Isabel Evesson 81, 800 for breach of con
tracts against her former manager, Flor
! ence Ziegfeld. the husband of Anna Held
! When the case was tried in Philadelphia
two weeks ago. it attractd attention be-
cause Of the argument made by the de.
tense that the jury had been unduIy infiu-
! need by the actress soo-goo eyes.
When the trial began the jurors-whis-
kered and sedate Pennsylvanians-paid
| no particular attention to anything but
the evidence.
Gradually, however, they lost interest
| In the witnesses and began to gaze at
the fair plaintiff. They seemed to realize
that hers was the up-to-date goo-goo eve.
Not that Miss Evesson intended to Ian
quish usually upon them. Oh. dear, no.
1t was her natural expression.
Juror No. 1 saw and succumbed. Juror
No. gazed and subsidized into slavery,
ether jurors yielded one by one to the
soft and dreamy gaze spread over them
ike a benediction from the dark eyes
OF Miss Evesson.
The natural verdict of Miss Evesson
was $1,000 damages. 1t was all she asked.
Had she sued for $2.eoo and looked twice
as pretty what would the result have
been? The limit, undoubtedly.
The verdict has raised a curious ques-
ton at law. Shall goo-goo eyes be pro-
hibited from welding their influence upon
the jury Shall they be immured in outer
darkness while husbands tell the juries
their stories of wrecked homes and tickle
wives Shall goo-goo eyes be permitted
to pour their volumes of unspoken senti-
ment upon jurymen, while husbands with
work-worn eyes. or no eyes at all, defend
themselves as best they can from false
accusations
This is a question for the law to de-
termine. In the mean time Miss Evesson
has secured her verdict of 1890 from
Miss Anna Held, presumably by the ju-
dicious use of the modern goo-goo eye.
Moreover. it is a differentiation of the
original goo-goo eye. which was imported
to America by Anna Held-the defendant
in the case-several years ago.
The up-to-date goo-goo eye-the eye
of Miss Evesson-the eye which impressed
the Pennsylvania jury-is dark and ten
der. deep well of light in pale set
ting-the eye of a dying fawn.
There is nothing languishing In it, moth
ing yearning. 1t seems to say: Here /
am. Take my life or permit me to live
l am at your mercy"
And the discriminating jury permitted
her to take her life and $500 of Miss
Helds money.
Regarding the case at point, Miss Held
would not commit herself. Regarding
goo-goo eyes. however, she consented to
talk for the Sunday World.
'Goo-goo eyes," said she, ARE dreamy
eyes.
i think it is better to say dreamy eyes
than 'goo-goo' eyes. You can tell lady
she had dreamy eyes. but you never ought
to tell her that she had 'goo-goo' ones
So, if you please. 1 will say dreamy
and not 'goo-goo' to you in our little
talk.
Dreamy eyes are long and almond
mond shaped. The prunelles lis it pupils
that you say in English? are small. The
white is clear and there is a great deal of
1t.
''Almond-shaped, large, with a small
pupil and an abundance of clear white
that is my idea of dreamy eyes. My own
eyes are brown and almond-shaped, the
pupils are small. the white is clear.
Il have been talking of my own eyes
all the while. you see. 1t was very nice
of me.
But the dreamy, 'goo-goo' that is soul.
that is sensibility, that is feeling, sincere
feeling.
There must be certain temperament,
a temperament like mine, and there must
be no shamming.
Then, under the prorer conditions The
eyes Will be goo-goo. ysry xos-gco. tee
gop-goo. it may he. for one's good E"
Mss Held sighed.
But never a word would Miss Held say
about the lawsuit with Miss Evesson ex-
cept this:
Il jealous. Ny manager-my husband, |
the law bar them?
Always express clearly what you think !
or feel in your eyes. Let your whole self |
be the expression of what you are saying i
or singing-let your eyes. your hair. your |
dimples, your hands. your shoulders. your |
feet say the thing quite as clearly as |
your voice and more so,-et. en.in. soyez |
tout fat naturei.s.'
This advice. which Anna Held gives |

ben followed to the letter by Miss Isabel !
Evesson in her suit for damages.
