RED NOSES.
How Women Nay Avoid a Painful
Disagreement.

ish to an otherwise pleasing face is a
red nose. And unfortunately it is gem
orally supposed that a face illumi-
mated in this manner can mean but
one thing, in either ''our visions of
beauty or the sex who pretend to
scorn any personal interest on the sub
ject of personal beauty. Champagne
and late suppers undoubtedly do dis
turb the chiaro-oscuro of the face Qf
one apply that word to the face)r
but a red nose is often the result OF
not giving ourselves proper care in
u daily habits.
We are supposed to be a clearly
race. and we could not insult our
lovely girls and beautiful m%atrons
more than to tell them that the red
nose, the blue, shrivelled skin, is not
caused by the wintry wind, but.that
the wind betrays the fact that the
daily bath is not what it should be-;
that there is an INSTRUCTED arterial ac-
ton, and that through carelessness
or ignorance the system in general is
not performing it's daily functions in
the name intended by mother ma
ture.
Cold weather has a tendency to,
contract or close the pores of the skin.
Consequently the morning bath-and
a cold one-is much essential in
winter than in summer. A quick,
cold bath, from head to foot, using
flesh brush and coarse towels vigor-
ously, not allowing yourself time
enough to take cold, produces the
most delightful sensation, even if you

Gus exercise and the short time al
lowed-not more than four minutes
is a protection against taking cold,
and defies any evil effect from climate
or cold winds through the day.
A red nose or red hands may be
caused by lacing. OF may be the result
of organic impurities of the stomach.
1t is we'll for any one, whether con-
scious of ~''disofdered liver" or not, to
resort to a purifying process OCCASION
ally. A most excellent thing to absorb
the impurities of the stomach is pow
dered charcoal. Charcoal should be
taken with some mild cathartic. A
lady noted for her beautiful complex
ion, about once in six weeks-soIne-
times oftener-takes a teaspoonful of
charcoal for three mornings, and fol
lows it up with a teaspoonful of
sulphur and cream of tartar. equal

Flowers for the White House.
Whether a reception is to be held or
a State dinner given, the reception
rooms of the White House must be
decorated, and it is for this special
purpose that two greenhouses, each
100 feet long, situated neal the Wash
ington Monument, are maintained,
well filed with rare decorative plants,
which by judicious management have
been hardened to endure the climatic
change Inevitable during transporta-
ton to and from the White House.
Even the utmost care in handling
does not prevent considerable loss in
these plants each year, and with ten
acres of greenhouses kept in order by
the Government it is not always that
such losses can be replaced even by
partly hardened plants. To guard
against damage in inclement weather
large two and four-horse omnibuses
are used to move the plants, which
are generally conveyed by the largest
express wagons in Washington, with

hauled.
The magnitude of this work is diff
cult to describe. A number of trained
mon are many hours in it's accomplish
ment. When the plants are brought
into the East Room they are massed
in the broad window recesses and
about mantels and fireplaces. Pyra-
mids of the richest foliage plants are
built beneath the crystal chandeliers,
which are themselves ornamented
with a hundred or more strings of
smilax. A similar work is done in the
Green, Blue and Red Rooms, and for
state dinners the decorations OF all
these must be eclipsed by that which
is accorded the state dining-room,
which is done finally and with the
greatest care. The plants and flowers
for the state dining-room are from the
White House conservatory and frames
in the immediate vicinity, but not
withstanding the considerable re-
sources, occasional insufficiency has
frequently to be made good by pur-
chases from florists. -LGdies' Home
