plain filing is used, while for rooms the
two-toned rugs make a pleasing carpet.
The plain, solid color Is bordered with a
design in a light tone, and figure in the
center or at the four corners carries out
the same effect. Sometimes only the Dor
der is in two tones. The rest of the rug
is plain.
Crex rugs are used all the year round in
dining rooms They are inexpensive, al
ways fresh looking, and are SO light that
they can be frequently taken up and the
floor beneath cleaned. All these attributes
make such a floor covering desirable for
a dining room.
Should they fade wipiny with a damp
cloth wrung through hot water charged
with ammonia will usually restore the
color.
For bedrooms China and Japanese mat
ting are still in demand. The figured Is
preferred, unless some small rugs are to
be used. In the latter case solid cream
should be chosen.
The figured mattings with mats are at
tractive and clean looking. hence their
popularity for bedrooms.
Carpets by the yard are still sold, not
withstanding the vogue Of rugs. but are
usually chosen by persons living In the
country, where floors are apt to be cold.
For bathrooms mats and rugs woven
from strips Of Oilcloth Gin the same man
ner as rag carpets are made) are popular
They come In a variety Of dainty color
ings and sizes, and when sOiled can be
wiped without removing from the floor.
Dark colOrs are used for Kitchens.

Beautiful Eyebrows.

please tell me what to do to make my
eyebrows pretty" writes one woman,
and l am quoting her plea
because I have received many similar
ones, and to them all l answer: Take
care of your eyebrows Few women do
this, yet they seem to expect that their
brows will be shapely ard attractive.
BY care of the brows mean practically
the same treatment which is given to the
hair, with this exception: TONES en-
pioyed must contain ii. large percentage
OF grease, for the Inc OF hair over the
eyes is so exposed 10 light and air that
the natural oils are quickly dried: loss
that must be repaired ii the brows are
not too loose in appearance.
When the brOwS are in good condition
vaseline rubbed OH at night will be Suf-
ficient to keep them pretty. To apply
this the tip Of the finger is dipped into
grease and each brow is stroked in the
line it should gov. This serves to train
it. most Necessary detail If any beauty
OF shape Is 10 pe secul ed.
Rrows that are inclined TO be thin. and
scraggly require more attention. They
need a tonic and one which Is nourish-
ing is made from one-half ounce of sweet
almond oil and two and one-half grains
of sulphate Of quinine.
Every night the brows must be thor
oughy brushed, always in the line in
which they must grow. The bristles used
must have some strength, but should not
be hard Following the brushing a finger
tip dipped into the tonic and thoroughly
rubbed across the hairs. to work the
grease into the roots, will complete the
night treatment.
In the morning another brushing and a
light applicat ton of tonic may be given
Ii the grease put on then is gently wiped
off il will improve the look of the brows.
without giving any appearance of oiliness.
