A DIAMOND IN YOUR TOOTH.

From the n. Y Mdi and Erpress.
The latest fad among inspiring &C
tresses and certain society damsels is a
diamond in one of the front teeth.
"a well-known actress first divulged
the project to me-" a dentist said. "She
came IN one day greatly excited. She
wanted to know if she could have a
diamond placed in the center of her
most conspicuous front tooth. The
proposition was SO novel and unique
that | was staggered for the moment.
But business is always business, you
know, and | placldly remarked that
such thing could be done. She wanted
to know the cost and how soon | could
finish the work, ard whether she would
have to sit in the dental chair many
hours. | told her she wouldn't have to
sit long in the chair, only long enough
tor me to saw off two-thirds of the
tooth in which she wanted the diamond
set.''
fWhat !" she exclaimed, "can't you
put the diamond in without extracting
the tooth ?" | told her the diamond
would have to be put in false tooth,
y-1,,1l 81
decay. | should cut off two thirds
Of the natural tooth, place the diamond
in false tooth two thirds the regular
size, and pivot that on the third of the
natural tooth that remained. No one
would ever suspect that any part of the
tooth was false, and the gem would
sparkle like a beacon all the time.
reminded her that If the diamond was
put into the natural tooth it could not
be removed. She would have to go
along the street scintilating dazzling
rays. But she could remove the false
tooth any time, and by having dupli-
cate made she could keep the diamond
out of her mouth, except when she ap-
peared in public. 1 considered that
would be better both for herself and for
the diamond"
"Did she leave the order?"
''She did, and there is the tooth all
ready for the diamond. Keep your eye
on a popular actress at one OF the
theaters where burlesques are produced
and you will get dazzling CLEAN from
the row of incisors when she sings be-
fore long. Since | got her order l have
had halt dozen more, and one of m,
fashionable colleagues dropped in yes
terday and said he had just received an
order. Mark my words, it won't be
long before the big craze among Ger,
tain women will be diamonds in the
front teeth
