By JULIET SHELBY

Eyes have become more than

they should go.
Cinema makeup experts say
we can style our faces by the
lift Of an eyebrow, and that a
really distinctive eyebrow job
will do more than anything else
to give glamour and charm. For
bigger and better eyebrows, let
there be no wild plucking, and
when it comes to shaping them,
take a lesson from Hollywood
and forget stereotyped forms.
Let your natural eyebrows grow
and groom them to harmonic
with the shape and expression
of your eyes. With this goal in
mind, an eyebrow brush, mas
cara for darkening the color,
and a good eye for line are all
you need to look really differ.

Eyes, 5rows and lashes must

care. Preserve the natural beauty
Of your eyes by rest, eye exer-
cises and faithful bathing night
and morning with mild salt
water, boracic acid solution or a
good eye tonic. Then learn to
heighten their beauty with a
touch of art.
If the lashes are light or
scanty, a touch of mascara
makes them appear longer and
the eyes surprisingly larger and
brighter. And mascara no longer
inclines to come off. Eye cos
metics may be used today with
out smarting, smudging or run

Mascara should be applied
lightly and swiftly. First wet
the brush, shake off all excess
moisture and rub the almost
dry brush lightly over the COS
metic until the edge of the brush
is well covered. Then hold your
mirror high, your head tilted
backward. and with the right
hand apply mascara to the
lashes, using an upward stroke.
To make the lashes appear longer
and curling, apply it clear out to
the tips. For best effect, repeat
the application several times,
first on one eye, then the other,
giving each coating time to dry.

For furnishing your home is
a matter of your own taste.
Whether you want English,
early American, modern, Span
iSh, Italian or French furniture
is up to you. Or you may COM
bine them, or simply have a
home in which no period pre-
dominates. So I will try to di-
versify a bit.
French Widely Copied
The French furniture of the
three Louis is the best known,
and is still widely copied and
used. Louis XIV was the first,
and he lived in such majestic
way, with all the courtierS hav-
ing to attend even such a minor
function as his arising in the
morning, that the furniture re-
fleets the magnificence and for
mality of his reign.
Carving, marquetry, lacquer,
gliding, inlay and metal mount
ings are among the decorations
used at this time, on large, mag
nificent angular furniture,
which is suitable only for rooms
of the same type, so that it isn't
used much today.
More Graceful
Then came Louis XIV, who
was only a boy when he came
to the throne. He was not in
terested in grandeur, but rather
in elegance, and so the furni-
ture took on the characteristics
of his court.
Curves were used everywhere.
Chairs had caned or upholstered
seats. Furniture was graceful,
beautiful, extremely comforta-
BILE. Fine silken fabrics were
used and the effect was dainty,
elaborate, feminine.
But few of us have homes
suitable for such daintiness to-
day. And so it is the furniture
of the time Of Louis XVI that is
copied and used the most. Dec
grafton was more restrained.

lines Straighter, more classical,

still there.

Skye errier Is
Faithful But
Sur|y
By Liz HUME

Peter is living to be an old
man, He is the Scottish ter
rier pictured on this page be-
longing to Representative Rich
ard Wigglesworth of MasSachu-
setts, and Mrs. Wigglesworth.
Peter is II years old, but just
as lively as ever.
We have already chatted at
great length on the virtues OF
this popular breed OF dog, one OF
the best loved of all house pets.
And so today we will extoll a
few of the merits of the ScottyS
first cousin the skye terrier.
Old Breed
This is one of the oldest breeds
in Scotland, having it's origin in
the island from which. 1t taxes
it's name. Strangely enough,
the breed was originally called
Scottish terrier. In fact all OF
the Scottish terriers were so des-
ignated at first.
The Bishop Ross, who wrote
in the sixteenth century says:
There is also another kind OF
scenting dog Of low height out
of bulkier body, which, creeping
into subterraneous burrows,
routs out foxes, badgers, mar
tens. and. wildcats from their
lurking places and dens."
He doubtless referred to the
ancestors of our modern Skye
terriers.
Logical Result
The Skye terrier is a most
companionable and faithful dog
to the person to whom he be-
comes attached. But he is not
as open in disposition as his
little cousin, the Scotty.
He is one of the most surly
dogs that goe to a show, and
is often dangerous to handle.
This surliness in the Skye is a
natural characteristic, inherited
probably. 1t is the logical out
come of nervousness created
by the fact that he is buried
in uc.l long, thick h..ir that he
can hardly see.
To those of you who are not
familiar with the appearance
of the Skye, / will describe
hi1l as follows:
He is usually dark, light blue,
gray or fawn, with black points.
In his build he resembles the
Scotty, although he has a coat
of very long hair. which en-
tirely covers his eyes anc al.

Advice To The
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
written exclusively for The
WASHINGTON TimeS.)

Dazed-No Wonder
Dear Miss Fairfax:
was invited to a party, and
told to bring a girl. I asked
a girl and then forgot all
about it. Last night another
girl suggested call on her. I
did, and became so engroSsed
that I forgot all about the
first girl, and invited the
second girl to go to this party.
The party is to be very
soon. What am I going to
do? It was a dumb thing to
get into that kind of scrape.
I like the second girl best, but
I suppose the sporting thing
to do is take the one asked
first. But what shall say?
We are all in the same high
school. I am 20 years OF age.
DAZED.
My dear boy, you have hit
the nail on the head when
you say the sporting thing to
do is to take the girl you
asked first. In that case, you
have only got to tell the
second girl that when you in
vited her, you forgot all about
having asked the first girl.
It's an awkward situation, but
you cannot take both girls,
can you?
It is, however, not a matter
of life and death. I might
make this suggestion as a way
out. The first girl may be
as indifferent to you as you
appear to have been to her.
If you give her a chance, she
may call off the date, in favor
of someone she likes better
than yourself. It will take
some diplomacy, but believe
you can manage it.
A Proper Introduction
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 4 young man of 10
years Of age. There's a girl
whom I like very much, but I
have no means of being intro
duced to ner. Can't you sug-
gest some way proper intro
duction might be managed? I
would not feel right about try
ing to meet her on the street.
I think that would offend her,
yet I don't know anyone who
knows her. B.V.B.
I am very glad, indeed, that
you would not attempt to speak
to girl, perfect stranger, with
out an introduction. Being self
respecting, she will certainly
resent such a liberty. Perhaps
If you are discreet about it,
you can find out where she
lives, her name and the names
of the members of her family.
In that way, your chances for
a proper introduction would be
multiplied.
II she goes to church or
Sunday school, or you find
she belongs to some social
clubs, or neighborhood associa-
tions, you could meet her in
that way.
