The reign Of vegetables is at hand,

Let noble verse be set to noble music
for that end. In the following lines We

correction or confirmation of our antip.
athies can be obtained, for the eye is
the key of character.
To show how mistaken popular ideas
are, it is only necessary to instance the
delusion that eyes which shift are al
ways those of eaYer of what is not
true. AS matter of fact, extraordi-
narily steady eyes, never hinching in
their gaze when challenged, often be-
long to liar, and restlessness is gener-
ally caused by sheer nervousness. An.
other delusion is that grey eyes shcw
coldness of temperament, whereas, when
ofa certain type, Of which more anon,
they denote extreme sensitiveness and
tenderness of disposition.
Indeed, most poets. artists and mu-
sicians, and those who possess the crea.
tive temperament, have these grey eyes.
But the difference between them must
be carefully distinguished. Those in
dlcating intellect and imagination have
small spots or patches of orange in the
iris round the pupil. and the color Of
the eye always changes from dark to
light grey or blue.grey. according to
the emotion of the minute. Persons
having such eyes are fond Of poetry and
the arts, are rather inclined to dream,
and are sensitive and effectionate.

lessness of their imagination, very con.
slant to the objects of their affection.
But steel grey eyes, Of "a leaden hue and
unchanging in color. invariably are q
sign Of deadly sel6shness and cruelty.
These are the cold grey eyes of which
novelists speak.
Then as to blue eyes; but here again
distinction must be made. Some are
greyish blue. and should be classed in
the category Of the grey if they haye
orange spots in the iris.
Others are of an almost pure blue,
frank and open in their gaze. These
latter, though they predict sincerity
and honesty, do not show much intel
lectuality. The light blue and grey (ii
without admixture of orange and yell
low) expresses practically and honesty,
and dark blue and violet eyes are sign
of sincere, truthful. but somewhat char
acterless temperaments. Hazel eyes
indicate affection, tenderness, intellect,
imagination, but-alas that it should
have to be said-a tickle, uncertain dis.
position.
Green eyes denote intellect, coquetry.
deceit, and inclination to jealousy. Had
not the immortal Becky Sharp green

shades of green, and this means tenn
