Not long ago a charming society woman was thrown high and dry on the barren shores of reduced circum- stances b. the death Of her husband who left her almost penniiess.

Care of the Eyes.

If woman has the slightest diff culty with her sight, she should lose no time in consulting an oeulist. Moth ing will bring undesirable crows feet more quickly than straining the eyes, and local treatment to prevent the lines will be inefiicacious if the seat of the trouble Is not attended to- It is far better to wear glasses when sew ing and writing than to let the whole face have a drawn and aged look.
 or course, massaging about the cor ners Of the eyes will make a tremen- dons improvement in a woman's ap- pearanee, but the work will be with out results unless she does 1t regularly every night. Also, if she is trying to smooth away crows feet, she must re- member that stroking is not to be done so severely as to loosen the skin. which would cause hagginess but merely that friction Is to stimulate cir culation. nourishing the skin tissues.

Why Wa Shake Hands,

A writer in the New York Sun has unearthed the following explanation of a common custom:
 How many of us, for instance, know why friends shake hands when they meet? The Chinese are said to shake their own hands in greeting. with an air of cordial delight. Why do people of the se-ealled civilized nations pre- fer to shake each other by the hand? We are told that 1t is an old Roman custom. spread by the Romans throughout the countries of their do- minion. Shaking hands means. You are my friend. Believe 1t for the ex- cellent reason that if you were not l should draw my sword And how could l draw my sword with my shield upon my left arm and my right hand firmly clasped in yours?" So when we shake hands we are merely saying in the pantomime of ancient Rome: There is peace and good will between us. for our swords are in their scab- bards."
