Eyelashes and Eyebrows.

There Is much beauty In long, silky, curved eyelashes. Men are proud of "beetling brows” fringed with fierce bristles. They fondly believe that such features indicate force of character backed up by immense brain energy. In Circassia, Persia and parts of India one of a mother’s earliest cares is to promote the growth of her children's eyelashes by tipping and removing the fine, gossamer-like points with a pair of scissors when the youngsters are asleep. By repeating this every month or six weeks the lashes become long, close, finely curved and glossy. This practice is said to be very useful in treating inflammation of the eyes, or granulated lldß. Shaving will make the eyebrows thick and heavy.
