CHAPTER X.

IRGINIA, left alone, was rather
glad of it. Her desertion of the
Shaynes was a crisis in her life.
She had acted impulsively in a matter
OF great moment and needed time for
thought. She had taken flight to Car
sons Landing and to shelter in the
shade of the sole remaining branch of
her fanny tree, full of confidence that
she would find there a silver-haired
uncle and a delicate old lavender aunt,
redolent of the. old regime and ready to
receive her, ~tenderly loyal to the Carson
blood
Instead of silver hair, Theodore, the
audaciously false uncle. had red lips
and the little. silky kids m%ustache."
and there was 10 aunt. The grand
niece of old General Carson, related to
Theodore Carson. by no chain of des-
cent. save the dubious one of the orig
iral third Carson brother of hundreds
of years ago and the ownership of this
plantation, was weakly allowed to as
sumo kinship from the place and name,
and never thought of sitting down with
Theodore and tracing the thing out.

of the day between the midday meal
and nightfall as evening" and after
dark as night, had to make this dis
tinction clear to the ladies, who, h
thew understood it, hurriedly packed
their dunnage, and embarked. They
were a gay party; Virginia was full of
laughter; her color rose and her eyes
dilated as they took the stream early

AN EYEBROW GROWER.

Vaseline is rather overestimated as
an eyebrow grower. To begin with, il
attaches itself to the hair and is not
readily absorbed by the pores Of the
scalp, where the nourishment is really
needed. An excellent hair grower that
may be used on the eyebrowt is made
by combining four nee of alcohdi
with two ounces of castor oil n add
ing a few drops of oil of bersamot.
Apply this to the eyebrows every night
with a tiny brush. A little massage
every night with the finger tips will
aid the good work of the tonic. Once
a week battle the eyebrows carefully
with green soap and a water.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have moved into a country house
that has been closed for some time,
and the range is in a dreadful condi-
ton from dampness. 1 have tried sew
eral methods of polishing it, but with
out much success. Perhaps you know
of some way. SCBURBANlTE.
When the stove is perfectly dry,
wash it with soap and water. If there
are red parts on the stove, them
with vinegar. Use turpentine instead
of suds or vinegar to dilute polish,
Apply it evenly all over the stove with
a small paint brush. Rub the polish
with a brush and polish with an old
wooden cloth. AS turpentine is an ex-
plosive, be careful to rave no fire about
the stove. A drop or two of molasses
in the mixture will make the stove
much blacker, especially after it has
grown red and is difficult to polish over
the lids.
