..R. RUSSELL"
Lord William Russell married Rachael,
the second daughter of the fourth Earl
of Southampton, and the widow of Lord
Vaughan, in 1862 Their courtship had
extended over considerable period, and
they always lived on terms of the great
est afrection and confidence Lady Rus
sell corresponded with many distinguish
ed men, and a collection of her admir-
able letters were published in 1878.
When Lord Russell was sentenced to
death in 1888, many attempts were made
to save his life. Lady Russell had rem
dered her husband much assistance in the
trial proceedings at the Old Bailey. He
was executed ON July 81 1853, in the
44th year of his age.
Thursday = Horace Walpole to the
Misses Berry,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-30

The love of Lady Rachael Russell for
her husband, Lord William Russell, the
English politician, their happy welded
life and her devotion to him unto death,
are famous incidents even in the annals
of woman's devotion. Guizat in his
Glamour dams lie Marriage" has taken
Lady Russel's marriage as a type of the
best and finest union. and cites her let
ters to her husband as proof that the
most romantic sentiment may be pre-
served in marriage when what is usually
considered the age of romance is past.
After 12 years of wedlock Lady Rus
sell ends one of her letters thus: Il
have nothing new to write to you, but l
know. as certainly as 1 live. that 1 have
been for ~ years as passionate a lover
10 years more
1t was said in the last days when her
husband was on trial for his life that
Lady Russells character showed its most
heroic features. Every effort she could
make for his safety and defense she made
with a clear-headedness and a calmness
that kept all useless emotion under con-
troll.
When the sentence was passed and
the day of execution was fixed, Lady
Russell took leave of her husband the
night before his death. When the time
came to part they clasped themselves
in long, close embrace. and then Lady
Russell went away to her long and lonely
widowhood.
The following is one of the many let
ters of sentiment written by Lady Rus
sell to Lord Russell:
II have stolen away from great many

LESSON V-PART ii
The Eyes-Is Face Powder Injurious?
Reading in Bed

That reading in bed is bad for the eyes
has become almost a truism, partly due
to the Puritanism existing in most of us
which bids us believe that anything very
pleasant is necessarily bad Most people
like to read in bed-an unsociable habit
which, when indulged in by one member
of the family, is apt to be frowned on by
the rest. But. In truth, the only reason
why reading in a reclining position should
have bad consequences is poor light and
incorrect habit of holding the book or
paper. If the light Is directed on the
printed matter and this is so held that the
eyes are kept wide open, no harm will
result. If the light is insufficient or badly
directed, and the reading matter held so
that the eyes are half closed eye strain
and wrinkles will be the consequence.
Keep the Eyes Open
Eye health and eye beauty are one;
what is good for health is good for
beauty. If you feel the need for squint-
ing, there is something wrong with the
light, or the eyes need strengthening.
The first step in the beautifying and i'm
provement of the eyes is to keep them
open and not to allow the muscles about
them to relax. Look in the glass. open
the eyes and draw up the muscles about
them; the face Immediately looks younger
and better, and the eyes feel better. Re-
peat this exercise at intervals during the
day and it will not be long before the i'm
provement is permanent.
The bad effects of relaxed muscles are
shown in several ways; the flesh at the
outer corner of the eyes drops, fans of
wrinkles form. and the skin beneath the
eyes draws up toward the inside corners
For the lines at the outside corners gave
directions in my last lesson in Facial
Massage. but will repeat them now.
Massage Movements for the Eyes
Beginning with the left eye, place the
first and second fingers of the left hand
one above and one below the eyeba1l,
slightly stretching the skin. Moisten the
second finger of the right hand with a re-
liable massage cream and, with series
of little rotary movements, massage the
space between the two fingers. Repeat on
the right side" This is better done at
night for the reason that the good effect
of the ironing out of the skin will con-
tinue during sleep. For the wrinkles that
form beneath the eyes, converging toward
the nose. recommend the following mas
sage movement:
"Anoint the second finger of both hands
with massage cream, place them at the
corners of the eyes near the nose and
move them, lightly and briskly beneath
the eyes and toward the temples. Repeat
this 10 times every evening, using all the
cream that the skin will absorb In the
