There are many colors Of eyes, in

Eyes are so useful that men who
have no eyes are considered most I'M
fortunate. They must make their Nv

very fine one for a blind man. as

Blind men are happier than deaf
men anyway. This is partly because
they do not have to look at car signs,
bilIbOards other peoples automobiles
and wOmen's hats
Eyes are very delicate and get out
of repair easily They must then be
helped out with glasses. There are
two kinds of glasses-the kind that
hook over the ears and the kind that
straddle the nose. The latter are
much more stylish and fall off every

Man is well protected with eyes in
front. but must rely on automobile
horns behind. Mans eyes are so
placed that he cannot see his own face
which accounts for t. many startling
varieties of whiskers which are worn.
