BeaU[T&
Eyes ~

va O feature OF the face is so es-
Iva sential to beauty as the eye.
Many a woman has been pro
q A. nounced beautiful when chin
mouth and nose were actually faulty,
but SO compelling was the beauty of her
eyes that minor faults in the face went
unnoticed. No woman on the other
hand can possibly lay claim to beauty
If her eyes are not beautiful. The
face may be a perfect oval, the mouth
a rosebud, the complexion like blush
rose, but small, pale. red-lidded eyes
will so effectually spoil these good
points that their possessor must inevi-
tably be branded plain"
A woman Is as old as her eyes.
They are indisputable evidences of the
years she has lived and the expert
ences she has been through. The com
plexion may be massaged and tinted
to look like baby's but alas for the
utter sophistication in the eyes under
the babyish fiower-trimmed hat!
Now what will keep the eyes young
and unspoiled?
Two courses of treatment: One
course for their physical attributes.
and another, more important course
for their spiritual aspect. Kind
thoughts, tolerance and not criticism
of others. high ideals, unseifish deeds.
devotion to the beautiful in art. in lit
erature and music, and most of all
sympathy for every living thing; all
these, If a constant habit of mind, win
give the eyes the beauty that charms,
and draws young and old who come
within its radius.
Now for the physical treatment.
