= impossibe TO conceive of beauty in
woman without a set or regular, white,
wel-shaped teeth, and it is true that with
sverv other feature of the classic mold
with beautiful eyes, well-formed lips,
skin OF roses and lilies, a magnificent
head of brown or golden tresses, the
sboulders and bust of Hebe and the
limbs Of a Diana-a woman stands or falls
Nv the beauty or defects of her teeth.
Won NAV admire all her other features,
Won NAV dwell on her grace Of contour
and revel in the delicate lines of god
dess-like form, let the pretty mouth open
10 disclose discolored, misshapen, and,
above all, decayed teeth, and all your
admiration is forgotten. The mental ex-
clamation is always the same-what hid
eOus teeth!
The other side of this picture is a much
more agreeable one, and we must agree
that a beautiful set of even, white teeth
is of infinite charm. Many and many an
otherwise commonplace face has been re-
deemed by a mouth full Of brilliant white
teeth Monin, the distinguished hyglen-
ist says. There is nothing in the world
so enhancing as a woman's smile when
it displays two even rows OF pearls. Per
feet teeth are compact, regular, smooth,
and of pearly Wilderness; the front teeth
Of the perfect set are moderately small.
The fortunates who are possessed of such
teeth are usually very good tempered"
It's pretty early for moonlight bathing.

now as any time, and besides the cod
makes excuses, for the sand dances after
that are just now so popular. 1t is said
that a double guard of chaperons is neces-
sary TO make these affairs admissible, but
if the chaperones are selected with care
they need not dampen the occasion, and,
anyhow, every one is so wet that the
dampness a chaperone can fling isn't ma
terial. If a girl is a graceful dancer IN

on her heels in a bath suit, and while

dancing it is nothing to be compared with
a really hard sand beach. Besides, some
Of the hotels are putting up moveable
platforms, TO be used for dancing pur-
poses. on the beach. Moonlight parties do
their dressing at the hotel, and with The
guard of chaperones and maids and ali
the intending bathers in their mufaing
bathrobes take their way to the shore.
The maids carry dancing slippers for
their mistresses, and a pretty feature of
tie affairs is the drying of the pretty feet
and tucking them all bare into the slip
pers. If a girl is not real sure of her feet
her maid or her chaperone does this for
her, but If her feet are too pretty to be
suppressed, why, the obliging escort who
asks her to change the surf for the dance
is impressed into service.
II is quite a new idea to take partners
for dip" but the rules of these parties
require that a maiden shall not go into the
surf, unless invited thereto by one of the
men, and she is supposed to remain there

Wted to dance by another man. OF course,
the girls who keep trotting first into the
water and then to the floor" are the
bellies, and it is an awful thing to be taken
into the water and then have to be brought
oack by the same man and then dumped
On the sand for lack of a dancing part
ner If this happens the girl always pre-
lends that she is cold and is obliged to
cut short her festivities, but it is noticed
