EYES, THEIR COLOR AND MEANING

The latest subjects of statistical in
quiry are hight and dark eyes, and it is
announced that. taking the average of
Europe and America, 44.6 is the per-
centage Of men having light eyes, I'M
cluding blue and gray, says the New
York Sun. The proportion Of women
having blue or gray eyes is 1922 per
cent. In other words, blue eyes are
decidedly rarer among women than
among men.
Men have light eyes oftener than
women, but i'm the intermediate grades
of color between light and dark, the,
percentage Of the two sexes is very
nearly the same. In this intermediate
category are brown and hazel eyes. The
percentage of these among men is 43.1,
and among women 45.1.
The percentage Of black eyes is larg-
er among women than among men, be-
ing POT per cent. for the women, while
among men it is 1913.
Blue eyes are considered TO possess
great attractions. This was the case
among the Greeks and Romans of clas-
sic times. Upon the Goddess Minerva
was bestowed a surname TO signify the
blueness Of her eyes.
Gray eyes--wells that a man might
fan into-have ever been the ideal of
all great novelists; among the number
Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Wilkte
Collins, and Charles Reade. Most of the
heroines in up-to-date fiction are gray
eyed maidens.
OF the living great, as well as the vast
army OF the dead who have distin-
guished themselves most have eyes of
gray or blue.
Shakespeare had eyes of gray; so had
nearly all the English poets. Cole
ridges eyes were large, light gray,
prominent and of liquid brilliancy.
Byron's eyes were gray, fTinged with
long black lashes
Charles Lambs glittsring eyes were
strangely dissimilar in color, one be-
ing hazel, the other having specks OF
gray in the iris. Chatterton brilliant
gray eyes were his most remarkable
feature Under strong excitement one
appeared brighter and larger than the
Othre.

LONDON CHURCHMEN SHOCKED
Dean Of Ripon Discusses Birth and
Resurrection Of Christ in Lib
eral WAY
eraI Way

London. Oct. 30,-The Very Rev. w.
II. Freemantle, a well-known Anglican
divine and dean of Ripon. astonished
a meeting Of the orthodox body known
as the Churchmen's Union by his con-
tentions in an addrees on Natural
Christianity"
He asked in dealing with miracles,
whether It was irreverent 10 believe
that the Lord Himself could not have
made distinction between what mod
ern science woul recognize as death
and forms Of swooning and hysteria,
and that when Christ bade His disc.-
pies TO heal the sick and raise the dead.
He was speaking of what would be ac-
cepted In a different sense by the
scientific man today.
He said he could not look upon the
resurrection as a violation OF natural
law The teaching Of the resurrection
In later times was that there was n
spiritual existence. The accounts al
said that the Saviour was invisible
save to the eye OF faith.
They were met at the threshold by
what seemed a prodigy. namely, ihe
birth Of Christ from the virgin. His
own belief was that they ought to leave
that out OF account because apart from
the first two chapters Of st. Matthew
and the flnst two chapters Of St Luke
the virgin birth was non-existent in the
New Testament.
A discussion followed Some Of the
speakers said that such teaching Yves
deplorable nom a representative Of
such high standing in the Anglican
Church as the Dean OF Ripon.

The IIapDiest Wo an

| think the most serenely happy per-
son have ever known was a young
woman starting out to travel around
the world with very little scrip in her
purse, and no appreciable amount Of
luggage in the ships hold. writes
Katharine Page in November Pilgrim.
She was as nearly care-free as it is
given us TO be in these days of civil
cation. She could leave her stateroom
with no fear her bag of jewels would be
discovered and abstracted-she had no
bag of jewels; wore on her person the
brooch that had descended to her from
her mother, the tiny Swiss watch her
father had given her, her sole golden
possessions. She had money enough
to take her to the next port, and was
confident there she could earn suff-
cient to take her to the one beyond.
And the friends she made she could
accept as seeking her for her own
worth. she had not wealth nor power
to use as decoys. And friends not a
few there were she gathered to her
self on her travels; men and women
attracted by her truthful, buoyant per
sonality whose contagion they sought
as the moth the flame, but with hap
pier result The last l heard of her
she was half way around the world,
still with a light purse and light
heart.
This friend lacked the possession of
beauty, yet wherever she went she won
her way to the hearts Of those about
her Observing her set me philosophiz-
ing thus: Happiness is the most at
tracdve holding one can have 1t is
better than beauty; for beauty is as a
. flower of the grass, while a happy spirit
is one of the things that Time need not
, corrupt.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

It is a singular fact that a Pontin OF
Rome has never up to the present sea-
son been presented cl the stage. 1t was
on this account thai when Hall Gaines
novel, The Eternal City" was pub
lished there was considerable discus
sion in England, especially. as to
whether the novelist would retain the
character in the dramatic version OF
the story. ALL speculation under this
head was soon set at rest by Mr..
Caine, who announced that the chaTac-
ter Of the Pope was necessary to the
story, and that he had been assured by
the higher powers at Rome that there
was no objection TO his doing so. The
Eternal City" will be presented by
Viola Allen at the Opera House on Sat
urday night.
Arizona" the powerful American
play by Augustus Thomas, comes TO
the Grand Opera House on Tuesday
night. and an artistic treat is assured
all lovers OF the strong wholesome
play of Western ranch and army life
ARIZONA has a breezy atmosphere al
of its own. and an all-absorbing plot,
and its characters are the best drawn
and the best developed of any which
has been introduced TO the stage by the
American playwright in recent years.
'sArizona" comes TO the Opera House
next Tuesday night. The play is splen-
didly cast and beautifully staged. Few
plays are to be seen that have been so
well acted and appropriately mounted
It is said that s Miller Kent who
will appear at the Opera House next

years on the American stage. Mr..
Kent is starring this year in The

AS to green, they are for glory. The
Empress Catharine of Russia had eyes
of this hue.
The writer of a Persian song says;
A gray eye is still and shy,
Whether it smile or frown;
A roglish is the brown;
The eye of the blue is ever true;
But in the black eyes magic spell
Mystery and mischief dwell
Still, every pretty pair | see
Rule, ravish and bewilder me.
Aside from the color, there is the
shape of the eye to consider. Artists
regard the following as the ideal pro
portions:
The width should be one-fifth the
breadth of the head; the cornea one
third the width or the eye, and the
width of the lids apart should be equal
to the diameter of the cornea-
An odd little story is told about the
shape Of the eyes of Mime. Jane Had
ing. the French actress, which are very
remarkable. They are Of the cleares3
and purest brown, like that OF noun
tain brooks or wave-washed onyx, and
yelled with a thick fringe of black and
silky lashes.
But this is not all. Her eyes are un-
usually and extraordinary long, and
this length is said to be due to artificial
means.
It is a custom among the Turks TO
lengthen the eyes by cutting the cor
ners. This is done very early, at the
age of two or three years, the outer
! corner being deity sit with lancet
ab5ut the twelfth part of an inch.
: While the wound is healing the lids
are drawn outward every day, and
when it is quite cured the eye is still
submitted to the drawing process every
day for a lcng time. with theIesult that
fll becomes long and marrow.
The story about Nine. Hading pro
ceeds to declare that her father was in
Turkey and saw the practice, and de-
termined to try it on his little girl, ther
about three years old. Whether the
story is true or not one thing is GER
Tain, that the admirers of the actres
declare that sne has the most beautiful
eyes en- the stage.
