y Woman's eyes are the first objects
to attract Il mans attention. and they
are the last things he remembers about

cast her photograph upside down into

the slippers she made for him may have
been worn out by his valet but still some
particular turn OF her glance or lifting
her brown eyes will be as clear to him
as the daylight. Ten years after love
has been laid away in his little satin
lined caSket that glance will rise like
Fanquo's ghost ut the feast and startle
him Just AT the moment when the man
Is looking most intently into the eyes OF
another woman.
1t is not the color of woman's eyes
which Il man first observes or last re
members. Nine times out Of ten man
will turn from the glance of a pair OF
soft brown. cowlikc eyes to gaze into
the green orbs of the rcd-headed girl on
the other side of the table and many

The Next Convention.

Ard now the quest ton is, Where shall
the next State Democratic Convention
be held?
Norfolk, Roanoke and Richmond, and
possibly some ether cities, will extend
Invitations to it, and be pleased to make
such arrangements for the comfort and
entertainment OF delegates and visitors
as the occasion demands and custom JUS
titles.
This years convention will be held for
the purpose of electing delegates to the
Democratic National Convention. and also
to appoint electors for Virginia ON the
presidential ticket and poetry canvassers
for the State at large, and to transact
such other business as may be brought
to the attention Of the convention by
members thereof.
1t is considered possible, IL not proba-
Bile, that the primary election question

J ton again; but. If SO, it will be only to
discuss details. The primary system. as
system, Is heartily favored by the
Democratic masses. There may be, how
ever, some differences Of opinion as to
details. About that we do not know.
Something may depend upon. action or
non-ac,lon on the part OF the Lcgisla-
