Kate Jordan's Gossip of Fact and Fad For
the Fair Sex.
Why do my lady's teeth decay so
much earlier than her mothers and so
very much earlier than her grandmoth-
er's? Scarcely woman can be found
without gold filing in many teeth, even
if it is not visible, and from the legions
who have been forced to the horrible
creations known as false sets" deliver
us. According TO dentist, the reasons
are many. In this country there Is little
or no lime In the water, Americans eat
tons OF sweetmeats and are devotees of
pie. A great many think hurried scour-
ing with a wet brush sufficient every
morning, and meanwhile the interstices
OF the teeth become thickened with all
sorts of ruinous refuse matter that cor
rodes and discolors. Try using a fairly
hard brush twice a day with a good pow
der made Of camphorated chalk and orris
After every meal run piece of waxed
dental floss between the teeth-this may
be found at the toilet counter of any
large shop-say goodby to candies for
ever and make periodical renunciations
of pastries and drugs.
These are the days for equestrians /
notice that black is the popular color
for the habit this spring, and anything
more natty than this with a scarlet
waistcoat, q lustrouS white silk cravat
and a mannish boutonniere in the lapel
would be hard to find. The derby is still
popular, but nothing is SO becoming as
the regulation pot hat
There is a revolt of English girls
against the chaperon and the maid. Ev-
cry one knew this would come some
day, and now the rebellion is here The
English girl has grown to see the alb
surdity Of having to take every step
abroad under a watcher or bodyguard
This state of affairs has really been re-
sponsible for many loveless marriages
IN England. 1t became question of es-
Gaping from the rigor of an uncongenial
home and the slavery of the unmarried
state. Miss Pretty Face has to have her
maid with her from the house to the
shop, the chaperon at every fete or rout.
She did not breathe save under surveil-
lance of some sort. But Miss Pretty
Face marries and becomes Mrs. Go
Ahead. All, witness the diferencel She
can go anywhere alone, drive in han
som, even go without her husband to
ball, and, more than this, the men flock
around her as they never did when she
was prim Miss Pretty Face. The English
girls have mentally digested this prob
lem and have decided to obtain liberty
without making the sacrifice to self re-
spect demanded by an uncongenial mar
rage. Good luck to them, say II
Peach pink is to be very popular col
or this summer. 1t is almost pretty
enough to eat in the gauzy organdies
displayed. A very good combination is
peach pink and faint dove gray.
Would you believe it that in New
York, that great big progressive town,
at the end of the nineteenth century there
is little negro man who makes good
living by invoking all the black art at
tached to voodooism in the behalf of
lovelorn ladies or forsaken wives? One
almost becomes ashamed of ones sex at
such a discovery. Women fairly flock
to him. He makes the troubled one send
forth an invocation to the immortal spir-
its to give her back her love- This is
written in blood, and the poor idiot sits
obediently with her feet on a skull, a
naked sword under her chair.
IF you want to keep the throat white
and soft, close collars should never be
worn. These make the skin yellow, and
after year of this binding thin neck
will be found to be thinner.
Belts disfgure the form at the waist
line. The girdle dropping low in front
adds to grace and makes waist longer.
1t is wonderful how accepted the fash
ion Of parting the hair in the middle
has become. It was rare thing to see
woman with this couture two years ago.
Now it is almost universal But hard
~ think the severe plastered style that
was really in vogue in 1880 Will ever
be revived. The sense of beauty is too
strongly developed now, and the severe
parting is relieved by dossy tendrils ON
the brow or soft waved bands.
The black silk coat, with frou frou
of lace or silk half bodice worn under
meath, is popular and economical A
very pretty one displayed in a Broad
way shop was made of crusted lustrous
silk, lined with lettuce green taffeta
Quite apart from this is the vest made
on foundation like q mans waistcoat
This was of the delicate green yelled in
draped folds of softest black tulle. The
collar was of velvet to match the vest,
and at the left side a pin, representing
a green lizard with green eyes, was CO.
1uettishly stuck
The superstitious say that to wear
moonstone on the middle finger of the
left hand will surely bring luck.
To make your skin white lay peroxide
Of hydrogen on with small silk sponge
once q week This is absolutely harm
less, yet an excellent bleach. Be sure
10 rub it off after few moments.
