blunders wrinkles very soon.
Look at your reflection in the mir

preston.
Then think what it should
mean if it should become per-
manent.
Just one last word-Mistakes
are of the dead past; let them
bury themselves-and don't you
be one of the mourners. J

other young, newly fledged oculists

ent colors of eyes. One championed
the superior brilliancy 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
frming themselves in their original
opinions, the fourth young sawbOnes
