~ HRIsTMAS DAY Is the beginning
 of a joyful week cram full oi
 merry-making and of meetings with old friends.
 You will hear SO often. How are you?' or perhaps. You look so well-'' The number of times you hear the latter depends upon the beauty care you have taken of yourself.
 Beautiful eyes are such a help at this time! They can express the sparkle you feel within. and equally as gratifying they stir the admiration of your friends
 Thick lashes are not among the least of the attractions of beautiful eyes The shiny look is enhanced by thick, curling lashes, which frame the eye as trees frame the dwelling which they shade. Your lashes, like the hairs on your head, renew themselves from the roots. Therefore, tn. way to encour- ago beautiful Iashes is to keep them in . strong. healthy condition. To do this you must nourish the roots.
 This does not mean that the ends cannot be improved Indeed, if after that the ends of your eyeIashes are split the split ends should be carefully trimmed off. This will require fine scissors and a very steady hand.
 I advise that you get young person whose hands do not trenble to do the clipping You want to take off only a siny fraction of the length of the hair Preferably. you should clip only the Aatrs that are split, and be careful not

ONG before we had finished Mrs.
 Barher's delicious supper I had sat A isfied myself upon two points of the problem which the escapade of Dicky and Claire Foster had presented to me. Claire Foster was not in love with my husband, and there had been no tender passages between them.
 I was sure, also, that the girl, head strong, self-centered, careless of other peoples rights as she was, yet had not deliberately attracted Dicky's atten- tion as had Bess Dean, for instance. Dfcky had taken the initiative, had sought her company. and had urged the air excursions upon her. would have my convictions.
 But there was another question that was vital to me, which puzzled me greatly, and set my pulses throbbing with an emotion holding both fear and anger in it.
 What was Dicl1y's feeling for Claire Foster?
 Whether because of my own vanity or From my years of experience with my Peter Pan, 1t had not occurred to me to doubt my husbands essential loyalty of spirit had been bitterly angry with him for subjecting me to such a per formance this which I had just been compelled to experience. but I had felt no fear of losing his love such as had come to me twice before, once In the hrst year of my marriage when Grace Draper had caused me so much mental anguish by Dicky's apparent infatuation for her. and later when I had felt that Edith Fairfax's deep and apparently hopeless love for him was at last meet ing a response.

HOW JAMES BREWER
MET HIS DEATH

The following Yuba City, Cal, dis
patch to Marysville newspaper,
gives the details of how James Brew
er, former Ladysmith boy, met his
death last week.
" BA CITY, July Thames e.
Brewer, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver e.
Brewer, of this place, and student in
the sophomore class of the Marysyille
highschOol, was drowned in the Feath-
er river at the new Yuba City sand
bar, Yuba City, last evening at 4
o'clock. Theodore Anderson and the
latter's brother, sons of the Rev. Eus-
tace Anderson, and James Barr, son of
Dr. ]. A. Barr, narrowly escaped the
same fate, when they attempted the
rescue OF their companion. T e
drowning lad grappled those who went
to his aid and it was only with fine
display of TACT that they escaped
drowning with the doomed lad.
Young Brewer was swimming to a
raft in mid-stream when he showed
signs of weakening, supposedly from
heart attack. The Anderson boys
were close to him, but did not hear
him utter a cry. They were attract
ed to him when he began to sink. The
body was in the water only a short
time when recovered by Wendell Wal
ton, who was taken to the scene in a
boat
Besides his parents, the dead boy
leaves two sisters, Clara and Marian
Brewer, and two brothers, Lyle and
Leslie Brewer. He was II years of
age and native of Iowa.
