Princess FrOck.
A princess frock is particularly nice for
young girl. Made with a pretty fichu of
lace Or muslin over the shoulders, 1t needs
no other trimming than an insertion and
piece of lace or something of that sort to
finish the lower part Of the skirt.
For young children gowns with short
skirts and long waists are becoming.
| Usually the waists are pointed a trifie in
the front. A sash or twist of ribbon en-
circles the body. -,
Dresses of embroidered india mal look

pretty afternoon gown.

In the shape of col1;0. a girdle and per-
haps band upon the skirt Is stylish for
a girl of from twelve to fifteen years of
age. An organdie skirt, with deep point
ed f1ounce trimmed with insertions and
laces, looks well with bloused waists very
much pointed in the front The skirt may
be laid in tucks three or four stitched ones
alternating with a portion of plain cloth.
Embroidered Collars.
Waists tucked and laid in very full lines
need no other trimming than lace or en-
broidered collar. Sleeves should come to
the elbows and be further developed by dia-
phanous f1ounces. Wolfe frocks are most
satisfactory when made up with great sim
plicity. One on exhibition in a smart shop
was ornamented with rows of shirring
around the collar and on the yoke. A bo-
lero of fancy silk was cut very short over
full bodice of the voie. Several small
ruffies about the lower part Of the skirt
gave 1t the necessary swing and fulness.
A nuns yelling frock for a society miss
may very well be made up with pointed
yoke of lace framed in fichu of silk mus
lin. The skirt should be plain or adorned
with only two lace frils, while a sash of
fine silk shade darker than the gown en-
circles the waist.

beautiful woman loses half her power
Of attraction If she have poor teeth, while
one plain of feature is able to charm If she
have fine ones. So important a part, in
deed, do teeth play in a woman's appear
ance that history has been made by them,
for have we not often been reminded that
If one front tooth had been taken from
Helen's mouth there had never been a siege
of Troy and the Iliad had never been writ
ten?
Some one who takes a gloomy view of life
tells US that the only way to secure good
set of teeth is to begin with our ancestors,
four generations back There are several
grains of truth in this statement, but let
us not be wholly discouraged If ancestors
have failed to do their duty by us in this
respect AS to the color Of the teeth, vary
ing as 1t does in different cases, we may
be certain that the color is that which best
harmonizes with the complexion of the in
dividual. Pearly white teeth go with a
very white skin, while the deeper-toned
teeth-Which are the Strongest-are found
in the mouth Of the brunette.
The first requisite for sound teeth is good
health; If the health is poor all the organs
of the body become weakened as to be
readily attacked by disease. The second
requisite Is thorough maStication of the
food. Modern cookery has largely dis
pensed with the use of teeth, obviating the
necessity of mastication to a great extent.
The result is a defective tooth formation,
the great predisposing cause of decay. Too
much of our food is prepared in liquid or
soft condition, and too much liquid is taken
into the mouth with dry food.
Decay begins Outside.
All decay of the teeth begins from the
outside. no such thing as internal decay
ever having been demonstrated; hence If
the surface could be kept absolutely clean,
no decay could take place. Three tooth
brushes should always be kept ON the toilet
table. One should be rather hard, one

moderately soft, while the third should be
small and round with curve in the han
die, so as to get into every corner Of the
mouth, both before and behind the teeth.
In brushing the teeth, the proper way Is
to brush and clean them from the gums
downward, for the upper teeth, and from
the gums upward for the lower teeth. BY
this method the bristles go between the
teeth, touching their approximating sur
faces, as well as cleaning the front and
sides of the teeth. 1t is not less important
to brush downward on the roof surface of
the upper teeth and upward oA the lingual
side of the lower teeth, that is to say,
brush the inside of the teeth as carefully
as the outside. They should be brushed
separately, each row by itself; the upward
motion, which Is the proper one for the
lower teeth. not being allowed to extend

PARIS, December IA, 1901
New Year, not Christmas, is the fete day

comes down chimneys laden with toys for
good little girls and boys. The myth is too
German for a Teuton hating nation. The
little Parisians take their joys otherwise;
a new frock from ma mere, a new hat from
mon pere-these are the gifts that the
youngsters are brought up to anticipate.
There are dolls and toys, to be sure, but
the Gallo temperament is thrifty one, and

the frocks are modelled on empire and early
Victorian fashions and are simple in mate

their small daughters as earnestly as they
seek them for themselves.
Japanese silks are favorite fabrics for
Juvenile evening dresses, which are usu-
ally quite suitable for other fete occa-
s1ons as for a party. Trimmings consist
or insertions and laces, with tiny tuckS and
narrow stitched plaits. Cashmere nuns

Macaroni and spaghetti are staple articles
In the Italian district, and while MANY
people will only the imported article
there are others who think the homemade
product Is just as good and the number of
manufacturers Is Increasing. In one of the
New York establishments only imported"
goods are made. The shrewd proprietor
said:

To prove his cleverness he showed a stack
of boxes which had come filed from Italy,
but into which the New York product had
been packed with intent to deceive
The tubular article is the macaroni, and
this Is made in various sizes, but the
lengths are all the same. The ends or
scraps Of the various sizes are packed in
boxes and sold at reduced rates. Some of
this Italian staple Is sold outside the Ital-
ian district, but the greater part is con-
sumed there, and the manufacturers say
that the fact that their own people, who are
good judges, buy it Is proof Of It's supe-
riority. Another branch Of the business is
making noodles. These are strips varying

Use a Good Powder.
The daily use of some tooth powder suf-
fcient to produce, in connection with the
brush, gentle friction, will keep the teeth
beautifully polished. and Will also remove
those daily accumulations, which are at
first only of pasty character, but, If neg
lected, soon become hard and form what Is
called tartar-salivary calculus. This fric-
ton Is also invaluable in giving strength
and a healthy tone to the gums. An old
recipe for tooth powder calls for rye, or
rye bread, which should be burned to ashes,
then ground to powder by passing rolling
pin over it, after which 1t is passed
through fine sieve. The saving virtues of
rye consist in it's containing carbonate of
lime, carbonate of magnesia. oxide of iron.
plication to the teeth. That favorite tooth
powder, camphorated chalk, is very easily
made. One drachm of very finely powdered
camphor is mixed with six ounces Of pro-
pared chalk. Powder the camphor by
means Of alcohol. then sift the whole well
together.
Important Details.
The beauty Of the cheek is oftener de-
stroyed by the loss of the teeth than by
any other cause. This. therefore, is an
additional reason for taking good care of
these features, whose perfectness of con-
dition is essential to every handsome face.
The teeth. indeed. are given US. not only
for the purposes of mastication and to as
sist us in speaking, but to help to preserve
the beauty and contour of the face.
