are said to be beautiful. yet filthy, and her
face is not past the refining influence that
soap and water might exert upon it. Truly
the day for unwashed geniuses is not yet
over.
Never has jewelry been more the fashion

A young lady who by inheritance
possessed a marvelously perfect set OF
teeth was herself robust and of extremely
cleanly habits. She would come to me to
have her teeth cleaned when only the
closest scrutiny would detect the stains
which she wished removed. Up to the age
OF 10 she had never needed filling. About
that time she brought to my Office young
man whom she introduced as her fance.
He wished my professional services, and I
gave him an appointment An examina-
ton disclosed a filthy mouth. 1t was
necessary to use corrective agents before I
could tolerate the odor which was emitted.
Had it not been that he was to marry
girl whom 1 knew to be ideally hygienic 1
would never have given the cleansing OF his
teeth the amount OF attention which l did,
because recognized in him man careless
of his teeth and breath, who would be unap-
preciative of my efforts. 1t required four
sittings to get his teeth into semblance of
cleanness, and then he refused 10 have the

A year later was obliged to insert seven or

Why is it, we wonder, that stout women
almost in nvariably wear tightly fitting gowns?
1t is really fatal mistake. However sweet
and lovely is the face, if one sees q portlY
hust and large arms and-to say the least
rounded hips, all sheathed in perfectly
fitting, glove-tight dress, ones attention in
spite OF ones self is instantly attracted by
the smooth surface, aud the wonder arises
which is the vulnerable spot in the armor?
And if burst occurs, what would be the
result? Whereas, if the same beautiful and
gracious face surmounted soft drapings of
material artistically arranged, the embon-
point would become at once unnoticeable,
and would on the contrary add dignity to q
tall figure.
The thin woman certainly has her ad-
vantages, for she can pad and model the fig
ure to any required standard. Still, there
is the inevitable law of compensation, and
her stouter rival has generally the sweeter
face. Therefore. dear sisters, exelaims the
New York Tribune, who grleve over in
creased weight, remember your advantages,
and do not spoil your beauty by tight
squeezing and smooth fitting. The fat
beauties Of the East who were SO renowned
would not have been beauties If they had
discarded the flowing Eastern draperies and
donned a tailor-made gown.
Indigestion among children can be cured
BY carefully watching them and vigilsntly
