pressure from which those with astig-

Of value.

The sight usually changes at forty-five,
and reading glasses adopted at the right
juncture will preserve the eyes for long
years.
About the eyelashes and eyebrows
which so gDeat1y enhance the beauty OF
the orbs. / may tell that they should be
treated daily. a very little white vaseline
rubbed at night into the eyelids will really
stimulate their growth In time, however
imperceptible the change may be for
weeks Or even months. The vaseline must
by no means be allowed to touch the
eyes. and should be put on very lightly.
APPLY vaseline also, or olive oil IL pre-
ferred, to the eyebrows at night with a
finely pointed camel's hair brush. and
add night after night thin curved line
where the eyebrows sould extend. The
arch Is 30 attractive!
IF eyebrows are too bushy pinch them
together and smooth them down with the
unguent to make them look less promi-
