However, when Bunny returned

rabbits living in there" whis-
pered Bobby.
But what does Bunny mean
when he says returned for the
winter I didn't know that rab-

We went on our way and trav-
eled south to Italy. One day
when we were Just about roast

"It must be nice and cool up

Bunny" I laughed, "you're a

"Hooray" shouted Bobby, and
Bunny gave a sigh Of relief as he
famed himself with his right

So to the Alps we went and

Naturally, everyone who goes

Now mountain climbing means

1t did to Bobby una me, so while

" HE little black patch Of
court plaster, or "mouche"
u (fly). as the French call it,
has wandered back into fashion.
But it has changed position and
now has the place Of honor be-
tween the eyebrows.
One famous lady. so they say,
used to wear her "mouche" at the
left corner Of her mouth, and
Mrs. Pepys wore several patches,
in all manner of shapes. clustered
about one cheek, near the corner
Of the eye. Now It is on the forc-
head that the patch must go,
high up or low down. as your
choice may be.
The Empire vogue, which un.
doubtedly had a little to do with
bringing back the fly patch, has
had a marked effect on summer
jewelry. Earrings, made Of small
canoes as well as large ones, are
seen at all the smart gatherings.

from slender links of platinum.
Empire bracelets, wide-link at
fairs which fit the arm closely
and are finished off by a large
clasp made Of cameo, are also
very smart and are worn with
the earrings to match. And, by
the way, canoes are quite the
newest for garter-clasps. Beige

the new tones of the stockings.
A very modern bracelet watch
, that has little connection with
Empire days gives more attention
to the bracelet than to the watch.
It is made Of large platinum links
set with tiny diamonds, and in the
center of one of these links the
watch itself nestles. This new

TNHE, one who has received

It. returning an impersonal ex-

The shortest note is enough. It

AGLOW WITH BEAUTY
Seize Every Opportunity to Rest Your
Eyes in Train, Street Car or Bus
By Closing Them.

train, street car or bus, the
subway or in q taxi. Just close
your eyes at such moments and
indulge in the pleasure Of medi-
tation while you rest. We take
too little time for quiet thinking
nowadays. So moments spent In
thought while you rest your eys
will be doubly profitable.
II they feel a bit hot or tired,
do not hesitate to battle your
eyes as often as several times
day in warm or hot water. Rinse
them afterward in clear, cold wa
ter in which a wee pinch Of salt
has been dissolved.
Another refreshing eye wash
il half q tumblerful Of water into
which has been sprinkled about
a third of a teaspoonful Of pow
dered boraic acid.
OF course, there are any num-
Der of refreshing eye washes that
may be recommended for their
identifying properties. But the
two I have suggested are so
simple that the most conserva.
tive persons need not hesitate to
use them.
An eye cup is the best way to
apply these eye washes. Fill the
cup with the eye wash, place II
directly over your eye, then throw
your head straight back SO that
the lotion will reach every part
of your eye. Sink your eye in
the bath. Repeat this opera
ton several times.
Eyes made red by weeping-let
US hope yours may never be in
this condition-may be improved
in appearance and refreshed by
laying over them a cloth that
has been soaked in hot water.
Look to your general health in
order to make sure that the
whites of your eyes are the clear
blue-white they should be. Drink
plenty of water. Eat fruit and
vegetables.
Il you are wise, you will leave
your eyebrows as nature planned
them. Plucking the eyebrows In
evitably hardens the face. Both
eyelashes can be encouraged to
grow luxuriantly by rubbing q
little lanolin into them each
night. But be careful not to get
it into your eyes.
Do not try to change. the color
of your lashes and brows, for this
also has a hardening effect. Light
lashes go best wie6 blonde
coloring and add piquant delicacy
to the expression.
No beauty advice is more SEN
sible than this:
When you are tired, rest.
Likewise. when your eyes arr
tired, rest them in the ways /
have mentioned.
Above all, remember that eyes
cannot be beautiful unless they
have lovely thoughts to reflect.

The Tapping
Window Shade
BY HI. A. Callahan

Nobody loves a flapper, If IT
happens to be a Tapping window
shade. Perhaps the reason for
this Is that most shades behave
perfectly untn Just as you are
ready to step into bed Then
you open the window at the top,
and the music begins. Flap,
flap, Happily, flap" until some
thing simply must be done to
save your sanity.
The simplest way to deal with
a Tapping shade is his:
Push the bottom Of the shade
slightly to one side SO that one
end Of the thin wooden rod rests
against the side Of the casing,
Then bend the middle Of the rod
toward you and slip the other end
against the window pane 90 that
when you release It It win spring
out against the side Of the sash
frame.
On almost every window the
distance from the inner edge of
the casing to the inner edge of
the opposite side of the sash
frame is a little bit less than the
length Of the rod at the bottom
Of the shade.
Therefore the rod will rcmain
bent and its springiness will
hold 1t tightly wedged between
these two upright members of the
window woodwork. The annoying
Tapping will Immediately stop.

MEANS Is FOUND GUILTY
He and Jarnecke Are Convicted of
Having Conspired to With
draw Liquor Illegally

CASTOR B. Means, former agent OF the
Department of Justice, and his secretary,
Elmer w Jarnecke, on June 80 were con-
victed in New York of having conspired
with boot1eggers illegally to withdraw
whisky from distilleries. The jury was
out only one hour. The prisoners were
given Immediately into the custody of the
United States marshal and taken to the
Tombs
The indictments, returned against them
in 1923, charged Means and Jarnecke with
having entered into a conspiracy to re-
move SO barrels of rye whisky from the
Sam Thompson Distillery in Brownsville,
Pa, to a warehouse in Pittsburgh. Gov
eminent witnesses testified that Jarnecke
had been given $15,097.60 with which to
pay the tax and remove the whisky and
that Means received $5,2o7.60 of this
money.
The whisky according to witnesses be-
longed to John w. Hubbard of Trenton,
N. J., steel magnate, and friend of Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mellon. He adj
mitted during the trial that he had desired
to obtain the release of the liquor for bev-
erage purposes and that he had given
Charles w. Johnson, former Uniontown,
Pa, brewer, the money with which to OBJ
tain the release. Johnson told the jury
that Means had promised to help him,
claiming influence with Jess Smith, friend
of former Attorney General Daugherty.
Means admitted having entered into ne
gotiations for the removal of the whisky,
but contended that he had done so in his
capacity as an investigator to obtain evil
dence against big bootleggers and infuen-
tial men suspected of violating the prohi-
btion law. He swore that letter signed
by President Harding, authorizing him to
make an investigation, had been stolen
from him March 81, by department of JUS
tice agents while he was assisting the
Brookhart committee in investigating the
department of justice.
