MILADY'S NOSE

An English rector has raised an'-'ob-jection to lady worshippers powdering their noses during divine-service. He facetiously asks what would the audience of a theatre think if he took his shaving tackle along and used it in. the theatre.

The amiable modern characteristic i» observed everywhere, says the Auckland <:Star," although one has seen no manifestation of it in church. The common habit of manicuring one's finger nails may be a forecast of the glad day when suburban citizens will sprint for the bus with their shoes in their hands and assume them in comfort en route. A handy portable wash basin with soap, towel, and sponge would make a fortune for tho inventor. Personal niceness is becoming universal. For instance, not lie tap in hotel and club carefully scrubbing artificial dentures with the. common nailbrush, but' you 'may'occasionally see gentlemen, deprived of the said dentures, holding them over the mechanical drinking and stand pipes in the streets. Even more charming exhibitions of frankness are observed. Plate glass windows are excellent mirrors for ladies requiring a faint touch of poudre d'amour. What has happened to the female nose deponent knoweth not. It used to be held in granny's day that tight lacing indused that rosy nasal flush.
