The fashion for women to make

ct Johns Hopkins university. Balti-
more.
Colors. according to artists, occur in
pairs and all col0rs are affected by sur
roundings. Experiments teach that II
you have beautiful blue orbs, you
should avoid the pale yellowish green
tints in wall paper. dress goods. and
shopping bags. II 1t IL brown that you
want. you should wear brown. look at
brown, and after a while the brown of
the eye will take on a rich, deep color
that will be noticeable. OF course 1t is
ony to q limited extent that this can be
done, but experiments have proven that
the hue Of the iris can be changed
enough to Deautify the eye greatly.
