scious and Subconscious Mind,
as Nothing Else Can.

Yet how often is 1t consulted, and
how many of us have sufficient knowl-
edge to enable us to read 1t Alright?
In these days of unsOlved crime
mysteries, ability to read the charac-
ter more or less accurately from the
eyes is a possession worth having, as
serts London Answers. And this
knowledge is not mere guesswork; 1t
is based on scientific facts and COM
PARSONS.
Science has brought out facts show
ing that human eyes, like those Of
animals, denote the working Of the
conscience and subconscious mind.
Perpetrators Of recent murders, IL
placed side by side, would provide
useful information to the psychologist
and Scotland Yard.
Eyes cannot be influenced In color
by the mind. Dark, flashing eyes can
not be made blue, any more than the
alcoholic can show eyes like the abb
stainer. A patient consulting his doc
tor may not think his illness can be
diagnosed by his eyes, yet 1t is useless
for him to say he sleeps soundly when
his eyes show the contrary.
Looking at the eyes of people you
know, the following characteristics
will be found almost invariably: In
man, round blue eyes denote good
temper, easy going, free with
strangers and friends. II the eye
brows do not meet in the middle, he
Is free from criminal instinct, but sub
ject to minor crime through his feel
ings for others.
If blue be tinged with gray, perse-
verance and strength Of moral char
acter must be added. He keeps his
word, but does not forget an injury.
This type of eye suggests sleepiness.
but In reality, denotes fertile brain
and retentive memory, strong con-
stitution, capable of hardship, yet re-
tanning an active mind.
Lucky are women with blue eyes.
They are sweet tempered. If married,
they will prove amiability itself, and,
fond Of children. their sphere is in
the house, or the finer work Of the
drawing-room.
Gray eyes are ascribed to officers
of rank. politicians, and judges. Gray
eyes are stern and commanding, show
ing a forceful and dominant will, with
great powers of persuasion.
If the eyes be full and prominent,
with a CLASSY appearance, the opposite
Is found; this type is not reliable, can
not stand a strain, is never forceful,
perhaps good workman, but useless
as a master. The owner of such an
eye is usually an egotist, not liking
people who hold different views. With.
out being inclined to crime, he lacks
determination.
A little study soon defines the crimL-
nal eye which will not look anybody
straight in the face, pickering with
what is known as a furtive glance;
when doing this, he calculates his
chances of success.
In ladies, gray eyes are not an as
set. For beauty or love, blue, black
or hazel have the preference. Old
maids and man haters usually pos
sess gray eyes, which, however, often
denote fixity of purpose and noble
ness of character. Women criminals
have the deepset eye. showing they

strong mind can keep a secret
Dark eyed people are considered
handsome and attractive. In the man,
1t amounts TO magnetism, the hyp-
notist being in this class. Such eyes
denote a determination to go through
at all cost; their owners love with a
mad passion. The woman in this
class is Jealous before marriage; after,
she will ruin anybody who tries to
come between them. She delights In
and dress. Dark eyes are not
stronger than other colors, as is COM
monty supposed.
The next study requires care to
judge, or mistakes will result. This is
the small, black. beady eye, set deep
In the head, never seeming to be prop
erly open. This type Of man or wom-
an binks and turns away when
looked at, as If to conceal what they
fear can be read from their eyes.
This is the criminal eye, and de-
notes cunning, greed, vice and deceit;
no feeling for others. This is the
person to avoid. at all times, for
though he may not have any intention
Of evil, he lacks only the opportunity. |
The true hazel eye is seldom seen.
This denotes, In both sexes, magma
ton, fickleness in love, fondness of |
pleasure, and no desire TO rise In the |
world. Owners of hazel eyes have no
criminal instincts. their tongue being
their most dangerous weapon.
