Fixes Teeth under Fire.

Private Emmet j. Craig, of the
hospital corps, is probably the only
dentist in the civilized world who en-
joys the reputation of doctoring teetk
under fire, and the second division is
probably the only organization of the
army which can boast the services Of
a first-class dentist on the firing line.

Painting in Enahion.

The golf-playing society girl is no
more. This winter tho excessively
feminine, shrinking. clinging, easily
rainting, quickly moved to tears young
woman is the mode and the social
power. If you have debutante
daughter who insists Oh rushing
about windy links wearing broad
nibbed shoes, encouraging milkmaid
color and big waist, look out for her
future. Men and society at large
have grown weary Of the self-reliant,
healthy, sinewy, muscled girl. The
one who knows the side of her society
bread on which the butter of success
and good matrimonial chance lies is
O perfect sensitive plant, as frail of
constitution as violet. Her waist
has suddenly shrunk from twenty-six
to nineteen inches in circumference,
her feet are no longer garbed in pig
skin hobnails, but the highest heeled,
thinnest soled shoes she can find, and
she is able to drift off 10 the most be-
witching swoon when her pet dogs
illness declares itself or the dress
maker keeps her standing longer than
three minutes at time. She dares
not trust herself beyond the limits of
her own sitting room without a pair
of tiny crystal iewel-topped TASKS
strung on her neckchain. One holds
powerful salts and the other sol vola-
tile, and the men who became pro-
fcient in carrying golf clubs and
pumping up the tires for fair damsels
are now learning how to apply these
two potent antidotes for fainting tits.
Added to this pathetic fragility nearly
every miss and matron in society pos
sesses some pet and particular affiic-
ton and does wonders with her suf-
fering to render it appealing and be-
witching to the strong, stupid mascu-
lines who never see the innocent hy-
pocrisy under the light mask OF in
validism. Chicago Record.

wane OF the Poinpadour.

There ore rumors that the days of
the pompadour are numbered, and
femininity is in a. great state and
there is a to-do among the girls and
women such as the wane Of no other
style of hairdressing has ever called
forth before.
Do men ever realize the dreadful
torture women put themselves to in
order to be fascinating? 1t seems
not, or they would not be SO satirical
in their remarks on the many clrnges
of women's modes. But really every
turn of capricious Dame Fashions
wheel means hours and hours Of work
for the poor women.
These same slaves of fashion, often
after infnite tribulation and days and
months of patient effort, succeeded in
getting their tresses in just the proper
condition of training required by the
pompadour roll. It has been no small
matter to get the pompadour in proper
trim, and now all that time has prac-
tically been thrown away.
The edict is said to ecomlng from
Paris which will inIist upon q
woman parting her hair in tho middle.
Such vision as this rnmor calls forth
none but G woman whose hair has
been rolled back for nearly two years,
and who has tried to get pretty,
even white part, can understand.
The hair will obstinately persist in
not staying parted, and really the
only remedy which seems to be left to
the would be up to date woman is to
90 to bed with her hair carefully
parted and plenty OF bandoline, and
then, whisper it softly, for a little
while she will have to wear some
thing tied tight around her head, un-
Ill the refractory tresses take unto
themselves the desired parting.

A New Fancy in Hats.

The velvet hat is by all odds the
most fashionable for this season, but
is so beautifully and fancifully made
that it loses the clumsy look we as
sociate with anything OF velvet. Folds
on inch in width, but overlapping
each other so as to look only half their
width. are made OF bias velvet and
form the entire hat. These folds are
applied the same as straw braid, ex-

(From the BRocET0N TIMES, oct. III, 1871!
Brocktons prosperity is 80 closely allied
to the prosperity OF the shot industry that II

per week. This was not an extraordinary
week. 1t was the customary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however,
does not always tell the story Of prosperity.
The number of weeks employed each year is
the determining factor in tho wage earners'
prosperity. The Douglass factory has been
Closed but one week this year, and that for
the usual summer stock taking. and 1t will be
closed but three days the latter part of De.

of the year that the factory is closed, which
is surely as steady work IS the oStinduStri-

in connection with the autumn bridali
have appeared at the fashionable wed

interesting surprises are promised fol
approaching nuptials. At the first

Roderick Cameron's son married o

ants save the best man and one page
lent their assistance at the altar. The
page, small boy in highland dress,
bore in one hand small crimson vel

took place at the brides house, he
stood beside tie officiating clergyman
to offer the golden circlet at the all

use of the word "rosin," applied to

told, she may have the kindest OF
hearts and the brightest of minds, but
unless she has absolute control of her
feelings there will be some time in
her career as hostess that she will dis
play annoyance or furry, and the
contagion spreading to her guests will
cause an otherwise successful enter
tainment to die out in undisguised
failure, says the Philadelphia Times.
A model hostess must to all appear
ances be made all of good humor so
far as disagreeable happenings are
concerned. Even though a guest or
careless waiter inadvertently breaks a
bit of china which can never be re.
replaced, she must smile on as though
the loss of the entire set would but
emphasize the pleasure OF the even
ing. Her 'well-bred calm inspires
her guests with a feeling OF conf
fidence, and though in her heart she
may be very dubious about certain
important details Of her dinner or
dance, if she does not show her anx-
iety everything will pass off to
happy conclusion. A hurried hostess
or nervous host, whose countenances
but sadly conceal the worry they feel,
can do more toward making the guest
uncomfortable than if the soup were
stone cold and the salad dressing
were ruined by too bountiful quan'
tity of vinegar. An imperturbabls
calm and ready tact are the two i'm
portant factors in the making OF a
model hostess. Secure these and you
need never fear for the success of any
of your future entertainments.

Women Are Failures mt Shopping.


"It is a singular thing that with
the amount of shopping done by WON
en- they should continue to shop so
badly-badly, mean, in the sense OF
shopping with au absolute lack OF
system" writes Edward Box i'll the
Ladies' Home Journal. 'Here and
there we meet woman to whom God
seems to have given logical mind
which she applies to her shopping.
But Us q general thing the assertion
that women shop with an utter lack Of
system is unfortunately all too easy OF
proof. And curiously enough, it il
not alone those behind the counter
who suffer, for the women themselves
make their shopping doubly hard BY
their lack of system. The percentage
of women who love to shop and thos'
who hate shopping seem about equal
so far as can make out. The methods
which both employ, however, are
pretty much the same, the only
marked difference apparently being
the entire absence of all method in the
one case and the existence of only a
very poor method in the other. Take
o hundred women who 60 for days
shopping and it is! perfectly safe ti
say that ninety Of them will have not
the slightest idea of what they want.
