Show MOST WOMEN NEGLECT CARE OF THEIR EYES I Color Should be Studied to Enhance Appearance Avoid Over Fatigue Imprudent and Diet all the features of the face OF O the eyes receive the least care probably because it is believed that little can be done to im improve improve prove their appearance This is a great mistake An otherwise ugly or plain face can be redeemed by the eyes The coloring of the eyes like Jike that of the hair is made to match the complexion and fortunately cannot be changed and everyone should believe the fundamental fact that the color of the eyes which I he or she has is just the right thing However the effect of the color of the I eyes can be greatly enhanced by the color of the dress or accessories worn around the face Experiment with silks or ribbons and find what is your color Brown eyes are helped by shades of brown and yet yel yellow low blue eyes with certain shades of bl blue e but one must bear in mind that it itis itis is n not it every shade of the blue or the brown that helps accentuate the color of the eyes for some will deaden their color and tale tafe all brightness and ex cx expression from them This is especially the case with blue eyes Those who make a study of appearance should neve nev er forget to put near the face ace 50 that i the eyes will reflect it shade I of coloring which will bring out that of the eyes The whites of the eyes should be of a adear dear clear blue whiteness and the sels should not show When they do it means an inflammation of the delicate cobweb tissue which covers the whites of the eyes and lines the lids When the eyes are arc strained by overwork or catching cold or the use of wrong glasses this membrane becomes inflamed and its tiny vessels enlarge If the in inflammation inflammation occurs often or for a long time it is difficult to ever restore them again to a condition where they will not show Those who have a tendency to this inflammation on should find out the cause so as to corre t it in order to have eyes and what is more useful eyes Avoid eye eyestrain eyestrain strain from too long use in bad light Avoid the strain that comes from wear wearing mg ing heavily dotted veils or those with intricate meshes which try the eyes and destroy their looks hooks more than women realize It strengthens the eyes very much to bathe them either in very hot F 1 I water or in very cold Better yet is to take a piece of absorbent cotton rounded and made into a little pad to fit the eyes dip them in and place them on the lids changing them as they become hot After a few minutes of such treatment the eyes will feel corn com comforted forted and relieved to a great degree This is especially grateful to the eyes after riding in the wind or after having been subjected to the dust and cinders of a railway or the glare of bright reo re reflections on the water when on a boat Those who have a tendency to weak eyes should daily use an eyecup in which is placed some water slightly salted or ora ora a acid solution The saturated solution diluted is generally the best and should be made fresh for each eye The eye eve should be opened and shut in the s solution lution a half a dozen times or more so that it will thoroughly bathe the eyeball as well as the lids The eyelashes and eyebrows next come up for consideration I have re received received many inquiries in regard to their care from my correspondents and I ask them to look for their answers here The eyelashes are bound to be scanty and straggling and uneven if the lids are inflamed This is the primary cause of most of the poor growth of lashes Examine the eyelids and if they are red and inflamed take the measures to relieve this inflammation Many times one or two hairs will ivill grow in in toward the eyeball these will cause great irritation bon tion and should be removed d by means of pincers Clip the ends of the lashes I with fine curved scissors It is difficult to do this for or ones self and it must be bevery bevery very careful done not to cut them too much Vaseline aseline is excellent to pro promote promote mote the growth of the lashes and the eyebrows One cannot do much to pro promote promote mote the outward curve of the lashes which is is the desirable way to have them grow but with the fingers one can shape the eyebrows If the hairs grow out of the proper line or become coarse and long they can be removed with tweezers tweezers ers The hair of the eyebrows retains the color long after the hair of the head has turned gray Light and gray eye eyebrows eyebrows brows d detract tract from the appearance and not only is it justifiable to darken them but it IS an easy process as it can be bedone bedone done with pomade J pencils whIch come for the purpose It is is the only application tion of color that is is in any way an im improvement improvement provement to th face ace Some pencil under the lower lid thinking that it im improves improves proves the looks They are arc much de deceived deceived for it gives a very ar artificial ap appearance appearance to the face the same as paint mg the cheeks or changing the color of the hair To stimulate the growth of the eyebrows a lotion made of five parts of camphor and five parts of tincture of cantharides to fifty parts of cologne would be useful to alternate with the vaseline aseline applications Several correspondents have written me about the dark circles which trouble them under their eyes Generally these circles occur as the result of over fatigue or some disturbance of the in internal internal or organs ans They are more often seen in brunettes whose small blood vessels which surround the eye must be nearer the surface I would advise those subject to the dark circles to avoid excesses of all kinds gue and in diet will caust them Often the liver is at fault and one should avoid constipation Such should take a dose of Rochelle salts or Carts Carls Carlsbad bad salts a teaspoonful in a glass of water before breakfast a nauseous dose but exceedingly beneficial to the health bringing about results as admirable as going to a establishment Many are afflicted with puffiness under the eyes This is often due to in flam mation of the lower lid and the puffiness will be greatly benefited by removing it Massage will help give give a tone to the skin Lightly smooth the skin while exerting gentle pressure with the fore forefinger forefinger finger and middle finger of each hand applied to the corresponding eye Also rub with a circular motion the wrinkles and that come at the corners of the eyes A few of these movements when washing the face night and morn morning morning ing will vill greatly help such conditions It is a great trial to have to wear eye eyeglasses eyeglasses glasses but one should not regard them themas as such but should be thankful for the perfection to which these aids to the sight have been carried in our day Women make a mistake in trying to put off the time when owing to their years they have to wear them It is very hard hardon on the eyes to go glasses when they are needed The best beautifier ot of the eyes is a happy optimistic nature It gives a brightness and light which nothing else can supply I |
