room, jumping from
foot to foot. Then come back, still jump
ing. and this time lifting the feet as
though you were skipping The final
movement is to toss the arms upward
and bend backward.
There is a reason for all things, and
the reason why these exercises make
the little woman taller is that they make
her supple.

How to Acquire
Pretty Eyebrows

The eyebrows should be brushed morn
ing and night, and through the day when
one happens to think Of them
Have a soft brush. and use It for five
minutes at a time in brushing the brows.
Always stroke in the line that the brows
should grow.
Some tonics undoubtedly are aids, and
the simplest Of all is vaseline.
Red is the best. and this should first be
put on the finger tips and rubbed well
into the brows before brushing begins.
This may be done in the morning quite
as well as at night. for the grease should
be so absorbed as not to show.
Whatever color the hair may be, the
brows are usually more effective If a few
shades darker.
ANY tonic containing grease is a dark
ener, from the fact Of the presence OF the
oils, and with tonic Of this sort dye is
not necessary.
To be sure, dye works faster, but in
the end not so well, and il is much better
not TO use a dye. at least until after a
tonic has been applied daily for some
months.
/ A decided stimulant for the eyebrows IS
made of two and one-half grains OF sui
phate OF quinine and half an ounce OF
sweet almond oil. Mix and rub in thor
| oughly before brushing.
In cases where the eyebrows grow thin
from Illness, something little different
should be used.
Good for this condition is a mixture Of
five grains of tincture of rosemary. one
gram of tincture OF cantharides. fifty
grams Of the spirits of camphor. and fifty
grams Of cologne.
Mix. and apply morning and night regu-
larly for at least six weeks.
The luster and prettiness Of the brows
may be very much increased in the even
ing by moistening them slightly with al
mond oil
A fine cameTs-hair brush should be
dipped in the liquid. and az that can
should be wiped from the tip. Then rub
the brush over the brows gently and
evenly.
Should the oil be visible in any place.
wipe 1t off with the finger tips.
