Protect Charm
Of the Eyes,
Is Advice
By Maria Jeritza

aaeEe is any author in the world

u fascinating, irresistible. Poets
ran stars "eyea Of the night to
draw attention to their brightness
and beauty.
How can a woman best bring out
I'LL the captivating charm and love-
lness Of her eyes?
1t is well to remember that beau.
tiful eyes are healthy eyes.
No matter how perfect their
formation, eyes cannot look at
tractive unless they are rested,
free from strain and inflammation,
with clear, vivid coloring. The
eyelashes should be thick and
long to shield and frame the eyes,
while delicately moulded eyebrows
further enhance their charm.
Most important of all, eyes must
sparkle with animation and bright
ness, rejecting an alert spirit, if
they are to qualify as beautiful.
Hygenic habits, such as regular
sleep eight or nine hours nightly
In a quiet, dark room flooded with
fresh air will prove first aid to the
beauty OF your eyes. Fresh air, of
course, will avail little unless you
breath it, so do not make the
childish mistake of smothering
your head in the bed clothes or
pillow and re-breathing vitiated air
you have exhaled from your lungs.
This habit is said to account for
more than one pair OF tired-look-
ing, dull eyes with hollows under.
meath.
In order to gain full benefit to
your eyes from your hours of
sleep, open the windows wide. If
there is a glare from a street lamp
or from any other light in your
room, it will tire and strain your
eyes even while you sleep. Insure
absolute darkness by means of
dark window shades or else with a
thick, dark screen.
When your eyes feel tired splash
them with cold water. This should
bring up circulation and so rest
them.
To further encourage brisk cir
culation of blood and nourish the
nerves and muscles of your eyes,
shut your eyes a moment while
you tap slightly but firmly with
your finger tips on your temples
and forehead.
At night, wherever there are
crows feet or wrinkles, lay coat
ing of skin food about your eye.
sockets.
To encourage growth of your
eyelashes, heat about two table
spoonfuls of vaseline in tiny
granite-ware frying pan you keep
just for that purpose. Dip small
tcamel's hair brush in the warm
vaseline, close your eyes, lean back
and apply the oil as near as you
can to the roots of your lashes.
The vaseline will not hurt YOUR
eyes If a little gets in them, and
If you persist in using it each
night, you can thicken and slightly
darken both your eyelashes and
eyebrows. The eyebrows can be
shaped with a comb. but should
be tweeZed, as in that case they
come in again thicker and more
bristling.
BY giving them intelligent care
and building up good health of
mind and body you can make your
eyes lovely to look at, fit windows
of your soul.

But the story occurs to me of 8
man who went to great and good
king a very long time ago in a
very far Eastern land and asked
how he might think so constantly
of good that no evil should enter
his heart.
And the king gave him a Tessel
filled to the brim with water and
told him to carry it through the
streets.
IF but one drop spills over the
side" said the king, you shall
die tonight"
The man set forth. And the
streets were rough, so he often
slipped and many there were along
the way who called to him, hoping
to take his eyes from the thing
he held.
But he came back to the king
without a drop having been lost.
The king said, THAT is the
answer to your question. Your at
tention was so fixed upon the task
had set you that you failed to
know aught else was in the world.
Fasten your thought in the same
unwavering manner upon good and
you will not know evil exists"
