Remember Cashes are a delicate growth, unlike the hairs of the head that will stick with us for seven years or more. They are not very deeply rooted you know. constant habit of rubbing the) eyes can deplete the growth, may even causa sties which could destroy the littie papilla, from which each shaft emerges. Also too fre qunt use of the crayon, over this tender territory, may bava a not too favorable effect upon them. i Never, never, trim the ends, this will not extend the growth, ln stead you cut away the fine needla point that you already have and succeed only in promoting the growth of a stubby stiff blount end lash.
