BRIGHT EYES

The conditions under which we live to-day produce such an atmosphere of strain that the modern girl's eyes' ar e very easily tired. Artificial light is 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 be, a girl's appearance is marred at once if her eyes look tired, just as it is improved immeasurably if they are bright and well 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 them taking on that tired, sunken appearance.

Before going-to a dance, too, the eyes can be brightened considerably by a boracic bath. The 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 COOI enough to use. Bathe with a wad of clean cotton wool, and to get the full benefit of the lotion, one of the small glass eye baths ought to be used. With this the liquid can be thrown right into the eye. If the eyes ache constantly, or there are headaches from eye-strain, great relief is afforded by bathing them night and morning with the boracic lotion.
