tieles and where 70 Rind Them.
In the neat and elegant appearance Of the
number Of ladies and gentlemen one meets
on the streets Of Wheeling every afternoon,
1t Is likely that one rarely thinks what 1t Is,
and to what agency can directly be ascribed
this same neat appearance, Those carefully
arranged heads Of hair were brought about
by the use Of brush; those milk white teeth
that are displayed between smiling lips as
acquaintance meets Acquaintance, were made
so by the use Of brush; the clothes without
Speck Of dust, are so because brush has been
carefully used; the boots, shining like mirror,
have also been treated to the brushing pro-
cess; that gsntleman's silk hat, that glistens
In the sun, has had q brush In con-
tact with It's fur, and his smooth chin
shows that the brush has also been passed
over II, and SO one might go on, ad igfHitlgg.
To the brush then, may chiefly be due the
credit OF the nice appearance ofour bellies and
beaux, backed, 1t Is true, by muscular efforts.
No lady's or gentleman's toilet table Is COM
plete without at least half dozen brushes,
and it Is the purpose OF the writer, in this ar
tiCle, to inform his readers where these most
important adjuncts to ones good looks can
be obtained In the greatest variety, In the
first place brushes are Of no recent invention,
although who the inventor was not known,
but one finds in Shakespeare, in much Ado
About NOrthing," Don Pedro while Convers'
ing with Claudio over Benedick, ascribes his
belief that that person Is In love to the fact,
that The brushes his hat o. morning.; It Ia
true, however, that different varieties have
sprung up, and that the place to secure the
very latest and best articles out, Is ut Book
ing's popular emporium OF drugs, toilet and
fancy goods, corner OF Twelfth and ChaplinG
streets,
Briefly then, and to come to the point, Mr.
Booking has the largest collection one car
find In the State. In tooth brushes he hai
over 200 varieties and styles ranging in price
from 10 to 90 cents This Is something tina
all should possess what more ugly and sick
ening than yellow teeth, while the possessol
suffers untold agony over cavities In thu
molars that need not have been had he Judi
ClOuSly used o tooth brush. This sight i
only equaled by dirty finger nails and ragged
hang nails that plainly indicate no mai
brush has been used. Mr.. Booking has
full and complete assortment OF these almOs
necessary brushes and In addition has 10
the ladies use SOME charming little nail sets
In fact, what he has, In the brusl
line, Is simply-everything, The dis
play Of hair brushes quite amazes one, tn
styles are endleSs-theFe Is the electric, eel
luloid, ivory, inlald, buffalo, Florence, rub
her, diatlte, solid backs, wire, infant and al
the Others from the cheapest to the costliest
Several Of them are in neat leather or plush
satin lined cases. A pretty novelty Is

silver plated handle ut the end OF which, !
an arrangement whereby the plush back cal

when the plush wears out II can DO removed
and new piece inserted. 1t is' q beautiful
