- If you're not quite sure what sort of a person you are, take a ·look in the mirror. The answer? The eyes have it! It may be true that you can't judge a book by its covier, but some psychologists judge character by studying the shape of the eyes. According to theory, if you have round ey;es you are probably innocent and trusting, affectionate, likeable, and as unsophisticated a1 a kitten. If your eyes are oval-shaped and wide, this theory says, you are not so easily fooled, but you are temperamental, emotional, poetic, a dreamer, and an idealist. Those whose mirrors reflect long, slanted eyes are declared to be secretive, clever without possessing great brilliance, sensitive to personal hurts, but unsympathetic and cold in their treatment of others. If you have large, protruding eyes, you may be a rather bombastic person. You are probably suffering from extremes of generosity and selfishness, and are strongly opinionated, strong in your likes and dislikes. Your emotions are supposed to be coated with frost if your ie-yes are small, oval, and piercing. But don't let that bother you, because according to some psychologists, you are quick-witted, keen-minded, and even tempered. Persons with extremely scientific minds, it is claimed, usually have dee-p-set or closely-spaced eyes. Those who possess creative or artistic minds are supposed to have eyes that are rather far apart and wide. Psychologists pay small attention to the colour of the eye's iris 'as an index to character, but here are some legendary "facts" for you to remember or forget: Grey eyes: depth of character and of feeling; reserve. Blue eyes: honesty; humour. Brown eyes: tenderness; warmth of feeling. Hazel eyes: versatility; amiability. Green eyes: daring; courage; gaiety.-Margaret Mo.4.naa in Des Moines Register. JUNE, 1939 45
