Few women understand the Importance
of taking the proper care of their eyes.
Here are number of hints from
famous specialist
STRENGTHENING THE EYES.
Regularly every night before going to
rest take an eye bath. You must invest
In little glass eye-cup for this purpose,
The cups are made in the shape of the
eyeball Fill the eye-cup with water,
into which a pinch of boracic powder has
been dissolved. Hold the cup up to the
eye and tilt the head slowly backward
and forward, opening and closing the
eyelid in the water,
II your eyes get very infamed, you
will find warm tea leaves an admirable
panacea. You apply the tea leaves in
the form of bandage, placing them in
n piece of butter muslin, which you roll
over neatly. Allow this bandage to re-
main on the lids for some time. Bathing
the eyes in cold tea is also very soothing.
BY the way, If you suffer from red eye
lids you will find bathing them in water
to which a teaspoonful of salt has been
added an excellent cure. You can apply
the salt water by means of a piece of
lint, which should be burnt after use.
THE COLOR OF THE EYES.
One of the secrets of making the best
Of the eyes lies in making the most of
their color That is to say, If your eyes
are n pretty blue, for instance, you
should make point of dressing In a way
that shows up this blue. 1t is we'll
known fact that the blue-eyed girl never
looks so pretty as when dressed, in the
different shades of blue. particularly in
the shades which tone best with her
eyes, and that the brown-eyed girl never
looks so we'll as In brown. The same
rule can be followed In most cases with
out exception. In regard to gray eyes,
however, you require to have a good
complexion as we'll II you are to wear
successfully the different shades of gray.

T1IVE little sunbeam fairies slid down
i to earth on golden sunbeam. Down
through the air they travelled so swiftly
that they had no time to look around
and see where they were going, they just
slipped to the earth in the quickest pos
sible time.
When they got their breath and looked
around after landing, they found them
selves in a beautiful forest; green trees
were over them, green moss and grass
under them and green bushes with beau
tifully colored blooms were all round
about them.
Did you ever see such lovely place"
exclaimed the first fairy, happily.
Think how much better this is than the
last place We visited on the earth" cried
the second fairy.
Don't speak to me about that horrid
stone quarry!" said third. with dismal
Ehiver IF ever again we land in a hor-
rid. gray, hard stone quarry, I'll stay up
in the clouds forever!" said fourth.
mo use saying such a thing as that"
remarked fifth, reprovingly, you know
very well that we sunbeam fairies have
to come to earth whenever our mother
sun sends us downward, and you know
we cannot choose where We go, when we
slide so swiftly through the air But let's
not talk about the unpleasant places we
visit, let's enjoy this beauty while we
have It; then when we are in an ugly
place we can shine all the better for
having seen this" Which was advice
worth following even If it did come from
a mere little sunbeam fairy!
So the fve fairies began to explore.
And before they had gone two feet,
they found many interesting jobs to do.
There were buds to open and leaves TO
paint green. There were insects to give
advice TO and birds to cheer. oh. sun
beam fairies can always find work to do
that's the reason why they are always
happy, you know!
And so busy and contented were they
with their work that they didn't notice
the fight of time. or how the skies were
becoming overcast ready for a shower,
till quite suddenly and Unexpectedly,
they got a message from old mother sun:

How He Disappoints Her
A Word of Warning to Girls Who Ex-
pect Too Much of Their Lovers

A word OF Warning to Girls Who EX-
pect Too Much of Their Lovers
1t often happens that a man may write
q better romance than a woman, but
he never-no, never-lives as grand a
romance as even the most ordinary girl
often does.
How wrapped up In romance girls natur-
ally are! From their very childhood they
are dreaming dreams in which they and
others play given parts-parts that are
planned Just to the dreamer's liking,
without any consideration as to the
events that may turn up to alter these
plans.
a young girl says to herself, "One of
these days shall meet him!" or course
in her fancy. it will be in a very roman
tic way. In time "he" comes. but in the
most ordinary manner. This does not
appear to trouble "him" in the least; in
fact, 1t really doesn't. But the little
maid is all a-fiutter. and tries hard to
throw a glamour of romance over tho
occasion, and she is quite miserable II
1t is MT as romantic as she dreamed it
would BE. And she is disappointed that
her lover does not seem TO be troubled
by the matter-of-fact surroundings.
1t would never do for girls not to have
a little sentiment in their hearts but
they must never lead themselves TO ex-
pect an outward appearance of romance
from affairs that are in reality very
practical.
A girl, at the bottom of her heart, eX-
poets that her Prince Charming will, on
bended knees, beg for her hand. declar-
ing that she is the only one bright star
in his heaven. But, after all, is she not
better pleased with the man who says,
IN the most un-story-book-like way: 81
declare, Molly, you're the incest girl 1
ever knew. / love you awfully, and wish
you would marry me-" II she is not, she
is not the right sort of girl.
1t probably is only fction-that story
of how the gallant of old" sued for his
lady's hand. Anyway, the present-day
man OF the ordinary sort Is too shy and
practical a creature to attempt to WOO
In this style.
Therefore girls who are romantically
inclined will always do we'll to remem-
ber, for their own happiness. that the
little affairs which go TO make up our
life are often very practical and un-
romantic In their outward seeming
especially with men.
The romantic always appeals TO a
girl, but a man inclines rather to re-
straint In showing his emotions They
are deep and genuine, but they are con-
cealed jealously from outward appear
ance, and often their existence is un-
guessed at by all the world-save one.
And even she may not quite realise their
intensity and reality.
Thus do men and girls differ.

bright side to everything and everybody
IL we look for It, and there is no doubt
that the woman who regards other people
In bright ard kindly spirit has learnt
the secret OF popularity
The discontented men and women one
encounters everywhere would have in
finitely more happiness in their lives II
they determined to view the brighter side
of the picture. For happiness is very
largely in our attitude toward life
Laugh, and the world laughs with you
weep. and you weep alone" is very
wise saying.
1t isn't always an easy matter to look
at the world through rose-colored glasses.
Too frequently we see 1t with q Jaundiced
eye. But the only remedy for this lies in
resoute determination TO keep ones
Illusions and above all, to make the very
best of things.
During the period of early youth we do
see life through rosc-Colored glasses For
are We not setting forth on the Great
Adventure? And the road lies before us as
something very wonderful very allurns.
1t is only in the grown-up period that
moOdness falls upon man or woman.
There not n Joy the world can give llko
that It takes away
When the glow OF early thought declines in
feelings dull decay;
'Iis not on youths smooth cheek the blush
alone that fades fast.
But tho early bloom OF life has ned ero youth
itself bo past.
And yet this pessimlstlc point of view is
not necessarily the right one.
For the grown-ups need not lose their
illusions, nor their keen susceptibilities.
When the heart is young one always sees
the world through rose-colored glasses,
and the world in return smiles back and
is Il very kind and a very wonderful
place.

FTIHE secret Of popularity very largely
i lies in looking at life through rose-
colored glasses. For then we shall sec
the best OF everything and everybody
and our attitude towards tho world In
general will be correspondingly pleasing.
The man or woman who has this point
OF view is to be very greatly envied. For
they have learned one of the most Valu-
able lessons In human life, and things are
going to be comparatively easy for them.
81 can't think what Mrs. Jones sees In
that plain. dull husband of hers de-
clares pretty. powdered Miss Smith.
Hes a regular bore, and ten minutes OF
his society would be enough for me"
And I'm our heart of hearts, many of us
agree most heartily with Miss Smith, and
wonder what an attractive woman like
Mrs. Jones can find in the quiet, stold
personality of her husband
Mr.. Jones is plain, perhaps, but II his
wife is really fond of him she doesn't
see that planness Il bit. When she looks
at him she sees the hoy who made love
to her more years ago than she would
care to count His eyes have the same
light in them for her, and the smile he
greets her with when he comes back
from the city quite makes up to her for
any lack of handsome looks.
As to being dull-well he is never dull
20 her! She loves to hear all about his
business life-what Brown said when the
junior partner went TO the races instead
of attending to work; what Mr.. Jones
himself said to the office boy when he
found that gentleman reading a novel
instead OF posting two most important
letters.
She doesn't see her husband with the
eyes of the outside world. Very few
wives do. Perhaps she attributes all
sorts of virtues to him that he does not
possess, but the very fact that she does
think so much of him helps him to be n
better man. II know my husband has
faults of course, but l care about him
so much that 1 never seem to notice
them," wife once said to me.
OF course. 1t doesn't do TO spoil hus-
band unduly. but at the same time 1t Is
well to keep as much romance as possl-

all people and things through rose-colored
