PRETTY mouths should have pretty teeth
in them, but ii is not unusual to see between
rosy lips teeth discolored and decaying
through neglect. This disiguring defect
should be repaired without delay by using
fragrant SOZODONT, which removes every
particle of tartar from the teeth and renders
them snowy white. This admirable aid to
beauty is perfectly harmless and eXhales a
most delightful aroma, and is in every re-
and powders. Try it and see for yourself

THREE reasons why every one needs, and
should take, Hoods Sarsaparilla in the
spring: First, because the system is now in
its greatest need. Hoods Sarsaparilla gives
strength. Second, because the blood is
sluggish and impure. Hoods Sarsaparilla
purifes Third because, from the above
facts, Hoods Sarsaparilla will do a greater
amount of good now than at any other
time. Take it now.

THE event Of the second week of the sec
ond month of the present year was the re-
ception given by DIR. and Mrs. Wiswell Or,
perhaps, 1t might be called jolly house
warming OF the spacious mansion that had
been as long approaching completion AZ was
the temple of old. Three hundred invita-
tions were issued; two hundred eighty came
in, and still there was room. The extreme
cold without was at once forgotten on COM
nag in contact with the summer-like air
within. No one, looking at the mechanical
work. could fail to see at once that it had ali
been designed and executed under the eye
OF one OF taste and thoroughly skilled, not
only in medicine and surgery but in that
artistic skill which but few possess-the
cherry and black walnut in the parlor being
so interviewer and richly polished as to form
beautiful finish for the eye to rest upon
The dado, two feet high from the floor, is
nicely finished. A rich Wilton carpet covers
the floor, and the furniture is made of cherry,
upholstered with plush. The chandeliers
and hanging lamps are all of the most APP
proved patterns. These furnishings were
all purchased from one of the most reliable
houses in Boston, and show taste in selec-
ton in Keeping with the finishings. The
water arrangements are perfect, hot and
cold water being conveyed not only to the
large and commodious bath room but also
to MANY of the other rooms. The library ia
to be upon the second floor, and when COM
pleted and furnished, will be an interesting
place for the lover of books to pass an hour
or more. The old-fashioned room is upon
the third floor. This is to be furnished in
good old style of yore, and already contains
the old fireplace, wood-basket, spinning
| wheel, chairs, etc, which are but small
part of the interesting relics here to find a
resting place. The company assembled ap-
| peared determined to make it a festive occa-
sion that should not only be remembered by
! the guests, but by the host and hostess.
! For this purpose they entered at once into
chatting, visiting, promenading, etc. At
ten o'clock bountiful repast of cake, coffee
| and fruit was partaken OF, which served to ex-
| tend the occasion, with many, into the short
hours, when all dispersed, leaving their
good wishes for the happiness and comfort
of the occupants of the mansion. - Last
week their daughter, Miss Gertie, issued her
cards for reception, which was held on the
evening of the 9th. Ninety-fve assembled.
A number of letters were received express
ing regrets of those out of town at their ina
| bility to be present. Seven pieces of the
Marshtield band were present and discoursed
sweet music during the evening. As at the
former reception, all present voted it one OF
the most enjoyable occasions of the season
And still, we hear, the end is not yet.
