About Cutting the Nails

There is an old formula for pairing
the nails that runs as follows:
Cut them on Monday, cut them for
health.
Cut them ON Tuesday, cut them for
wealth.
Cut them ON Wednesday, cut for a
letter
Cut them on Thursday. for some
thing better.
Cut them on Friday. you cut for a
wife
Cut them on Saturday, cut for long
life.
Cut them on Sunday, YOU cut them
for evil
For all of that week you'll be ruled
by the devil.
Believe the adage or not, as you will
but on whichever day you cut your
nails let them at least be cut in the
right way. They should each be pared
or in one long slice. if possible, not
in chips Special. curved scissors are
sold which enable us to to cut on.
nails in long strips quite easily. Be
fore the nails are cut they should bt
soaked In hot water until they are
soft and pliable. In this mood they car
be cut and trimmed to better advantage
than when they are hard.

WOMAN'S REALM
Hints About the Teeth

THE dentists of this country" said
foreigner, may be the best in the
world. and their success in all other
countries has indeed proved that, but
it is nevertheless the fact that one sees
more gold In the mouths OF the women
here than can be found anywhere else
In the world. IL may be that dentistry
Is cheap and in the reach Of everybody
Whatever the reason this popularity
IS not a beauty cf American women,
ana IL the practice increases during the
next ten years as il has during the
past decade there viii still be more to
criticise in the looks of the women
saw an actress the other even ng
whose mouth might have served for a
dentists sign, 50 carefully were all Of
her teeth built up with gold She was
not supposed OF course TO be anything
beautiful and was a c0medlenne TO be
laughed at. Nevertheless, she would
have been very much more entertain
ing If the amount OF gold had not been
50 very apparent. In Europe many Of
the dentists have used with women the
new porcelain filings, which are white
and In nearly every way exactly like
the natural teeth. The great defect in
them is their frailness. They are very
likely, for instance, TO break after one
suddenly drinks cold water or drop out
CT the tooth as easily as If they had
never been put there to stay. The effect
while it lasts Is of course much more
likely to increase the appearance of the
mouth, but the system rs a substitute
OF metal has not been a success.
Every now and then one hears of
some new invention to take the place
OF gold. SO far they have all failed
Now a new formula has been discover
ed which is said to combine the visual
merits of The porcelain with the endur-
ing property OF gold. In that case
many women will have cause to be
grateful, and SO will men who are
weary with the sight of women with
gold in their mouths. A great many OF
them who stand in need OF this kind
OF treatment get in such a condition
through rubbing their teeth too much
and too hard. l read the other day OF
a man old enough to know better who
advised everybody to clean their teeth
three minutes twice a day. He said
that at least three minutes OF hard rub
bing was necessary, and as a shorter
time could produce no good results he
advised everybody to do this first by
the clock in order to get into the habit
A dentist told me that his would Ger.
tainly rub the enamel off the strongesi

bad as the idea some persons hav,
that a stiff toothbrush SO hard that q
is almost painful is the best kind. AZ
n matter Of fact, a toothbrush. to b,
properly used, should always be soaked
for several minutes-at least 10 anl
not more than 15-in a glass of water

better, but prove advantageous instead

Some of the stories she has written
are "A Study in Temptations, "A

These stories have clean and strong de-

She possesses the placid repose OF d

refined face, black eyes, with curling
