LIGHT THAT NEVER FAILS.
In the Summer Girls Eyes Are Joy,
Woe and Bliss.

"Girls are Known oy tneir eyes," sad
an old beau, comfortably seated upon
the corner OF yeranda. I've STUDIED
them for three generations in three coun-
tries, and I can now tell the fiirt when
see her. Yes, though her eyes be yelled
with lasbes half an inch deep, all dropping
over her Ianguid underiids. The flirt has
her unmistakable signs.
THE most pronounced OF these Is that she
never looks at you straight ahead. She
may look you In the eyes, and she often
Will, but she bends and turns her head this
way or that way, and you do not get the
straight up and down look. She generally
casts ride glances a t you, and when floored
lowers her eyes and looks at you under
her lids That is the flirt. You can't cato;a
her off guard. She shields her wicked eyes
effectually.
EYES so TENDER.
Now, the sentimental type is somewhat
different. This is girl who will look at
you and at the heavens. Her words are
few, but she emphasizes them with telling
giances. She rolls her eyes toward you
as she tells you she has been thinking
about your: and toward the skies when
she speaks OF good things and her wis:i
to do well here.
That kind or a girl, II she is pretty,
is the girl who makes the best catch of
the season She can bring tears to her
eyes and let them stand there, upon the
glistening brink. while she tells you of
a slight. She can look you through and
through with quivering lids until you are
ready to forswear the world for her and
fight the demons who thwart her. She :.
the most telling of all But she must be
beautiful and dark. Light blue eyes can
not do what brown eyes6an.
"But there is a chance for light blue
eyes, and that is upon the miscellaneous
girl She is the one with big, dancing
eyes who pins on little tilted cap and
tells You to come along by one lit of
her saucy head. She is the girl you would
like to have-if you were no so afraid
OF her! She laughs at you when you get
sentimental and digs In the gravel when
you talk nonsense to her. You can't tell
whether she is smiling or not. And when
you tell her she is pretty she picks up her
poodle and asks, .'Prettier than Jappo?''
BAH Take ava the blue. eyed mischief.
Like as not she'd step on your equity foot
to see II you'd own up to it. I don't Ike
her. Size will do for the black-eyed man
with the fierce mustachios. He'll tame
her and take some oft out Of her.
The girl like very well is the swetly
sympathetic. Do you know any one like
her? She listens To all your troubles and
thinks the are thousand times worse than
any other she has ever heard. She locks

to the joyful part of your story.
DANGEROUS SYMPATHY.
She generally isn't any too pretty, this
sympathetic girl. But after you have told
her your cares and burdens and made a
confident of her you come to think she is
the dearest companion in the world. Your
fireside looks empty without her. and when
you come home I night. cold and wet, you
wonder Why she isn't there to pour a cup
OF tea. with her sympathetic infection. Il
know you like two Jumps. You told me so,
so long ago. She never forgets anything
and she can ask you a year later about the
nephe US and nieces. even TO Bobby uf fif-
teen months.
"a girl used to like was the chum girl.
I don't care for her now. because am out
OF her line OF sport. But admire her. She
is the girl who IS a match for you on all
your expeditions.

- Can You do Il mile in 2: 1O?' she said.
THAT applies TO this sort of girl You
can take Ter boating and she'll push off
the canoe and jump in while you're fixing
up the fish lines. She bats her own hook
