Do we need to be told that the eye is the
most expressive of features? If a poet is
asked for what charm a woman is most ad-
mired will he not answer that beautiful
eyes WELD the greatest charm. and that
Every pretty pair see

And do not beautiful eyes possess power
as well as charm-a power with which a
maiden is able to draw her lover around the
whole circuit of the globef
Even milady's eyebrows, as we'll as her
eyes. are able to inspire both admiration
and sonnets.- Pliny contended that part of
a womans soul dwelt in her eyebrows. and
Herder called arched eyebrows the rain
bows of peace
Eyebrows show so much character that q
man can choose wife successfully by ex-
amining the brows that arch his sweet
hearts eyes. If the eyebrows are wide
apart they denote frank generous and i'm
pulsive nature. Straight eyebrows denote
great determination and will power. Ten
derness and sensitiveness are indicated by
slightly arched eyebrows.
The most unfailing index Of character,
however, Is the eye. From Its pure. crys-
talline depths the soul looks through upon
the world. Every glance speaks, and what
it shall say to you depends upon the wo-
man; her character, temperament and dis
position. Should you doubt a woman's word
look into her eyes. for the soul knows
naught of diSSimulation and looks through
these flimsy wells with telltale frankness.
An eye that has it's sunshine, it's twilight,
it's moonbeams and its storms is the soft,
gray eye with the large pupil. that con-
tracts and dilates at a word. a thought or
a flash of feeling. A wonderful eye is this

or not. and that holds you after it has cast
you off. This is the eye Of which the lover
should beware.
Firmness and Fire.
Black eyes are typical of fire, heroism
and firmness. Don't arouse them. They
are capable Of taking vengeance, they sell
dom forget an injury and will bide their
time. 1t Is said that man may recover
from the heartaches caused him by blue
eyed woman, but once he has fallen under
the sway of a beautiful dark orb he Is

The dark, Velasquez eye. full Of passion.

most beautiful and the most dangerous of
ALL
Although black eyes are thought the
brightest, blue the most feminine and gray
the keenest, all these colors are known to
change character. though 1t must be own
ed that when blue eye looks ungentle 1t
seems more out of character than the ex-
tremeSt contradiction expressed by others.
Little eyes must be good tempered or
they are ruined. They have no other re-
source. But good nature will beautify
them enough. They are made for laughing
and should do their duty.
There is something to be said about train.
Ing the eyes. She who would show senti-
ment with the eyes, for example, should
lift them slightly and look just over the
head Of her companion. not up at the cell

at his forehead
