them feel rested and look brighter
is to dip a pad of cotton in cold
skin tonic and place 1t across the
eyes for a few minutes while you
rest. This trick is a great boon to
working girls who come home feel
ing and looking tired and ragged and
still want TO look their best for a
big evening.
Lines Around Eyes
The setting of your eyes is i'm
pOrtant to their beauty. If you have
dark circles, deeply-etched lines or
puffs around your eyes, you will look
tired and listless. And this, too,
is a matter Of general health. Too
little sleep and too much gayety
contribute to that weary look.
The delicate skin around your
eyes deserves special attention.
Every time you laugh, smile, frOwn
or squint, little lines appear around
the eyes and if your skin Is dry
these lines become deeply etched. A
heavy cream smOOthed in this area
at night will keep the skin lubri-
Gated and discourage the lines. Care
should be taken not to rub the skin
roughly, however, because 1t is cas-
lily stretched, causing more lines.
1t is really more simple than you
would think. Get plenty of sleep,
avoid eyestrain, and use a rich
cream around your eyes at night If
you would be bright-eyed girl with
that good old "cOme-hither" look.

Proper care of the eyes is, Of
course, necessary to good health
since eye-strain is not only physical
ly exhaustlng but frequently results
in severe headaches and, II cOntin-
uOus and severe enough, will mean
that you eventually have TO wear
glasses. But at the present moment
let's consider the eyes from the
standpoint of beauty rather than
health.
Beautiful eyes need not be excep-
tIOnally large or of an unusual col
or. Sparkling eyes, with the whites
very clear and the irises sharply de-
fined, can make the plainest face
seem lovely. But you can't have
clear, shining eyes II you stay out
till all hours of the night, constant
~ read in a poor light and generally
mistreat the windows of your
soul" Your eyes, like everything
else, require care if you would have
them beautiful.
Sleep an important Factor
Here are a few important rules to
observe in the care of your eyes,
First of all, get at least eight hours
Of sleep nightly. How many times
nave you heard this, and in how
many different connections? Sleep
is the greatest beautifier known, and
the woman who disregards it will
pay in loss of beauty. Before using
your eyes for any length of time,
make sure that the lighting is
proper, neither too little nor too
much. Too bright light is just as
hard on the eyes as to little. When
going out in the glaring sun of
summer, protect your eyes either
with a wide-brimmed hat, a sun
shade or dark glasses. Squirting
against the sun causes little lines
around the eyes which detract from
their beauty
If you use your eyes a great deal
during the day, good way to make
