 "If people live in uncomely environments where their senses are assailed by un- pleasant things they become unsightly themselves. Improper foods will make the mouth ugly; offensive sights, inartistic uncouth, sombre colors-objects that are uncouth disfgure the eyes. Offenses to the sense of hearing, such as harsh sounds, discordant music, improper utter ances cause the ears to become badly shaped. Just so, too, the expression of the hair, the perfection of the complexion all are regulated by the way the senses are affected. And what is true of the features is true of the body.
 "The remedy Is simply to surround wo- men with delecta ble odors, dulcet sounds, palatable foods, beautiful sights. correct ideas
 This is not rambling talk, it Is scien- tfic. Just as one practical example let us take a young woman whose nose is irregular and who follows these ideas. You must understand that the inhalation of delicate odor produces a motion imper- ceptible to the naked eye upon certain muscular cords, and tissues This deli cate exercise in time transforms the nose to a normal condition. When l say normal" I mean that nature intended the human nose to have regularity and beauty of outline that few possess. It is simply necessary to properly direct tho odor suited to the particular person and to regulate the duration and interval of inhalation. While of necessity it is a deli cate operation, being founded on a scien- tfic fact, the result can be absolutely de- termined.
 "The fact that American woman are growing homely as a race does not mean that there is not great individual beauty; but at the conclusion of her studies, Mrs. Pomeroy will advocate such methods of reform in living beautiful lives that all women will be started on the ascending scale of good looks"

NABUCOS ARE HOSTS
 IN HONOR OF ROOT
BRAZILIAN AMBASSADOR REFERS TO APPROACHING VISIT OF SEC RETARY OF STATE TO RIO DE JANEIRO.

Washington. February 15.-The Brazil ian ambassador and Madame Nabuco to- night gave a dinner in honor of Sec retary and Mrs. Root and invited as their guests all the ministers of the South American republics, which will take part in the Pan-American congress in Rio De Janeiro next spring, which Secretary Root will attend. The tables were placed so that they formed a map of North and South America and there were about sixty guests. In drinking the health of Mir. Root Mir. Nabuco said:
 MT. Secretary of State: You and Mrs. Root, with the brilliant and representa- tive company asked to meet you at this embassy, will find yourselves sitting to- night around a table that symbolizes the border of the American republics and under the flag of the nation that in a few months will have the honor of being their host and yours. We in Brazil feel much gratified that the first visit that an American secretary of state will have ever made to a foreign coun- try is promised to ours. Once there you will see yourself how deep Is our sense of the leading, and in many re- spccts creative, part that the United States have been called to play in the destinies of the new world. We realize distinctly that no magnet for freedom, for progress, for peace, was ever built in history on such a powerful scale and possessing such strength as North Amer tcan democracy With these feelings l raise my glass to the success of your announced visit to Brazil, hoping that it will be of the memorable dates in President Roosevet's administration and that you will be able to assure him on your return to Washington that your common interest in our continental com- radeship is fully reciprocated by all Latin America"
