W0MAN'S GROWING GLORY
Take Care of Your Teeth.

The proper time to brush the teeth is
after each meal and at bedtime. Before
this is done all particles of food should
be removed from between the teeth by
means of a toothpick OF, better, dental
floss. Then they should be brushed thor
oughly with brush Of medium stiffness
dipped in tepid waited. Very hot and very
cold water are equally harmful.
The brush should be used with an up
and down movement and not sideways only
and the backs of the teeth should be brush
ed even more carefully than the fronts
for it is there that tartar tends to accumu-
late. Many think that tartar is harmless
but this is an erroneous belief Its accu-
mutation is one Of the principal causes of
the loosening of the teeth, and fits presence
exposes one constantly to the recurrence Of
gum bols.
The use OF Some good dentifrice once
a day or two or three times a week keeps
the teeth white and better looking but Is
not absolutely necessary when the tooth
brush is used regularly after each meal
Rinsing the mouth after each brushing with
some pleasantly favored antiseptic solu-
ton helps to avert decay of the teeth
Finally not the least important point In
the care Of the teeth is a regular semi
annual visit to the dentist that he NAV ex-
anime the teeth and fill at once any begin
ming cavity. In this way the teeth NAV
be preserved, accidents excepted for a long
lifetime, and the natural teeth, even when
hlled and repaired, are many times better
from every point of view than any artif-
cial ones

An important feature of the trousseau
was the sumptuous opera cloak of white
satin aDPliqued with festoons of black lace
and trimmed upon the collar, around the
shoulders and down the front with broad
bands of sable. The arrangement of the
shoulder trimming, while not novel, was
very effective, for from under the encir-

stature IT supports, Is the rule for a foot;
the ideal one is white, well arched, with
a regularly curved outline and. smooth
surface, the toes straight possible.
If the toes are inclined to crook and over
lap each other, a thin splint should be
placed under them at night, to which the
toes are tied closely and firmly. A
crooked toe may sometimes be straight
sned by putting cotton wool between it
and it's neighbor Soft corns may often

Feet should often be well rubbed and

which is a preventive of corns. Emery
paper will remove any rough skin. Nails
should be cut square; If cut in rounded

be painted with iodine; turpentine may be
used occasionally with good effect on both
bunionS and corns. For chilblans moth

cloth night and morning; the relief is al
most instantaneous. Do not use the alum

Comparison with Greek casts show that
feet have not changed very much. The Sec

than the others, and this was undoubtedly
the original form of nature: but the shape
has been changed by the modern shoe. The
Greek feet-the handsomest of them-were

heels were short. the toes long and straight,

Royalty at Sea.

From London Vi. A. P.
The number of royal yachts IN exis-
tence and the immense sums lavished on
them, are amazing when it is taken into
consideration how much royal and i'm
perial personages are a prey to mal-de-
mer. The German Emperor is always Ill
when facing a gale at sea. The empress
Is a much better sailor IN this respect.
When the two OF them went to the Holy
Land the empress was the only person
of the imperial circle on board who
was not prostrated by seasickness dur
ing the trip down the Adriat!o. Prince
Henry of Prussia likewise confesses to
seasckness each time on going to sea
after being in port for a while. The Duke
Of Cornwall Is afflicted In the same way,
and the duchess is such a martyr to sea-
sickness that she hesitated for long time
before consenting TO undertake the tour
lust concluded. She suffered intensely dur
ing the trip from Portsmouth to Gibraltar
the weather in the Bay of Biscay being
very stormy.
King Edward, although devoted to
yachting, has been absolutely prostrated
by mal-de-mer when crossing the cham
mel between Dover and, Calais. Indeed,
the only member of the English royal
family who is absolutely immune from
this ailment is the widowed Duchess Of Al
bany.
