any girl who doesn't envy the sheen of
certain heads? No one need necessarily
be born with hair like that to have it.
Nor, on the other hand, need one resort
to brilliantine to acquire it. For all
hands have secretions of natural oil in
the palms, just enough to impart a pref
ty gloss to the hair, if "smooths"
long enough. So much more saved on
artificial means.
But if there be any single feature that
can make" or mar a face, it is the eye

though, according to the alarming rate
at which eyebrows are coming out, and
the way the eyebrow pencil is going on.
I will admit that such measures are sue
cessful in certain cases, but l also con-
tend that they aren't necessary in half
the cases. Having ones eyebrows
shaved and then pencilcd is pretty much
a fad, and nothing more. Again ! am
for the easier, more natural method of
brushing the brows into shape and dark

without the bother of continuous pulling
and penciling. Simply brush the hairs
into the desired arch, and pinch them
with the fingers into a narrow line.
Where the hairs are scant and light in
color, a regular massage with a little bit
of vaselinc will do wonders to make
them naturally thick and darker.
Just think how much pin money you
youngsters can save by this natural
method of prinking. But quite the
incest part of it all is the delightful
easiness Of it. Then it means so much
less wear and tear on a youthful face.
So leave the cosmetics to those who
simply can't get along without them!

from the remains of the roast and

enough to serve the family.
In addition l had a lettuce salad and
for dessert two pieces of raspberry pie
and three helpings of caramel gelatinc.
My emergency menu suggested cscal-
oped salmon, but the time was too short.
So l emptied a can of baked beans into
my casserole, covered it with wafer-like
strips of bacon and put in oven till ba-

From the mashed potato, milk and

the reason can nearly always be traced
to ill health, to continue staying up late,
or to some other mild dissipation. But
when checks arc only periodically color
less, deep breathing can restore them
in a satisfying short time. You see,
when you take a long inhalation and let
it out slowly, and do it again, you are
pumping up blood. Soon that circula-

vastly better looking than that which

pale faces, arc ready indications that all

no natural way to induce color into the

REPAIRING CHINA AND
OLD BRIC-A-BRAC

CELMA was the only girl in our
set who went to a boarding
school. Whenever she came back
for her vacation or for the holidays she
was sure to be surrounded by a bevy of
girls who fairly hung on her words and
who in the privacy Of their rooms aped
her gestures and affected her walk and
name of speech. On the fringe of this
admiring circle I lowered. To me, Sell
ma was a celestial being. I listened with
bated breath to her stories of college
life, thickly sprinklcd with jolly pranks
and well-seasoned with the inevitable
midnight repast of fudge, olives and
pickles, and her tales of staying awake
all night "cramming for an exam" fas-
cinated me beyond measure. To be
finished" in a boarding school became
my one incentive in LIE.
CHANGING backward in later years it
hardly seems possible that I. could have
suffered as %poignantly as l did or the
day when my parents pricked my gayly-
colored bubble and l saw my cherished
hope vanish. My father treated the
whole matter as a joke, but my mothers
eyes grew misty as she gently told me
that going to college was out of the
question and that it was all they could
do to keep me in the public school until
I graduated. My mother was a staunch
believer iii work as a panacea, and in
order to keep my mind from dwelling
on my disappointment she made ar
rangcments with a neighboring woman
to teach me china painting in return for
some of her excellent preserves.
Years passed and l was married. A
few more years and I was building for
my baby daughter the same air castles
that I myself once inhabited.
One day l took little Helen to spend
a few hours with the same Selma who
had been the object Of my enviors
pangs. Selma, too, had married and
was the proud posscssor of a splendid
husband, a robust little boy and a fine
home. She no longer referred to the
college days. Her talk nowadays gen
orally started with when I was abroad
that summer" On that trip she had
collected and brought with her ZONE
rare and valuable pieces of bric-a-brac.
A pair Of exquisite china candlesticks
Of the oldest design, graced Selma's
dressing table. While we were deep in
a DISCUSSION of the relative merits Of
barley water and top milk, baby Helen
slylv crept on q chair and possessed
herself of a eandlestiek, which prompt
ly slipped from her chubby hands and
broke in four pieces. / took the pieces
and spent an aeonizing week haunting
every store and antique shop in the
vain effort of replacing it. At length
one shopkeeper suggested my mending

cement. and rather laboriously I fitted

painted a vine with tiny tendrils in .
harmonious color right over the crack.
This really proved an added attraction,
and when l painted the other candle
stick to match Selma was delighted
with them.
The incident was speedily crowded
out of my mind by the swift march of
time and its increasing duties. Baby
Helen developed into a bright. lively
girl and there were now two other sis
tiers. Somehow, the plans that I had 50
eagerly formulated when Helen was an
infant, didn't wear the same rosy hue.
Ny husbands salary had increased, it is
true, but so had our needs. Secretly I

selected n for Helen, who, by the way,
wouldn't be ready to go for another
four years! Five hundred dollars q
year wa the price. 1t was as unatta;n-
able a. the moon itself. I suppose all
fond mothers will appreciate the somber
mood that enveloped me, and which
wasn't lightened by any means when I
saw Selma coming up the street. The
pangs of Jealousy again rugged at my
heart as I greeted her. Her children
would no doubt 60 to boarding school
and mine would no doubt get no further
than l did. At that moment 1 was in
sympathy with every socialist. But Sell
ma had come to ask me a favor, she exc
planned, as she produced a heap Of
broken china. A careless maid had
broken an ice bowl, a gift Of a relativs
who was expected on a visit shortly.
Would l try to mend il. l had done 80
nicely with the c~andlestick, she was
sure l would be able to do the am
with the fragments Of china she brought
me. l set to work and mended it and
after it was thoroughly dry l worked
up the color of the bowl, and the crack
was barely d%iscernible.
1t was then that l resolved to turn
my knack Of painting and mending
china into money. l think that the very
ingenuity Of the work helped it eon.id-
erably, but I had to do a great deal of
advertising before I got any business.
Gradually l acquired quite \ reputation,
and as only articles of value are worth
