eyes and eyebrows are
10 a special gift of nature. Many an
otherwise plain face is redeemed
by fine eyes, many a pretty face
spoiled by red trimmed, dull, lusterless
eyes. But a great deal can be done to
make even unpromising eyes clear and
attractive, to render eyes which are
only passably pretty really beautiful.
Much depends upon health. In fact
beauty culture in any sense is simply
the application of health and hygiene
to the skin, teeth, eyes, etc. Health is
beauty, and there is no such thing as
beauty without health. The conclusion
is inevitable that if the body is sick
"the windows Of the SOUP must be dull.
Eyes, like the skin, require daily at
tention, fresh air, cleanliness and even
exercise. Exercise consists in moving
the eyes upward and downward and
from side to side, with the head held
well up and kept still. This tones the
muscles which raise and lower the eye
balls and brings healthy supply of
blood to the eyes and in this way nour-
ishes the tissues. The best way to
clean the eyes is to open them while

PUTTING AWAY FURS.

months, and, although, for some reason

THE graduation frocks Of the year,
whether for grammar and high

tically be of the princess shape, and a
host of lingerie ones will be seen. For

nothing so suitable as a fine lawn or

young girl. But many a girl will over
rule her sensible mother and wear, silk

Crepe de chine and chiffon cloth are
perennial favorites. Silk cashmere will
be used extensively this year, and SO,
too, will the new thin silk ottoman,
which has the large cord of the old and

practical material for such gowns. It
is fine and clinging and lends itself to

fingers should be noistened with olive

the growth. It is a good plan when
eyebrows are thin and poor in quality
