good way to rinse them out and to
ease the lids. But be careful. 1t is
easy to hurt the eyes.
ITO make the eyes deep and ex-
pressive, women are resorting to a. very
little pencilling. But, unfortunately.
this is apt to show. The slightest
marks of the pencil are apparent a
long way off. and the woman who tries
this should thoroughly understand the
art of shading the eyes.
AS to the good taste of the pencil.
mere opinions vary. In France it is
universal to shade the eyes, and the
women Of Spain would not think of
dressing without putting a finishing
touch of languor to the eyelids and
corners of the eyes.
In London 1t is less prevalent.
though last season many English wom-
en- did touch up the eyes and were
gulity Oh considerable degree of max
ing up.
In these days of necessary cosmetics
and of fine toilet preparations it is
difficult to draw the line between what
should be used and what should not.
and the woman of good taste must de-
eide these points for herself
But in this regard it may be stated
that very little of what is known
as makeup is not bad form and that
the woman who uses hairpins and
side combs, who dresses conventional
ly and uses all the little arts of civili
cation to make herself pretty, need not
hesitate to dip into the rouge pot and
the makeup box. But she must do
1t in good taste and scientifically.
tint my finger nails: why may
l not tint my lips?' demanded a wom-
an. And tint her lips she did. but so
slightly as not to be noticeable
IF the lashes are darkened, let them
be deepened by touching them ever so
lightly with a dark pencil one of the
cosmetic sticks which come for this
purpose. And if the brows are too
light, let them be deepened in the
same manner. But work carefully. Do
not let it be noticeable.
But by far the best way to deepen
the eyes is by making the lashes heay-
Ter, by keeping the lids in good order
and by attending to what may be
termed the hygiene of the eve. The
eye must be carefully kept or it will
show neglect.
Here are some rules for the wom-
an who wants nice eyes:
Never read facing the light.
DO not read with the head lower
ed. Hold the book on a level with
the eyes.
Don't read on a moving train.
do not read while you rock.
Don't tax your eyes when you are
tired or hungry.
Don't try to read just one minute
Don't use your eyes when thew
smart. Smarting means that it is
time to give them rest.
Don't look at the bright sunshine
Don't face the wind without glasses:
don't walk out on a dusty day without
goggles.
Don't squint. for it weakens the
lids of the eyes: don't wink with one
eye only. 1t forms habit and pretty
soon the eyes will begin to wink un-
consciously to you. Don't twitch and
don't form nervous habits with the
eyes. These are things that are en-
tirely within your control.
But, about changing the color of
the eyes. Here you have something
which is interesting. 1t is fear
which is being performed every day.
and women who are trying to enhance
their good looks are sure to learn it
sooner or later.
There is a woman in London who
10 NCiJ bCdulhO1s I1Cf eyes dIt IL pale
gray. But she understands how to
change their color, and this is the way
she manages:
1.-THE eye. it may be remarked is
capable of rejecting tones as well as
lights, and this woman works upon
this theory.
Recently. wishing to have her eyes
look a deep violet, she hung a violet
curtain back of her. She placed vio-
lets in her corsage and she tied a vio-
let stock around her throat. In her
deep brown hair there was a violet
knot.
Seen by electric light, with all the
rays playing upon her. the woman's
eyes looked a pure, deep violet. They
were lovely as the violets themselves,
and callers that day remarked that
they had never seen her looking half
so well.
"On another day this woman. wish
ing to make her eyes a china blue, or
dered all things blue.
In front of her she placed a dish of
blue flowers. In her hair she tied a
blue knot. and around her neck there
was a blue satin ribbon, Seen in the
shadows of the room. her eyes were
as deeply, truly blue as any one could
wish.
Dressing does play am important
part IN the cOlOrlng or the eyes, and
you can make them prettier and bring
out their tones in almost any way you
please.
But there are other ways of chang
ing the apparent color of the orbs.
Here are some rules as given by a man
who has studied the subject:
Going to bed early will make the
eyes deeper in hue. The women who
wants her light brown eyes to appear
black will go to bed an hour sooner.
She will sleep facing a dark curtain
and win waken gradually in the MORN
ing.
Eating fruit and vegetables, and es-
pecially apples. will make the eyes
brighter. Light blue eyes will look Hike
delft and the faded gray eyes will seem
like a clean blue. Diet has q great
deal to do with the color of the eyes.
Emotion, and particularly happiness,
makes the eyes heavier and deeper IN
color. A woman who is deeply excited
will have glowing eyes, while she who
is restless will have faded eyes. The
deeper the emotion the deeper the tone
Of the eyes. The pigment which coll
ors the eyes comes and goes. and, like
tears, II can disappear from the eyes,
then come again with n rush.
Healthy women have brighter eyes
than sick women, and women when en-.
