Care of the Eyes

The conditions under which we live to-day produces such an atmosphere of strain that the modern girl’s eyes are .very easily tired. Artificial m brighter, too, and we use it so much more in the daytime than we did.

All this means that the eyes are constantly wanting attention if they are not to look sunken and weary. No matter how beautiful the complexion may bo, a girl’s appearance is marred at once if her eyes look tired, just as it is improved immensely if they ar« bright and woll cared for. Every girl who spends much time in fine sewing should make a point of bathing her eyes at least two evenings a week with boracic lotion to prevent their taking on that tired, sunken appearance. Before going to a dance, too, the eyes can bo brightened considerably by a boracic bath. Tho lotion takes not a minute to prepare. Just put a teaspoonful of boracic crystals into a tumbler of warm water and let them dissolve. By that time the lotion will be cool enough to use.

Bathe with a wad of clean cotton wool, and to get the full benefit of tho lotion, ono of the small glass eye baths ought to be used. With this the liquid can be thrown right into the ©ye.

If the eyes ache constantly, or there are headaches from eye strain, great relief is afforded by bathing them night and morning with tne boracic lotion.
