Der. a,d a constant na,nre Th.s. ewes are
peculiar to the northern nations one meets
Them among the Swedes also sometimes
among the Scotch. The blue ewes we see
among the rare bloades Of the sop.h-that
is, in Italy and Spain have among them
ewes in wh.ch are some preenish tin,s and
such ewes. though often called light blue
have none of the qualities Of serenity aud
constanty which belong 10 the light blue
ewes Of the north. Neither must the pleas
ant Eight blue eve with the honest ylance ne
coafounded with another sort Of eve Of
pale blue, aImos, steel-colored hue, which
hasa continually shifting sort of motion
both Of the eyelids and the pupis of the
ewes. People with such ewes as these are to
be avoided. as they ere Indicative of de-
ceitfal and selfish nature. Very dark blue
ewes. with ,ome,hioy of the tint of violet
show great power of affection aud purity Of
mind, bat not much l1tcllectuaiitv. Eiue
ewes are more significant OF tenderness and
OF a certain yieiLlngness of purpose than
either brown. black. or gray ewes. Blue
eyed people are not incoustant, like those Of
the hazel and yellow ewes, but they Weld
from affection.

with orange as wei! as blue in them. AM.
which are Of sver-yar, .ng tints. like the sea.
are those which denote mos, intelectuali y.
