"Using- the fir$t two fingers oi each hand, massage a thin, bony nose." By Lina Cavalieri, MANY inquiries showing how many persons are interest ed in the subject have moved me to write another chapter about the nose. No, my dear many readers, you cannot change the size of the noao. II nature gave you a large noa there is no safe way to reduce its ize. You can, however, especially while still young, greatly modify, .ts shape. This is true If your most proml aent feature happens to be fat and Sat. There are numerous nose clamps adapted to various sizes and needs. . They are for sale at drug stores and at the shops of in strument makers- But in lieu of them you can yourself twist ' a strong piece of wire, blunt at tne ends, into the shape you need, and, after wrapp.ng it in felt to protect the nose from the metal, fit It on the outside part of the nose wher ever you wish to modify its shape. For example, if your-nose Is" very broad and flares at the nostrils, fas ten the wire ut the lower part of tho nose. If it is too broad at the middle attach the Improvised clamp at that part of the nose. Keep it on as long as you can with com fort. Hub cold cream freely Intj the nose before using the clamp and afterward. In country com munities in Franco I have known pretty, growing girls to successfully use clothespins in this way, first wrapping them round with pieces of clean white flannel that has beea soaked in olive oil. Massage of the nose will go far toward narrowing the nose that is too wide. Take the lower part of the nose gently between the thumb and first finger and by a succession of pinches work slowly down from the tip to the flare of the nostrils. This will not only, it Ions enough continued, make the nose narrower, but it will make it a little longer. If, on the contrary, tho nose be thin and bony, massage will Im proved. But in this case use the first two fingers of each hand and, beginning at the middle .of the bridges, press downward with the fingers and outward at the flare of the nostrils, using plentifully a fat tening cold cream or cocoanut or olive, oil. There is an art called rhinoplas ties, reshaping of features, by means of which a nose that is badly in need of reshaping, may be made over. By this nicuns even missing parts, lost during an injury or missing from birth, can bo re placed. Surgeons have successfully replaced bits of missing cartilage to improve the shape of tho nose, in Kngland and America defects in the shape cf tho nose, as, for instance, a sunken bridge, can be remedied by Injecting paraffin in a liquid state and letting it harden under the skin. This must be done by surgi cal means, and 1 cannot too em phatically remind you that you must be sure of your surgeon. Perhaps you have formed the un becoming habit of crinkling your nose when you lauh. Foolish per sons have referred to this as a piquant habit. On the contrary, it is vulgar, as is all grimacing, and It forms wrinkles ay surely as the habit of crinkling thu Jleih at-out the eyes forms crowsfeet. Bo stop the crinkling to avoid the wi'inkl.rg, and if the wrinkles are in process of forming or have formed, press lightly upon the muscles about the nose, with the first three lingers of each hand- Dip tho finger tips into cocoa butter, if it agrees w:ta your skin. If cot then into cocoa nut oil or any cold cream preferred. After pressing gently these muscles A RISING STAR. Farmer Wife i htar your son U making money out of hi voice at the opera.

Or a polypus may hivo formed within the walla of the none. I have known avoidance of fish and sausage to cure what seemed a chronic case of red nose, showing that the seat of the trouble was the digestive apparatus. In some In stances I have known electricity ap plied to the nose to adjust the circu lation that had been disturbed and so effect a cure. This was, of course, done by a physician. Should any one else attempt it she would doubtless do far more harm than good. In cases' that are not aggravated this may check the redness: ' Eau dc co ogne ..15 grams Powdered borax.. 11 grams Water 6 grams Or this: Orangcflower water 20 grame Rosewater 20 grams Borax 2 grams Moisten cctton with these and lay on the note scvoral times a day.

That Is what you Americans call "a large order." If yon have given the matter any thought you must know that ail these conditions do not proceed from the same cause. Or if they do that cause Is the un deniable one of neglect. I should ay that if your kln presents that varied appearance, you are not we l or that vou have not been well. The skin quickly reflects the State of health. If my skin looked like that I should first go to a physician and ask blm to prescribe a tonic. If you are rot able to do this, for I see thst yon live In a remote part of the country, treat yourself In Intelligent fashion. Eat nourishing foods, as rare roast beef and green vegetables. Drink much cool water between meals, sleep In a well ventilated room and take plenty of active exercise, especially out of doors. This ehould In time remove one cause of your discouraging com plexion, Indigestion, which doubtless eccounts for the blotched appearance and the pimples. If your skin is dry It Is because it Is not well supplied with oils. That lack you can remedy by patting nourishing oils or creame into It at night before re - tiring, or during the day before going out and exposing the Skin tne eun and wind.
