WOMEN'S ODD EYE.

''. ' LATEST SOCIETY FAD. ; " • ']. Many London society women are now cultivating odd eyes. The idea is to have [ one eye presenting a different effeet from p the other. The latest artifice of cosmetics , produces that differenco by solutions and j distillations. The odd eye is already quite a cult. Men who are not up-to-date in this matter aro still being trapped into P giving tho wrong reply to 6ome smart ac- . qnaintance who inquires if any ■ difference is opparent between her two eyes, An ' affirmative answer is now eagerly awaited \ and demanded by courtesy, Tho old idea that eyes chould "pair" has. quite gone out. One trick is to dye tho odd eye so that it'shall match ono s costume. Drops of prepared matter are poured into it so 9 that it turns the requisite colour. Mean- \ while the normal quality of the other \ eyo naturally becomes more noticeable,; f and tho whole expression is given an '• eccentricity wjiich' baffles the first obser- « vafcion, and so excites a closer analysis. " Another trick, of this, cosmetics is to 1 'dilate the pupil- of tho odd eye or to im--9 part to it a superficial sparkle. Some J women are even practising tho moderate 1 squint. Oculists are unanimous in saying " that the now craze for the odd eye is extremely bad for sight.
