June Hading obtained Hint won ilerful long look to her eyes by having the lids wilt with a lancet nt the corner. Turkish women have been In the hnblt for centuries of having the eyes of their children cut nt the corners, but the operation Is trilling If done when the child is only l!or 3 years of uge. Mine, Hading hail her eyes updated on when she had reuched maturity and the proc ess was both painful and dangerous. Knelt day for weeks nfter the lids nre cut and the wound Is healing the lids are drawn outward. Kven nfter the wound Is healed the lids are still subjected daily to the drawing process for several weeks. The result Is that the eyes ac quire that wonderful look, nnd to see what success there Is. in such an opera tion one has only to look at Mine. la ding's eyes. The curling of the upper Hp by means of surgery Is another trick of the beauty worshipping French woman. This Is re sorted to when the lip is too straight and InnK. A slit is cut across the Up and .every precaution is taken In ster ilizing everything, even to the very ulr In the operutlng room, so that the wound may lieul without the faintest trace of a scur, ns that would be fatal to beauty, Xot only Is the lip slashed across, but n minute strip of Mesh is cut away and then l ho edges m' t ho InclBion nre brought together nnd very carefully healed with tnc lip pressed upward. A number of French women have had this operation performed, among them the late Mine. Jjuitclme, who was one of the most famous beauties of l'arls. The effect of the artificially curled and shortened upper Up Is exquisite. The straightening of the lino of the nose Is another fancy among French women. This Is a very painful operation, as the bone sometimes has to bo broken and then reset. Although It Is of course done under the Influence of an anes thetic, the pain afterward Is Intense, as the nerves of the nose are especially sensitive. Mile. Ynne has had this done and so han Mile. Dnussemond. The Injecting of hot paraffin tinder the cuticle to fill out hollows and make perfectly rounded contours has long been a favored device of French women and It has been resorted to by New York women as well. l'crhaps the greatest publicity was given to the fnct that Miss aiadys Deacon had the up per part of her nose treated with par affin to make it perfect. This was dis cussed nil over the world and after that the beauty artists kept (heir patrons' names very closely guarded. There are two French women on the stage of I'arls to-day that liuve wonder fully soft oval contours of face and throat, Mme. Sorel and Anna I'errey. Both have hod hot paraffin .Injected to round out their lines. Mme. de Vogue resorted to the same plan. Mile. Dlrys has had her forehead lanced across and a strip of flesh re moved to make her eyebrows properly elevated. Before the operation her brows had a lowering expression; now they have an elevation that gives a fascinating, calm, saintlike expression. Besides heroic measures to keep their beauty French women have also a long Hat of milder things that they practise for beauty's sake. When hats are worn that almost hide the face, only the mouth and chin show ins;, women spend a good deal of wouBm en new to nsake the chin beau ty do a great lag. The patient is in, hot water PH. . after amotol sii 1 Af : fs;t rati tJ5S9Si 0 Mile. Daussemond, who had Her nose straightened. for fifteen minutes each night; this draws tho blood down from a reddened nose nnd chin. Then she Is made to massage her chin with Miiir milk. In France women keep the chin in good condition by rubbing It night and morning with fruit Juice. Often a littlo wino Is used, occasionally n bit of lemon or llmo or a cucumlier or a piece of bruised lettuce. In England they fol low Queen Alexandra's example and batho the chin with heuvy sweet cream. In Russia, where women have chins ns white us alabaster in splto of u tendency to down on the tipper Up, they rub the chin with a split potato, using It as ono would use soap; a quarter of an apple Is sometimes substituted. In Germany you see the prudent housewife, even of the wealthier class, taking bread crumbs and moistening them with water to a paste, which Is then spread upon her chin and left to dry us a sort of plaster cast. This Is taken off with very hot water and tho chin Is massaged with the finger tips. In the Viennese beauty parlors the chin is treated in the same manner with bread crumbs and hot water or milk. And ufter the chin Is soft and bleached fully some cold cream Is massaged In to moke It whiter, afterword being fol lowed by a cloud of good face pannier. But the Irish peasant girl has the most thorough method of skin whiten ing. She has no money for lotions, but she takes a handful of oatmeal and powders It to a dust. This she puts in warm water and lets It come to a boll; when partly cool she uses It as a face wash. Potato water is sometime sub stituted, but the oatmeal lotion la the best whltener. Her chin Is never the 1; MS"! m - ' .2 rough chin of the woman of more lux urlous habits who neglects her com plexion. Old Cord Bedstead OAMK across a bed wrench at a second hand curiosity shop up town the nlli.'r il.iv h.i(,1 ..i.i I timer, "nnd It'took me back to the boy hood days at ono Jump. "Don't know what a bed wrench Is? Of course you don't. Nolwdy born of this generation does. That's because they never had to put up a cord bed stead; had tho privilege of sleeping In the bed It held. "The cord bedstead was n Joy. Next to putting up tho stove pipe or putting down the carpet with the base of a flat Iron for a hammer to pound tho leather headed tacks In with, tho assembling of the cord bedstead of our daddies wan tho Job that called for the most er emptory giving of all the Christian vlr tues a vacation until the Job was done. "Tho cord bedstead was the favorito bedstead of commerce In those days. Hrlefly described, there were four posts, of any height or girth to suit the person or his pocket. Anywhere from three to four feet from the floor a hole was bored In two sides of each post, facing each other when the footboard and headboard posts were stood up to be connected. The holes were bored with a thread to take the screw out on the ends of the connecting pieces at the slsjes and ends of the bedstead. "These connecting pieces were round, and on what was to be the top of them when the bedstead was set up was a row of pegs, shaped like so many mush rooms. A hofo about an inclr In diameter1 ran through each of the four connecting pieces. When the bedstead was assem bled by tho fitting of the connecting pieces Into the holes In the posts nnd screwed up tlght'nnd In plnco by means of n stout stick thrust through the holes in the round pieces 'the bed was ready to be corded up and then tho wrench came Into play. "The bed wrench was something like a stout wooden hnnd vise. The cord, a rope like a clothes line, but of better nunllty, was run around the mushroom like pegs, which were a few Inches apart, nnd lengthwlso nnd crosswise from connecting piece to connecting piece, like a big meshed net. "Hut the cord couldn't be drawn taut enough with the hands, nnd so daddy, or big brother Bill, or perhaps the hired mail, grabbed the wrench, tangled It up somewhere in a port of the cord where the tnutcnlng up process was to begin, nnd by persistent leverage around nnd about tho bedstead nt last wrenched the cord to a condition of satisfactory taut ness, and tho tumult nnd the shouting died. "For don't go away with the Idea that the work of setting up that cord lied stead was accomplished with the ease and In the brief time that It takes to tell about It. It generally required two or three capable persons to tackle the Job with any hope of succeeding with It, for in the way of refractory dlsposltjon and demoniacal -perversity tho cord bed stead of the daddies lind the breechy cow In the garden skinned a mile. I have known the good wife to take the children nnd go down In the cellar while the old man and his aids were dallying with the cord bedstead In efforts to set It up and giving It their opinion of it an It wabbled and slid nnd careened and Madame Sorcl, rounded out by paraffin. 39 TiJ. mm if 5 IS Vt.'i mi Madame Edward de Vogue, who The New 4Pointex,, Heel Found only in "Onyx"& Removes the Inst HiiKcrinjr dmilt1 about your Personal appenrancp, which nlwnys troulilcd ymi wlion wearing Hie old uiisljxlitly, square splicing.
