THE BEST DENTRIFICE NTHE WORLD ,,

Antoine went ncarer-the bill bore the
name of q New York printing house.
Then it was over there in America that
they had taken Jeanne's portrait, and
this portrait was used to advertise the pro-
ducts of an industrial exotic.
at is very stupid" said Antoine to
himself; but he could not keep frnn, gazs
ing at the portrait and saying she was
very pretty.
AS the new bill attracted great deal
of attention, Antoine was compelled to
listen to the comments upon her beauty,
as if the opinion of such boobies amounted
to anything
This day his fiancee did not appear SO
attractive, and he discovered that she had
two crooked teeth, which he had not
noticed before; however he would give it
no attention, as incisors did not constitute
happiness. He even reproached himself
for tho Impression Jeanne's portrait had
made upon him, saying ~ wonld pass
off next day." But the next day and
many days following it it was the same
thing.
The firm of Ro' inson, Jr, advertised
rieaine'-incessaut, persistent
advertising, taking all shapes and cover
ing all places. Tbs most careless eye
could not avoid seeing them.
At the door of the tobbaco shops, in all
the omnibus bureaus and wine shops was
the same smiling head and the same bill
stretched Qut. Then il WAS the turn of
the papefsi on all the fourth pages a plate
appeared, an imperfect reproduction, u
was true, of the colored bill, still sufii-
GENTLY strong to more than recall the
memory of Jeanne. 1t became q perfect
craze-an aggravation-and at last an in
cident occurred which heaped to the full
Antoine;s measure of irritation.
One evening at the h9Ese of his fiancee,
q little nephew, the spoiled darling Of ths
house, amused himself playing with some
empty boxes covered with the brilliant
pictures, and these boxes had contained
s'Fhs best pentifrice in the World-the
Dentifrics of Robinson, JILL the portrait
of Jeanne with that eternal smile always
the beautiful ornament on the top. An
tome could control himself no longerj
with a movement of impatience he sent the
boxes here and there. The child began
to cry: the young girl took the part of the
child; the father took the part of the
young gill land as Antoine, his nerves
all on edge, promptly replied to this
weeping family. the discussion grew hot
and ended in q grand quarrel,
There was no marriage, and, thinking
it over, Antoine, though o little yexed,
could not prevent himself from saying:
"These people were bad tempered, and
doubtless he had made happy escape. !"
Under the influence of all these Incl
dents he finally determined to Leave Paris,
He would go and rent q little hut in the
atskirts of the city; there he would re:
gain his tranquility and at least AVOID
seeing the papers. Heweuld walk In fhes
fields or the woods and fog inteltectaa!
amusement play 'scup and ball.
Just in front of the house which he
rented there was great white wall
whose reflections had frequently annoyed
him, One day he saw some workmen
suspend from it 2 seaifal4 and begin &C
cover the waIl with acoat Of blue. This
did not distress Antoine in' the lsasf-!
