\ JEW YORK-(Special Correspond
IN ence.) THE scant and skinny
eyebrow was last sighted rushing
madly down Fifth avenue in company
with an abbreviated skirt, headed, 1t IS
lrumored. for the warehouse where fem
mime foibles are mothballed and stored
away for a possible future revival or
to be forgotten entirely. Hot In pur-
suit was the ankle length skirt and a
pair of brows looking more like ma
lures own design than they have been
seen in many a moon.
One accusation they cannot make
against US wimmin is a half-hearted-
ness about anything we attempt. When
we commit beauty sins, they are not
yeniaI. When we reform, we reform
all over, as illustrated by the accom-
panying change of the eyebrow depth
with the new skirt length.
If you appear on the street now with
a long skirt and a hairline brow you
are going to be embarrassed to death,
that's all. Nope, the eyebrows must
be visible la~mbrequins for the windows
of the soul.
Pruned But Not PIuckei
I went the rounds of the Plaza, the
Ritz, Sherry's and upper Fifth and
Park avenues, studying faces TO sub
stantiate my story of the departed
shade (line) and it stands substantial
ed By the ultra smart and beautiful.
Also. l visited several beauty parlors
with smart clientele where l found no
evidence that massacre had been done
there of late to full grown healthy
brows.
Some of the observed brows did not
look as though they had been put on
a reducing diet Mt all. Fairly weight
lily they emerged from beneath shaded
hat brims. Pruned, yes! But not
plucked!
1t is reasonable to believe that eye
brows had on their initiation some
place in the scheme Of beauty. Quite
a place-when you think it over, be-
cause you cannot consider them neces-
sary to health or of use to any of the
five senses, so they must have been in
tended as a purely decorative touch. |
suppose when the first face was made
there seemed TO be something missing
after the eyes and the nose and the
mouth and checks and chin were all
set up-and so the eyebrows were
thought OF. At any rate, there they
are-providing a dash of character, if
not yanked out by the roots with
tweezers. and an effectively symmetri-
cal line to the face.
1923 Lines Graceful
I am thankful for the long skirt if it
brought back the eyebrow au natural.
1t may be just coincidental that they
came back together, after doing a long
term in the aforesaid storage place.
For If my memory serves me right,
they went out together to make way
for the short skirt and denuded brow.
Certainly the 1928 edition of the
| p-nunn haotftfn1 Ic a. AnltnhffNI thing
to have around the home. with her
alluringly graceful lines and the old
time rein to the Imagination she pro-
vides. 1t follows. too. her dancing is
going to be a more pleasing sight for
a sensitive eye on account OF the re-
stricted skirt width and length. One
might be led to believe from all of
the signs of beauty and fashion ap-
Ipearing on the horizon that the pendu-
lum has swung a revival of the old
fashioned girl in all her feminine glory.
Tweeze Out a Few at a Time
But whether the skirt goes down to
caress your ankles or not, the eye
brows should be coaxed to maturity,
for such is the beauty dictum for
1923. There's no reason why you can
not have your own advanced showing,
however. II you have two full sets
lOL udlI IuiIISitS " tbEOWluS PAOluSNiys
you may step right upon the stage
and bow your own thanks. II they
need pruning, stay behind for a min
ute until that is done. For, of course,
no 1923 model will have her brow re-
sembling a garden run to seed. She
may get out her tweezers and deftly
extract the weeds by the roots. There
is a smartly defined line of eyebrow
even though they be marked. The
outlying f~ollicles may shoot out hairs
which. allowed to run rampant, give
the same u~ngroomed looks az stray
wisps of hair falling over the ears.
For these / recommend the use OF
tweezers, not the razor, even though
it be of diminutive and feminine gen.
der. Tweeze out but a few at a time.
Painful? Now, what's a little pain be
tween eyebrows and a lady? 1t Won't
be like a gentle massage, to be sure,
but I never heard of anyone who needed
an epitaph after this operation.
If there are stray hairs, noticeably
heavy. between the eyes they should
