The shape of Your Nose.

There is a tolerably close racial
parallel between high-nosed and high
minded. The nose is not only our
most human, but in broad sense Is
our most intellectual, feature. Growth
of nose and shrinkage of jaw have
been the two great correlates which
have accompanied human progress.
The moment, however, that we en-
deavor to go beyond these broad and
loose CONGRATULATIONS we find our
selves in trouble. This, from the
fact, patent to every one who has kept
his eyes open, that we find noses of
practically all shapes, from the pie
bian pug to the aristocratic aquiline,
in individuals of the same race, and
even in members of the same family,
although the long and straight or con-
vex noses would be far more numer-
GUS in the higher races and the ADLER
families. 1t is comparatively seldom
that a great man has a small nose, or
even a short one, and instead Of ap.
plying such terms as "proboscis,"
"beak," carrot" and "beet" to a
large, long, aggressive nose, it should
be regarded as a mark of breeding
and as prima facie evidence of good
blood and possible apacity.-Succes

Ibsen and Freedom,

Ibsen seems to be regarded by the
anti-suffragists as their own peculiar
property. When any one nowadays is
announced to talk on Ibsen and wom-
an 1t Is sure to be about anti-suffrage,
and so it was yesterday when Miss
Eleanor Ford expounded, reports the
New York Tribune, "Ibsen on the
Freedom of Woman's WILL" in a
studio in the Carnegie Hall building.
In dreamy, dull green atmosphere,
induced by lowered curtains and
closed windows, thirteen women and
one shy young man listened to the
lecture, which wasn't so tranquil as
1t might have been, owing to the fact
that near-Caruso in the music studio
next door had taken that time for
brushing up his minor scales.
Miss Ford said she didn't know
how many Of her listeners were suf-
fragists; she herself had reached the
soul-plane where she knew there were
no such things as suffrage and anti
suffrage, but not all women were on
that plane, and some women were
making a lot of trouble these days
by trying to exercise their wills like
men.
1T is much more dangerous for a
woman to exercise her will than for a
man." said Miss Ford earnestly. MEN
are so busy doing useful, mechanical
things, building houses and bridges
and keeping the world going, that
they can't do the harm women can"
Then Miss Ford talked about Elida,
Ibsen's Lady of the Sea-" and ex-
planned that DR.. Wondel's calm, mas
culine way of proving to Elida that
she didn't want to leave him for the
stranger was symbolic of the way the
men of to-day are settling the woman
suffrage question.
"All over America" she said, "wise
men are saying to women: Very
we'll, If yod want the responsibility
of the ballot, try it, And when
the women hear this they know they
are afraid to try"
"Ow-ow- wow-wow-wow," remarked
the near-Caruso next door in a de-
scending scale. And suffragist in a
rear seat looked as II it did her lot
of good to hear her sentiments thus
expressed.

The Styles in Stockings.

Plain or openwork silk and Isle
stockings are to be equally smart
this season, but the plain ones must
be so sheer that they will show the
flesh tint. While black stockings will
be worn with black shoes, white with
white buckskin and tan with the tan
Russia calf, rumor has it that the
stocking in striking contrast to the
shoe viii make its advent for water
ing place wear. While it is undoubt-
ediy most conspicuous fashion, it is
one which last season was adopted by
the best dressed men, and being a
masculine style 1t must perforce be
the correct thing.

The Way They Arc Pasted on Lug.
gage Betrays Owners to the Wise.
Many tourists consider themselves
the chief sufferers through the tip
ping system, but they are not the
victims. When they have really I'M
derstood the position of employer and
employed, especially in tourist towns,
they will probably agree that the
victim is the servant, who is engaged
to work for the hotel keeper and paid
in many instances by the guests.
In hotels where the proprietor pays
his employees full wages = and there
are few-the service may be fairly
satisfactory, and it might be more so
If all guests would refrain from tip
ping, but as soon as one visitor COM
mences this sort of bribery he is very
soon specially attended to, and other
visitors consequently lose their fair
share of attention.
In hotels where full wages are not
paid the best service is bestowed on
those guests who give gratuities, or
who are likely to do so, and this the
employee knows from the marks on
the luggage (they may be chaiked on
by the servants at the hotel last WIS.,
ited) or the particular manner in
which the last hotels label has been
pasted on trunk.
In hotels where no wages are paid
to those servants who come in direct
contact with guests the service is per-
feet if tip has been or likely to be
given. If there is any fault with the
service the guest is probably the
cause of it. Neglect to answer bells
is the chambermaid's simple way of
limiting that her wages depend on
tips and that she requires bride.
If letters or newspapers are not
delivered within half an hour of their
arrival the concierge wishes you to
remember that he is their guardian.
If your boots are not ready when you
want them and not clean, then it is
only because you have not paid for
the polish there or at the last hotel
you visited. You have to ring more
than once for your morning coffee
If the sommelier suspects you of
meanness, and your dinner will be
thousandfold more digestible if YOU
come to terms with the head waiter
and his staff.
Now all this is not any more the
fault of the servant than of the guest
or the proprietor. 1t is in fact an
important convention, which will not
easily come to an end, and when and
if it does the guest will not be more
comfortable, while the servant will
be both happier and lazier. If hotel
frequenters will always reckon tips
as a fixed part of their expenses,
choosing hotels with prices (plus
tips) they can afford, they will prob
ably arrive at the conclusion that tip
ping is after all not pernicious sys-

name of some lady in the company,

sess them. Yet all of these could be
largely prevented. Tight collars and
stocks are accountable for many of
the lines at tie side of a woman's
neck. The carriage of the head, and
even ones position when sleeping, has
much to do with forming a double
chin.
The head should be carried erect
when walking, says Woman's Life.
When reading or sewing the chin
should never be dropped on the
chest, but the book or work should
be held in position that will allow
the chin to be held moderately high.
