The thorough cleansing of the nose, particularly in the morning. is really more important than the face.

 Exercises for nose breathing are of great va1ue- The following is very simple and should be- practised al least four times day, in the open air if possible: Put one finger over one nostril and inhaFe slowly through the other; then place the finger over the other nostril, exhaling through the nostril that was first closed.

Only a very small portion of powder should be necessary if the toilet of the nose is regularly taken care Of.

The most prominent and distin- gushing feature of the face is un doubted1y the nose. and yet it is one that is apt to be most neglected. There is really no good reason why the skin of the nose should not be kept fine and clear as the rest Of the face, but in many cases an other wise pretty and attractive face is ut terly spoiled by unsightly noStrils, enlarged pores, SuperfiuouS hair or nose that is excessively red, shiny oily or otherwise disfigured. In most cases it can be overcome by a little daily care.
 In infancy a poorly shaped nose can be moulded into perfect proportions while the bony part is still soft, and even in maturity a great improvement massage, provided there is no de- formity, in which case a reputable surgeon should be consulted.
 Among the most common afflic- tionS is that of an unusually red nose. In many cases this can be traced to Ia faulty digestion, either over or un- der eating. When the stomach is empty the nose is apt to become very red; therefore it is we'll to immedi- ately take some nourishment when this condition is noticed A glass of hot water or hot milk will be found most beneficial. Also strict attention l of beef. mutton and fresh vegetables should be eaten, but only a small sup ply of sugar is advised.
 l Upon the condition of the nasal
 passage depends to a great degree the quality of the speaking voice, the
 nose being a very important factor in | tone production. If the nasal pas
 sage is not kept free and open the re- suit is an unpleasant tone known as | nasal"

were they in any haste to renew their libationS. In an inward fever of suspense Odell forced himself to lie moionless while they smoked leisurely and car ried on an intermittent conversation of which he could make nothing. Had they forgotten the bottle of drugged Iouor which stood before their very eyes? He had no way of judging the hour but the oil in the lamp was half consumed and the branches of tfiea tree beyond the window were sil- vered with moonlight. The bottle on the table was still two-thirds full; could they mean to husband it until the next day?
 It was Tony who brought the situ- atiOn to an end.
 Fer de love O Mike, pass us de bottle! Hear dem crickets an t'ings out dere? Chee, but I'm lonesome fer Told av-noo!"
 Pete drank copiously and handed the bottle to his confederate
 ''I told you l wasn't crazy about this job'' he remarked gloomily. T wonder what the idea is anyway in holding these guys here for week? ?"
 Odell wondered also and listened intently for the reply.
 Ter give somebody time ter make a getaway. guess.~ Tony answered carelessly.
 Well, suppose they make it, Sims and the guy that was here this morn ing, and after the Week $ up we find ourselves planted here with the two dicks on our hands and minus the rest of the kale that was promised % Pete reached for the bottle and held it once more to his lips Say, when did that guy say he'd be out again ?''

 NO, you don't!' Pete laughed syn ically. I'm taking no chances or you either, my friend. We're III th1' together and we'll stick"
 For the better part of an hour they argued the question, while the con tents of the bottle slowly diminished d and their tones, at times raised to tht point of fury, grew thick and drowsy At length Tony's head dropped for ward on his breast, and his bod! slumped sidewise in his chair; bu Pete still sat with breeding eyes fXee upon the bottle

Advice To The
 Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. An Authority on all Problems of Girls and Questions of Love
 and Romance.
BREAKING A FRIENDSHIP.

Dear Miss Fairfax.
 Eight months ago I met a girl and we have been going about together since. Shortly after she suggested that I give up my girl friends. consented, because I really care for her. Frequently she confesses to love me.
 During the past week she has broken several appointment to go out with other boys. I have no objec- ton, even though I do care for her intend ending our friendship, as feel that I was double-crossed. Am I right? What is your version?
 SENSITIVE
 Matters between you should have been on more of a "fifty-ffty'' basis Of that there is no doubt The girl has no right to demand of you an eN- aggerated loyalty in return for which she wouldn't even give the decent courtesy of keeping her engagements. There seems nothing for you to have done except precisely the thing you did.

M ern, up-to-date seven room and M bath cottage. for no house with such an artistic gabled roof can fail to be that Surrounded by a. num- Der of stately old trees and set amid a well kept lawn, the house shown today is one that will attract atten- ton from passersby generally. As shown here. it is constructed of frame with drop siding to the sill course and shingles dipped in creo- sote stain. The roof also is shingled and stained a harmonious color.
 One of the first impressions gained of this house is it's roominess and air of substantial well-being. Passing through the porch, one enters direct ly into a wide hall from which the stairway ascends. On the right is the living room with it's cheery fire place. At the extreme end of this room is an arched doorway through which one glimpses the sun parlo-- an altogether delightful room if fur nished in wicker or bamboo with gay chintz or eretonne coverings and hangings to match and with plenty of growing plants and blooming flow CTS adding fragrance and color.

A Case for Explanation.


 In the place where I work Is a young man who has invited me out several times but I have had to re- fuse because I must take my sister with me when I go out I cannot in vite my friends to my home because my parents will not allow any men visitors. For the last week this man has avoided me and when We do meet he refuses to speak Is il my place to ask him what is the trouble or should I wait until he feels inclined to speak to me? C.N-
 If you refused the young mans in vitation without any explanation. of course he was offended and came to the conclusion that he was only an moving you by his efforts to be friendly. He's acting a bit babyish about it-but the fact that you can so hurt him shows he is really inter ested in you. If you want his friendship ask him to arrange to take your sister along-or merely put the whole condition to him clearly and see what he does In any case it seems clear that you will have to patch things up and make the first advances.
