- vOIT have often heard the
" time-worn saying, at is the
little things that count in
life" This Is an inNGriable
truth where beauty is concerned.
If we neglect to care for the minor
attributes of beauty in time our
neglect will rob the face of its
chief charm.
Few women pay any attention
whatever to their eyebrows. and
yet they are one Of the most i'm
portant features Of the face. Upon
them depends your expression. If
you stand before mirror and
"ruffie" your eyebrows you Will no.
tice that however smiling your
COuntenenCe may be the expression
Is one Of bewildcrment.
Now brush the brows smoothly to
sweep down in broad line. ana
you will look as solemn. as

ing.
II, however, you brush the brows
to form Il narrow. arched line
above each eye your appearance
will be trig and well Sr"nmrd. ana
your EXPIRE ssion NlVactouS, lhlcI-
leCtual and pleasing,
To beautify the brows brush
them every night. always drawing
the brush in the direction In which
thC hair g"owS. The perfectly
shaped brow resembles a swal-
lows wing.
The hair of the eyebrows should
be short and thick without being
coarse. and if you find that tonic
is rcuuired to improve your scraG-
ly brows, massage them. rubbing In
few drops of oil OF cajeput every
day
"Bushy" bADws can be improved
by applying the smallest quantity
Of grease and pressing the hairs
down with the tips of the fingers.
The proper brush to use for the
eyebrows is shaped somewhat like
toothbrush, but the bristIes
must be fine and sort.
Bathing and Rest.
Tho morning bath Is one of the
essentials of beauty, but its value is
increased a hundred-fold If it is fol-
lowed by sun bath and ten min
utes' exercise.
Wrap Yourself in bathrOb' or

Many Women Among Dead
 Landed At English Ports

Of the Lusitania victims landed at Eng from Queenstown describe the bringing in of the bodies of a great number of women, many of them still unidentified The Queenstown docks are the temporary resting places also of the bodies of sev- eral children. One dead mother still is clasping in her rigid arms the body of her three-months-o baby
 When the Lusitania left New York May l she had on board 1901 souls, 1251 passen- gers and $50 crew. The passengers were made up of 291 in the first ca bin, 591 in the second, and 361 in the steerage The list of survivors shows. so far, that about 90 first class and 75 second class passengers were saved. The first cabin passengers were at lunch when the unheralded Ger
 man attack sent the liner to the bottom. It is noticeable that comparatively few first class passengers were saved
 Among the well known Americans whose bodies have not been recovered and who consequently are believed to have per ished. are Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt | Charles Klein the playwright; Justin N | Forman and Ebert Hubbard and his wife l The body of Charles Frohman of New

 The Cunard warehouse. being used as a temporary morgue, already has been filled and Go more bodies haVe5been taken to the town hall Additional dead lie in hotels and boarding houses, the victims of injuries and. exhaustion
 Still others are at the hospitals to which were taken those whose condition ap- reared most serious
 Two little children brought ashore clasped in each others arms have not yet been identified.

 Trawlers constantly are bringing in more bodies.
 The various craft that went to the scene have returned, all of them bringing survivors. No trace has been found of Alfred G. Vanderbilt or Charles Froh- man
 The latest rescue boats to arrive are bringing mostly bodies of dead picked up at the scene of the disaster. The dead now here number 124 Many of them are women.
 Queenstown authorities are rendering every assistance. The manager of the Cunard line has taken ample hotel ae- commodations as well s rooms in lodging houses and here the survivors are being sent.
 But both men and women rescued, If they are able to walk, refuse to remain in their hotels. They haunt the docks, wait : ing and watching for friends and rela- tives-s~ Many still are bewildered and their accounts of the disaster are not en- trely clear. One and all. however unite in eulcgizing the behavior of the ship s officers.
 Five minutes after the Lusitania was hit with the second torpedo amidships she had listed so that the llfeboats on one side could not be launched at all. The work of getting as many as possible for the most part women and children into the only boats that could be got clear was undertaken at once by the crew and was performed efficiently and with heroism.
 The scene as the big liner went down is described by the survivors as heart rending beyond words. Battling for life. the passengers called to relatives and friends or bade each other goodbye.
 The small boats which had got away picked up many survivors who with life belts or clinging to wreckage were float ing on the surface.

board the Lusitania when she went down. Nor is there anything to show that the rule of the sea favoring women and chill dren in the work of rescue was violated. Many of the liners life boats were rem dered useless by the fact that she listed so sharply that they could not be used.
 Many of the passengers did not believe the Lusitania would sink as quickly as she did. Consequently they did not join in the rush for the life boats, but evidently preferred to trust in their belief that the water tight compartments of the vessel would keep her ahoat until such time $ help came out from the Irish shore, less than 10 miles away. It is related that some of the passengers even disdained to put on life belts when these were handed to them.
 1t Is estimated that there were about l90 Americans on board the Cunard liner. Sc far as could be aseertained at this time fewer than 70 Americans were saved Consequently the death list of Americans is about 120.
 Either two or three torpedoes struck the Lusitania. One report . says the first proiectle was followed by two others striking in quick succession. Another re. port has it that two submarines took part in the onslaught. one attacking from the port and the other from the starboard side.
 In Washington the situation, in view ol | the loss of American lives, is considered most grave. Nowhere in administrative circles is there disposition to minimize | 1t. Secretary Bryan has cabled Ambassa- dor Gerard at Berlin to ask the German

It was only few years ago that the first picture of him was published, although he had been in the theatrical business in various capacities since 1874.

 In 1877 he went west to take charge of the Chicago Comedy company, of which John Dillon was the star. The next year with J. H. Havery he organized the Hav- erly Mastodon Minstrels, which he subse- quently took to England. In the years immediately following he, associated with his brother, Daniel in the management of several successes and established him. self as play broker.
 MT. Frohman5s first real big bid for fortune was in November. 1888, when he obtained the American rights to Bronson Towards Shenandoah" He made $50,000 from this In recent years MT. Froh- mans activities had centered around his Empire theatre here. Since 1897 he had made many productions in London. The F'rohman galaxy of stars includes John Drew Maude Adams, Ethel Barry more, Billie Burke, Blanche Bates, Will liam Gillette and Otis Skinner.
 His belief in the star system-there are more now under the Frohman manage r,eut than ever befOre-aud his loyalty to the older school of English dramatists. have been the distinguishing character istics of his career as a producer now lost Two of his most famous produc- tions, Peter Pan'' and "Chanticleer. were by foreign authors.
