This is in itself wonderful discipline.

And so 1t is; only madame or
mademoiselle must have the good
sense to determine beforehand
whether her physique be evenly ball

enough to stand the steady, gradual
development as a whole. or whether
there are weak points which must be
guarded and brought first to a normal

Artificial Teeth.
Ibid you ever notice how many
American young women have false
teeth nowadaysgr said a well kno wn
dentist to a Philad elphia Inquirer
man. Perhaps you never have, but
it is a fact all the same, though the
fair wearers use every means to pre-
vent their detection, especially by
their male friends. 1t is quite
safe to calculate that out of every
twenty American young women Il
mean those moving in the fashionable
society of our great cities at least five
have entire sets, while the others will
exhibit partial sets, or it will be dem
onstrated on examination that their
natural teeth have been filled and
manipulated very extensively. Ifyou
doubt my assertions, go into any ball
room of the elite in the season, or at
tend any prominent society reception
and see for yourself.
You doubtless think it strange
that the teeth, being such a prime
factor IN woman's beauty, should be
so neglected, and it is strange, consid-
ering the prevailing but pardonable
vanity of the fair sex on the subject of
personal appearance. But, neverthe-
less, there is a way of accounting for
it, and that Is upon the basis of the
laziness of the average fash
ionable Late hours in the
winter season, when the theatres, the
opera and all the tony social aInuse-
ments are in full blast, are responsible
in fact for this laziness, which might
perhaps rather be styled chronic wear
mess, and the dread work OF coinplet-
ing the Transformation of the society
young lady into a confirmed idler is
done during the summer by the hab-
it's engendered at the watering places
and other heated term resorts of the
creme de la creme.
''The teeth should be thoroughly
cleaned on arising in the morning and
on retiring for the night, but they are
frequently given the go by altogether
or brushed at irregular periods, and
thus tartar and decay get n lead,
which they steadily maintain until
the precious teeth, though occasion
ally patched up by a dentist, are
ruined beyond repair.
"Of course, all intelligent ladies are
aware OF the Importance of cleaning
their teeth, and are sadly annoyed
and frightened when they are con
PEELED to have false ones put in; but
all this does not seem to teach them
prudence, and every year it is the old
story over again, but with a decidedly
progressive tendency"
