A distinguished eye surgeon tells .
good story Of his hospital days. Three
other young, newly fiedged oculists
and himself were chatting In their
quarters in the hospital when the con.
versatlon turned. as was natural in
young men, upon the beauty Of differ.
ent colors Of eyes. One championed
the superior brilllancy and sparkle OF
the blue eye: another the depth and
fire Of the brown, while the third was
all for the clear. cool light Of the
hazel. After they had exhausted their
eloquence. with the usual effect Of con.
firming themselves in their original
opinions, the fourth young sawbones
suddenly broke in:
Il don't are a hang about your blue
eyes, or your brown eyes, or your gray
eyes! Just give me sore eyes and
plenty Of 'em-and I'll be happy"
