RESTING THE EYES.
Precautions for the Niddlc-Aged-
Eye strain and Bcauty.

The eye, II has been said, Is the window
of the soul, and 1t behooves us, there-
fore. TO keep that window very bright
and clear. A beauty expert whom I con-
suited on the subject of eye treatment
told me that She attached more inn
portance to rejuvenating the eye of her
middle aged clients than any other
features.
Strained eyes give such n look Of
fatigue and 'nervincss' to a woman
spelling her expression entirely, and
they cause headache and so-called bill
iousness, and help, moreover. to bring
wrinkles and lines to the face.

young are all the better for taking care
