- . woman my own sex has been the book
most freely open 70 my Perusal. and ecces-
trIc features Of any sort seeming 70 suggest
certain dominant traits In the possessor.
The study Of the characteristics Of the wom-
an with q nose which IL not q thing Of beau
y has for some months interested and
amused me.
Previous 70 this had often whiled the
time Of q protracted horse-caT ride in noting
the variety OF noses, ears and chins that go
10 make up the features Of . csrful Of tbs
general public. or 10 mark the uuAnimity
with which blueeyed or darkeye people
seemed 10 have simultaneously decided 10
20 10 one particular car 10 one particular
suburb.
But when q desire arose within me 10
know whether certain characteristics were
denoted By q crooked nossor q straight one,
InHturally limited my observations 70 the
ser whose mental economy was most -
cessible for study, and dropped the super
hicial observance Of strangers I ceased
70 compare the moss Of women Of fashion
and washer ladies imLartiAlly, and took 10
scanning those countenances more or less
familiar 10 me among my friends and &C.
quaintances.
The result Of my study IL In favor Of the
woman with a crooked nose The nose that
h 20 little out Of drawing As 10 still be an A.
tractiVe one must partake largely Of all
traits, overbalanced on one side or the
other, according 10 the modification Of other
strong tendencies rs shown by other feat
ures.
Let the subject Of this screed no more eft
In ashes, nor have her picture painted as
did one foolish maiden with gsuIe fan far
over her lower face, since there are CON-
pensatIons In an ugly nose.
The woman with q crooked nose 10 usually
the more fortunate in Friendships, as she Il
less likely 70 be scornful Of those less pleas
antly situated than herself, either by fortune
or favor: while, 90 far as personal qualities
and her purse 60, she il more disposed 70
be gracious and liberal and 70 swim with
the current that is popular.
Yet, In emergency, the ugly nose rises 70
the occasion with u dignity and promptness
at once the delight and terror Of her near
est friends.
In matters Of business have found the
woman with delirate, straight nose either
too easily advised by any stronger mind that
happened 10 be NJ hand, or possessed by an
utterly incOnsequent tenAcity Of the first
Idea which she Erasped upon the matter Of
the'moment, showing Of may 50 phrase
itD en- unwise wisdom In such q way as TO
save her pence and lose, eventually, her
dollars. For example: Such G nose has
been known 10 sell valuable lot Of stock
because Of an editorial In her tea-table
paper, despite the discussions Of brothers
and lawyer from the sacrifice.
The crooked nose, especially II backed |
BY good, straightforward eyes, IL apt 20 be |
Influenced by environment In q different |
way. That u, 10 leave stocks and bonds 70 |
her nEtural protectors, while sire has them |
and they are not proven incompetent But |
In the case Of such proof, or n suddenly be- |
reft, she IL aps 10 surprise every one by |
promptly, even though tinidly, taking mat |
tsrs into her own hands, and after taking |
good cry and quietly thinking over the mat |
tsr-dOing the very best thing possible. The |
straight nose, similarly placed, would walk 1
maguincently on TO financial disaster, or
dissolve all hope and spirit In the tears |
which clear the atmosphere In which the /
crooked nose scents success
The same nose will be more patient In |

wearer Is not accustomed 10 the prompt /
capitulatlon Of the lovers Of the Greek nosed
maiden
But here comes in the law Of compensa-
tion. II slow TO conquest IL the crooked |
nose, lover who loves the eyes above, the
mouth beneath or the soul In the girl who
bears the ugly feature may A. well re-
sign himself NJ once ~ the sweet bondage,
and the more irregular the nose the more
useless TO struggle.
The happicst homes within my knowledge
are those Of men whose wives, many Of
them beautiful In every other feature, hare
noses. And of those who are
drifting or already out Of the home harbor,
by legal release or pursuing fame a some
one Of its enticing shapes, I count from
memory, without effect, that unlucky num-
each with 4 nose TO serve ass
sculptor's model

BY taking on her domestic cares in ad-
dltion 10 those which, as . single woman,
she carried, with no injustice TO others, In.
