Twen'y-fotir years ago with the vision of future, needs of Omaha’s Negroes, she founded th" Colored Old Folks Home, which stands today, a living memorial to h >r forethought, wisdom patience and endurance.

Many co.woikers and superior officers of Mrs. Smith-Carler n* tho Burlington depot have passed this life, and she can only recall the names of two or three, remain, ing.

THE EYES HAVE IT Eyes, to be beautiful, do not have to he large or of unusual shape or of exquisite coloring. The plainest face may he very attractive If it Is enhanced by a pair of sparkling eyes, with the whites clear and the Irises sharply defined The surest way to brighten your eyes Is 4*» make yourself gloriously xfrraiTny. Eyes mirror one’s physical condition. Eat wholesome foods, exercise vigorously, and get at least eight hours of sleep every night. (Nine times out of ten It’s the girl with “come-hlther" eyes who has the longest list of names In her date book. The Eye's Setting The most perfect eyes will not qualify for beauty luurels if the set ting Is not complimentary Little crinkles around the eyes make them look weary and listless. Dark circles or puffs cause the eyes to look smaller—as well as giving the ap pearance of late hours and dissipa tion which may not be the actual cause at all. The delicate tissues that surround the eyes should be given sufficient nourishment Strain, nervous ex haustion, fatigue or worry cause a rapid breaking down of the skin cells. The many Intense emotions felt during the day—anger, fear, surprise, annoyance—draw the skin into a thousand wrinkles and Creases. If the skin is well-nour ished, such Hues disappear when the face Is In repose. If the tissues are tinder-nourished, each time you Smile prfrownthe lines will become more deeply etched, presold lug an appearance of undue ago caused by the network of lines. These linos can he prevented or erased only by improving t tie condi tion of the tissues themselves by dally nourishment. A good rich cold cream may he applied nightly before retiring The cream should be patted in very lightly on the un der-eye skin. Uront care should lie taken to avoid rubbing this delicate skin roughly because the skin Is easily loosened and stretched, caus ing the wrinkles to become deeper and more numerous. The use of cream replaces natural oil to give the skin elasticity. The Eyelashes Artificial eyelashes, devised in the interest of feminine beauty, have proved a boon to the stage and screen stars, hut they should not be used for everyday wear. Bright light of day only reveals their ex aggeration and nrtlficlnltty. Nnturnlly, you can’t acquire benu tlful eyelashes overnight, but by perseverance you can vastly Im prove them. [Mala vaseline or odor less and tasteless castor oil are ef fective In the promotion of growth of the lashes. A bit of either should be applied every night Rrush the oil upward, away from the eyes. This procedure will tend to curl the lashes. Oiling and brushing proper ly every day will amply reward you with natural, longer lashes that won’t come ofT at night when you cleanse your face.

After C' tr)jb;ng the hair to remove all 1 'ngles it is thoroughly brushed from five to eight minutes. The hair is parted in the middle, a por ton picked up and brushed from the scalp up, and out in a quick movement. This is done to stimu late circulation. The warm oil is applied when the peaks begin to tingle. It is neressary that th' oil be warm to spread and pen trate readily. We keep the o'1 warm by means of a small electri. heater built in the center of th steamer. The scalp is more rerept ive to o through steaming. So steaming rr well as massaging is required de pending, of course, upon the thick ness of th? hair.
