For a Girl OF Modest Means.

Absolute simplicity is the best end
suftest rule for the girl of modest
means. Let her have but few dresses,
but these good and neat, 70 as to look
well to the last. In the quietest life,
however, fbhappenst that occasions arise
when something more festive is re-
quhed. Very useful at such times it
proves TO have a pretty collarette or
fronteasily adjusted over a plain gown.
and while not costly, yet smart and
becoming. For a home dinner or a
small evening party, or any modesta and
unpretentous entertainments for which
full dress issnot de rigeur, something of
the kind is essential.

FOR BEAUTIFUL TEETH.
A Few Simple Suggestions Concerning
the Care OF Them.

A Few Simple Suggestions Concerning
the Care OF Them.
AS the month is said by physiognom,
lists to be the surest indication of q
woman's character, so it is also the
keynote, as it were, of her personal
habits. Hard, cracked lips, stained
with black, and indifferently kept teeth,
tell their own tale of carelessness and
neglect.
The first defect comes from an ugly
habit of biting the lips, or, it may be,
of fever. The former may be remedied
by exercise of will power, and the evil
denceS of the latter removed by a night
ly application of pure, cold cream or
vaseline, says the Philadelphia Re
corder. The teeth are more difficult to
deal with. The most importantitem in
their care is a yearly visit to a reliable
dentist, whose services are absolutely
necessary to health, as uncared-for
teeth, by their action upon the food,
affect the stomach, and so the whole
system.
But, besides the yearly or semi-yearly
visit to the dentist, there must be I'M
renting individual care. A soft tooth
brush should be used night and norm
ing, and, when circumstances permit,
after every meal. A good tooth-wash
or powder is necessary to perfect clean
liness; charcoal or precipitated chalk
are harmless and inexpensive, and may
be freely used.
At least once in two weeks the teeth
should be thoroughly cleansed by a
rubbing process. To do this dip a small
hickory stick, which must be softened
at the end, into chalk or ground pumice
stone, and rub carefully owe the entire
surface of the teeth, particularly the
inside and upper portion of the large
molars, where there is usually a de-
posit from the various secretions of the
mouth.
Dental floss should be used to remove
all particles of food; the use of a tooth
pick is not only an offense against good
taste, but is also injurious, as it loosens
the filings of the teeth and bruises the
gums as well.
Charcoal is invaluable as a dentifrice.
1t whitens the teeth and removes any
unpleasant taste of a disordered stem-
ach. A few drops of tincture of myrrh
in a glass of water is an excellent mouth
wash, while listerine as an all-round
purifier and antiseptic for the mouth

~TRANSvAAL COURTING.
Prospective Bridegrooms Use Their Eyes,
But Talk Very Little.

The Beers marry very young. On
attaining the age of 90 a youth begins
to look out for a partner in life.
Balls and similar opportunities of
introduction are unknown in the coun-
try; the young peasant, accordingly
mounts his horse and rides from farm to
farm to select O bride from the daugh-
tiers of the land.
You tell from a distance what he is
after. His wooden shirt is adorned with
d clean collar, perhaps a necktie as well.
His boots of Unframed leather have
been polished with particular care, his
brOad-brimmed felt hat is trimmed with
a new band of pale blue silk, and a new
bright-colored rug is placed under his
saddle.
Away he gallops to the next farm,
where he dismounts, drinks a few liters
| of coffee, smokes q dozen pipes, takes
three meals with the family, devours
the daughters with his eyes, and talks
as little as possible.
After shutdown, when the lights have
been brought into the room and the
family are preparing to retire to rest,
he plucks up courage and asks the
mother to allow Minnie, OF whatever the
selected ones name is, to stay up with
him a little longer.
Permission is at NICE granted; Min
ME bashfully RENTERS the parlor, puts
q lighted candle on the table, sits down
in n corner, and says nothing.
Our sutton sits in another corner,
smokes, expectorates, and says not a
word. Nevertheless, Minnie, sly puss as
she is, has contrived to let her admirer
know whether she likes him or not by
the size of the candle. The longer IL Is
the longer they may sit up together.
Next morning the Boer saddles his
horse and rides off to another farm
where the same process isgone through
and 50 on till he has made up his mind
which of the girls he will nave. Where
upon he rides back TO her farm, again
sits up half the night and, without
wasting many words, makes her an
offer, which is very seldom rejected
The wedding is celebrated on the fol
lowing Sunday.

Peculiarly Wei suited to the Popular
Blue and White Room.
Even the hottest days may develop
& draft. In every family there is apt
to be one member at the least who is
susceptible to currents of air that sweep
around and enter through open
dsorways; therefore a screen is desir-
able quite as much during the long
summer days as when closed windows
and steam make the winter home into
a dollhouse.
The design shown in this illustration
is intended for homemaling and is pc
culiarly well suited to the popular blue

and delft decoration is still an active
one, and for warm weather use no bet
ter, cooler scheme of color can be de-
vised.
The model from which the brewing
was made has a threefold frame of bam-
boo. A similar n or one of white
enamel can be purchased for a small
sum. The material used for the panel
is heavy unbleached cotton cloth or
muslin, but cotton sheeting or any
heavier stuff of warm cream color can
be used if preferred. The advantage of
the simpler material lies in it's cheap
ness, combined with durability and
good tone.

could not stand on the Chicago plat
