Nothing is more rare than a really
perfect nose-that is, one which unites
harmony of form, correctness of pro-
portion and proper affinity with the
other features.
The following are, according to the
rules of art, the conditions requisite to
the beauty of this organ:
The nose should have the same length
as the forehead and have a slight de-
preston at it's root. From its root to
its extremity it should follow a per-
fectly straight line. and come exactly
over the center of the upper lip. The
bridge of the nose, parallel on both
sides, should be little wider in the
center. The tip should be neither too
thin nor too fieshy, and its lower out
line neither narrow nor too wide The
lobes must be gracefully defined by a
slight depression. Seen sideways. the
lowest part of the nose will have but g
third Of its total length.
