| Nothing except wrinkles is so disliked by
the feminine variety as the unexpected ap-
pearance OF long wry hair protruding
from the chin or any part OF the face. They
seem to come without any warning; no pre-
monitory fuzziness, but in night they ar

The first resort when they are discovered is
the scissors. But they grow again, like mush-
rooms after an August rain, all the thicker
and moro bristing after each cutting. Then
comes the reign of the tweezsrs, and, regard
less OK pain, out they must come. But, as In
the case CT gray hairs, they, too, come to the
funeral. Still, such were the only remedies
OF the women of yesterday, and they had to
bear this sign, as well as others, of advancing
age with what courage they could. Poor old
things! you had to put up with such a lot of
trials we escape.

to an electrical physician. Indeed, the fam

and at each visit he removes some half dozen
of the objectionable capillaceous adornments
by the aid of his electric needle. One tiny
puncture at the root OF each hair, one quick
little shock from the battery, and good-by

have more than six or seven hairs removed

Another discovery Of modern study Of
physical development is that there is no need
OF allowing such unsigh.ly disfgurements as
Inoles to continue upon the human face or
body, although persons rarely go to tho
trouble of having any such thing removed
from the body unless on the arms or neck.
Physicians touch the surface of a mole very
lightly with pencil or sharp pointed stick
dipped in Tuning nitric acid When in the
embryo state it requires no more than two
applications to entirely eradicate the deface-
ment, and it is very unwise to await the GER
tain growth of the eIcrescence before having
1t treated.
1t is, perhaps, as we'll not to give here the
strength OF the acid necessary to perform the
operation, for it is a dangerous thing to trifle
with and should be left entirely to the use Of
physicians or surgeons A single drop too
much at time will not only eat away the
mole, but very nice little round hole in tho

Certain small round brown moles are con-
sidered a mark of beauty, and therefore
unless they are as thick as freckles, which
they resemble, it is not worth while to
tanper with them Especially should one
appear on the back Of the neck, it should be
treasured like q ruby, for what says the old
rhyme we learned with our Mother Gooses

how one never likes to look directly at a per-
son who is so afflicted and has not gone at
once about their removal. They grow with
astonishing rapidity and sometimes come in
little groups, which as they grow are suddenly
discovered to have run together and made
one large one.
Getting rid of these is such an easy matter

Frecl1les are looked at in very different
light today than they We're formerly. They
are regarded as beauty, and women go SO
far as to have them painted on in certain
identifying emporiums, where the art of
embarrassing bleaching, calcimining and
painting is carried to a remarkable degree of
perfection, though it must be confessed the
result of their experiments and researches is
art, very evident art. and not nature at all,
