CARE FOR YOUR EYES

Every woman should have some knowledge of the everyday treat- ment of the eyes, for, the preserva- tion of good sight is a very im portant matter.

Beautiful eyes are those which are full, clear. and brilliant, with eyelashes and eyebrows well grown and well shaped.

To keep the eyes healthy, wash them daily with clean cold water, and as far as possible avoid fric- tion pressure exposure to dust. vivid light, and over-strain. When washing or splashing cold water into the eyes-which is most re- freshing-wipe themi with the utmost

care afterwards, and re- member that strong soaps are in- Jurious. Nor should rough towels be used, as they irritate the eyes, and hasten the time when glasses will be needed

Eyebrows should "never" be cut, but after washing the face the *fingers should be passed over them to smooth and set the hairs in their places. Eyelashes also must not be cut, but a little olive oil used on them at night may prove the length and general ap. pearance.
