Look at Your Nose.
Nothing is more rare than a really perfeet nose: that is. one which unites harmony of form correctness of proportion. and proper affinity with the other features. The following are. according to the rules of art. the conditions requisite to the beauty of this organ: The nose should have the same length as the forehead and have a slight depre—ion at it- root. From its root to its extremity it should follow a perfectiv straight line, and c?me exactly over the centre of the upper lip. The bridsre of the nose, parallel on both sides, should be a little wider in the centre. The tip should be neither too thin nor too fleshy, and its lower outline neither narrow nor too wide. The lobes must be gracefully defined by a slight depression. Seen sideways the lower part of the nose will have but a third of its total length.
