This is also rubbed in, and, finally,
the whole is taken off with a bit of
flannel, but enough will remain to
make the ear 1obes a pretty pink. This
is the scientifically 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 homeliest
of ancient bleaches, soap and water.
But there are ways and ways. of using
soap and water.
Taking it for granted that every pair
of ears is as dainty as possible. the
soap lesson begins with the securing
of a good soap. With the aid of good
soap you can make a special soap.
Take a 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 a little bag, pound them with
a hammer. The leftovers in the soap
dish and bathroom are good for this.
Now place this soap powder in ba-
sin and set it on the stove in a double
boiler. Add a few drops of oil. Let
it melt and take it off the stove. Add
will have a 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 fiat.
The cap can be easily made at home
out of narrow strips of tape or mus
lin. which should be fastened together
and caught with stitches. AS soon as
skeleton cap is made it can be slip
ped on over the head and tied on top,
or under the chin or over one ear. II
should be fastened either with a knot
or with safety pins, to hold it firm.
The ear cap can be worn all night
without 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 trace

quently in this manner, the ear is
hopelessly spoiled.
The ear of a baby should be laid
snugly back against it's head and the
child should be turned in it's sleep so
that the ear shall not become numb.
Occasionally the child should be allow
ed to sleep on its back, to rest the
sides Of its head.
When baby is taken out and its cap
is put on, the ears should be laid
back against its head not pressed for
ward, as is too often done with a very
young child in the hands of an ignorant
nurse.
With grown-up people the same rules
should be observed, for the young wom-
an may 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 posi-
ton and be careful that they are not
distorted in the pillow before morning.
1t is not difficult to get into the habit
of sleeping correctly. Remember that
sleeping incorrectly is only a habit, and
II is one that can easily be broken.
There are many operations for the
correction Of deformed ears. One Of
these, consists in cutting out a wedge
shaped piece back of the ear. The ear
is then sewed into its new position, and
