LET EYES DECIDE
Wise Advice for Those Contem-
plating Matrimony.
The Dreamer Needs Brown-Eyed
Mate; Practical Person Should
Choose Blue or Gray.

Who make better mates, persons
with brown eyes or persons with blue?
Although no hard-and-fast rule can
be laid down, those with brown eyes
are more steadfast and faithful. Nat
uralists say that dogs or horses with
deep brown eyes are gentler than those
with the grayiSh tint. This applies
equally to human beings.
Brown eyes mean gentleneSs. The
secret of married life is tolerance,
which is another word for gentleness.
1t must not be imagined that men or
women with gray or blue eyes are nee
essarily intolerant. But, generally
speaking, character can be told from
eyes.
A man with wistful brown eyes prob
ably will be a dreamer. Suppose he
marries blue eyeS-that indicate indi-
vidualism and often egotism-after a
while blue eyes will tire of brown
eyes. Gentleness and dreamineSS will
be mistaken for weakness, and blue
or gray eyes usually despise weakness.
Without respect, love cannot last.
If, therefore, you are a dreamy per-
son, look for a life companion, a mate,
in the man or woman who possesses
brown eyes. If you are a man, you
will need comforting and 'mOthering."
Psychologists say that all men with
the "mOther-compleX heart"-a heart
that is gentle, and wants to mother"
or protect somebody, and, therefore, to
| be 'mothered" in turn-are born with
| brown eyes. BrOwn-eyed people are
usually romantic and sentimental.
Blue-eyed people are more practical.
| They usually laugh at sentiment call
| ing it "sickly sentimentality." I'm
| agine, therefore, a sensitive girl mar
ried to a man who considers her to be
weak and a "Sentimentalist." How is
| love going to last in those circum-
stances?
| Curiously enough, like usually at
tracts unlike in early youth, as one
pole of another Therefore, an eX-
| tremely sentimental man often falls in
| love, or imagineS himself to fall in
| love, with an extremely practical
| young woman, the result being a tenn
| pOrary broken heart on the part of the
unfortunate youth. Brown eyes YER
SuS blue eyes, in all probability.
Yet imagine for a moment what
would have happened, had they mar
ried, The first wonderful attraction
of oppOsiteS-and while it lasts it is
ll-pOwerful-would soon pass, for no
fire can blaze in brilliance Indefinitely.
Imagine the two going for a walk on a
! spring night
He-the brOwn-eyed sentimentaliSt-
would feel thrilled by the beauty of
the night, of the moon rising like a
great white water lily in the dark
pool of the sky Or perhaps he would
| want to pause and gaze at the stars,
or watch a 'ghOstly barn owl winnow-
ing over the young corn. He would
see romance in the nights mysteries,
and want to stay and dream.
But she-the blue-eyed practical one
would remember that certain
is to be done properly on the morrow,
that colds might ensue from linger-
ing in the dew fall. However each
might wish to please the other, intOler-
ance would creep in, and the old words,
"He-Or she-dOeSn't understand"
misunderstanding means misery.
If YOU are dreamer, marry a
| dreamer; if you are brOwn-eyed, marry
brown-eyed person. If you like life
and action, and possess blue or gray
or green-eyeS. marry a person with
| eyes of one of those cOlOrS.-LOndOn
