How to- Attain and Retain Attractive Eyes
The Blue Eye of Fiction.
In expatiating ON the interesting topic
of the cultivation of personal charms
how to attain ard retain them-experts
are prone to neglect the eyes, eyebrows
and eyelashes. But Standard Designer,
appreciatipg that these features go far
to enhance or mar beauty of counte
nance, has the following to say about
them:
Any one who is afflicted with torpid
liver or is bilious can scarcely hope to
be the possessor of clear, brilliant eyes.
for both these unpleasant ailments cause
the eyes to have a lack luster, fishy ex-
preston. An old fashioned remedy CON-
sidered very good is a cup of hot cam,
omile tea taken before retiring. This
has the effect of clearing the complexion
as well as the eyes. Another excellent
decoction to be taken at bedtime that
will remedy an inactive liver and bring
back brilliancy to the eyes is glass of
hot lemonade with about as much bicar

must not indulge in the luxury of

A dark eye should be soft and gentle

never with anger, as the pupil of dark

mean look to the eye. Blue eyes are a.
ways more lovely when animated. The

SO as to look frankly and calmly at al,

If at any time the eyes feel irritable,
do not rub them, for this breaks off the
lashes. Dampen soft handkerchief
with little boracic lotion and battle
the eyelids until the irritation ceases.
