Show I Woman's World. Sf. X Specially Prepared for Our Feminine Reader. THE WAY A GIRL LOOKS AT A MAN. Mariom Maxtineau in Chicago Tribune. ' It the way a girl looks at a man!" said an observant woman who makes a specialty of studying woman- kind and their ways, as applied to the subjugation, of man. "I don't care how pretty a girl may be, how deep her eye sockets may have been built, how large around her I eyes are, .how dark their pupils, nor I how intense their light, they will I amount to nothing and do no havoc at all unless she knows how to use them. "The girl who lifts a pair of deep, beautiful eyes to a man's face and looks him full in the eyes a minute ere she drops them, is the girl who understands a thing or two about these matters. "Her uplifted eyes ask him a question ques-tion or they express an interrogation ever so mildly without asking. The girl who has deep beautiful eyes and who knows how to lift them does not have to ask questions; her eyes will do their own querying, j "The girl who has large, round blue eyes and who understands the use tc which to which large blue eye3 can ! be put is the girl who knows how tc j look at a man as he should be looked at She has the art of staring at him without appearing to stare at him. She will look him full in the face not in the eyes, mark you but full in the face, and she will keep ner eyes ou him ntil they have done their work. If she be a girl who can Indulge in the baby stare with propriety sne will slightly part her lips and the rims ot her teeth will show while sne stares at him. "Looking a person full in the face is a f ne art. If done well it is the most effective weapon known to woman. wo-man. It is good for a heart conquest every time. But if done badly there is an awkward moment during which j neither knows what to say or how to begin. Then the woman removes her stare and th conversation goes on. 0 Look a Person in the Face. "The art of looking a person in the face lies in looking at the entire face, all in ene kindly sweep. Do not look right into a person's eyes, for this is j uncomfortable. There Is nothing quite I so disagreeable as having a person look you right in the eyes. It is dis concerting, even to those who have good nerves, and to those who are j veak in the nerves it is positively trying. "Never try to look into the pupils of a persons eyes; never attempt to look at the eye itself; never lean forward and look a person full in the face; never nev-er open your eyes widely In a stare when talking to a person. "These are some little tricks of the eyes that are possessed by many persons, per-sons, yet which are far from fascinating. fascinat-ing. Have you not known people who, in conversation, had a habit of lifting the eyebrows and lowering them, and who did it frequently. At first it was almost uncanny to see those eyebrows rising and falling, while the eyes grew large and small alternately. "The person who sits and stares at you when you are talking or during pauses in the conversation is the one who does not know how to use the eyes well. Few people have eyes of the same size, and when they sit and 6tare at you they display the defects vividly. Have you not seen a strained too wide awake look in a woman's face while she leaned forward and with bated breath listened and stared. And have you not noticed how, all the time, I one eye was wider open than the oth- f er, and how the defect was brought I cruelly to light by this staring oper- i ation? I j Abuses of the Eyes. - I "Then there is the person who has j handsome eyes, but who frowns. An- other is the girl with good eyes who j squints. Still another is the girl with j good eyes who has a habit of making grimance8 with them, j "Lifting one eyebrow, drawing down one eye, closing one lid, winking. ' screwing up one eye, until It is half closed, all these are little habits that are bad; for once contracted they can-, can-, not be broken, and the result is a per manent disfigurement of the eyes. "Expression is the thing which every ev-ery woman should learn, and .more than that she should learn now to f ! conceal as well as how to show. You I 1 can hide a great deal with your eyes, j just as you can tell a great deal with j I your eyes. ; i "Here are a few things which the ! girl with small eyes must learn. She must realize that all cannot have pret- ty eyes and that the girl whose eyes ' j are not pretty has a beauty lesson be- 1 fore her in the shape of the correct j j management of her eyes.. "The girl whose eyes are small must 1 j learn to use them effectively. If they 1 j ....... i 'l are of the. little winking sort she must study how to control the nerves of the lids so that she need not wink so desperately nor so often. She must strengthen her eyes by lotions and she must get them so that they wink only in a normal manner. This is a hard task for the winking girl to learn and sometimes it requires the services of an oculist before she can acquire the habit of winking just often enough to protect the eyes, but not often enough to be unsightly. "A great many people wink too often. oft-en. They get into the habit of doing so and they cannot break themselves of it. It is like a twitching of the eyes and it gets to be distressing. That it is disfiguring there is little doubt, if you have ever watched a person who winks too much. "The girl with the little eyes should '.earn how to lower them effectively. She should learn how to flash them just a little, and she should learn how to look out of what some one calls the tail of the eye. Using the Eyes Well. "But the girl with small eyes should not try to languish with them. She should remember and keep constantly n mind he thought that her eyes are ot beautiful to look upon, and that vhen she sits in dreamy gaze the sight s not an Inspiring one. It is more pt to look as though she were in the Jumps. "The girl with the big dreamy eyes, on the other hand, can sit and gaze afar and look perfectly beautiful. She can be a Saint Cecelia by simply lifting lift-ing her eyes and looking toward the ceiling, and by lowering them she can look like a Madonna sitting on the walls of an old Italian church. "It is easy for the girl with big dreamy eyes to learn how to use those eyes effectively. But It is the woman with medium sized eyes or the eyes that are undersized who has the task before her. "A beauty specialist recently advertised ad-vertised in London that he could enlarge en-large the size of the eyes, and to him flocked society women in great numbers. num-bers. He took their money and filled his contract They all came away, after a two months' course of treatment, treat-ment, with eyes that were much larger larg-er than before. "But do you know how he did It? He took them in hand and began massaging mas-saging the face. Then he advised a course of diet; and finally he made them take violent physical exercise. All the while he was reducing the cheeks by massage. "As the cheeks became thinner and : the flesh was reduced from the body, the patient became hollow eyed, so to speak, and the eyes grew larger, for there is no doubt that the lids and the brows do fatten with the rest of the face. "The question of bags under the eyes is another matter entirely. , Bags are produced by many causes. Probably Prob-ably the most frequent cause of bags under theeyes is dissipation. People who work nights usualy have tnese eye sacs, and those who must read late at night have them, as well as those who dissipate, "But it often happens that persons, especially women, have the eye sac when they do not work at night, nor read late, nor yet dissipate. In this case it is almost always due to a disordered dis-ordered organism, and often the sacs are directly traceable to kidney trouble trou-ble of some sort, which will give the eye sac. "It is a mistake for the girl whose eyes are small to try to make them expressive by placing shadows under them. The pencil shows plainly, and, In the day time at least, it Is not considered con-sidered refined. Besides, for permanent perma-nent use there must be something that will not wear off. The eyes must be enlarged or deepened by natural methods, not by the use of anything which will come off in the course of an hour or two. "To use the eyes properly and to best advantage a woman must know how to use her head. She must have the trick of lifting the chin until -6he looks at you, not in a slanting way, but with eyes that are on a level with yours. The level look is much prettier than the habit of lifting the eyes, for there are few ses of eyes pretty enough to stand being lifted. "So it is, you see, the way a woman looks at a man. She must be able to 1 use her eyes to their best advantage and to make the most of them. And, , in so doing, she must consider their . color, their shape, their size, their depth, and their degree of expressive-1 expressive-1 ness. For it Is upon all of these things . that the beauty of the eyes rests!" 0 1 Letters From Readers. Girl Reader I am sorry to trouble I you, but I don't know what to do. I wish you would help me. I have hair t on my face and I have tried so many ' different things, but it all comes back : again worse ' than at first I am a young girl and I feel just miserable.

Also to make a small chin more prominent and square. Also Is there any treatment treat-ment that will make a nose more slender and pointed or even to only appear so?

Let your chin and nose alone. As your cheeks get plumper your cnln will grow larger and your nose will seem a better 6hape. Where cheeks are hollow they draw the flesh away from the chin. Mrs. K. Do not try to reduce the size of the bust except by exercise. Walk all you can and take gymnastic exercises. Also diet. Do not apply the lotions or the implements which you mention. Perhaps they may be good, but I do not like to say use them, be cause of the certainly dangerous possibilities. pos-sibilities.

LINES ON CHILDHOOD. "The hills are dearest which our childish child-ish feet Have climbed the earliest, and the streams most sweet Are ever those at which our young lips drank, Stooped to their waters' o'er their grassy bank." Anonymous. There is a plaintive sweetness in the lines quoted above; a subdued yet soul-stirring music, which awakens awak-ens a strain of thoughts at once melancholy mel-ancholy and. delightful. How many a soul smitten by the heavy hand of misfortune or supreme disappointment, finds its solitary consolation con-solation in the thoughts of life's un-darkened un-darkened morning, which come like heavenly dew to the drooping flower, reviving the cherished memories of a time before the stern realities of life destroyed the ideals of the youthful mind. Nothing in. nature can exercise a more delightful influence over the imagination than to put aside, if only for an hour, the comfortless facts of the prosaic present, to live even so briefly amid the sunlit scenes and sinless sin-less pleasures of the childhood past " Verdant indeed are the distant hills which memory pictures to the reminiscent remin-iscent mind; sweet and refreshing the translucent waters of the dancing brooks in which were 'bathed the unpolluted un-polluted lips of innocence and mirth; from which were reflected those buoyant, yet tender emotions which find expression on the face of youth. Unhappy the soul that has outlived out-lived the influence of early feeling, or that lives only in the scentless garden of what is indifferent to the fragrant blossoms of what has been; impoverished impover-ished the spirit into which there does not steal occasionally those little gleams of joy which sparkle like drops of crystal in the sunshine, shedding a lustre chaste and sweet as the soft gleamings of an angel's eye; exhaling incense culled in other days before the best emotions of the soul were frozen by the processes of time, or parched and blasted by some sudden stroke. Some there may be who deem It wasted time to dwell in silent rapture among the treaslured flowers of the distant recollection; some who feel an impulse to rebuke the lusty shout, or spontaneous laughter of the ardent monarch of the play ground or the wood, but more lovable far the temperament tem-perament that grows young again where children are, and salutes from the deepest recesses of the heart. "Blessings on thee, little man, Barefoot boy with cheek of tan. From my heart I give thee joy, I was once a barefoot boy." Infinitely happier the bosom in which there lingers even now a chord responsive to the laughter and the shouts: "Oh for boyhood's painless play, Sleep that wakes in laughing day, Health that mocks the doctor's rules. Knowledge never learned of schools." Somewhere I read of a man whose idea of heaven was childhood renewed and preserved In us by God, through all eternity, and often I have thought that this were heaven indeed: To feel again a mother's yearning love, To hear a father's voice in kindness greet. To clasp a sister gone so long before, In brief to feel fiat I was home once more. True it is: "The hills are dearest which our childish feet Have climbed the earliest, and the streams most sweet Are ever those at which our young lips drank, Stooped to their waters o'er the grassy gras-sy bank."
