WHAT THE EYES DENOTE.
One can always trust the grey, full orb that looks clearly out from under lashes long and straight. The grey eye with curling lashes is a certain sign of a frivolous nature ; while & small, oval, brown optic, with flecks of contrasting colour near the pupil, indicates a highly nervous temperament with literary tendencies. This eye is always overshadowed by sadness when in repose, and is such a one as many painters and poets have possessed. Large, liquid black eyes denote a sympathetic nature easily moved, but with no great depth of feeling. Eyes of whatever hue, set ulobb together, tell to the world that their owner is not to be trusted. Beware of the
shifting glance — it threatens danger. A full, dark blue eye is the very tj'pe of houest intention and resolute purpose '■ yet a light watory one betrays a weak, vacillating nature, easily in- ■ fluenced towards good or evil, but more often tending toward the latter rather than the former course. The eye of keen perception and i ruie ability ie tlio deep browu, with !!•> nit'Howness, liut a look on its surf.ico ws of liifji polish. 'Ibis eye , reads )'ou through au'l through, nnd j ib ihe imiex of a nature raiculating, 1 cold and hdid in busim'B" dealing, yet I stauuch and true in its friendships.
