Show EYES THAT FASCINATE YOU there are eyes and eyes just as abik aim sri there are noses and noses I 1 mean by this that there are degrees of excellency in the eyes as there are degrees of excellency in all the works of nature the standard of beauty in the eye beyond certain effects Is largely arbi aary it depends a good deal upon the individual fancy I 1 have already in hi one of my sil silhouettes bou quoted from one of the charming sermons of that polished and scholarly 1 churchman bishop is OP jeremy bremy taylor aylor and cited the case of the greek painter who attempted to create an ideally beautiful face and head he chose the most beautiful features from the faces that in his opinion were the perfect faces lie he fancied the eye of chione the hair of and farrias Far Tar sias lip chin and the forehead of delphia and set all these upon neck and thought he should outdo both art and nature but he did not succeed so well as he had hoped when he came to view the proportions he found that the lip he considered perfect in tarsia was not in accord with the chin of Phi lentum that clones chones eye and delphias Delphi als forehead fore bead were nut not intended the one for the other and that while alone the hair of was the perfection of hirsute adornment on neck it cut a very sorry figure and the greek found that he could not make a beautiful face but that what he hoped would be beautiful was in fact quite ugly nature works differently ferent ly the most captivatingly beautiful face often has imperfect features it has always struck me that the color of the eye has much to do with the moral character of the person perhaps that is an awkward way of expressing the idea perhaps it would be better to say that the degree greenf of ones character is somewhat reflected in the color and expression of the eye why is this so Is there a physical or psychical reason for it does nature in its inscrutable workings decide first upon the character of the child and then watch it with a certain color in the iris ins the pupil of the eye if it is closely examined will be found to be a rare object there is more meaning in its shades in its gentle coruscations in its quick transitions in its enlargements and contractions than one would believe until he has looked thoughtfully into it it seems tobe to be directly connected with the soul it is the pupil that grows large under the inn influence bence of certain emotions and then contracts under the workings of others through this pupil we look into the soul no woman loves as she should love unless this sensitive part of the eye grows rows large le and then recedes under the working of her rhapsody the pupil so far as ae the relation of the eye to the character is concerned to is really the whole of the eye and so I 1 think although others may not agree with me that the most beautiful eye is that in which the pu pupil 11 is the most sensitive where it it is most responsive to the operations of the spirit back of it I 1 loveto love to look into one of those benel r 1 l tive eyes to me they seem like the summer sky which now is filled by the effulgent light of the sun and anon is temporarily darkened by a passing cloud if this kind hind of eye is in the socket of the skull of an emotional woman you my expect to see a lovely and a changeable character not by any means an inconstant one but one that reflects the modes of the spirit as plainly as the clear blue sky shows the passing cumulus A man or woman with this eye never deceives by either look or word their natures are frank and true this eye I 1 should call the emotional eye because it is a al ways accompanied by a strongly marked emotional nature and it is for this reason that this eye is generally the eye feminine not that all women have this eye but that a few men have it we find in the p etin the mus musician leian the artist and the dreamer I 1 should not look for it in a business man with this kind of eye will love you with great intensity if occasion demands the change she can hate with a like fervor but there is a great deal of constancy in a being with this eye but my silhouette on the eye is becoming too abstract let us confine it if to the concrete there are N various arious degrees of gray eyes and blue eyes and black eyes and brown eyes and some green eyes all of these colors mean some special characteristic act poets rave over the blue eyes in three cases out office of five where an apostrophe is addressed to the eye or where an imaginary heroine is created she has blue eyes I 1 never could understand this predilection for eyes of blue true they are very pretty and generally are accompanied by a pretty complexion on but in the light blue eye I 1 see nothing particularly striking it may make a pretty eve eye but it seems to me that the blue eye has a superficial expression which i ig not always attractive there are blue eyes which are so deep in the color that they are beautiful and when these are fringed with long lashes laches they make a rare eye but these are not the ordinary blue blueeyes eyes the average blue eye Is ia not magnetic the hard blue eye is difference itself the black eye to is the eye of intensity and passion there is no hall way business about it it is not so intelligent as the green eye the gray eye or the brown eye but it is soft and dreamy and ama tory the man or the woman with the sloe black eye goes to ey e it is all softness or all fierceness the slog black eye is not so expressive as we the others because there is none of the delicate traces of color lines which we see aee in the other ones there is a blankness to the iris of the very black eye which detracts very much from its beauty and while under the influence of emotion the coal black eye may change somewhat it never can be beautifully expressive because the color shadings are all lost the brown eye is a delicious eye it ft is soft and tender dreamy and intelligent but more delicately w k s sensuous than intellectual it toa T wonder that more poets do atma s 7 dress their ravings to the brown th to the blue eye the brown eye be speaks the genuinely tender the possessor of it seldom geee to 60 extremes there are few Tio violent lelit i agitations of the disposition als though I 1 have seen brown eyes that were accompanied by a genuinely satanic character there is no ja without its exception and d it to la nt not 1 I 1 fair to the brown eye to make th one a standard of judgment abw th brown browd eye is an eye to pin obed faith to I 1 it t is the sunny nature and the generous that looks through the brown eyes but the best eye to me is the gray I 1 eye and if there is a fleck of baah 4 in it or better yet a touch of lue it is the more effective filhe i gray bespeaks the constant nar n v ture it is the trustful eye the to tell igent eye the eye that eloquent ly portrays the responsive the syn f P pathetic aphetic the loyal character there is in in the expression of the grayeyes gra gray eya an indefinable essence or as aspect which fascinates md and holds the attention tr teri tion and commands the ca dence the steel gray eye Is ie tw tb f eye of cruelty but the soft gray eye with its pure and ex look who does not say that it ia beautiful and who can deny that the violet gray eye an eye that Is aoi seldom seen is not really ravishing but as I 1 have written tle beauty of anything is the proportion at 0 the object to the fancy and there be many whose fancy is so from mine that they will not agae with the words that they
