Show HE beauty of tho oyes depends upon so many things that it Is scarcely fair to credit tho eye itself with being beautiful. Big eyei, for Instance aro not in themselves them-selves beautiful; they may bo actually ugly if they ctand out from tho faco In tho manner popularly designated , "pop-eyed " Tho samo eyes in an-othor an-othor head, whore tho bony structuro is different, might bo very beautiful. It all depends upon tho shapo of tho lids, tho slzo of tho eye-socket, and tho contour of tho cheek-bono below the eyo Itsolf. On the dellcato shapo of tho lids, their width of opening, and so on. deponds tho expression of : tho eye. Therefore as so much depends on tho shape of tho lids the greatost pos-slblo pos-slblo care should j bo taken, as jouth passes, to preserve this lino. Ago shows in tho oyes when a slight puin-ness puin-ness begins to reveal itself in tho lids especially in tho upper lid. Swollen eyes may como from lack of sleep. If your oyes look puffy anil sm-illnr than usual, von mav not notlco it in your mirror but will sigh to joursolf: "How old I am gotting!" Try a- night or two of long, sweet sleop and sco what a difference it will mako with our eyes. Tho "beauty" sleop that comes botween nlno o'clock and midnight Is most of all a bcautlflcr for tho ayes, which aro thus spared straining thcmsolvcs over sowing or printed pages by artificial light. Puffy eyelids aboo tho eyes may como from a gouty condition of tho systom. If your upper lids soqm to overhang tho "bow of beauty" in a swollen or puffy manner and you aro sure you aro taking plonty of bleep try dlotlng a woek or so. Abstain from sweets and from all rod meats. Eat plenty of fruit (except strawberries) and drink plenty. of itcr. If not well established, estab-lished, tho gouty condition will bo driven away and your oyes will look youngor forthwith. But should tho 3 puffy and swollon condition bo under tho eyes, in tho lower lid, hesitato not about consulting a doctor, for puffl- 4 I f f Scragjrj ejebrows bpoll any face Keep them smooth with a special ejebrow brush. ncss bolow tho eyes Is often indicative of serious kidney trouble. Next to tho shapo of tho lids, tho luster of tho eyes proves their claim upon youth. Dim and faded cyc3 aro tokens of ago, though sorrow and anxiety somotlmos dim tho oyos of women young enough to havo .still sparkling orbs. Tho great enemy to lustrous ojes is overstrain. Tho great preserver of lustrous eyes Is rest, Eyes that work ovory mlnuto their possessor Is awako fado early. Tho fading process Is hastened It close, concentrated work Is dono by artificial light. Cultlvato tho habit of looking off now and thon away from your woik. Look out of a window to tho horizon if you can. If this 13 impossible impos-sible allow your gazo to rest dreamily on tho farthest wall as though It woro looking off to tho horizon. Thero Is nothing llko ordinary salt water to keep tho oyes clear and freo from Inflamed rims. Rcd-rlmmod 'eyes aro hopeless detractors of beauty and It Is a pity that so many womon allow such a condition to go on without with-out doing anj thing to stop it Plonty of sleep, a day or two of rest from closo work, and a dally bath in vory hot water with a pinch of salt, should relievo an ordinary caso of red-rlmmcd lids Boraclc acid will rollovo and strengthen tired and lnlUmcd oyes. and there is nothing llko a boraclc acid bath to mako tho oyes quickly pro-sentablo pro-sentablo after a hard crying spell. Uao a teaspoonf ul of boraclc acid to a half-pint half-pint of warm water and apply to tho eyo with an oje-cup. A good substitute substi-tute for an eje-cup In an emergency Is an ordinary tablespoon. Pour onough boraclc acid solution Into tho spoon to All It brimful. Press tho spoon up against the oo and open and shut tho oyo several times in tho solution. It will not hurt at all and jour oyes will feol rested and relieved. Massago aiound tho oyo should bo given with tho greatest caro and with a feather-light touch. Tho tip of ono iingoi may bo used vory lightly; or better ntlll n Arm i.t ., Mmnl'q hair brush. Tho stroko should bo ovon and should bo carried In ono swoop from tho inner corner of tho oyo out along tho lower lid and then back along tho upper lid to tho noso again.

Tho narrowest narrow-est arched lino lg i0ft at tho centor of tho brows, tho hairs abovo and below be-low bolng shavod closo. Eyebrows meeting over tho noso glvo tho faco a Iiarsh, raascullno look and tho hairs should bo plucked out with tweezers. Tho further tho brows run around toward to-ward tho temples, however, tho larger will tho oyes appear. |
