keeping the lids in good order and by
attending to what may be termed the
hygiene Of the eye. The eye must be care

Here are some rules for the woman
who wants nice eyes:
Never read facing the light.
DO not read with the head lowered.
Hold the book on 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
Don't try to read just one minute more
Don't use your eyes when they smart.

There is n woman in London who is very
beautiful. Her eyes are a pale gray. But
she understands how to change their color,
and this is the way she manages
The eye, It may be remarked is capable
OF reheciing tones as we'll as lights, and
this woman works upon this theory:
look a deep violet, she hung a violet cur
tain back of her. She placed violets in
her corsage and she tied violet 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 80 well.
sOn another day this woman, wishing
to make her eyes china blue, ordered
all things blue.
I'm front of her she placed dish OF blue
flowers. In her hair she tied blue knot,
ribbon. Seen in the shadows OF the room,
her eyes were as deeply, truly blue as any
one could wish.
Dressing does play an important part
in the coloring of 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 changing
the apparent color of the orbs. Here are
some rules as given by 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 dark curtain and will waken grad
ually in the morning.
Eating fruit and vegetables, and espe-
cially apples. will make the eyes brighter.
Light blue eyes will look like delft and
the faded gray eyes will seem like clean
blue. Diet has great deal to do with the
color Of the eyes.
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 colors the eyes comes
and goes, and, like tears, it can disappear
from the eyes, then come again with a
rush.
Healthy women have brighter eyes
than sick women. and women when enthu-
siastic have orbs three shades lighter than
when not reused to enthusiasm. The pig
ments Of the eye rush into the color zone
at the first show of enthusiasm.
But it Is the women who take care OF
their eyes who have the really beautiful
eyes. Care, after all, is the whole thing"
