The only woman who looks well with
her chin down is the very thin, the very

Such a woman must be delicately
thin, very splrttueUe in countenance,
She must nave great, big. childish-Ilka

Even so aha moat be careful.
With the chin lowered, a woman takes
on a reproachful cast of countenance.
And there are few women who can
look reproachful auid do It prettily.
The average woman who Is fighting
old Father Time with all her might and
main should tilt back her chin, carry
' her bead as high as possible and trust
f to chance and nature to dd the rest
Letting down the chin lowers it down
to the neck and throat and brings
wrinkles under the Jaw. :
Not one woman In a thousand can
lower her chin after she is W and look

How to Acquire Pretty
and Silky Eyebrows

Have, a soft brush, and use It for flv
minutes at a time in brushing thai
brows. '..";'''"!
Always stroke in the Una that the
brows should grow. t !
Some tonics undoubtedly ara aids, andl
the simplest of all Is vaseline. V i
Red Is the best, and this should first
be put on the finger tips and rubbed
well into the brows before brushing be
gins. ,,'
This may be done In the morning quits
as well as at night for the .' grease
should be so absorbed as not to show.
Whatever color the hair may be, tha
brows are usually mora effective If
few shades darker.
Any tonic containing grease is a dark
ener, from the fact of the presence of
the oils, and with a tonlo of this sort a
dye is not necessary.
To be sure, a dye works faster, but -in
the end not so well; and it is much .
better not to use a dye. at least until
after a tonic has been applied daily for
some months.
A decided stimulant fop the eyebrows
is made of two and one-half grains of
sulphate of quinine and half an ounce
of sweet almond oil. Mix and rub In
thoroughly before brushing. ,
In casea whee i. the eyebrowa grow,
thin from illness, something a little dif
ferent should be used. - ' ' ,
Good tor this condition is a mixture of
five grains of tincture of rosemary,
one gram of tincture of cantharides,

ularly for at least six week. :
