Barnes reads this letter carefully

Beautiful Ewes.

The almost universal habit of turn.
Ing the head in whichever direction
you look deprives the eye of the exer-
else to which 1t is entitled. The law
of vision is such that, when your eyes
are set straight to the front you can
see in almost every direction, except
behind your head. Every now and
then you see woman with eyes that
seem to roll in their sockets, taking
in everything without suggestion Of
head movement. Those are the eyes
that drive men to distraction. Ok

eyes. Open eyes. Altogether different
from the small, ferret eyes of the de-
