90 Mems Esteem-
The ordinary unmarried girl is often
most attractive to q man in her igno-
rance OF the world and its ways. IL
she let's il appear that she wants to
know little except such as he may wish
her to know, her charm, in his esteem.
Is bound to be increased. A man loves
to be exalted TO the position Of keeper
of u girls heart and mind. 1t adds 10
his ~sclf-esteem and gives him that sense
OF q vested interest in another's life
which reaches its climax in marriage.
But widows are in n different case.
They do rot allure by their ignorance.
4 dull widow repels men. But a spark
ling, bright, conversational and tactfu;
widow will, if she is young. prove most
| seducing to many members of the other
sex. Most men love innocence in i
woman more than aught else. But
there are others TO whom worldly en-
perience. especially if accompanied by
beauty and evident good nature. is far
stronger lure.
American widows excel in charming
mankind. It is only necessary TO think
OF the number of them who have be-
come part and parcel of English society
TO realize this. The American girl gets
more than her proper share OF mascu
line alteration in the states. l'erhap.
this makes the American widows so

sympathies than heart.
Unmarried girls may be iDsipid II

Eerience has taught her the way u

their hearts. Who like her can iiuttel
and tickle the vanity of the averag'
male? IL is no crime IN her: oh. dear
no! Men are vain and like TO be fiat

THE TEETH.

Persons whose teeth are ont of order
cannot properly masticate their food,
but swallow it nearly IL not quite
whole. 1t is easy to understand how
this sets up dyspepsia and other disor-
ders Of the digestive system.
Dental SERVICE has reached such a
state Of perfection that the skilled dem
list will treat and preserve for many
years use a mere shell OF a tooth. In
view of this fact il is a foolish proceed
ing to have teeth extracted that may
readily be saved.
The teeth are very important organs,
and no one can long remain healthy
who allows his or her teeth to gradually
decay and crumble. Taken care OF il
the beginning, even the most weakly
organized teeth car be preserved TO last
almost through life.
An nnsuspected source OF i'll health
in a great many adults and growing
children is dental decay. Decayine
teeth give off deleterious material
which is carried by the saliva dowr
into the stomach and thence into tn,
bowels TO poison the blood.
