BEAUTY.

EYES RIGHT. If you analyse the charai of pretty girls, you -will find that in every ease they have beautiful, expressive eyes. The colour of the eyes may be blue, grey, hazel or brown, for each colour has its own attraction, but the eye- ■* lashes are thick and dark, though not necessarily long, the eye-brows wellshaped and tidy and the whites of the eyes a clear, pale blue. Sit at your beauty-table and ask your hand-mirror for the truth about your eyes. Don't be downcast when it telle you that your eyelashes are pale' and thin, the whites dull and yellowish, or streaked with fine red threads, and the shadows lie beneath the lower lids—within a week you can make an amazing transformation. Pale eyebrows and eyelashes can be darkened with a special permanent and waterproof dye. You need only use it two or. three times a year. To make your lashes and brows -grow stronger, gently rub plain yellow petroleum jelly %ito the roots every night. Brush your eyeibrows upwards until every hair points to the ceiling,- then place the brush between your eyes and with one careful ' sweep gather all the little hairs together again, into a smooth, unbroken arch. This will stimulate the roots and train the eyebrows to grow in a good line. if your eyebrows are bushy and plucking seenis to hurt your eyes, use a razor instead of tweezers, and shave away the unwanted hair. You run the risk of hair re-appearing in a bristly form, butryou won 't injure your eyes.Plucking, may make the eyes look sunken. .

Beading, sewing, or typing in a dim light strains the eyes and is the cause of those little red threads which run over the surface of the eye. Too ■bright a light is almost as bad. Never read in bed by candle-light. After a dance, when your eyes smart with tobacco smoke or whenever they feel hot and tired, bathe them in cool boiled water, then wring out little pads of cotton wool in cold strong tea and place them on your eyelids for five minutes. " Your eyes will feel wonderfully refreshed after this simple treatment. For removing those dark shadows sunder the eyes, there is nothing to equal regular massage with a tissue oil. Vegetable oils make the best tissue oil, as they are thin and easily absorbed by the most delicate skin round the eyes. Mix together 1 drachm of persic oil with 2 drachms of arachis oil, $ ounce of almond oil and 30 minims, of oil of red thyme. Tap this oil into the skin round the eyes with the finger 5 tips and look upwards when you pat under the eyes. In spite of the fact that horn-rim-med spectacles are fashionable, it is hard luck if you have to wear glasses. But it's asking for trouble if you try to do without them. Screwing up the eyes in an attempt to Bee more clearly soon brings erowsfeet and a network of tiny wrinkles under the eyes, to say nothing of a deep, vertical frown line! When choosing your spectacles, eee that the tdrtoiseshell rims match your hair and that the bridge is gold, not shell. Crowsfeet and wrinkles can be smoothed out by painting the skin with white of egg. Allow the egg to dry on the skin, then wash it away with cold, not hot, water. Pat on,a little foundation cream, dust with powder and the wrinkles won't show for several hours. White of egg moxed with powdered dried milk to form a soft paste is better for a very dry, sensitive skin. The juice of two oranges in half-a-tumblerful of water taken before breakfast will banish the yellowish tinge from the whites of the eyes and make them sparkle. Lemons) too", are natural aids to eye-beauty. Use the juice on fish and salads and slip a slice of lemon into your tea, instead of milk.
