 The Perfect Nose Is Rare Indeed.
BY DIANE DE moRNY.


 The most perfectly modelled nose is a trial. if it has the habit of getting spot ty. or turning red, with or without ap parent provocatlon. I do not know of anything more vexhtious to womankind than a red, blotchy or shining nose. Usually although it is difficult to im- press the fact upon the afflicted woman, red or blotchy noses are the result of some excess or carelessness. often az gravated until there is a well-defined ma1ady which must be cured before the blush will fade or the eruption dlsap- pear Acidity of the stomach, indiges- tion. dyspepsia, poor circulation. all mean more or less congestion. and ire quently the blotchy or fiery nose Is the outward sign of an inward stomach de- engagement. Acidity of the stomach is very disagreeable to bear, and destruct- i've in its-effects upon the complexion. In its early stages it may often be con trolled by the following
 Simple Remedies.
 Half teaspoonful of sulphate of soda. Dissolve in half a tumbier of boiling hot water; drink as hot as you can one hour before breakfast; repeat the dose in thirty minutes.
 Pure water, drunk as hot as possible, several glasses a day, will often, without medicine at all cure this form of indi- gestion. Tight laeing-tight clothing of any kind-any stricture, in fact, will sometimes produce red or blotchy nose, and it seems superfluous to advise an inch or two to the waist measure, or looser shoes to the sufferer. Local irri- tation will also cause unframed nOstrils. and, of course, the influenza, rose fever, and that hideous epidemic called hay fever have their accompaniment of weep f..d I l N11av fAf climate. 1t is conceded Is the only es- cape from this yearly martyrdom, but have seen wonderful effects produced in cases of chronic rose and hay fever by the use of compound oxygen, taken through carafe or carbolated water
 Sometimes intense itching of the nose is caused by internal trouble, which, ac- cording to Dr. Augagnem, well-known French dermatologist, may frequently be cured by the following:
 Syrup for Richness and Itching of the Skin.
 Phenic acid (crystals)-Five grammes.
 Pure glycerine-enough to dissolve.
 Syrup of orange peel-Four hundred grammes.
 Dose for an adult. one teaspoonful twice daily.
 This same prescription with the phe- nic acid diminished to three grammes, is. according to Augagnem, excellent for pruritus, or eczema in children.
 Let my readers who are troubled with poor circulation and red noses try the following most successful and agreeable treatment. It consists of what the French call an aromatic bath--with mas sage after
 For Aromatic Bath.
 Rosemary tops-1000 grammes.
 Boiling water-10 quarts.
 Bicarbonate of soda-s50 grammes.
 Make an infusion of the leaves and boil dng water; let stand half an hour; strain; add the soda, and pour all into the warm water prepared for the bath. This bath is 8 calamative. It should be taken warm
 shiny. oily noses may be often cured by bathing the entire face daily with weak solution of soda water Use com mon washing soda-a bit about the size of q Albert to say a quart of warm water. The circulation is always at fault in these cases, and sensible women who have troublesome noses are asked to take plenty of fresh air and exercise and es chew all highly -spieed food Use your scrubbing brushes on refractory noses. It will make them redder for a few days, bud it will help in their cure finally.
 Possibility of Reshaping Nose.
 I have received a letter from a reader of he"Beauty Talks" which it is perti- alent to refer to- She says: "I am very good looking woman, or should be. but about fifteen years ago, when I was d, lit-
 
 broke my nose-it was not properly set, and it is now almost a deformity. I am assured it can be made straight. but I would like you to tell me honestly If you think it really can be made over into n nice nose" 1 certainly do, for I have seen the operation performed but for all such operations you should carefully se- lect an expert surgeon Consult your family physician, who will very likely tell you to let we'll enough alone--nsist ttrr1, ttr,t1 fa c straight as it can be made, and get him ao tell you the name of the most skillful surgeon within your reach. Crooked noses can unquestfonably be made straight even after maturity, and in early childhood. owing to the soft nature of the cartridges that form the nostrils, the shape of the lower part of the nose may be much improved by daily gentle press ure.
 Rarity of Perfect Nose
 A beautiful nose Is the greatst possi- ble ornament to the face of woman, and so rare that it exctes the admira- tion at once. Lavater, the physiogo- mist, declared that there were thou sands of beautiful eyes to one handsome nose. It is a somewhat singular fact that only about three in every hundred noses are to be found where they belorg-in the middle of the face; the ninety-seven will digress from the perpendicular line which the bridge should form from a straight line drawn exactly between the the eyes The Greek nose, which Is the most beautiful is so rare that artists have frequently looked in vain for a Greek-nosed model
 An Amusing Experience.
 l was crossing the ocean some years ago and could not but remark the curl ous manner In which one of the passen- gers appeared to follow a lady acquain- tance who sat near me at the table. The man was finally presented to me as Mir Blank, distinguished foreign painter About forty seconds after he had been introduced to me he said: Madame could you present me to your friend. I have never seen such nose on a wom- ans face. I would give year of my life for model with such nose. I have not been able to take my eyes from madame's face since she came on board the ship"
 It was true; the lady did have a beau tiful Greek nose and the strangers pecul- liar manner arose from the ardor of the artist who had never before, he assured us seen perfect nose of Greek form. presented the painter to the lady, and the remainder of the voyage he amused us all Inv hist pyidarf adO,-aficp of fha ,oarfaot
