brows will be reduced to submits

The woman with characterless
lashes and brows is greatly to be
pitied. The only feasible way out
of this trouble is to see to 1t that
the brows become well defined
and the lashes fascinatinly long
with tiptilted ends.
How is this to be accomplished
l hasten to tell you.
Suppose we take up this eye
brows first, as | think they are
more of a beauty defect than short
lashes.
Those afflicted with scanty eye
brows should set their fingers to
work, as massage generally gives
satisfying results. While knead-
ing the brows, the finger tips
should be dipped frequently in
yellow vaseline or in the following
stimulating tonic:

ONE W0MAN'S VIEWS
ON PUBLIC SMOKING

Smoking in motion-picture and
vaudeville houses might be prohibited
here as well as ii is prohibited on
the mainland There are few il any
playhouses Where men can smoke in
peace. Most women are accustomed
TO cigars and cigarettes, as their hus-
bands, brothers or friends often spend
their evenings smoking on the lanai,
Rnd as a rule do not mind 1t il the
smoker shows some consideration for
those around him. But at the thea
tiers here some men, of whom better
things might be expected, seem to
take particular delight in blowing the
smoke of some cheap cigar into the
faces CT men and women who show
their dispieasure for such things. In
conversation with a gentleman the
other day, who, by the way, takes
great delight in making pictures in
smoke, this subject was brought up,
and even he confessed that the smoke
from another's cigar tends, when
blown into his face, to make him nau
seated. III this is the feeling that
comes over the seasoped smoker, what
then do you think one who is not ac-
customed to smoking herself feels like
alter she has sat in front of one VINO
for two hours has blown the smoke
into her face? IL smoking were not
allowed by the managers of theaters,
the people would go to the perform
ances just the same, provided the at
traction was a good one. When Pol
lard's Iilliputians played their first
engagement here, some five years ago,
in the old Orpheum, the management
cut out smoking, still the house was
filled to its utmost capacity every
night. When there is a good show
on ut the Opera House and the prices
are not too high, the people fill the
house in spite OF the fact that no
smoking is allowed. There are al.
ways intermissions between the two
act plays long enough for a smoke If
one needs it, and at the Liberty, where
there. are two performances nightly,
each less than two hours in length,
surely one can dispense with his
smoke, particularly if he is near
woman. IL smoking must be allowed,
why not eonfine it to the seats that
are not reserved. Those there may
not mind ii, and If they do they can
get away from it by taking re-
served seat the next time. This ar
ticle is not intended for the man who
when he sees that those who are near
him object to his smoking throws his
cigar away, but for the one who takes
particular delight in annoying ladies
as well as men, Just because he has
the opportunity to do so.

BOSTON. - Aviators disagree as to
the cause of the accident that caused
the deaths of Miss Harriet Quimby
and W. A. P willard. She was direct
ing her Bleriot monoplane at heigat
of 1000 feet with Mr.. Willard as pas
senger when he tumbled from his seat
to be followed a moment later by Miss
Quimby. Some experts are inclined to
the belief that the machine suddenly
ran into a gust of wind that caused
the nose to point downward too r.:p-
idly and that suction pulled Willard
out of his passengers seat to the rear
of the operator and threw him head
foremost down through space. Tho
action of his weight forced Miss Quinn
by to follow. Others. say indication :
are that the tail control broke, for i
suddenly pointed upward into the air,
balanced almost perpendicular for a
moment or two, and then Willard
shot out.
