not only at one point but from rom every quarter There is in the first place the greatly intensified light that tint is is characteristic of this season of the year jear ear There is the fact that one spends so much time out of doors without the protection of a roof and that ones one's eyes ees are therefore con con- constantly constantly constantly subjected to this more intense There is is the lure of the water which being natures nature's greatest refractor of the suns sun's rays ras adds greatly to the danger to the eyes Added to this we have the unbroken stretches of burning sandy beach the blinding sun on the tennis court the glare of city streets for those who must be in town and the miles m es upon miles of improved roads encountered in in motoring And is there anything harsher and more trying on the eyes ejes than the uncompromising white of such roads All AU of these combine to put a terrific strain upon the muscles of adjustment the delicate nerves and fibres of the eyes and the sensitive tissues surround- surround ng n them This is often the beginning of f the dreaded the aging wrinkles that can jean spoil ones one's pleasure pl asure over the beneficial physical effects of a summer outing I have known young girls with other other- otherwise otherwise otherwise wise fresh rose rose leaf leaf skins whose eyes strained and lined at the corners belied the fresh beauty of their cheeks It was simply because they had neglected to protect this area around their lovely delicate eyes from the summer sun sun On tho the other hand I have havo known women long past their first prime who have managed to preserve the fresh sweet eyes of youth by following a few simple but scientific protective measures They are the ones who may still stilt after thirty flirty manage manafe mana what I call caU an nn authentic baby stare stare authentic authentic because it has the youth and freshness ac ac- accompanying accompanying ac- ac accompanying companying it The first admonition I would make in inthe inthe the tho interest of the beauty of the eyes is isto isto isto to keep leep them rested The tired eye is the dull eye And who can imagine any lure or charm in in the dull eye Moreover I am going to say jay something rather radical that I have discovered It is that the tired eye influences the whole system Quite frequently when one fancies one is tired throughout it itis itIS its is s only because the eyes are tired Try resting your jour our eyes the next time you jou ou feel completely fagged out at the end of the day and see sec if I am not right rightA A half an hours hour's rest will often bring you back into the pink of condition again ready for whatever may be the next event on the carpet The simplest method that I can rec rec- recommend recommend recommend for resting the eyes eyes and and some some- sometimes sometimes times until they have hn tried it women feel ecI it is so simple as to be quite absurd is is to rest them as much as ns possible by looking at distant objects This is a alesson alesson alesson lesson that is handed down to us from from our own American primitive man for instance Did you ever hear heir of ot an m American t Mme Helena Indian who wore glasses No indeed But why not Because watching the horizon searching for game keeping on the lookout for an enemy he is continually ally all adjusting his vision to long dis dis- distances dis- dis Take a tip from him and seize seize the opportunity afforded you in in the country to let your gaze rove over the broad plains and rolling hills Natures Nature's green greenis is is so 50 restful to the eyes anyway You will find in in it healing and refreshment Next in order for resting and bright bright- brightening brightening brightening ening the eye eje I would recommend some definite eye exercise Those approved by Dr Bates for example who bo is is one of the recognized authorities on eyes Dr Bates holds bolds the revolutionary belief as perhaps j you ou may ma know that the ej eyes es are arc resting best when they arc are in mo mo- motion tion It is is when they cease activity that they become strained lie suggests therefore the following exercises exercises' Sit down before a large square or rectangular or oval object object object-a a big mirror a cabinet a bookshelf bookshelf and and let the eye follow its outline all the way around several times Create for yourself an imaginary fly which is crawling round one side of the room and follow its supposed course Those women who prefer precision to imagination may try this Keeping the the- head in a level position look Up six sue times and then down sue six times Turn the eye as far as you can canto canto canto to the right and then to the left each six times Turn them obliquely right and up up- upward upward upward ward and obliquely left and downward six times and finally obliquely left and up and obliquely right and down Each exercise exercise mind six times but no more lest you overdo It has been a popular belief that to read when riding on trains and street streetcars streetcars streetcars cars is bad for the eyes Dr Bates does not believe this but say says it is is quite all allright allright allright right if one does docs not hold the body too rigid or fight against the motion of the vehicle Let yourself relax he says and sway with the car and you may read as you please while riding without any an harm What is is called caned cupping is a splendid treatment for exhausted eyes This means to cover the eyes with the palms of the hands made into cup shape shut shutting shutting ting out the light entirely The eyes eye can be opened into this restful blackness black black- blackness ness and the cupping may maj last from fifteen minutes to half an hour preferably the latter This at inter Inter- intervals intervals vals als through the day Francis Wilson the well well known known actor is i said to have been able by practicing this and other eye exercises exercises to dispense entirely with the glasses which he i had worn for many years Another simple trick for i keeping the eyes eves rested is L.
