The nose Is the index of the face. From
1t more of the character of its owner can
| be learned than from all the other features
| combined.
The Grecian nose which is distinctive
| mark of beauty, indicates high ideals, har-
nony of character and fine mind.
| 1t Is safe. to say that If women could
choose their noses there are few who
would not choose the classic Grecian.
| This type of nose is one that follows a
| perfectly straight line, with precisely de-
| fined outline, and possesses delicately Dor
| dered, free and flexible nostrils. 1t comes
exactly over the center of the upper lip.
Another nose with marked characteristics
is the well-developed Roman nose 1t be-

wit. satire and sarcasm, but not of great
good humor.
The nose that comes very near being q
Roman, and just enough not to be a Gre
clan, has the characteristics of both, and
denotes that one is not only of an artistic
temperament, but clever well.
The partially developed Roman nose Is
something of a puritanical nose. The wo
man possessing it will make a perfect wife,
and when she is married, they will say of
her:
"On one she smiled, and he was best"
The Tip Tilted.
The celestial nose-the nose Of Lady
Teazle-is the saucy tip-tilted member, and
the owner is coquette from the rose in
her hair to the buckles on her shoes. There
is not motion of her figure that is not
intended to captivate, and the nose is sim

variation of this type also gives a
piquant fascinating expression to the face.
1t is a quiZZical nose beyond doubt. 1t
does not believe in the sincerity of man.
1t delights in poking fun at his follies, and
owns to some follies Of its own.
A round nose denotes magnanimity.
A nose without graduation, curves or
marked delineation denotes mediocrity
nose with great width at the root and
many lines. which become visible at the
slightest notion denotes melancholy. while
carelessness is signified If the nose is wide
at the tip, and caution, If the tip Is thin
and pointed, with the nostrils lying fiat on
the face. e4
# the tip is sharp-pointed, with close
nostrils, this nose gives warning Of smOl-
dering fires of anger that may be stirred
quickly into flame.
Discarding the classification of noses,
there are however plenty of noses that are
interesting in many ways. There is the
trusting nose and after having trusted
and been deceived, 1t Is the most forgiving
nose. 10

Whether Grecian, Roman, tip-tilted
round or sharp. in settings with which they
harmonize, noses are frequently awarded

features they share In the favor which the
face evokes as a whole. Set in a nicely
rounded combination of bright cheeks, ruby
lips. dancing eyes and masses of curl, the
nose usually has charm of its own what

The Processes.
1t Is no longer a theory, but a fact, that
children's noses may be changed in shape.

gentle and persevering friction, and 1t may
be made longer by pulling.
A fiat nose may be remodeled by delicate

One of the disagreeable things of life is a
red nose.
The rosy hue is often caused by drinking
cup of hot tea directly after coming in
from the cold. A good rule is to avoid
taking anything hot for at least half an
hour after coming in from the cold
In summer, to prevent the nose becoming
burned and red, veil should be worn when
the sun is hot-preferably brown VEIL
The fieshy nose is nearly always more or
less red and it is most difficult to cure.
The more cartilaginous the feature the
whittier and better shaped 1T is. If 1t be
f1eshy the circulation of the blood is more
less apparent, while with cartilage there
is little or no circulation; and as blood in
duces the redness and non-crculation the
opposite, the cause and effect are palpable.
The owner of the f1eshy organ should drink
neither coffee, chocolate. nor wine for the

speedy and forcible circulation that 1t

fair persons, Is another cause for the blood

People of fair complexion are those who
suffer most from red noses.
A lotion to apply to red nose is made
by dissolving one dram of fannie acid in
two ounces of glycerine, and adding four
ounces of rose water. Saturate a piece of
