Eyebrows Carefully Massaged and
Shaped Give Youthful Expression
Hair Must Be Nourished with Oils and Vigorously Brushed
and Massaged Daily, SO the Brows Will Be
Shapely and Add Beauty to Face.

Women are beginning to realize the
Importance of identifying their eye
brows and understand now that 10
manicure the nails and massage the
face for youthfulness avail little, IL
such important features as brows are
neglected.
Massaging the brows and applying
tones must be in the daily routine Of
most women, and those to whom ma
ture has given pretty shaped brows
must TAX care of them.
In care of the brows there must be
a special brush. One with bristles no
sitter than those used on a young
baby's head Is the kind. When the
brows are luxuriant md sufficiently
dark in color, 1t behooves a woman
to keep them so. Morning and night
she should put a drop of sweet al
mond oil or glycerine on her finger
tip and rub the finger over one brow,
repeating the application for the 9TH
er. Then she should stroke them for
two or three minutes with the brush.
This treatment nourishes the hair fol-
~licles, just as the scalp Is toned by
similar applications, aand brushing, of
course, acts as 1t would on hair on
the head. 1t may be worth while 10
state that without this treatment
brows which are black and pretty may
be gray and wiry al the age of flfty.

eyebrows by using a paste made from
the yolk OF eggs and sulphur, to which
she added a few drops of sweet al

OF the bereavement and more
latitude in matters social.
She is supposed to wear black for
six months. but after the end OF three
she may accept Invitations, except to
large, formal functions. She Is not per-
mitted to go to dances. however small,
but dinners, l~uncheons, bridge parties.
the theatre n opera are amusements
she a enjoy. AS she is not supposed
to go without her husband, he of necs-
sity goes with her and his mourning is
denoted by black clothes only. A man
in mourning for a parent. sister or
child should use white gloves in the
evening when wearing his dress clothes
but in the daytime his gloves should
be black.
a woman's mourning garments for
an "in-law" parent or child may be
pure white for the house, dull finished
materials being selected. Any trim
ming used must be of white English

At the end OF six months a woman
wearing black for a member of her
husbands family may go into black

ond mourning. These are purple, Law
ender and gray. Strictly speaking, she
is not supposed to wear white lace,
but there Is so much latitude in this
direction that lace for summer frocks
is permitted.
A man Is not expected to go into
black on the death of a member of his
wife's family. He does wear a mourn
ing band on the left arm, but this
emblem may be discarded at the end
of six months. While wearing the
band he is supposed to limit himself
to black ties and lack shoes, but GUS
tom permits him wearing tan shoes In
warm weather, m IL his ties are dull
and other inconspicious colors he
will not be criticised. II he prefers,
out OF courtesy to his wife. TO go into
mourning his clothes should be black
and shirts for daytime should be black
and white. At the end of six months
he may leave OFF black, adopting the
left arm band for the remainder of
the year.

Gasoline Electric Railway Traction.

Gasoline Electric Railway Traction.
A very successful application of the
combined gasoline and electric system
is made upon one of the most import
ant light railroads of Hungary, namely
the Arad Osanad line, which comprises
226 miles of standard gauge road and
los miles of narrow gauge. making $40
miles In all. These lines are situated
southeast OF Budapest and carry a
heay passenger traffic. Since COM
mencing the use OF gasoline trains, the
railroad company has found them to
be OF such a great advantage for this
class of traffic that at present they
are operating the lines with them al
most exclusively. Trains are made up
from a locomotive, or rather motor car.
and from n to five standard cars. AT
present there are abount forty loco
motives in use, ranging from a heavy
80-horse-power type to the 40 and 20
horsepower locomotives. The petrol
electric group in h heavy locomo-
tives consists OF a Westinghouse, six
cylinder gasoline motor connected to a
direct-current generator. Since the in
PRODUCTION OF the present system the
traffic has increased very much, and
the lines are better ~patronized by khe
public. This il seen from the fact
that while. other light railroads gave
but 8 or Z per cent. increase within
recent years, tho Arad- Csanad lines
showed rs per emit. increase for the
same period.-A. J. Thompson, in Cas-
nier's Magazines.
