There are very few women nowadays who resort to the injurious practice of dropping belladonna into the eyes to brighten them. It is absolutely ruinous to the sight, and gives the eyes an arti- ficial look, as unbecoming as that pro- duced by a hard, dark line under the lower lashes. The paint used to darken the under eyelids is -often made up of injurious sub- stances, which in time make the flesh around the eyes old and wrinkled. Good digestion is the best aid to beau- tiful eyes, for a disordered stomach shows 44=2lf in the vellowish whites of the eyes. SUNDAY OALL.

THERE |3 A TIME, HOWEVER TO LOWER, THE PYEDS bathing them in mild, cold tea or weak salt water or warm milk rests them. Stmply bathe the outer skin, with eyes ‘ closed. A soft linen cloth, which is used for no other purpose, is the best for bath- ing the eyes. There is a prevalent belifef that a daily cold water bath of the eyes—opening and shutting the eyes under water—is benefl- cial and tends to strengthen the eyes. It may render the eye somewhat more re- sistant to external influences, such as cold, but it can in no way affect the sight tself. . Close the eyes, once in every two or three hours, for five or ten minutes at a time. Always close the eyes when you have nothing to do. So long as they are open they are to a certain extent at work. If the eyes are not rested now and then MASSAGE TO MAKE THE ARM PLUTP they will look colorless, listless and ex- pressionless. One ought never to let the eyes get tired; when they do bathe them with warm water and go to bed. With “a wave of her hand Josephine Beauharnals brought Napoleon to her stde.

There was once a time when the woman who went to be manicured was accused of extravagance, and when the man who ratronized the manicure’s chair was voted a fop. But that time has gone by. Now the woman who r manicures is hope- ! and the man who does not indulge in_gccasional visits to a manicuring es- tablishment runs the risk of being badly groomed.

There are three or four ways of cutting the nails. ‘The rounded nail of the busi- ness woman is the most practical; and the scuare nail of the working woman is_ne 1 certain cases; but neither ssar: aye as preity)as_the pointed nail of the society woman. But she who wears the pointed nail must take the time to keep it_exact. To peint the nail cut it with the straight seissors but do not have the point too sharp. It is a great mistake to shape the nail into the very long sharp point, for it breaks easily and is dangerous. There, is a point called the Langtry nail The nail grows high at each side of the finger so as to keep it in shapey then come to the point, which ns almost a blunt one. A very high polish finishes the nail. The Pink Rim. The question of cleansing the nail is probably the first one that occurs to a woman who has to do her own mani- curing. If the nail be scraped under- neath, either with the cleaner or with the orange wood stick, it soon grows white and a great unsightly rim disfigures the tip. g}‘ow, a pretty nail should be pink almost to the finger end; and there should be scarcely any whitish rim. To obtain this pinkish appearance clean the nail es little as possible. When wash- \ ing the hands rub the nails very lightly over the cake of soap and, in washing, wash out the soap from underneath.

A woman who is noted for her pretty nk cultivated the habit of soaking e hand in water fifteen minutes, read- ing the while. She then lays aside her ok and finishes the manicuring of the d. The other hand is then treated in the same way with the preliminary fifteen minutes’ soaking and the result is some- thing that is worth while. Few people realize that, in dealing with ail, they are really dealing with a pliable; the nail can b that | to the right shape, while changed when the sur- is thus séftened. After the finger tips have been soaked fifteen minutes it is time to clip away the ragged bits of cuticle. Do not cut off the cuticle in strips, as is the custom with so many. Let it remain on. It will hard- en when the hands get dry and will really protect the pretty meon. The Cuticle Knife. Keep pushing back the skin and clip off only such portions as appear to be ragged. Sometimes the cuticle scissors are not necessary and, if so, it is an indication that the hands are in very excellent con- on indeed. Then comes the shaping of the nail. Use your judgment as to the shape, but do not make the mistake of clipping it close- ly at the sides. sides as high ports the finger ends and keeps them from getting thick. You will find that, where the cor- ners of the nails are cut away, the finger invariably_sags, lacking the necessary support. The taper finger tip is the one whose nail is not cut away at the cor- ners. H It is a good thing if the nail can be a third longer than it is wide. There are those who admire a nail twice as long as it is wide. If the cu can be trained to grow down and expose the moon this pro- portion is a good one.

Use as little as pos- sible, and, If necessary, add a little when the polisher seems dry. Powder is said to. make the nails brittle and to heat them by friction until they are liable to snap under the rubbing. But with care one can impart quite a high polish without running these risks. It is necessary, finally, to wash tha hands with soap to get off the powder. And then comes a chance for a very little cold cream which should be rubbed into the hands to keep them from chap- ping and into the at the base of ths nail to keep it from growing fast and making hang-nails.
