No. 229?The Beauty of the Eyes
IP O TT n Vi ft Ka n ?i 11 #<<1 i . _
OU can't be beautiful unless
your eyes are, and If you
want beautiful eyes you must
not cry. No matter what has hap
pened or how badly you feel, do
something else, smash something,
do anything, but don't cry.
I can never forget the lesson
taoght me when I was a little girl
by one of the reigning beauties of
Paris. She was almost at the end
of her beauty, too, but she had a
little daughter of about my age
whom you would remember If I
should mention her name.
I wanted to see this famous beauty
at close range, and persua'ded a
milliner's girl to let me deliver a
hat for her at the beauty's house.
Some bitter disappointment had
made the beauty's little daughter
burst Into tears. Her mother was
furious, shook her and finally spank
ed her until at last she stopped the
tears
"Do you want to bo a homely little
girl?" the mother demanded. "Do
you want to spoil your eyes?"
"But mother,"
the girl pleaded,
"when I feel so
badly I just have
to cry or else
hurt something,"
and she attempt
ed to kick a
kitten that was
playing about.
To my astonish
ment the mother
"If necessary,
put a piece or
gauzo tupped in
boric water on
<iacn eye.
said she preferred that her daugh
ter should kill the little animal rath
er than dim the future sparkle of
her eyes by tears.
No woman can afford to cry and
yet most all of us do it. I am sure
I don't kpow why, unless It is be
cause we enjoy It. Men almost
never cry and yet the? can well
afford to for man, fortunate crea
ture, is not afflicted with the compli
cated, difficult and in the end un
successful task of being beautifu.
To be beautiful the eye should be
long and deep, with a large orbit,
long lashes and silky. These are the
classic laws. They attributed more
energy and ardor to black eyes, more
of 'sweetness and dreaminess to
blue eyes, etc.
The brilliancy of tho eye has much
to do with its beauty. Some Jap
anese eyes, though ill-formed, are
most expressive on account of their
brightness. Spanish arrd Circassian
women, whose eye3 are tapering, too
.close to the nose, are still consid
ered beautiful on account of their
brilliancy.
It is tho pupil, that little circle
through which the rays of light pass
which gives vivacity and brilliancy
to the eye. The most common
method of heightening the effect of
the eye is to blacken the eye-lashes,
but I warn you against this prac
tice which is most harmful and de
stroys the harmony or the eye.
SuJphur of antimony is used for this
purpose, but should be avoided. An
other method, even more dangerous,
is to increase the brilliancy of the
pupil by putting a few drops of co
caine into the eye. It dilates the
pupil, but Is a baneful habit.
The toilet for the eyes is separ
ate from that for the face. They
should not be touched with the towel.
They must above all not come into
contact with toilet waters, soap or
other toilet accessories. Hygiene is
the main consideration where the
eyet are concerned. To wash the
eyes use a special bit of cotton,
asepticised, and then djpped into
boiled water or rose water. Pass
the cotton lightly over the eye-lids
and the corners of the orbit. Rose
water Is a real specific for tired
eyes. Camomile water Is also rec
ommended. But you must be care
ful that these waters are pure and
filtered.
If the eyes are red or Irritated,
wash them frequently In boric water
(a teaspoonful of boric acid to a
glass of water). Use this water
tepid, and, if necessary, put a piece
of gauzo dipped in the water on each
eye. Tie this on with a bandage
and keep it on for some time. <
To avoid inflammation of the
eyes do not work in a half-dark
room, but with a good light, and 'n
the day time. Artificial light, es
pecially electric light, tires the eyes
quickly and congests tho lids. 'Do
not aby^e your eyes or be afraid of
wearing tinted glasses in strong sun
light to protect them frpm tho in

"Wrinkles and crows* feet arc formed chiefly
by overstrain of the eyes.*'
light dinners and
food not too high
ly seasoned. The
pouches which
form under the
eyes are often
symptomatic of
rheumatic condi
tion^ When these
appear avoid all
nlcoholic drinks.
Eat all the vege
tables possible,
tens? reflections of white roads or
water. I also advise that when out
walking that you wear yellowish
maroon veils which protect and rest
the eye. If your eyes feel tired
consult an oculist, and get glasses
which your eyes require.
I want to recommend for inflam
mation of the lids washing the eyes
two >r three times a day with the
following solution, dipping bits of
cotton into this solution and rub
bing lightly over the eyes:
Boiled distilled water, 1 quart.
Cyanide of hyHriodate 1 gramme.
Leaves of sweet marjoram and
barley, with sweet butter makes a
plaster that is excellent for eye-lids.
For Swollen Eye-Lids?If the
eyes are swollen, light massage with
the following is to be. recommended:
Castor Oil 6 grammes.
Vaseline 5 "
Olive oil 5
Tannin 5-10 "
Gallic acid 5-10 "
Rub this in lightly after washing
with rose water. The eyes are
swollen in the morning frequently
when we have not slept well, or
whor. the digestion is not good. Eat
and avoid meats.
To Efface "TVrinkles and CroWs
Feet?As the eyes are so very deli
cate it is well to massage them with
great care. Massage is not only
the sole method of effacing the little
wrinkles which form around trie
eyes, but it also heips tlve muscles
around the eye. Use only the ends
of the fingers for this massage.
Pass around the eye lightly after
spreading some fatty body like this:
Lanolin . 35 grammes*.
Mecca Balsam .... 5
Brouchleri water ..15
Massage twico a day for five
minutes.
These wrinkles and crow's feet
are formed largely by over-strnin of
the eye and the natural protection
from glare by drawing together.
Care will aid in preventing them al
most altogether.
Fatigue and staying up- lato at
night causes darkened eye-lids.
When these begin to appear alter
your mode of liviug. At the same
timo I advise you to \ise cataplasms
of plantains and unctions of oil of
myrtle. Lotions of camomile have
a good effect, and washing with let
tuce water, it is well, too, after the
nightly washing to put a little lano
lin or vaseline under the lojver lid.
One of the best recipes for dark
ened lids is this:
Distilled water ....500 grammes/1
Rosemary tops ... 30
Lot this macerate for fifteen days*
then add
Rose water 15 grammes.
Brandy 15 ..
Wash morning and evening witM
this, dipping bits of cotton In it.
