Why Women Should Not Cry.

ALL SORTS OF ITEMS

The approach of age shows itself about the eyes. Lines come, faintly at first, then deeper, until the incipient crows' feet are indicated, developed and revealed. The woman who, looking in her glass, sees these fatal lines diverging from the outer corners of her eyes, knows that she has reached an era in her life. She recognises it with a sigh if she be a vain, a lovely, or , a worldly woman ; «with a smile, perhaps, if she has children in whom she , can live her own youth over again. But it can never be a gay smile ; none of us, men or women, like to feel youth— that precious possession — slipping, away from us. But we should never be on the lookout for crows' feet or grey hairs. Looking for them is sure to bring them, for thinking about them brings them. Tears from a part of the language of the eye, which is eloquent enough when sparingly used, and, which should be sparingly used for other reasons than that of adding to their mute eloquence. , Tears are | a disfiguring expression of emotion, and those who get jn the habit of weep ing over every small vexation do much to acquire a careworn, miserable expression, and are sure to look old before their time. Excessive weeping has been known not only to injure but actually destroy the sight. , Few women look pretty or even interesting in tears, though it has long been a pleasant fiction in poetry and romance to suppose that they do. Many women, some men, mosft children, make most disguring and distorting grimaces while crying, and .the lady who thinks she can work upon a man's feelings by a.Jibe^aLdispJay of tears should carefully 'stu3*y a becoming mode of producing them before heir looking-glass. Grimaces soften no heart, and tears, aocompataied'by the usu^'HisfortionsV^hayeJa harb*eriing'effect if not'^visible one.
