and the heavy lashes poetized them.
1t was learned. too. that full eye-lid
gives sOftening expression. and that
the surrounding muscles have great
deal to do with the expression of the
eyes. But the whole soul is expressed
in the eye when a person is earnestly
pleading. In woman the eye is more
delicately shaped than in man; the
eyelashes are longer and the eyebrow
more delicately arched. A perfect eye

lower. with delicate eyebrow to suit
the shape of the eye. In color. blue is
the more sentimental, but a small gray
eye i'm a woman will vary more in ex-

eyes. The great Napoleon was one Of
them. He had the clear. cold steel
gray eye that showed the lightest and
the darkest shades Of character. 1t is

Curious facts have been observed

have dull eyes. the Laplanders mar
row eyes with the pupils of yellow

eyes; the Spaniards are clear and well
formed. and the Finlanders have
heavy lids and the iris of a deep yell
