The eyes of the ravlsh Ingly beautiful young woman are made up of the same material, put together in the same way, as ours. What we commonly speak of as the expression of a person's eyes doesn't come from the eye at all. It Is produced by that part of the face surrounding the eye, which itself always retains the same ex pression. When we think that we see a twinkle In a person's eye, we see merely an effect produced by the action of the little muscles surrounding the eye. The eye It self doesn't twinkle. Mechanically the eye Is the most delicate and complicated or ganism In existence. If man could fashion anything nearly so per fect, anything that would work so automatically as the eye. It would be a splendid triumph. For the organ Is absolutely automatic. When the brain wishes to see any thing the many muscles of the eye carry out that wish at once. IVe never recommend Glasses unless absolutely necessary. If your eyes require the services of a physician we frankly tell you THOMPSON EYESIGHT SPECIALIST 5th Sd FLOOR CORBETT BLUG, A3VD MORRISON.
