and potatoes, tended the cows, and

COMRADES.

Faithful jealous little buddy,
You were always close to me,
Close in every hour of danger
AS we fought across the sea.
You were always my companion
In the watches of the night,
In the cold mud in the trenches,
In the perils of the fight.
When in No-Man's Land | ventured
And | prayed to Heaven to guide
When the star shells burst above us
You were always at my side.
When lay chilled and unsheltered
. In the cold and soaking rain.
You were with me, always busy,
Making me forget my pain.
For you never left me lonely,
Always was your presence near;
And | never will forget you,

WHITE COLLAR MEN.

The white collar men
Who push at a pen
And click the typewriter keys
Have come to the fore
With a one hundred score
In perilous times like these.
They're a trif1e raw,
Some might pick flaw
In the way they shovel coal,
Or throw a switch,
Or give brakes to a twitch;
But somehow they reach the goal
So wheels turn, few,
And some cars get through,
And we don't stand still or quit;
And the milk and the mail
Some way don't fail
It's the work of men of grit. %
All the honors, then,
To the white collar men!
They renew our faith in the breed,
AS of who averred,
when / give my word
You can bank that it is my deed"

clip the lashes back trifie, using fine
embroidery or manicure scissors with
the points held away from the eye.
This is a delicate task, better done by
some other person. Yet, If you lean
close to the mirror you can do 1t your
self. The lash on both the upper and
under lid should be clipped. This will
make them grow in longer and thicker,
too.
The eyebrows, too, will benefit by
clipping, but this is something most
women would hesitate about, as the
short hairs would show more readily
than on the lashes. Vaseline is about
the best thing to use as tonic, and is
always the chief ingredient Of expen-
sive preparations.
The lashes should be clipped back
once a month for at least three
months. By this time, in connection
with the use Of tonic, they will have
sufficient stimulation to grow thick
and long.
