Why Eyes Sparkle

merriment causes frequent move
ment OF the eyelids up and down, and
as II is the function OF the eyelid to
release a tear each time ii comes
down. the repetition has the effect OF
covering the eye With considerable
moisture
The light shining on this moisture
gives the sparkling effect
Inasmueh as the merry appearance
OF the eye is caused by tears. We are
apt TO shed them from laughing as
well as from crying Tears are inti-
rately associated with our merry and
our sad moods.
