Mate; Practical Person Should
Choose Blue or Gray.

Who make better mates, persons
with brown eyes or persons with blue7

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.

women with gray or blue eyes are nee

see romance in the nights mysteries,
and want to stay and dream.
