Transplanted eyelashes' and eye- brows are the latest things hi the way of personal adornment. Only the brave and rith can patronize the new method at prese,nt, for besides being painful and costly, it takes a long time to accomplish it. • . In Paris and London, where the idea originated,, there are specialists who make a handsome living out of the process of transplanting hair from the head to' the eyebrows or eyelashes. The specialist works by putting in, not on, theneve eyelashes and bx•ows whereeer they are absent or giow thtn, and so cunning is he in his work that not even the closest scrutiny can detect any difference. Ey means of the new process, it is said, (yea which are at ordinary times only passable become languishing in .their expeeseion, while eyes which were previously considered fine have their beauty Much enhanced, This is the way new eyelashes are Put ini-An ordinary fine needle is threaded With a long hair, generally taken from the head of the person to be operated upon. The lower border of the eyelid is then thoroughly clean- ed, and' in order that the process may be as painless as possible rubbed with a solution of cocaine. The operator then by a feW touches runs his needle through the extreme edges of the eyelid between the epidermis and the lovverborder 'of the cartilage of the tragus. The needle passes in and Out elong the edge or the lid, leaving its hair thread in loops of carefolly grad- uated length. When this hes been done another and another length. of hair is sewed through the lid until finally there are it dozen or more loops projecting. By this time the effect of the•cocaine has been lost and the operator is obliged to desist and put off the further 'peer- ing of hair" for another sitting. The next step in the process Is cut- ting off' and trimming the ends of the looPs, Wed the result is a fine, thickelong set of eyelashes. It is the finishing touth, that is to come, that makes them look like nature's own. When they are firth cut they stick out in the most singular fashion, giving the person operated upon the most un- canny look. The operator's need step le to take ourling tongs, made of silver and no larger than knitting needles, and to wee them the curve which is:essential. to perfect beauty. Then the eyea are carefully. bandaged and kept so until „the following day. Moat of the hairs that have been trahsplanted take root and grow, but a few of them fall bat and have to be attended •to. For the first month it is necessary to. curl the new eye- lashes every day, but after that they become properly assimilated, and it is not neetessary to give them any fur. thee attention.
