THE EMPIRE NOSE IN FASHION


making them the shape they ought to
be. according TO the style.
This fashionable nose has a sharp
tip. This does not mean the down
ward inquisitive type. but, rather, the
French variety of tip, the nose that is
small. but straight. coming to a point
at the tip.
To get this sharp tip the specialists
squeeze the end of the nose with cold
cream until it comes to a point, and
the patient continues the treatment
herself Ten squeezes night and morn
ing upon the tip of the nose viii bring
it to a point in short while.
The autumn winds play havoc with
the nose. and women who want to be
pretty must learn how to protect them.
The following is how a Frenchwoman
does the trick: Before going out In
the morning she dashes her nose with
hot water, plenty of it; enough to heat
the skin Then into this warm nose
she rubs cream of milk. When 1t has
dried she puts on powder.
She rubs powder into the skin until
her nose is as white as chalk. whittier
than any nose you ever saw in your
life And when she does this she puts
on a heavy veil The result is that the
raw winds cannot srnite the skin of her
nose; 1t is well protected Later when
she comes home she dusts of the su-
perf1uous powder and her nose IS pretty
for the day.

Soft. Clinging
Materials Selected
For the Wedding
Frock-Crepe
Meteor, NinOn or
The New Wooden
Satin

F course in any discussion Of
the bridal trousseau the first
thought is for the wedding
gown The conventional
bridal dress is whitehall is an essen
tial point that all authorities agree
uron-but no law is laid down as to
the material, which is usually as rich
and expensive as the purse can afford
or as modest and simple as economy
or the brides finer taste dictates.
Thick and stately white satin is not
80 much used for the wedding frock
ms It used to be. The bride of today
selects rather one of the soft clinging
fabrics, such as mousseline, crepe me
teor, yelling, ninon or a new wooden
satin, which Grapes beautifully. This
latter material is best suited to the
girl not overburdened with money.
One note that is much in evidence IN
the newest bridal dress is simplicity
The long sheathlike lines of the en-
pire gown are a favortte with the bride
Of the autumn. A fchu draped across
the bodice, a trail or cluster Of orange
blossoms on the skirt, the most ext
gent fashion demands no more than a
ninay veil to envelOp the graceful nE-
ure. Lace in abundance trims the
smart bridal gown. and the bride elect
who has presented to her some old
family lace is indeed fortunate. The
present styles permit of various ways

in q kind of mobcAp surrounded by a
coronet Of orange blossoms. But when
everything is said there is nothing so

cloud OF tulle. and the wearing of lace
is more ostentatious than becoming.
A beautiful arrangement of the bridal
veil is shown in the wedding costume
illustrated. The caplilxe affair on the
head, with a brim Of orange flowers,
is charming, and the veil is caught to

WHEN THE
LAMP IS LIT
Musings of EIinOr Hite

TT is curious how in many cases mar
rage develops nerves" and all
sorts of tiles that bind a man a little
too closely to domesticity. It is such
a mistake! It is also a curious thing
how tame many men get when In the
matrimonial harness and how willing
ly they submit to tyranny, which In
their days of single blessedness would
have Mortified them even to think
about! This state Of things lasts for a
time, and then suddenly men become
irritated with married life and do not
know the reason.
While it is expected that every mar
ried woman will manage her home in
q capable manner and love her chill
dren, there is no doubt that If she cen
tiers her entire thoughts on domestic
life she will grow intensely stupid. mar
row minded and uninteresting. The
mind deteriorates rapidly II not used
in the right way, especially If it is en-
tireIy engrossed in trivial and needless
anxieties and worries
Too often one meets with a woman
who will babb1e on for hours about the
marvellous doings of her children or the
badness of her servants. It is i'm
possible to divert her mind from her
belongings except for q moment or
two Naturally she bores her fr1enda,
and they stop visiting her, and she
wonders why. But her poor suffering
husband gets a double dose of these
subjects in consequence. Fond as he
is of his children he gets tired of this
constant eulogy. How he longs for
some sensible and interesting converse
ton, but he won't get it. And he need
not expect much consideration from
his too domesticated wife. for her af-
fections are altogether wrapped up in
to care about anything else in the
world This is another case in which
affections merge into se1ishness.
Now a good and sensible mother
would never dream of being so selfish
as to sacrifice every ones comfort and
happiness for the sake of her children
neither would she be so selfish as to
try to make her husband play second
fiddle to them.
There is a strong point in favor OF
the modern woman's movement. max
ing as it does for the enlargement Of
mind and a wider outlook for the
masses of half educated women whose
interests hitherto have never scared
beyond the petty and personal.
1t must make for the harmonious
happiness of the home. The wife who
is more broad minded, capable and in
diligently interested in matters out
side domestic life is more of a COM
panion to her husband. In fact, hus
band and wife become real comrades
and complain no more OF the unutter-
able boredom OF matrimony-

PONY COATS

For popular priced garments it is
difficult to find any fur which viii meet
all requirements so well as pony skin.
For this reason pony skins are again
being used extensively. The natural
pony is sharing favor with the dyed
variety, and when combined with nutr1a-
or beaver trimmings makes q good
looking coat for the price
It is well to mention in this connec-
ton that the real Russian pony skin
coats are the kind mostly used The
caIfslxin does not find ready sale now
that the best grade of pony has drop
ped to reasonable prices.

A CONVENIENT COAT HANGER.

A recently returned ''vacationer'
tells of a handy hanger she learned to
make while she was short of the real
article during her trip.
BY simply rolling stiff wrapping pa
per or newspaper, tying a cord on each
side of center and draping the freshly
ironed shirt waist or frock over It she
had a hanger which could not be beat
en- for convenience. It isn't bad idea
to keep in mind when one happens to
be short of hangers which is quite
often the case.
