Then the man whispers into her ear"
continued the wise girl, "and tells her that
it was one of her frs, attractions for him;
and that her pretty err, pink as shell,
and Just as perfect in shape, caught his
eye, even before her sweetness of DISPOSE
ton and lveliness of temperament capti
waited him"
More beaux are caught in the rim of
pretty girls ear than ara dreamed of in all
the philosophy of all the girls in the world.
TIE ear to be charming must he pink,
the pinker the better But its color must
not be red must be pure pink the shade
OF the petals of June rose and the lobe
or tip Of the ear must be pinker than the
remainder Of the ear.
Bernhardt. who is an adept at the art
of making themost Of ones personal charms,
has long been in the habit Of delicately
rouging the lobes of her ears. All actresses
do this more or sand last winter in society
there were not Il few women who either
rouged the lobes Of their ears or employed
other articles to make them red.
Those who regard rouge as one Of the
deadly sins can pinch the tips Of the ears
until they glow n crimson pink This
color will gradually fade away and leave
only faint pretty pink. But it makes
the ears burn and this smarting tingling
sensation is extremely unpleasant.
Another method is to touch the tips
of the ears with alcohol, which reddens
them very prettly, giving a color that,
in the case of a delicate skin is lasting,
Those who make a practice Of The pursuit
of beauty will tell you that to redden the
lobes Of the ear properly the ear must first
be touched with cold cream, which is rubbed
into the skin well Then little rouge in
paste form is applied
This D. also rubbed in, and finally the
whole is taken of with bit Of flannel,
but enough will remain to make the ear
looes a pretty pink This is the scientih-
cauy artistic way to do it,
Ears that are dark in color should be
bleached white, and for this there is nothing
else SO good as that homeiest of ancient
blcachcs, soap and water. But there are
ways and WAYS of using soap and water.
Taking 1t for granted that every pair
Of cars is as dainty as possible, the soap
lesson begins with the securing OF good
SOAP. With the aid Of good soap you
can make a special soap.
Take half cake Of your favorite soap
and shave it fine. Better still, powder it.
To powder soap, take bits that are small
and dry. and placing them in little bag,
pound them with a hammer. The left
overs in the soap dish and bathroom are
good for this.
Now place this soap powder in basin
and set il on the stove in double boiler.
Add few drops Of oil. Let it melt and
take it off the stove. Add drop Of oil
of rose gcranium and you will have very
sweet, very fine soap, just the thing for
bleaching.
Ears that protrude are unsightly, and to
remedy them there come little ear caps,
made of strips of muslin. These are tied
tightly over the head and ears SO as TO
hold the ears back fat.
The cap can be easily made at home out
Of narrow strips Of tape or muslin, which
should be fastened together and caught
with stitches. As soon as a skeleton cap
is made it can be slipped on over the head
and tied on top, or under the chin or over
one ear 1t should be fastened either with
q knot, or with safety pins, to hold i firm,
The ear cap can be worn all night with
out inconvenience or injury, but care
should be taken that the drum Of the ear
is not covered. The opening should be left
exposed or the ear will ache.
Protruding ears are generally traceabe
TO infancy, when a child is laid down with
it's ear turned forward. Of course, the
delicate young ear is tender and, if tho
child is laid down frequently in this manner,
the ear is hopeless ly spoiled.
The ear of baby should be laid snugly
back against its head and the child should
be turned in its sleep so that the ear shall
not become numb. Occasionally the child
should DE allowed to sleep on its back, TO
rest the sides of its head.
When q baby is taken out and its cap is
put on, the ears should lie laid back against
It's head, not pressed forward, as is too |
often done with very young child in the
hands of an ignorant nurse
With growL-up people the same rules
should be observed, for the young woman
NAV have her ears deformed by the habit
of sleeping with them pressed into the
pillow or turned forward. Let the ears be
laid in their natural position and be care
full that they are not distorted in the pill
low before morning.
Ii is not difficult to get into the habit of
sleeping correctly. Remember that sleep
ing incorrectly is only habit, and 1t is
one that can easily be broken.
There are many operations for the cor
recton Of deformed ears One OF these,
consists in cutting out wedge-shaped
piece back of the ear. The ear is then
sewed into its new position, and is bound
with plaster.
Within ten days the patient can have
the plaster taken off When the plaster
is removed the ear is found TO lie fiat against
the head, instead of protruding as it for
merry did.
But the cutting Of this skin back Of tho
ear, the taking out of piece OF flesh, the
sewing Of the ear into the right place and
the healing thereof afterward, all make
something Of an operation, and a painful
ono ut that. But, II you want to be beautiful,
YOU must pay thopenalty, which invovesa |
lot Of money and lot of suffering. For |
women who will not do this, there is artitce |
to be employed.
Women who have large ears should not |
colI attention to them The girl with |
small ears, shaped like the traditional |
shell, and as pink IA II peony, can set a
rose behind her ear and look pretty.
But not SO the girl with the big ears. |
When she sets n rose behind her ear she |
Gnd- that the rose is nearly hidden by her |
enr md. when she looks al herself in the |
glass. she sces that the rose, instead of !
Setting of her natural grace, only calls |
attention to that awful ear.
