Men have been known to offer So
| called beauty doctors" tempting
sums if they could take the dimples
from their chins and women have
been known to show as great eager
ness to have dimples planted in
their chins.
But there is no good reason why
they should have done so. For
goodly number of thoroughly mas
culine men have gone through life
with dimples in their chins without
suffering the slightest embarrass-
ment from that feature; and as for
feeling that a dimpled chin is nee
essary to feminine loveliness-why
that the dimple in the chin Of q
woman is an actual blemish.
However the popular idea is that
dimple adds charm and prettiness
to a woman's face. 1t has been
called IAN impress from the finger
of cupid" And the general notion
seems to be that this feature indi-
Gates a love of the opposite sex. a
certain fondness for pleasure and
an appreciation of the beautiful.
One who has written on the subject
lof features and their meaning says
ths.t it indicates more physical
than mental grace" But this is
going too far. For Goethe, the
greatest of German poets. had a
dimpled chin and so did Mozart, one
of the greatest of German compos-
ers. Then there was Byron-a lover
of the opposite sex to be sure and Il
man of rare physical charm, but
likewise one of the most gifted OF
English poets, who showed by the
copiousness of his work that he
knew how to work and how to ap-
ply himself. Moliere among French
men of letters was certainly not a
man of Incidence or softness, nor
was Sheridan. the English drama
tist. And where could we find a
singer who combined a great gift
with greater ability and willingness
to persevere and overcome obstacles
than Jenny Lind, whose dfmpled
chin was one OF her most winsome
features7

DOM Whisper.

When someone Is i'll, when babies
come. 1t is the common habit to drop
the voice to whisper under the
mistaken idea that quiet is being
preserved. a low-voiced converse
tion is always to be desired, but the
aspirated sound made in whispering
is far more audible than the ordi-
nary speaking voice, and is far more
irritating.
When you have a patient. say
what you have to say within his
hearing in an ordinary tone. If there
is that to be said which he must nol
know go into another room. Do not
try by whispers and signs to discuss
taboo questions in his room. In the
treatment of illness a big factor is
to secure the confidence of the pa
tient. If the nurse speaks in a sem
sible, normal tone he is inclined to
make light of his illness. If, on the
other hand, he realizes that you are
anxious and that his disease has
progressed to the stage of lowered
shades, tip-toeing. and whispering
voices, you are taking hope from
him and may do incalculable harm.
The same is true of the baby's
sleeping hour. The overanxious
disturbing his rest. accustOms her
perfectly normal baby to an artifi-
cial quiet, and makes the home a
dTeary place for other members of
the family. OF course the child
should have his nerves protected
from the undue noise of shouting.
the slamminG of doors and things
of like nature, but a healthy baby
will sleep right through an ordinary
conversation. The home nurse. in
whatever capacity she finds herself,
must be the one to preserve the
household equilibrium, and from the
standpoint of both physiology and
psychology, she must throw whis-
pering and tip-toeing into the dis

HOROSCOPE.
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 1920.

Copyright, 1920, by The Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate,)
Uncertain stars rule this day, ac-
cording TO astrology and human in
terests should be pushed with due
caution. Neptune and Uranus are
in evil place and Venus is adverse.
1t is a time when the inner man
will be disturbed. while the out
ward manifestation of discomfort
will be delayed until the cumuIa-
tive power of evil reaches its
! apex.
There are threatening signs that
! should be read truly lest serious
troubles brew.
Labor continues under n direction
| of the planets that is not soothing.
| but, owing to influences makSIg
| for dissensions and differences of
opinion in organizations, progress
! toward the permanent settlement
of difficulties is likely to be slow.
The death of a woman who has
been a figure in strike agitations
is prognosticated.
Under this sway of the stars
psychic Investigations may be most
unfortunate and the rule is not
promising to those who teach oc-
cultism.
Neptune is in an aspect that is
held to befog the mind that seeks
to penetrate the mysteries of the
world that borders that of human
consciousness.
Storms are foreshadowed and
wrecks at sea indicated by the
stars.
There is a sign read as encourag-
ing to trade with southern coun-
tries.
Russia is subject to planetary in
fiuences making for better condi-
tions.
Italy remains under the sway Of
stars that are ill-omened and
threatening.
Educational matters will claim
special attention within the year
and there may be some govern
mental recognition of progress.
Persons whose birthdate IL is may
have rather a changeful and un-
settled year. They should guard
against intrigue which will be
prevalent
