GOLDTEETA NOT ALL GOLD.
often Are Removable Shells. Worn
TO Make Show.


I'D hate to pay that woman'S dentist
bills" said 4 business man to friend
on a South Side l. train the other day.
Across the aisle from the men was a
woman who showed enough gold every
time she opened her mouth to make
man want to leave home ana try his
fortunes in the Nlondike. Two of her
upDer teeth had been replaced by
pieces of FURNISHED metal, and one Of
her lower teeth also had % carat
sheen about it. Her companion had
only one gold tooth, but she kept it
doing the work of three by constant
smile.
THAT'S another case of the old adage,
All that glitters is not gold said the
business mans friend "One of the
dental novelties makes gold teeth pos
sible to any one ut n small cost and
without even sacrificing healthy in
cisor to make room for the metal. For
n quarter You can get shell that can
be stuck over any front tooth, and with
an excuse to smile you can present Il
regular gold mine to the astoniShed
public.
Actresses first affected the gold
tooth, and then tie Yankee man got
an idea. In Il short time there was an
epidemic of gold teeth. The novelty
man came out with his plated shells
and sold them like hot cakes No one
but the dentist has any kick against
the imitation gold tooth, and as a daz-
zIer it is hard to beat. That woman's
teeth may be the real stuff. but L be-
lieve she can slip them off when she
wants to and get them plated when
they get furnished. Inter
