The possessor of beautiful eyes should be profoundly thankful and should guard them as her greatest treasure. Speaking1 of them "as the windows of the soul" is an old and time-worn expression, still it is so true that one can scarcely refrain from advising the keeping of the soul, mind and heart pure, for these are the first requisites for beautiful eyes. Ill-nature and passion should be avoided. But clear, frank, undismayed eyes should be cultivated, for they have a1 beauty independent of their shape and color.

The condition of the eyebrows wi eyelashes often detracts from the beauty of the eye. If such is the case, on occasions one may indulge in artificial means for increasing that beauty, but it should be remembered that a "madeup" eye is bad form.

The eyebrows being the most important feature we will first consider them. They should never be cut, as this will make the hair grow coarse and wiry. In case they are deficient, it is a good plan to brush them with a small brush which can be bought for that purpose (or a clean, soft tooth brush answers admirably), dipped in cocoanut oil or odorless castor oil. This will assist their growth very materially, and che brushing will make them soft and glossy.

The reason I advise applying the above emollient is that the brows are constantly being exhausted of their natural oils by the excessive use of the water in washing the face, thus causing them to become dry and brittle. This in turn causes them to break and become uneven.

The eyebrows should be brushed often, and in doing so the brush should always be drawn in the direction in which the hair grows. Then, every j.ight they should be massaged in the direction that the hair grows. The stroking should be done with the thumb and forefinger of either hand, the stroke being sufficiently strong to induce rapid circulation. If a tonic is required, sulphate of quinine dissolved in water Is a good one.

Never, if one can possibly avoid doing so, use an eyebrow pencil, as they usually make the hairs come out. If one wishes to darken the eyebrows take a very small stump (such as is used in drawing) and after holding it in the smoke of a candle pass it gently over the eyebrows until they are shaded as desired, taking care that you do not overdo it.

THE

training of the eyelashes should be begun in childhood, for aside from the beauty which they lend to the eye they serve as a protection. Cutting the lashes in childhood will cause them to grow long and thick but cutting them afterwards is a fatal experiment, as they seldom grow long again.

However, about once every four to six weeks they may be carefully clipped as follows: Seated before a mirror in a good .light, carefully examine each hair, and if it appears split, bent or out of condition it should be lightly clipped at the tip. To promote the growth of the eyelashes rub in a little cocoanut oil each night before retiring to bed.

Rubbing the eyes is a bad practice. It results in breaking and rubbing out the lashes. Sties are also injurious to the lashes, and usually imply debility. The old custom of rubbing them with a plain gold ring is not to be despised the pressure and friction exicite the vessels of the lid and cause an absorption

of the suffused matter under the eyelash. The beauty of the ear is too little regarded. An ear to be beautiful must not be too small it should be delicate, compact and have an agreeable tinge of red.

To alter the shape or size of the ear would be impossible. But ears that protrude to any extent may be corrected if dealt with in early years, when it is comparatively easy to train them into natural position. Later in life it becomes, of course, more difficult to correct this error of nature, but by no means impossible. A broad band of ribbon may be bound over the ears at night and worn some part of the dav. without any real inconvenience. The treatment will in time rectify partially, if not entirely, tins blemish to beauty.

Should the ears be lacking In .color this may be supplied by gently manipulating them if not done vigorously the increased circulation which ensues will lend a beautiful pink tinge, and if repeated now and then an even tone may be retained throughout the evening.

When one is so unfortunate as to have ugly, deformed ears, I would suggest that the hair be arranged In such a manner that they will, to a certain degree, be obscured. This can be done with a little study, and will not detract from the becomingness of the coiffure.

rOMEN of to-day do not have the luxuriant growth of hair that was manifested in olden times, a fact which is undoubtedly due to the treatment to which the hair is subjected. This scantiness of hair is a source of worry when it comes to arranging the coiffure. When such is the case apd one does not vish to adopt artificial hair,

one much then rely upon the use of a headdress or hair ornaments to fill In the vacancy and detract frohi the scantiness.

While all sorts of coiffure decorations may be bought, they may be easily fashioned at home. One usually has an abundance of ribbon, flowers, jewelled ornaments, ^ancy feathers and perhaps is the lucky possessor of a bunch of aigrettes. All these may be utilized in forming a headdress and is often the means of saving several dollars in the purchase price.

Perhaps little lines are manifesting themselves here and there upon the face. They may be due to age, habit or weather but from whatever cause steps snould at once be taken to arrest thgir

Have water boiling, then simmer two ounces of quince seed in twenty ounces of water for forty minutes strain, add two ounces of pure alcohol and a few drops of scent if desired when cold bottle and keep tightly corked.

This should be put on the complexion before retiring at night, first working it well in. When a fresh application is made allow it to dry on.

as possible should be served out of doors in hot weather. Breakfast is particularly enjoyable eaten out of doors, for early morning is the freshest, most beautiful time of day and a meal eaten under such pleasant conditions is sure to effect one for the rest of the day.

Even in the city the very early morning is fresh and pleasant and as much of the daily work as possible should be accomplished in the cool of the day.

THE

old nursery couplet, "Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes,' made famous by Miss Blanche

Ring in her pretty song of that name, oould hardly be applied to the average woman, for, in many cases, she takes excellent care of her finger nails, but slights those upon her feet. perhaps this fact is never noted to better advantage than at the swimming school. Here, on those days or half days that are devoted to the feminine sex, many strange apparitions are to be seen. As one onlooker afterwards lr. the bosom of her family declared: I never knew there were so many queershaped women In the world.

One-piece suits are in favor and the •tout and lean, the ill-favored and the comely stand forth bravely, recking little of watchful eyes.

Stockings are not worn, and so fair woman's foot comes to light for once in Its life, and not in one case out of five will you see the nails of the foot anything but distorted, uncared for, abused looking specimens. perhaps the cause of this was laid In childish days, when it was always too much trouble to clip the toe-nail or perhaps it is because the toe is not so sensitive as some other portions of the body, allowing hurts to be Inflicted on

without acute pain and slowly, dumbly healing the wound afterward with but little protest.

However it may be, it seems that anything at all is good enough so far as the care of the toe-nail is concerned, and the nail itself and the skin around is accorded almost barbarous 111-

usage. "Nay, her foot speaks," says Shakespeare and it would be well if it could speak forcibly and to the point, so that ii might secure more justice and describe its miseries in potent terms though to be sure we are all well aware of its voice sometimes when we have gone a little too far in the matter of a tight or ill-fitting shoe.

rir» HE whole subject of the rigntful care of the foot is a large ono but it is only within the scope of this article to speak of the rightful care of the

study. Virgil says of the goddess of beauty of love, Venus: "And the true goddess is shown by her going." and this might be paraphrased to read "the true woman is revealed by the care which she bestows upon all of her person 'or we all know the type of girl or woman who will proudly don a fine gown over untidy lingerie or hope to atone by a lavish use of powder for the marks resulting from a niggardly use of soap and water.

To wish for shining, well-shaped

ger nails is very natural on the part of the damsel who wishes to appear in good trim but at the same time she should extend this same care to the rails on her feet, even if these arc never seen she at last sees them and knows whether they are all that they should be and this knowledge in all things tends to the proper sort of selfrespect. For, after all, the right care of beauty, the right cp.re of the body is done because it is right and not merely for the sake of appearance.

less a person than the savant. Professor Herman Meyer, of the University of Zurich, had a great deal to say many years ago of the importance to the health and wellbeing of the entire body that the great toe of the foot should lie straight, should be in all respects fitted to act as the fulcrum which bears almost all of the weight of the body, as the foot is used in walking.

Therefore the nail of the great toe must be rightly shaped and cared for too, has its share of responsi-

are thick and homy, or wore down into irregular displeasing shapes. The nail of the great toe should be broad, flat and smooth, even as the nail of the thumb. It should not be too flat upon the flesh nor should it be too curved, for this latter condition tends to become exaggerated, so that the ends of the curve press deeper and deeper into the flesh.

A slight "half-moon" should be visible and it should be worn long enough to show a slight rim of white abovo the pink and the cuticle at its base should not be dry and harsh, but soft, free of hangnails and rounding in an unbroken curve from one end to the other.

Surely none of this Is a difficult thing to accomplish. A little care once a week with a pair of curved nail scissors, a pair of cuticle scissors, a file, an emery board, an orange wood stick with a little bit of cotton to be used under the nail edge and the work Is easily done.

FIB American shoe is rightfully deemed the finest in the world. Americans abroad sometimes regTet their folly If they patronize any shop where American shoes are not for sale. English walking boots are very much overrated articles, as all Americana know who once give them a trial. They may be comfortable on feet calloused and accustomed to their various Ins and outs, but the American foot more gratefully accommodates Itself to the American last.

See that the shoes are amply long If you wish to avoid a bunion, which can make one as wretched as the toothache and brlnfe more wrinkles to the face to. a day than your masseuse can work out In a week.

Tet notwithstanding the fact that American shoes are par excellence, so far as shoemaking is concerned, nevertheless those ancient people, the old Romans, surpassed them in some ways with that excellent thing, the Roman sandal.

The Roman sandal gave the toes room and air, not only the great toe, but the four other toes as well. The Roman sandal exposed them to view and It Is not an unlikely thing that the Roman lady took quite as good care of her toenails as she did of her finger nails.

THE

American Indian knew also this science of healthful foot covering since his skin moccasin, made individually and discarded frequently also gave the feet, the toes, the nails fort and space.

At the same time it Is not necessary for any of us to return to these primitive articles if we will only take aB good care of the foot as If it were really going to be on view every day and all the time. The very fact that the foot is hidden "away tends to make us negligent and careless in our treatment of it.

A tiny bit of pumice will sometimes be found useful in grinding down hardened calloused cuticle. Care should be taken not to roughen or injure the cuticle under the nail, but all dust should removed by using a little damp cotton wound about the orange wood stick.

The toe-nails should be cut a little square rather than round, the nail of the large toe cut rather shorter in the middle than at the sides. A little bleaching solution, a little healing cream, a little polishing powder and presto! The nails, which appeared dull and unlovely look perfectly pink and shining and will repay their owner for the time spent on them.

Such nails will not wear holes In silk stockings, as rough, umcared for nails often do. This faot alone should serve to recommend the matter to the girl who likes to wear silken hosiery which adds so much to her appearance^

And now for the moral. If tho feet are uncomfortable, the carriage will be awkward, the eyebrows drawn together in a deep frown many times a day, hard drawn lines will appear around the mouth, the voice will be fretful. All this is anything but conducive to beauty or a youthful old age.

Bad Pace and Pimple*. Unhappy GirlPossibly you have not used the right croom. Do not use any soap or water on your fac«. At night oleanse It with the eleanalng oraara before going to bed, and then apply the pimple lotion. In the morning dampen a oorner of a soft towel with the toilet water and wipe off tho face. Take a tub bath every day. Use a bath brush on the body, not on the faoe. Tho flushing shows you are too aeltVoonaoioua, Try to forget self when in the company of others. Once or twice a week treat the face as directed below.

To cure pimples and blackheads requires time and patience. One must be exceedingly careful in regard to diet. Tou should not indulge In pastry, fried foods, rich gravies or confectionery. The face can be steamed and treated twice a week. Always apply the cleansing cream to face and throat and wipe It off thoroughly before steaming. The blackheads should be removed Immediately after the steaming, with a little Instrument that comes for this purpose. When pimples form a yellow head the contents can be expelled in the same way.

Then massage with the pimple cream for ten minutes, wipe this all off and apply the toilet water with a soft .towel.

The Fit of a Child's Shoes. Mrs. W. S.—It is very Important to have a child's shoes fit perfectly. If too large they will be apt to rub and make the feet sore. If too tight, they will be equally Uncomfortable. The stockings should also fit perfectly, otherwise they will rub the feet into blisters. If too short they will cause a bunion. 8o you see the fit of both shoes and stockings Is important.

For Gray Hair.

Dally Reader.—Blond or light hair !s apt to turn yellow. While you cannot govern this by using blueing in the last rinsing water the hair turns a better shade. 7

8. N.—Bathe the bust twice dally with spirits of camphor. Any exercise would be more apt to develop the bust than reduce It. You cannot reduce the bust by massage without danger of injury. To reduce the thighs lie flat on your back on the floor without any pillow, raise flrst one leg, then the other, as high and straight as possible without bending knees. Repeat ten times night and morning. The flesh at the back of neck can be reduced by mechanical massage.

Answer Requested.

S. M.—Eat from four to Ave oranges a day and drink a glass of cold water half an hour before breakfast and you will not require any laxative medicine. Fruit and fresh vegetables are mnch better for you during the Summer months than meat. Have fruit

dessert instead of made desserts. The former is better for you and will save labor and standing over a hot stove.

Bathing the Face.

Evelyn:—It is not well to bathe the face in very cold water when you are overheated. Water just from the spigot with a little good toilet water or alcohol is better. Always remove all powder before retiring and give the pores a chance to breathe, then powder, i' is a good one, will not injure the skin. Would advise a cleansing cream ,at night instead of water.

Hot Tired Feet. 'ft

the feet are tired and

hot, flrst bathe them in hot water and a pure soap, then soak them in a quart of hot water to which add powdered alum two ounces, borax two ounces. Rub the feet before dressing in the morning and when you remove shoes at night.

Cheeks.

Facial massage will improve the circulation and help to bring color to the cheeks. Am sorry I could not publish this as soon as you requested.
