THE LADIES

EYES THE DOMINATING NOTE OF BEAUTY. The eyes are the dominating note! or beauty, the verve, the accent, the compelling centre of interest. Not only arc' they important to beauty, but they arc the harbour of our most necessary and enjoyable sense-—the sense of sight. Every moment of our walk.ng hours we tax this sense which guides us through our daily routine, and which reveals to us the loveliness of colour, line, the glories o.f Nature and the faces of those we care for. Yet even the most intclli gent women spend several hours each week caring for complexion, hair and nails, choosing gowns, hats and wraps, but give no thought to the eyes. The eyes, so delicate, so sensitive, arc not so mysterious as they seem. They arc; controlled by nerves and muscles, just as are the less subtle parts of the body, and therefore may be beautified by cleansing, exercise, and relaxation. The’ skin above the eyes may be kept smooth and firm by proper nourishment.

To realise the true beauty of the eyes, they may be clear, choir colour well defined, the skin about them mud bo free from crows’ feet. These condtions must exist whether the eyes bo a langourous brown, dark divine, a sparkling hazel, sofe, starry eyes, that glow with light and feeling, or those “laughing orbs that borrow their light from the skies,” Each type possesses its distinctive allure, if the eyes be clear, and the skin free of unbecoming Lines.

<?><?>€> THE WORRY HABIT. It’s so 'easy to fall into the worry habit—and so hard to fall out of it again. It’s the habit of making mountains out of moliehills —of always expecting the worst. And It does make one such a burden to oneself—and to other people! It is not real sorrows that make; for the “ivorry habit.” No; the people who have to endure any real affliction seldom worry. They arc often surprisingly cheerful. It is imag.mary woes that breed Ihc “worry habit,” You can get into the way of seeing trouble when there is no trouble even remotely in sight. “Suppose my husband’s health breaks down —suppose Jack fails in his exam.—suppose Joan marries the wrong man”— that is the way it begins. You start“supposing” thinks that may never happen. As a matter of fact, they are most unlikely to happen. Your husband enjoys more than average nealth: Jack has quite! his share of brains: Joan is a thoroughly healthy-minded modern young woman, happy in her work, happy in her friends; not at all likely to rush into marriage until ‘Mr Right* conics along. But that's the way the “worry habit” begins. You imagine trouble til] you create it. Your thoughts go'round and round ,i\u a circle and you can’t get out of it.

Don’t let the “worry habit” get hold of you! Get up and do something. Go and see a friend —soon 1 an afternoon at the kinema, a day in Hie emm try, anything to take your thoughts away from the troubles that don't exist, You will feel qu.tc different when you come back—the cloud will lift — and you will wonder whatever made you such a fool. <«><s>s> THE DUST BIN. Special care is needed to prevent flies surrounding the garbage t n. AVhen tho tin has been emptied burn newspaper in it. This deodorises and kills any germs there may be lurking around, besides drying and strengthenino- the bin When it is full again, place a newsppaper saturated m kerosene over the top, then put the lid on. No flies or germs attack a garbage tin treated in this way. <s><s><£ KEEP FRYING PAN CLEAN.

The odour of onion and fish can be removed from a frying pan this way. Scald a little vinegar in it and afterwards wash the 1 usual way. This is especially essential when omelets are made in a frying pan used for other purposes. So delicate is the omlet

flavour that it should have a pan used for no other purpose. <s>s><?> MAKE CORKS FIT,

To make a cork, slightly ton large fit a bottle!, try this. Take a sharp knife, cut a wedge-shaped piece out vf one end of the cork. Then cut another similar piece out of the same- end across tho centre of the first cut. If this is carefully done, the cork can then be inserted and no liquid will escape, <£■s>«> USE VINEGAR FOR STOVE. Before black lead Jng the stove, do this. Wipe the stove all over with vinegar and let dry. It will remove all grease stains, and ‘will give; a nice bright polish -when black leaded.
