Normal. healthy eyes need no ablu-
tons other than that given with the
daily rinse after the face wash. Only

one resort to horacic acid solutions.
| And one might reasonably judge that
eyes beautiful in color and shape are
purely gifts of the gods. One cannot
change them.
Shading Away Gracefully
With eyebrows it is different. One
NAV be s~cantily endowed and one may
be ov~erindulged, and yet by clever art-
flee remold the fine short hairs into
a most artistic line.
In real life Miss Katherine's eye
brows. in my opinion. are of much love-
lier architecture than when prepared
for the screen. They shade away
gracefully just at the outer edge of
the eyelid. Perhaps it is necessary in
making up for the screen to exagger-
ate every feature: at any rate, the
line is extended just a trifle too far
to be natural. This gives an air of
artificiality in the photographs taken
in the screen roles.
Au naturel. they do not need any
%retouching. They are at least two
shades darker than her hair, and, by
contrast. appear even darker. which
gives character to her brow and eyes.
Her lashes, too. are dark like her
brows. Her eyebrows are not pulled
or tweezed into the hair line of the
flapper maid. and consequently they
suffer not that hardened sophistry of
the boulevard vamp.
Commenting on this. Miss MacDon-
aid said. Young girls all have the
same pulled eyebrows, the same rouged
cheeks. the same scarlet lips: their
only distinction is a distinct
ness.
Promoting Their Growth
But yellow vaseline and a tiny eye
brow brush are given credit by this
beautiful woman for her finely arched
brows. Every day-often twice and
sometimes thrice-they get attention.
1t depends upon how often the make
iup goes on and comes off. But the
tiny brush is dipped into vaseline.
and the line of eyebrow followed clev-
erly. This has promoted their
growth she confessed, land it has
trained them into the way they should
GO
On the street she never uses any
darkening a%rtifice. For picture work
she does, Her eyelashes are brushed
with the vaseline, too, and perhaps
their luxuriant growth may be in part
attributed TO the practice. The eye
lash makeup required on the screen is
never carried outside her studio work;
consequently. the great beauty of Miss
MacDonald's eyes is their freedom from
theatrical effect.
Thinks Hands Never Lie
: Miss Macdonald wakes eloquent on
the subject of hands. Studying hands
is her favorite form of character an
alysis.
II observe hands first. I do believe

Perhaps that is why hers are SO

seeing them busily at work on an ex-

in needlework. I remember being per-

a soldiers sweater. -
This particular bag, Miss Macdonald
told me, was a duplicate of q $40 one:
She proudly announced to me she would
have hers for less than $40. This is
one Of her favorite pastimes. She has
made a number of smart silk and bead
ed bags for her family and friends. She
claims to be a good seamstress, too.
All of which. somehow, adds much to
the beauty of her hands. You, too.
have seen hands that are perfectly
nodded according to the most exacting
standards. white and handsomely mani
cured, which remind you of nothing so
much as a vapid, empty doll face. To
be truly beautiful hands must have a
touch of the practical within their
grasp. Character, that's what they
must have.
ManIcuring Is Simple
