In all probability you saw eyes

ing to their surroundings.
But quite regardless of color
and even of size. the eyes that
are easiest to look at" I believe
you will agree, are those whose
clearness, calmness and bright
ness signify mind happy and
at once and a healthy body.
: Eyes through which interested
friendly good will looks, cannot
but be interesting, though their
owner may be far too deeply alb
sorbed in thoughts not of herself
to know her eyes are attractive.
Beautiful eyes are within the
reach Of all Of US, because lovely
eyes are eyes that are clear,
rested and expressive Of mental
and physical heaAGu.
No matter how small your eyes
may be. and although their color
may be far from your preference,
yet, you can, If you wish, gain
for them this charm Of healthy
clearness and radiant friendliness.
OF course, the mental recipe
for attractive eyes is simple and
within the reach Of you and me
and everyone. Watch your own
thoughts. Refuse entrance to
every mental suggestion that is de.
structive. Rule out fear thoughts,
hate thoughts, disbursement
