THE CHILD AND BEAUTY.
Nose Can Be Shaped and Hair Trained to Grow Differently and Skin < Kept Nice.
(To Be Continued.)

There are several rules that should
 be observed for the health and beauty
 of any child. The first is to give il
 something to do. No child can play
 all day. There should be some kind
 of regular task. This will make the child beautiful as well as healthy. Il will cultivate its mind and it's body. A healthy child should also have
 something to occupy it's mind. It can,
 in Japanese fashion. paste pictures on
 the wall or play with handsome em-
 broideries or train the eye by doing
 little light carving and painting.
 These are matters for the individual
 to decide. But child should keep
 itself occupied if it is going to be
 healthy and handsome.
 The little girl who is going to grow up to be handsome woman should know, early, how to take care of her beauty aaa .e.s e. t.@
 She should know how to keep her teeth nice. The first teeth should be allowed to drop out; they should never
 be drawn. Then the new teeth should be carelully attended with the brush or with a soft cloth. A child should be told not to use a toothbrush viz orously. Nothing so injures the teeth.
 A little girl should early be taught not to make grimaces. The little girl who pulls down one side of her mouth, as child. will be very certain to do so as a woman. She must learn not to draw down one eye nor to pull her mouth askew.
 The molding of the nose is some- thing for every child to learn. If the little girl viii pinch her nose, striv- ing to keep it upright and slightiy Grecian she will be rewarded with handsome nose one of these days. The nose is made of soft material and, by pinching it, sne can keep it straight and noble in shape.
 The mouth of the little girl is gen. orally too large. This can be remedied to great extent by curving it and shrinking it. To shrink a mouth try the habit of puckering it little; then lift the corners; then make the mouth bow; then try to make it a lit- tie more expressive. You can accom- plish miracles with your mouth if you only try. But-never forget-don't twist it or pull 1t down at one cor ner. This is fatal to beauty.
 ,i The little girl whose hair grows awkwardly upon her forehead can easily mold it to grow right. If the forehead is too, low the hair can be pulled sharply back until. it comes down in a pretty point as desired. Remember that the hair grows readily and that it can almost be shaped to your will.
 The skin of the little girl can be kept young by very little massage. It should be rubbed with the finger tips softly and lightly as though it were down. It should not be touched unless it is rough or pimpled. But, at the first sign of trouble, there should be very little cream nodded into it. The pure sweet cream is best; and ssS"s " hhio NoE1~S c"NCA Nucu sour milk and buttermilk. These are the best cosmetics known.
 The hair of the little girl must be washed once a week. But not with soap nor with any heavy shampoo mixture. It should be gone over with a special shampoo which is made by beating an egg until it is foamy. A cup of tepid water is then added to 1t and a pinch of borax stirred in. With this the hair is wet thoroughly. Then it is washed with plenty of warm water. No soap is needed ordinarily.
 The shoes of the little girl should be very large. The larger the better is a good rule for any persons shoes. It may be that big shoes wear rough places on the rect. but as a rule it is the little, tight shoe that does the damage. The little girls shoes should be very long and just a triie mar rover than the foot as it rests upon
