A womans eyebrows and nose, says the
New York Sun, come in for their share of
attention nowadays. In these enlighten-
ed times careful mothers begin in baby
hood to set their children Alright and in
no particular are they more uniformly
successful than in training and shaping
the eyebrows and nose. A woman who
makes a speciality of these features says:
Mothers are largely responsible for the
numberlesS misshapen noses and scraggy,
irregular eyebrows seen in grown-up peo-
pie to-day. If they had done their duty
during the infancy and early childhood of
their children 1 would have much less
strouble in my profession, and my clients,
their neglected children, would not be
mortified by such blemishes
when child's nose is too thick at the
end or the nostrls have a tendency to
stand open, it may easily be shaped by
simply pressing with the fingers. This
should be done at least three times day
and for ten minutes each time. If the
child is past infancy and has healthy
lungs, beside pressing with the fingers, a
little instrument especially prepared for
such cases should be worn at night. 1t
gives no pain and interferes very little
with the breathing When the nose is too
thin or gives promise of being insignifi-
cant in size massage three times a day or
as often as convenient is the only treat
ment necessary. If the nose is deficient at
saged and the movement be circular, but
if the whole nose is understood 1t should
be rubbed from the very roots. The tips
of the fingers should be used and the pres
sure should be firm, though not sufficient
to cause the slightest Inconvenience.
IF the nose is turned up it should be
rubbed down. Take the first three fling
ers with the middle finger on top and the
first and third finger on either side, and,
beginning at the bridge of the nose, rub
down, increasing the pressure at the end.
This simple treatment, if persisted in,
will fatten and reshape the most pro-
nounced turned-up nose. Of course il is
best to begin in infancy; but when an
adult wishes to work a change in her tip
tilted organ, the process may be FASTENED
by the use of a harmless instrument to be
worn at night, or during the day, when
possible. If the nose is naturally crook
ed, that is, twisted to one side or the other.
it needs only to be rubbed in the right di-
rection if the person is still young But
after person has reached maturity such
a deformity can only be remedied by the
use of the knife. The operation is sure
and by no means painful. OF course
where crookedness is caused by an acct
dent, the effect is more serious, and a
change of shape should only be at
tempted by a skilled surgeon.
Women often bring their children To
me for the purpose of having their noses
trained in a certain shape. Not long ago
an old customer brought in a pretty baby
boy of six months, and informed me that
she wished his nose treated and one
of decided Roman shape insured. The
child had just the face to which a Roman
nose would be the most unbecoming mag
inable and 1 told her so. But She insist
ed, saying that the baby's mother. who
was her own sister, had faith in the sue
cess Of persons with Roman noses. ana
had determined that her child should have
one. Now the child comes for daily mas
