There is great deal Of un-
necessary worrying done about
the shape of the nose. Often
times its irregular outline adds
character and interesting in
dividuality to the face. The girl
with the turned-up nose would
not be herself with a classic
Greek nose. A Roman nose may.
lend the classic charm of an
ancient coin to an otherwise
commonplace face.
Unless your nose is positively
conspicuously ugly, I suggest
that YOU refuse to worry about
its shape. If you feel that an
operation to improve the shape
OF yohr nose is positively neces-
sary to your peace OF mind and
You can afford the several hun
dreds tof dollars it win cost, you,
can doubtless get the names Of
reputable plastic surgeons from
your physician or the nearest
large hospital. The surgeon, after
q careful examination, can tell
you whether an operation is adj
visable in your case. In many
instances the operation has been
entirely successful, and it does
not require a great deal of time
In the hospital-po possibly not
more than a week.
Improved circulation and good
digestion will do much to baniSn
red from the nose. Practice
daily setting-up exercises, take a.
daily bath and walk three miles
briskly each day to keep your
blood actively circulating, then
you viii be less likely to have
red hands and a red nose. Avoid
also a tight brassiere. tight arm
holes In your clothing, tight gar
tiers and elastic bands at the
wafstline. Tight bands anywhere
about the body interfere with cir
culat1on and may cause a red
nose.
The shiny nose is usually due
to the fact that the nose, being
more Geshy than most of the
face, is more inclined to be oily.
In cleansing your face with
cream or oil at night, be especi-
ally careful to remove all excess
cream from the folds of the nos
trils otherwise 1t win block them
and cause enlarged pores and
blackheads. Also, sponge your
nose with warm then cold water
night and. morning If the skin is
inclined to be oily. Or sponge It
night and morning with the fol-
lowing astringeht:
Witch hazel, eight ounces; tine
ture Of ahenzoin, One-half ounce.
A small square of absorbent
cotton should be dipped first in
Ice cold water then in this mix
ture, and sponged over the nose
and any other part Of the face
and neck inclined to be NoiIy. A
light coat of powder can be ap-
piled over this base.
Eat less Of oily food such as
rich salad dressing, fried food,
rich grayiesy sauces and SOUPS IL
your nose shines, more fruit and
fresh Vegetables.
The nostrilg should be very
gently bathed each morning with
absorbent cotton and yluke-Warm
water. aa
Speaking, Of the nose, suggests
the Importance of sweet breath.
a &oOu mouth WASH HSpcEl times
daily will help bring about this
much.to-be-desired result. "A pinch.
Of bicarbonate Of soda to q glass
of water Is an effectual mouth
wash.ss In addition overcome in
digestion and constipation, pay
regular trips to your dentist and
keep your throat and nasal pas
sages clear and healthy. q For
sweet breath is an essential Of
charm.
Much can be done to improve
the appearance Of, the nose by
sensible attention to its care and
TO the general health and by
choosing hats and neck-llnes
which set 1t off to advantage and
accentuate its charm.
