COLOR OF WoMEN's EYES.
The Mere Question of Pigment Has Set
tied Many Mans Fate.

The Mere Question of Pigment Has Set
tied Many Mans Fate.
Did you ever notice that men always
instinctively put confidence in a girl
with blue eyes, and have their sus-
picions of the girl with brilliant black
ones, and will you kindly tell me why?
asks a writer in the Ladies Home Jour
nal. Is it that the limpid blue eye,
transparent and gentle, suggests all
the soft, womanly virtues, and because
he thinks he can see through it, clear
down into that blue-eyed girls soul,
that she is the kind of a girl he fancies
she is? 1 think it is, but some of the
greatest little frauds l know are the
purry, kitteny girls with the big innO-
cent blue eyes. Blazing black eyes. and
the rich, warm coiors, which dark
skinned women have to wear suggest
energy and brilliance and no end OF
intellect. Men i0ok into such eyes and
seem not 10 be able to see below the
surface. They have not the pleasure of
q long, deep gaze into immeasurable
depths. And so they think her design
ing and clever, and, perhaps God save
the markD, even intellectual, when,
perhaps. she has a wealth of love and de-
votion and heroism stored up behind
that impulsive disposition and those
dazzling black eyes, which would do
and dare more in a minute for some man
she had set that great heart of hers
upon, than your cold-blooded. tranquil
blond would do in 40 years. A mere
question of pigment in the eye has set
tied many a mans fate in life, and es-
tablished him with a wife who turned
out to be very different from the girl
he fondly thought he was getting.

Looks Like the Ideal Poet Rather Than
Theatrical Manager.
A writer in Donahoe's Magazine has
pleasant character sketch of Mr.. Au-
gustin Daily. To meet Mr.. DAILY for the
first time after forming a mental pic
ture of him from his profession and his
achievements means, says this writer,
a rather pleasant surprise. He looks
like the ideal poet rather than the sue
cessful manager; tall, slender, well-pro-
portioned, graceful and nervous in
movement, self-possessed in repose;
face delicate in outline, thoughtful and
serious in expression; hard as flint in
business moments, dreamy and sad in
repose; indicating the rare combine
ton of business ability and poetic pow
er. Almost 60, he looks no older than
a scholarly man of 40, and the average
acute observer would take him for a
college professor of the most intel
lectual sort.
Mr.. DAILY is further characterized as
undoubtedly ambitious; his energy
