EYES OF A PORTRAIT.
Why They Seem to Follow Observers
Movinq To and Fro.

The :sct that the eyes of some por-
rats follow the observer as be moves
% different positions has always been
looked upon as a triumph of realism.
Although the phenomenon has been
exaggerated In some Instances. II Is
not myth. II the eyes of the portrait
look ut the observer In a favorable pc
sition they will continue to do So with
In wide angle extending to any stu
alton where view IL possible. Con-
trarily. II the eyes tlo not Intentionally
look at the observer they will not do
SO even though he take his station at
a point where the painted gaze is seem
ingly directed.
Suppose that the portrait head Is in
three-quarter face turned to our left.
with the eyes turned toward the spec
tator. II we move to the right we do
not obtain another view of the head
that Is, we do not move into the profile
view that would be the case In real
life. We see the same three-quarter
head. but lessened in perspective. The
picture itself Is on a fiat canvas and
becomes narrowed In perspective. as
does any 6at surface leheld Mt less than
right angle. A square seen at less
than a right angle tends toward the
projection of an oblong Under these
conditions the face of the portrait be-
comes elongated prOportionally. 1t still
looks at the spectator because it pos
sesses all the drawing that WAS seen
In the front view. narrow now because
viewed from an acutesangle.
This fact will be more readily under
stood by the spectator If he will half
close his eyes until unable to appreci-
ate the surroundings of the picture
and the acute angle which the painted
surface bears to him. The contraction
of the features will be apparent at
once. The photograph of II portrait at
an acute angle would show the per-
spective narrowing more plainly. 1t Is
this contracted portrait that is seen
upon moving to the right or left of 1t.
The principle would be the same II the
spectator take station higher or low
er than the picture. except that the
head would then appear TO be widened
instead of narrowed. Whatever the
position of the spectator. the eyes will
look at him tif they do so In the first
place, because there Is no other place
for them 10 look. -Harper's Weekly.

THE EARLIEST EASTER
SINCE THE yEAB 1856
The Great Spring Feast Day
Will Come This Year on
March q.

When Mayor Gaynor said the 9TH
er day that New York City had
been caught mapping he was not
thinking of Easter; he was thinking
of steamship piers. But being
caught mapping when one should be
building long piers for long steam
ers is no more embarrassing than
waking up to find your annual
spring holiday, knocking at the door
with the thermometer below freez-
ing, snow on the ground and your
Spring things still in moth balls,
or at best in a still unfinished state
at the tailor's, the milliner's or the
dressmaker's. And that is the pre-
dicament New York may find itself
plunged in when dawns the morn
ing of March 23, 1913.
That is the date on which Easter
Sunday falls this year. With cries
of do your Christmas shopping
early" still ringing in the atmos-
phere, not many people have
thought of other holidays to con-
quer. But as matter of cold
(perhaps literally cold) record, let
it here be set down that Easter will
arrive promptly on March 23, and
that it hasn't arrived so early since
the good old DAYS of 1856, when
there was no Easter parade and
folks had not taken to poisoning
out in brand-new, almost summary
attire in honor of the occasion.
If you were to take the Fourth of
July and present it to the 100000
900 or so citizens of this land in
mid-June, or if you were to grant
them Christmas and all that goes
with it early in December, the up
heaval would be no greater than il
will be when Easter makes it's I'M
timely appearance in the clustering,
stormy, cold, cherries and alto
gether unliked and disagreeable
month of March-the month of the
great blizzard of 'SS and other re-
grettable things atmospheric. What
ever comfort there is in knowing
that Easter came as early as this
81 years ago, or even day earlier
in 1912, or even two days earlier
in the year 3S7 A. ID. in that part
of the world known as Gaul-may
