There is a woman in New York who is famous for her noses. Not for any oik on her own face, but for tho.-v she has put on the faes of others. She is the expert on the beautification of the nose, and to her rich parents send 'laughters whot-e noses are unpromising. unpromis-ing. And if the candidate for fame as a society beauty goes early enough to the now ouluiiist she boasts that she can remedy the most unpromising case. It means the molding of the organ day ' by day. The nose its made of cartilage, and is pliable. It can be massaged into shape and made crooked or straight, J flat or Grecian, or even Roman. Here are her rulea for getting a beautiful beau-tiful nose: "When washing her face she must not rub her nose up. She must not sleep on her face. She inust not get into the habit of burying hr nose in her pillow. She must not preiss upward on the tip of her nose at any time. ' Nor must she hit her nose or injure it if she can possibly help it. A little care in guarding the nose against chance knocks will often fjuve a nose from disfigurement later on. "Theiv are cases where girls have ruined their noos and made them really real-ly 'hook' by the habit of pulling at the lin of the nose," says the specialist. '"This is a habit which, when formed in childhood, grows upon a person, and Hie hook nose is one that grows more and more pronounced a? one grows .older .old-er and continues to pull upon the tip of the nose. "I recently heard of a case in Europe. It -was that of a little dauehter of the Duchess of Fif.'. Jly informant told me that the child suffered from a broad nose about wh di she was terribly sensitive. sen-sitive. One day her mother took her up 10 a face specialist, who 'advised a treatment, and in a short time the child vas much improved in look". Noses S by Clothespins. "I" the .

The little girls of olden day , to sit with a- hairpin hair-pin "ii the lo-c, and the southern mammies weiv ii'-ver tired of pressing the little noser of their charges into t place. whil. the in ire practical girls of i the north wore a clothespin on the nose. "The bale nose can be made as shapely as you please, but it must b" molded da by day and squeezed and piessed jmo shape or it will not be as h ought to be. . "And while speaking of a child's nose it i' a good thing- to mention the noses "f elderly persons. There- comes no time in a woman'. life when her nose may not be ,,r-se, out 0r shape. And 1 there is no hour in her life -when she may not begin to reclaim it. The nose that 1s wide can be '.rented.' and the 1 i'c-e that is .nut t an be lifted and the 1. .-- that is humped or crocked can be stivishtened. It is never too late to mend ;i nose. "Never let the none become dosed. I:':iicu!ty in breathing is sure to dilate ! the nostiils. They will stand out so j as to poil the symmetry of the face. "The way to mend it is by constant ! working upon it. Do not irritate it. nor make it red. inffam-d or sore. Put at right, before going to bed. massacre mas-sacre the rides of the nose, lifting it and pressing it into Grecian shape. The st raight Grecian nope is the pretty no-e i ol today. And the woman whose nose j turns up or down, or lies Hat. is the' woman who nee,.s t., put in a little time niat--saging her nose. j "li'-meinbcr always that the cartilage cartil-age js v,,ft and that you can flatten the r"M- at a blow. In the same way. Ton 'an lift it and mold it into nice shape. "The eyebrows can always be made i nie. and in th -hsp of a little child j the eyebrows are susceptible of iium-'.i i treatment. They can be curved and made as pretiy as one would want to j v.. v Eyebrows Easilv Treated. j "A vmnan who belongs to New I York's Four Hundred came to me not long hro with a little girl w bos- ey.- j leows weje far from symmetrical. One was thicker than the other, Both were seamy, and the right one was much hiirher than the left. The child was fast becoming disfigured. What could be done for her? "1 went to work, and exercised j strategy. 1 worked over her eyebrows j faithfully, and in the end w;v re- j warded with a great improvement. j "I mad- a nice eyebrow grower, a . thin, wn.oih cream, w hich would mane hair grow on a Mono. 'With this cream 1 painted the child's thin eyebrow every ev-ery day. J used the tiniest brush, and. after dipping it in 'he cream. I painted the eyebrow just along the line which I wished it to' take. It was an easy matter, and took but a few minutes. I had the cream warm, and I ued little of. it, just enough to encourage the growth of hair along the line of the brow. "This is a thing which every woman might d. She could gently anoint her thin eyebrows with fi good eyebrow grower, and in a .shirt tiiiie she would be rewarded with good brows. This is so easily done that it is a wonder that more women do not d it. Why neglect neg-lect such a simple precaution, when thin eyebrows are death to good looks? "There is a difference of opinion, nut most people admire curved brows. I There are those who like straight brows. Cut as a rule the eye with th? curved brow is much mere pleasing. It gives a classic sweetness to the face, . this gentle curvature of the eyebrows. 1 "Where one eyebrow is higher than the other it is a matter of weak eyes. One eye is not strong, the eyelid droops and pretty soni the eyebrow also i droops. - . . j "The remedy for this is to treat the j eyesight. Gla-es should be worn for 'awhile or until the eyesight begins to limprove. Or, perhaps,, the. eyes need only a simple eye lotion, which will so -n restore the weak eye and make it able to do its work. Both eyes should be of equal power, or the lids, the lashes, and the brows' will all give evidence evi-dence that one eye is not as strong as the other. "So the eyes must be cared -for and kept strong. Melancholy and weal: eyes j will caus the eyelids to sag. to droop, cud to look bad. And the professional beauty will take care that she does not creep into the fault cf letting the lids grow weak. "Massage will do a great deal for the eye The brows can be treated, the eyelids can be lifted and strengthened. And even when neglected In childhood a great de.il can be done later. I have worked successfully upon the eyes of n society leader of 54. I massaged them, bathed them, strengthened them and made them nice again. Making Over an Ugly Girl. "I had an interesting case not long ago of a little girl whoso mouth drooped. It had a melancholy look. The child was happy, but. through some fault in her early training, her mouth sagged at the cornets. She looked sad. no matter how happy she was. and one could well imagine that in time this lock of sadness would deepen on her face and she would have a melancholy cast of countenance which would be death to a-1 beauty. "Now, the proper mouth is fhaped like a bow. Mrs. Clarence Mackay has it perfectly. It lifts at each corner. U is shaped like the Cupid bow of which one leads in poetry. There are mouths which are built this way. And other mei'ths which mu.i be trained to bow. "The woman whose mouth does not bow should learn to bow it. She should simply, force herself to smile. She should lift the corneii? and keep them lifted until it becomes second nature to make the lips smile. One of my patients pa-tients kept at it until she- actually I made her mouth look like a Cupid's bow. The lipp were full and the corners cor-ners were lifted. "Little girls whose lips are thin can improve- the mouth by. not pressing the lips together. Lips tighily compressed will always be thin and lips that are compressed and, pulled down at the corners cor-ners will look like a slit across" the face. Ugly and menacing. "If the lips are inclined to be thin, do not press them together. On the contrary, keep them slightly apart. This will make them look fuller. An open mouth is never pretty, but the lips can be touched ever r?o lightly together to-gether in such a way as to make them look fuller. It is all a habit, this way of keeping the lips slightly apart, and a habit which a woman would do well to cultivate. Making the Mouth Curve. "A child'f mouth, if inclined to sag, can be massaged upward a little aMhe corners. A little thin massage cream should be used. It will make the skTn fairer and more supple land will not be in any way injurious. Indeed, it ji-c-serves Ihe tone of the flesh, this daily apnlication of skin food to the face. "Massage the corners of the mouth upward once a day and you will find that pretty soon the mouth will begin to curve naturally and the appearance will be a thousand times improved. "A child's hair can b encouraged tf grew down on the forehead. If a little oil is massaged into the roots of the hair, along the line of the forehead, it vid Foeouraee the hair to grow. There are a few things to be remembered hy the woman who is trying to make a child. over into a professional beauty. And they are rules which can be ap- 1 plied to grown persons as w ell as chil- j dren. i "If the hair grows too high on the forehead rub the roots with snveet oil every night. "Never use more than six drops of oil for the entire forehead. "Never brush the hair back from the forehead. Draw it gently back with the finser tins and with a soft brush. "Don't, rull the hair. Better let it, snail. ' "Try not to wet the roots of the hair 1 any oftener than necessary. Washing the hair is a foe to heavy hair. "I'!!; a little hair tonic once a week to keep it frcm growing thin back of the ears and in the back of the neck. "Don't let your hair get gray. Treat the roots, if a grown-up person. If a child's hair, treat the roots to keep it from getting thin. "Never braid or twist the hair tightly. tight-ly. Never wear the hr.ir the same more than two days in sueeessi.,n. And in 1 case of a child's hair braid it different ways on successive days. The strain must never come upon the same spot twice. "Treat the features r.nd the hair daily. It is time well spent, "To improve the general looks, here are directions for the -Jay. Follow them as regularly as you sleep. They take in the whole countenance: "Massage the skin to make it soft and white. "Pinch ihe nose if it is flat. ."Massage the corners of the mouth if they droop. "SJraighten the line of the eyebrows. "Press back the cars. Don't pull them, but keep them laid back flat to the head. "Work upon the cheeks to keep them rcund and firm. "And don't forget that beauty is a woman's beat weapon."
