Then, as the young lady left the studio,
the little artist fell TO talking about
eyes. 1t was an interesting an instruc.
tive chat. 1t was learned that long eye
lashes GOTTEN the expression. particularly
to woman. A marked example Of thss
was Adelaide Nelson. She seemed to
have a double Get of eyelashes, 80 heavy
were they. Her great charm was the ex-
preston of her eyes. They were large
and besming. They had a soul in
them, and the heavy lasbes poetized
them. It was learned, too, that o
fall eyelid gives q softening express
sion, and that the surrounding muscles
have o great deal to do with the expression
of the eyes. But the whole soul is ex-
pressed in the eye when q person Is earn
estly pleading. In uni the eye Is
more deIicately shaped than in man; the
eyelashes are longer and the eyebrow more
delicately arched. A perfect eye in q
woman should be full, almond chapel,
with long lashes, upper and lower,
with q delicate eyebrow to suit
the shape of the eye. In color blue is
the more sentimental, but q small gray
eve in q woman will vary more In express
sion. Some men have women's eyes. The
great Napoleon was one of them. He had
the clear, cold steel gray eye that showed
the highest and the darkest shades OF char
acter. 1t is the fash of expression that
makes the woman's eye lovable, the
ccquettish part Of her nature expressing
itself in the eyes.
There are eyes, also, which resemble
those of animals-the lion, the eagle, the
ferret. General Logan's eye could be
trutbfully called q hawks eye, 1t was 80
black and piercing, yet, withal, it was o
full, honest eye and one of deep feeling.
The Actor Montague's eye was often com
pared to that of a gszslle. II was soft and
beautiful and full of soul.
It is said there are thirteen rules by
which the character may be judged by the
eyes. Those that are very large and are
also of an extremely clear blue, almost
transparent when seen in profile, indicate
a ready and great capacity, extreme sensi-
bility, s~uspiciousness, and inclination to
enjoyment and curious inquiry. Black,
sparkling eyes, that are small and unSer
strong black eyebrows, denote penetration
and often cunning and artful stimulation.
! A weak nature is denoted by eyes which
seenin profile run almost parallel with the
profile Of the nose, and a small, pusillan-
imous character by eyes about which there
are many very small, long wrinkles. Eyes
with long, sharp, borizontal corners and
thick skinned lids, covering half the pupil,
Indicate a sapguine nature and genius
| Quick discernment, elegance aud taste, in
stability. pride snd q strong love for WON
en- are denoted by eyes which are large,
open, clearly transparent and which
sparkle with rapid motion under sharp
Iy delineated lids. A feeble constitution
and ~phlegmalic weakness of mind are de-
noted by eyes with light, small eyebrows
and very long, concave lashes. Eyes that
ARE never very round nor entirely open,
are those which hear while they see, enjoy
and color their object like themselves and
are q medium of v%oluptuous aud spirital
enjoyment. Proud, suspicious, harsh and
cold-hearted persons have d~eep-sunken,
email, sharply-delineated, dull blue eyes,
under a bony, perpendicular forehead.
Curious facts have been observed regard
log the eyes as 8 feature in national phys.
ioguomy. The Italians eyes are small,
the Germans light-colored and surrounded
BY many wrinkles, and the Englishman's
are strong, open and steadfast. The
Swiss have dull eyes, the Laplanders mar
row eyes, with the pupils Of q yellow
brown; the Tarters small and sunken eyes;
the Spaniards are clear and well-formed
and the Finlanders have sheayy lido and
the iris Of deep yellow.
The eye of passion is the grand eye and
it is in delineation Of passion that the actor
possesses power. In this Booth is unex-
celled. His great power is in his eyes and
in their great-intensity. They are large,
rigorous, nervous, subdued, yet full Of
power, flashing eyes.
Salyini's eyes are very large and mag.
netic. They show that he possesses great
| will power. His eyebrows are shaggy.

ed eye, full of persistence. Occasionally
they dance and sparkle.

ing polished.
