ThIs argument prevents many "dis-

once when it would be hopeless for
her to give away her heart. The
nose, lips and ears have naturally
been much decorated. The Austria
ll&ns and certain races on the north
west coast of America used to wear
such huge bones in their noses that
they we're forced to keep their mouths
wide open to breathe. In Peru the
iobes OF the ears used to hang G1wn
to the shoulders. e-'
While savages cut the nose ears,
lips and other parts of the frame into
various conventions al desi sns, it is reser-

and American. to attack the really
useful organs. Thus a savage may

proving that he has come to years OF

may have his front teeth knocked out
