THE LAsHEs AND EYEBROWS.

Owing to the nearness OF these to
the eyes and the great tendency for
preparations to work their way to the
eye surface one should never use
chemicals that are likely to cause ir-
ritation, for which reason all the ordi-
nary hair stimulants are barred. Even
glycerin is frequently a cause Of eva
smarting. Such preparations as lsno-
lin, cocoanut oil and olive oil mixed
in proportions to form cream do no
harm. They promote growth and
slightly darken the hairs.
Never cut the lashes. Their beauty
depends largely on their being pointed.
A cut lash never regains its point II
keeps blunt until it falls out. Brush
the eyebrows nightly in the direction
Of their natural arch, and, IL this is
faulty, try to give the brows an arched
shape. Either pull out struggling
hairs or. having cut them short. rub
down with wet pumice stone. Neither
a depilatory nor electrolysis should be
applied near the eye.

cording to an authority: First a soft
telly-like mass is boiled in kettles, and
then, when still soft, 1t is cut into
cubes Of many different sizes by ma
chinery, and these cubes are thrown
into huge copper kettles with wide
open gaping mouths. In these kettles
is powdered sugar, mixed in some
cases with cornstarch. and when the
soft cubes thrown in the kettles begin
to revolve the cubes rolling round and
round shape themselves into eggs and
grow harder and harder, although the

The chocolate eggs are perhaps the
most popular of all the many varieties.

HOW TO SWEEP.

To sweep a room is little. but to get
it ready for sweeping takes some time.
Each upholstered piece OF furniture
should be carefully brushed and plain
polished surfaces wiped with slightly
damp cloth, then rubbed with a dry
one and moved out of the room. A
paint brush is excellent TO remove the
dust that will lodge In carved parts,
or If in crevices a very tiny brush or q

Mccarthy the committee of the Knights of Colun- bus having charge of the programs of entertainment provided each night of the K. of c. carnival is planning sev- eral elaborate performances for the few remaining evenings of the big amuse- ment enterprise. Tonight a vaude- vile festival will be the attraction. toz morrow night concert of vocal and instrumental numbers will be produced and Thursday evening the element of comedy will receive special attention in the holding of an amateur night.
 Several of the artists appearing at Polls this week will be seen at the carnival this evening" making features of numbers that are not introduced at the vaudeville house. Those who have had an opportunity to witness the vau- deville readily realize that there are a humber of artists whose gifts equip them admirably for providing a pro gram suitable for the big armory.
 MT. Mccarthy has received assuran- ces from several of the leading vocal ists of the city that they will be avail able for the concert to morrow even ing With the assistance of Malon- ey's enlarged orchestra. the singers at excellent advantage. for the scheme Of decorations, to the surprise of the musicians and singers who have all ready appeared there. has been found to enhance the acoustic properties of the structure.
 For Thursday night, the commit tee is making extensive plans for the amateur contest. There will be sew era1 tenn pting prizes to be awarded by judges who will be influenced by the approval manifested by the audience.

MEN FLOCK TO MISSION SERVICES,
 CROWDS AT MASS

The mission for men at the Sacred Heart church conducted by the Do- minican Fathers is attracting attention from not only the male members of the parish. but many men from var ious parts of the city make it their business to attend at least one of the daily services.
 The good record established by the men when they filled the church be- yond it's seating capacity on Sunday evening was kept up last evening, the attendance, if any thing, being even greater. The sermon of the evening, last night, was preached by Father Cahill, who is a very forcefu1 and in teresting preacher.
 Another congregation of large di- mensions attended the 5 o'clock mass to-day. This service is started ten minutes before the hour, when the TO- sary is recited by one of the fathers, and repeated by the congregation. Ev- cry morning at the 5 o'clock mass there is an interesting sermon. There is also another mission mass at 8 o'clock every morning, but here ser mon is not delivered.
 The evening services start at 7:30 o'clock beginning with the recitation of the Rosary, followed by the sermon of the evening and the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

 and Comforts the Little Ones
 A demonstration of the efficacy and entire harmlessness of poslap1, the new skin discovery, is afforded when it is applied to the tender skin of infants who are tortured with rashes, chafngs, sca1y and crusted humors and other skin aggravations. Its effect is sooth- ing, the itching stops at once, the skin heals and is quickly restored. to nor nal condition.
 In the various forms of skin trou- bles in both infants and adults, pos lam produces beneficial results from the first application. Eczema, acne, herpes, rash, letter, etc, yield readily to its remarkable curative properties. Occasional applications will quickly banish pinples, b1otches and com plexion blemishes and will relieve ana cure itching feet. sca1y scalp, hunors, etc.

Mrs. Thomas Cunningham Will Have Charge of This Feature of the TeutOnic Fair

Germans who have been many years across the sea from the Father land with an occasional recurrence of the memories of the feasts of bounti- ful German tables, will have an Op- portunity to renew acquaintances with the epicurean delights of their youth at the Armory next week.
 Mrs. Thomas J. Cunningham, wife of the deputy sheriff. and head of the women who have volunteered to as- stst the Germans in their plans for the 9ahrmarkt or annual festival at the armory all next week, reported at a meeting of the Bridgeport Central Yer band last evening that she had com p1eted all plans for the Institution of a complete German garden and restau- rant in the armory. With large corps of assistants, she will provide an elaborate menu so that patrons of the Jahrmarkt will have an opportun- ity to rega1e themselves upon the gas trononic treats of their native land.
 At the meeting last evening plans already outlined by the various com rnittees were ratified, and much en- thusiasm was shown both for the Jahrmarkt itself and for the big street pageant that will precede the formal opening by Mayor Buckingham next Monday night

JEWELER REID
 PLANS TO MOVE j.
 INTO NEW STORE
Main Street Business Man Will Take Lighter and Bigger Quarters on Broad Street

Henry c. Reid, the jeweler and op- ticlan whose place of business has been known to the buying public of Bridgeport for three decades. and whose store has been located at 952 Main street for the past 24 years, has announced that he will change the To- cation in the near future, and will open up a fine new store in the HinclSs & Johnson building, Broad and Cannon street. His number will be 1885 Broad street.
 MT. Reid has long felt the need of larger quarters. as he is at present somewhat cramped for space and he believes that his customers will appre- ciate the change. MT. Reid believes that he is following the logical growth of the city in moving towards Broad street, a step already taken by a num- Der of important business firms.
 At the new store MT. Reids stock of jeweIry, silverWare, watches clocks and optical goods will be larger and bet ter than ever and his repair depart Inent will be in a position to render the same highly satisfactory service as in the past.
 MT. Reid expects to assume his new location about the first of November
