 The nose is the most prominent feat ure tn the tace, and IS more faithful in- dication of the character than is gener- ally supposed. In dress, it gives the key note to the whole structure by its size or shape. Every woman is. or ought to be, cathedral" says poet ofyesserday, and NJ. Blanc also compares dress to . kind of architecture, throughout which a primary idea should be consistently car ned. and no mingling of ssyle allowed.
 When a woman possesses Roman nose she must be extremely careful as to her style of head-gear and haiF-dressing. Neither must be inadequately small If the wezrer of the Roman nose fall into this error, that useful orgen will look larger than ever. Our aristocracy are given to large noses The air of palaces seems to be favorable to the develop ment of that salient feature, and, were there to be nc ss<saLi0sees. the high bred type of nose would soon reach very terrific size indeed. always look on the bright side of things, and when hear of a man of gentle birth marrying a barmaid. or of modern Copetua and a beggar maid, always bethink me of the probable modification of the lordly noses of the next generation. With a Greek nose woman may wear almost anything. She will be sure to have a taste to divine what will is suitable and becoming. and grace enough to put il on straight-an accomplishment more rare than might be thought. But, alas, CrNAt pnsaS ar> not a~a <fIx- th caek- ion. Our national taste has proved de- generate, and our tickle fancy has turned to the 1es yefyossse, which has even found its way into the poets. "Tip-titled like hower," says our Laureate of such a nose. If the cogitative nose appear in full development on a woman's face, she will probably be strong-minded and ut- terly careless of chffoa5. if not ot her own looks. Of the Jewish nose the same observations are true as with regard to the Roman nose; that is when the nose is large. occasionally-though very ire quently-this nose Is very beautifully formed. and not too large for our mod ern notions of feminine lovliness. Itmay then be treated as l have suggested in re- marking on the Greek variety.
 The turn-up nose may be adorable. or ii may be trial. Much depends on it's complexion much on the precise degree of upward curve. This curve should be similar 10 those at the corners Of the lips. and when il IS, what a piquant harmony is the result, Oh, lucky girl with such a nose. what queen of hearts you may be. Add but the instinct of coquettry to the owner of this nose, and you have creature as dangerous as Helen to the peace of man. It must be a shaky fieshy, fabby thing curt decision and space of dainty self-asseuion must characterize it. It was such an ideal nose that inspired the following senti- ments We confess lurking penchant, sort of sneaklng affection which we can not resist, for the celestial nose in woman It does not command cur -ad-- mira,ion and respect like the Greek, to which we could bow down as to a god dess. but 1t makes sad work with our af- feetions. The snub, too. is not so un- bearable as in a man. It Is great mar Ter of beauty, undoubtedly. but merely regarded as an index of weakness. it claims our kindly consideration. A woman. moreover, has generally tact sufficient to conceal tof,en to their entire annihilationl those unpreposessing char aoteris,ics of the snub and the celestial. which in weak man become every day more and more strongly marked. 4 ce- lessial nose in woman IS frequently an index of wit" And this, be it remem- bered, was written long before the apoth- eosis of the turned-up nose.
 And what style of architecture are we to construct our dust upon? ask the owners of such noses. Anything coquet- tish and airy, frivolous and quaint. Sc were simplicity eoosorts not with the snub.
