some months interested and amused me.
Previous to this had often whiled away
the time of protracted horse car ride in
noting the variety of noses, ears and chins

people seemed to have simultaneously decid-

But when desire arose within me to
know whether certain characteristics were
denoted by crooked nose or straight one,
/ naturally limited my observations to the
sex whose mental economy was most accessi-

observance of strangers. I ceased to COM

The result of my study is in favor of the
woman with the crooked nose. The Eose
that is so little out of drawing as to still be
an attractive one must partake largely of all
traits, over-balanced on one side or the 9th
er, according to the modification of other
strong tendencies as shown by other feat
ures. Let the subject of this creed no more
sit in ashes, nor have her picture painted as
did one foolish maiden with gauze fan far
over her lower face, since there are compen-
sations in an ugly nose.
The woman with crooked nose is usually
the more fortunate in friendships as she is

or favor; while SO far as personal qualities
and her purse goes, she Is more disposed to
be gracious and liberal and to swim with the
current that is popular.
Yet in emergency, the ugly nose rises to
the occasion with the dignity and prompt
ness at once the delight and terror of her
nearest friends.
In matter of business I have found the
woman with a delicate, straight nose, either
too easily advised by any stronger mind that
happened to be at haRd, or possessed by an
utterly inconsequent tenacity of the first
idea which she grasped upon the matter of
the moment. Showing Of I may 80 phrase
it) an unwise wisdom in such a way as to
save her pence, and lose, eventually her doll
lars. For example: Such nose has been
known to sell valuable lot of stock because
OF an editorial in her tea table paper, despite
the discussions of brothers and lawyers from
the sacrifice.
The crooked nose, especially If backed by
good, straightforward eyes, is apt to be in
fuenced by environment in different way.

they are not proven incompetent. But in

she ia apt to surprise every one by promptly,
even though timidly, taking matters into her
own hands, and after taking good CRY and
quietly thinking out the matters-doine the
very best thing possible. The straight nose,
similarly placed, would walk magniHcently
on to financial disaster, or dissolve all hope
and spirit in the tears which clear the at
mOsphere in which the crooked nose scents
success.
The same nose will be more patient in
planning and awaiting results in life. In
love affairs patient, possibly because its

maiden.
But here comes in the law of compensa-

nose, the lover who loves the eyes above, the
mouth beneath, or the soul In the girl who
bears the ugly feature, may as we'll resign
himself at once to the sweetest bondage
