Woman and Her Nose.

"The latest wrinkle" said a Fifth
avenue photographer of women, lis
the averted countenance in portrait
ure. Inasmuch as woman's nose,
when she directly faces the camera,
is closer to the lens than any other
feature, it is magnified slightly, which
is not desirable. To avoid this we
try to retire that organ as much as
possible, and the only way is to re-
touch the negative. This is invar-
iably done when the nose is a trifie
larger than perfect harmony requires.
A woman with a big nose is the I'M
happiest of mortals, far more miser-
able than the man with one too small.
The tip of it is always cold, render
ing her positively unkissable. Nine
tanths of the pictures | am taking
nowadays have the head thrown back,
exposing the throat, emphasizing the
chin, concealing the tendency of the
under lip, giving small, tip-tilted
nose, with a fine view of the nostrils.
greatly softening the expression of
the eyes. beautifully arching the
brows and modifying the forehead
Oh, we CT make any woman look
pretty in q photograph. That is our
art"

parIor Amusemcnts.

Two Darlor amusements which |
have lately seen carried out with great
success are the following: Send a
person out of the room. decide upon
an object or some simple performance,
recall the person. and have member
of the party place his fingers lightly
upon the persons shoulders while he
and all others think intently of the
object or act decided upon. The re-
suits sometimes are almost uncanny
A lady went straight and drew scarf
pin from a mans necktie just as we
willed, found a key hidden in lady's
slipper and so on. The other trick
is to draw upon sheet of paper a
square with diagonal lines between the
corners, the only opportunity OF the
artist to watch his own progress being
in a mirror held uD before his hands
by a second person. A newspaper is
held over the sheet and the hand
which is doing the drawing. The re-
suits are sometimes uproariousiy

In Shirred White Velvet.

Gorgeous dress hats are of shirred
white velvet. not too big, and with
artistic brim lines. A paradise plume,
or cluster of curly white ostrich
feathers, one of these is the preferred
trimming.
Shun any efforts of your milliner to
set cut steel or rhinestone buckle on
your velvet hat. To put it on would
be to rob it of its prestige as fash
ionable hat, and to place it in the cat
egory of last seasons millinery. Only
plumes are worn with this superb
white velvet hat, and it is demanded
that these feathers be in perfect con-
dition, the best of the kind.
If any flowers or colored trimming
be introduced on these new hats, you
may be sure it is on TIE under brim
This brings it more directly near the
face, where color may be needed to
be becoming, and it does not quarrel
with the elegance of your shirred
white velvet hat.

IGNORANCE

W1en first Love passed, he left bud

To be my charge. All! had only
known
That in his very heart its root was
grown,
I should have treasured it from star
yelling woes,
Let no harsh wind have dealt it care

Nor bruised its leaves; l would have

If Life had made me for its trust atone
With any penance which her pleasure
chose.
But when Love came again and babe

What flower his gift had been, and

And strove to find thera what my

All me! Loves unblown rose had
dropped and died!

the biscuits. she carefully folded the
paper bag and placed it on the floor
in order that it should be duly taken
away. The train drew up, and the
lady, with her friend, alighted, but an
awkward country boy sitting opposite,
seeing the bag still upon the floor,
picked it up and fastened after the
ladies'. In very shy manner and
with a scarlet face. he presented the
bag to its late owner, asking If she
had not forgotten it. Many people
would have laughed and made the
poor youth ill at ease by remarking
that the bag was thrown away, but the
lady graciously accepted it and not
only thanked him, but kept the bag in
her hand until he was out of sight.
She saw at once what was in the boys
mind and would not embarrass him by
letting him see that he had made a
mistake.

An old Maids "Don'ts."

"Old maids children have repu-
tation for being brought up on the EN-
inentl" correct plan-a reputation
that is proverbial A spinster claims
to have furnished Good Housekeeping
with these "Don'ts" in connection with
bringing up a baby. They sustain
that reputation, for they are certainly
sensible beyond the ordinary. She
says
Il have never brought up baby,
nevertheless | have lived in families
where there were babies and young
children, who, through (as it seemed
to mel mismanagement,w were no COM
fort to themselves or any one else.
Don't wake baby up unless neces-
sary; it makes it neryous-and
baby's first business is to sleep and
eat and grow If it must be awak-
ened, do it by rustling a paper or
very gentle touch.
Don't get it excited at night; it
should go to sleep quietly and calmly.
The morning is the time for a frolic.
Don't jump it up and down Or let
it bear its weight on its feet before
nature is ready.
Don't look cross at it, A mothers
smile is heaven to baby.
Don't shake it, however annoying
it may be.
Don't let it go to sleep at night
without gentle rubbing all over with
the hand at first, and when older with
a flesh brush.
Don't walk the floor with it when
it frets this does the child no real
good, and it soon forms the habit, and
the mother or nurse has to suffer.
Don't be irregular about feeding.
Animals are fed Cor should be) reg
ularly; why not the human race?
Don't let it suffer for a drink of
cold water mot too cold. of course),
and let it drink from a cup or glass.
1t is said to be easier for the little I'm.
certain lips to cling to the edge than
to a spoon.
Don't teach it to be afraid of the
dark, or thunder, or of animals, a
child is naturally fearless and it ought
to be encouraged.
Don't let its clothes get wrinkled
or hunched This is uncomfortable
for grown person. how much more
for baby!
Don't let it go barefooted-have
heard it said a baby will rub the soles
of its feet together and make the legs
crooked.
Don't let it stay wet; it will chafe
Nor with cold feet; gentle friction is
good
Don't allow it to be kissed in the
mouth. Under the chin is a soft, safe
place.
Don't give it more than one thing
at time to look at. and wait until 1t
turns its eyes away.
Don't speak loudly to it nor jerk it.
Calmness and quietness are always
best"
