why" said a prominent dem
fist to a journal reporter, "a beau
tiful young lady came to me and in
sisted on having her really fine teeth
pulled out and false ones put in
their place. / protested that it
would be foolish, silly, senseless !;
but she said no, she would have
them out, and if would not do it
some other dentist would. "My
teeth are not fashionable" said
she; "they are too long, and short
little broad teeth like corn kernels
are all the fashion now, and no one
admires my mouth, and l will
have them" So / made her the
teeth, and they cost her just $500.
She couldn't see any one for two
weeks after l pulled out her own.
They were the upper ones only,
and | made them up with gold
plates for handsome young fellow
who had his own teeth Knocked
out in a base ball game. The
worst of it is that he is in love with
this very girl whose teeth he wears,
and she knows they are hers. just
