Green eyes are often the most fas-
cinating of all eyes. and the shade is
rarely found unmixed. Usually the
green tint is mixed with gray or
brown, or both. The combination with
brown OF brown and gray is known
familiarly as the brown-hazel or
green-hazel eye, which, popular wis
dom has it, is always to be trusted.
Green in the eye is thought to Indicate
treachery, but usually it indicates
power of fascination. Thackeray gave
Becky Sharp green eyes, and Becky
was both treacherous and fascinat ting.
Brown neutralizes the bad effects Of
green in the eye, while detracting not
at all from it's fascination.
The white eye may be very beauti-
full eye or terrible eye. With the iris
trimmed with black, this eye has great
distinction. In woman, when it's
startling effect is modified by beauti-
full features and gentle expression, il
is wonderfully alluring. In a man,
whose face is coarse or brutal, this eye
strikes one with horror.

he might be called as witness. With

official copied it down:
John Smith, U. S. Al
I'm reminded of this incident by the
latest social furry in Washington,
where ladies of official families are
now printing their visiting cards with
out their husbands titles.
The new fashion is right. For years
people have poked fun at the woman
who describes herself as "Nlrs. First
Assistant Deputy Commissioner
Smiths" but now that the card reads
simply ''Mrs. Smith" without even an
address, how is the recipient to know
whether the lady who leaves it is the
wife of the L. A. d. C. aforesaid, or
congressman's wife from Maine?
The custom arose from too slayish
following of precedent. Mrs. Roose-
velt, 'AIrs. Fuller" and "AIrs. Hender-
son." the wives of the president, the
chief justice and the speaker of the
house, have by custom no other words
upon their cards. When '.Mrs. Dewey
and "Mrs. Miles" follow the precedent
there is no danger of confusion, but
when everybody follows suit trouble
ensues.
In New York a lady's name is pre-
coded upon her cards by her husbands

babel Baker Smith" is easily recog-
nizable.

BLUE EYES AND BROWN EYES.
Also Eyes of other Colors and What
They Are Taken to Indicate
In Character

The majority of people do not know
the color of their best friends eyes.
They remember faces by the nose and
mouth. Sometimes the ears; more
often by the general expression. The
eye itself has no expression, although
it is considered the most expressive of
all features. The expression that is
attributed to the eye really resides in
the lids, the eyebrows and the muscles
of the adjacent part of the face. 1t is
to this expression that the attention
of most people is directed, says the De-
troit Free Press. They see light COM
ing from the eye and vitalizing the ex
preston of the lids and muscles, but
the real character of the eye they fail
to notice. There is fascination in
the study of the color Of the eye, and it
is held that there is no color recog-
nized that cannot be found in the eyes
of some human being. There are red
eyes, green eyes, golden eyes, violet
eyes, sapphire, baby blue, black, white,
yellow eyes, and eyes, besides, in
which these tints are mixed.
Blue eyes are said to be the most
numerous, and of these there are many
varieties. The most common kind is
that which is really mixture of dark
blue and grayish white. With this
kind of an eye sometimes the blue and
white are mixed irregularly, in which
case the eye lacks brilliance, though it
may be lustrous. Sometimes the body
of the iris is grayish white, with blue
radii extending from the pupil. This
marking gives peculiarly hard ex-
preston to the eye. In still another
sub-variety the centrafpart of the iris
is light blush gray, with rim of dark
blue. Such an eye is often mistaken
for black. The dark rim around the
iris is not so noticeable in blue eyes as
in some other kinds, notably, white
and golden eyes, in which it produces a
strange, startling and fascinating eff
feet.
The limpid blue eye is comparative
ly rare. 1t is of a uniform coloration
and appears to be almost liquid. Fine
! specimens have certain beauty, but
the eye, as rule, lacks character.
Near akin to it is the china blue or
robins egg blue eye, also of uniform
celebration, but lacking liquidity. 1t
| also, is lacking somewhat in charac-
i ter.
The varieties of brown eyes are
numberless. The deepest shade usual
ly passes for black. Some eyes of this
shade suggest velvety texture, and
the whites by contrast have peculiar
pearly luster. Then there are the soft
brown eyes that are usually called
pleasant, and the sharp brown eyes
that are called snappy. You may occa-
sionally find brown eyes of such a light
tint as to be called properly orange or
yellow. The golden eye is variety of
the brown eye, but a wonderful va
riety. 1t is not yellow eye; it is in
finitely more strange, more beautiful
than the yellow eye. Golden eyes are

find that many of the "best people"
are sitting in orchestra chairs this
year, and that hotel dance is not
good FORM"
"Quiet" entertainments do not mean
inexpensive ones. 1t is in New York
cheaper to hire half dozen hotel
bathrooms for entertainments than to
own a house with ballroom of it's
own, after the Astor-Whitney-N Wander
bilt plan.
The change has been of service to
common sense in abolishing the big
coming out dance" for debutantes.
Last winter the change began in Civ
ing, instead, coming out teas;" mod
est little affairs where a woman's
friends could be appraised that her
daughter was in the field for invita-
tons. This year some smart girls
are brought out without even this
formality. Simply send the girls
visiting cards out with her mammals,
and the thing is done. Her friends
will, from time to time, give little
dinner dances or theater parties in
her honor.
An instance is that of Mrs. stuy-
vesant Fish, who perhaps next to
Mrs. Aston best exemplifes the New
York idea of great lady. Her
daughter Marion has been brought
out in this manner this season.
Last year the Fishes were building a
mansion with huge ballroom, for
the express purpose, it was supposed,
of Miss Marion's debut-but the fash
ion changed.
On the other hand, Mr.. Whitney
has for the second time signalized
the entrance upon society life of a
favorite niece by big ball in her
honor. There is no rule.
