TO APPLY
BROW COLOR
For beautiful brows,
use the following easy
steps:
Place three dots on the
brow - one at the high
point of the arch and one
at each end -if you need a
guide in coloring.
Apply with light,
short, feathery strokes, as
though you were sketching
individual brow hairs.
A brush-on, powder
brow is ready to go. If you
used a pencil, brush the
brow once more to soften
the effect.

One walks across a landscaped
lawn where rhododendron
cuttings run riot in raised beds
and where rhodies of every size
and description flourish in the
extensive areas of the premises.
As one steps upon the porch a
greeting may be extended by a
Manx cat whose basic fluffy white
coat is beautifully blotched with
two shades of gold. His name is
Butchie, and he is a "stubby"
with a mere tuft of a taft.
Gertrude Beese will open the
door and invite you into her
home where you may catch a
glimpse of Dink-Dink, an aloof
black-and-white shor t-haired
tailless Manx known as a
"rumpie."
On divans and chairs will be
seen an assortment of felines.
Snoopie is a pure white
three-quarter Siamese; Put-Put is a
black-and-white shorthair;
Britches is black and white and
long-haired; Kit-Kit is a
long-haired gold-and-white
bicolor; Cookie is grey and white
with his long coat extending into
perfect pantaloons; white and
long-haired Scooter can't run
without sliding. Mittens is a huge
tiger cat with a thumb on each
forepaw.
The nine cats were acquired
by Mrs. Beese and her husband,
Ted, under varied circumstances.
Several were rescued from
dreadful fates by their adult son,
Teddy. They have a daughter,
Terri Matson, and three
grandchildren. The entire family
loves cats.
Mrs. Beese maintains that in
reality she owns ten cats rather
than nine cats and one dog. Her
wire-haired terrier has lived in a
cat-oriented household for so
many years that she regards
herself in specie.
"All of them are neutered or
spayed," says Gertrude Beese.
"One of the males is currently
faced with a paternity suit
involving a neighbor's female. It's
nice to be able to laugh off such
serious accusations."
Gertrude Beese, a native of
Shelton, was married at the dose
of World War 11 in New Jersey,
her husband's home. The
newlyweds lived in that state for
seven months before moving to
Shelton in 1946. Two years later
they acquired their present home
located in a portion of the Grant
Angle homestead.
Mrs. Beese, who worked in
various jobs before her marriage,
took a 28½-year vacation before
resuming her career.
"I decided," she states, "to
get a job, learn to drive and lose
weight. I've done all three, and
now hold a part-time position
with Mode O'Day."
She is a member of Weight
Watchers, and one of her favorite
pastimes is beachcombing. She
and her husband collect Japanese
floats and own approximately
250 of the glass globes.
The Beeses maintain a mobile
home at Westport, where they
spend many recreational hours.
Gertrude Beese works in
ceramics and likes outdoor
gardening. As a member of the
Rhododendron Society she
propagates rhododendrons,
utilizing a sweat box to root
cuttings.
But most of all, she likes cats.
"Too many people," she
declares, " want them only when
they are little kittens, cute and
cuddly. When the pets mature
people tend to neglect them.
"When 1 acquire a pet," she
states, "1 am willing to accept the
responsibilities that go
hand-in-hand with ownership."

"Dogs may be leashed by
day," she explains, "but they
roam at night."
She refers to herself as a short
order cook, but her baking is
wonderful. Her raisin bars are
quick to make and quick to
disappear.
