In his study of this subject MIR. Robinson
led to make series of measurements of
the skulls in the British Museum. from which
curious fact discovered. The hollow cham
ber in the upper jawbone of the small nosed and
fiat faced races is larger than i'm the large
nosed Caueasians. Papuans and American abo-
rhymes. Thus it would appear that. while the
"cheekbone voice" may be sufficient for con-
versationaI purposes. the nose voice" is essen
tial for OTatOry.
Although the patrician nose is 10 great
extent an inheritance. it is also a product of
individual culture. Mr.. Robinson thinks. He
says:
This fact is due To a close association which
exists between certain muscles attached TO the
mere flexible parts of the nose and those in the
immediate neighbOThO0d. AS pointed out
in a previous article on Facial Expression
nowhere is the lasting mark of dominant mental
habits more plainly seen than in the muscles
about the mouth. They are continually in ac-
ton when We exercise the will-either in self
control or in attempts to control other men or
thngS-and every time they come into play they
give a chastenins tug at noses.
ANY prove this by direct experiment,
for il is only needful To- tighten the lips firmly
in order To render somewhat celestial nose

When this action Of the mouth muscles is
habitual. as is the case with those we'll bred
folk who habitually conceal control their
emotions. or with those in authority, or who are
naturally of a masteTful temper. such changes
in the shape of the nose tend To become peTma-
nent.
Finally il may be said that for the main
tenance Of a patrician nose at its best well
balanced mind Is almost as necessary as care
funess in outward behavior. Its chastity of
tint and outline is endangered. not only by high
living and low thinking. but also by the habitual
and unrestraincd Indulgence Of emotions gen

yacht races. Mr.. Eicho.s has been an
ardent lover, and it is stated by his
close friends that the wedding will
take place some time this year, and
that the engagement will be formally
announced as soon as the date of the
marriage is settled.
Miss Sartoris is tall, graceful
brunette, and bears little resem-
blance to the Grant family. She has
been a belle of two capitals, London
and Washington, and has counted her
admirers by the score. 1t is sub
feet of much congratulation to her
family that she has chosen an Amer

Mrs. U. S. Grant, is especially well
pleased, as it was great grief when
her daughter married an Englishman.

KIowA BRIDE AND GROOM.

since, where Af-poo-dle, a Kiowa boy
some sister with whom an old Indian
was in love. The Indian visited the
school and was most solicitous in his
attentions to Af-poo-dle, giving him
many attractive presents, such as
beads and brass jewelry, that APP
pealed to his vanity. When Af-poo-dle
inquired of the donor what present
willy old Indian unhesitatingly re-
piled: Give me your sister, Ti-i-ti,
for squaw; me heapee rich; heapee
good brave" The boy promised. He
was the only son, and his word was
law in the wiPwam. Accordingly a
few weeks later the Indian led Ti-i-ti
to his tepee to be his squaw. This
was cold-blooded transaction, as is
usually the case when women are
sold.
The second way is more romantic
and more in accord with the civilized
fashion. In this case the love-siclt
swain gets his sister to see the young
squaw he admires and to arrange a
clandestine meeting. If his affection
be returned the squaw keeps her APP
pointment, and he happily leads her
to his wigwam, for a clandestine
meeting constitutes marriage with
these semisavages.
The third and least practiced way

paints in many colors his best steed,
and, like a conquering Alexander,
rides proudly in front of the tepee
where his adored is engaged in some
menial task. He slackens pace as he
nears the wigwam and endeavors to
put his soul into his eyes as he re-
CARDS her. She timidly bushes as she
gazes upon the handsome brave, and
her eyes droop. That is sufficient an
swer for him. That night, after all
have retired, he takes his flute, goes
near her wigwam and pours out
few doleful notes to express his
hearts yearning. Size comes out to
him, and beneath the midnight stars
they plight their faith. Then she is

POSING FOR PICTURES.
Wear When Really Good Pho
toEraph Is Desired.

Photography as an art has attained
such standard of excellence that no
pains are too infinite to enhance its eff
fectiveness. While the prihary OBJ
ject in any likeness, is to portray the
features, the pose, the individual, yet
it cannot be gainsaid that much of our
pleasure in viewing the countenance.
however perfectly depicted, may be
seriously marred by the III happy selec-
tion of an unbecoming gown.
1t is a mistake to wear ones richest
and most sumptuous costume instead
of one whose design, being less pro-
nounced, is, consequently, less apt to
look grotesque a few seasons hence.
Certain materials are risky, to say the
least, in photograph. Satins or silks
with high luster throw lights and
shadows which are harsh and uneNpect-
ed in reproduction. Translucent fab
rics are by far to be preferred. Softly
folding, easily draped, and not pro-
nounced are crepes either silk or wool,
and chiffon. Tulle, nets and such lace
like transparent effects depend so
much upon the materials which are
used as foundations that, in a general
way, they are to be considered as Sec
ondary in Importance, although as dra-
peries they may be styled par excel
lence. Stiff, starchy effects are to be
strictly tabooed unless it be the trans
lucence of swiss or organdie.
Stripes and large patterns in lace
or silk are failures, big brocades or
plaids something to make one weep
especially the photographer who fore
sees demand for second sittings when
the proofs are shown. Velvet and fine
furs are especially happy selections,
and such accessories as handsome op-
era cloak or long ostrich fan are
deemed happy adjuncts with full
dress.
Gloves should always be worn with
street toilets which include hat, but
since glace glove would be shiny, one
of undressed kid is far better. With
very light colors the hand should al
ways be lifted or placed against a
background darker than itself since
the pink dress will naturally take dark
er than the light fabric
Jewelry adds much to an evening
dress, especially in the way of orna-
ments about the top of low-cut cor
sage. Pearls photograph exquisitely in
made-up jewelry, in necklaces or in
long chains which may be brought up
and knotted once or festooned from a
single ornament in front of the COR
sa9e.-St. Louis be-Democrat.

CARE OF THE HAIR.
Morning and Evening Duties which
Should, Under No circumstance,
BE Neglected.

IN the morning separate the hair
lock by lock and comb it from the
ends up toward the roots with shell
comb, coarse and with teeth set far
apart. This method of Discriminating
the hair prevents it from getting into
knots and breaking.
When it is thoroughly disentangled
brush it vigorously with a rather
hard brush from the roots down,
brushing till the hair shines.
To disentangle the hair, as we'll as
to brush it, you should not attack a
mass of hair and brush it at hap
hazard. The hair must be brushed
and combed strand by strand, and
this continued all around the head.
At night. before going to bed, let
the hair fall loose, shake it thorough
ly, then brush it and braid it.
Nothing is worse for the hair than
to leave it hanging loose when one
is in bed. 1t should be divided into
several strands, braided, and then let
fall, or else neatly twisted at the
nape of the neck.
This permits the air to penetrate
the hair, and at the same time pre-
vents it from breaking. The hair
should be left as unencumbered as
possible and should not be overloaded
with pins or ornaments that are too
heavy.-Chicago American.

INDIAN LOVE-MAKING.
Strange Marriage Customs Prevail
Among the INiowns. One of the
semi-Savage Tribes.

The Kiowa Indians have queer mar
riage customs. There are three ways
of getting married among these semi
savage redskins. The first and most
commonly practiced way of securing
a wife is buying her outright, or trad
ing for her as if she were a horse or
COW. AS is common among most
heather tribes where woman is con-
sidered mere toy or slave, she is not
consulted, but must be ready to fill
any contract that her father or
brother sees fit to make.
