declared that he did not wish the den

that n tooth should be extracted from

his eyes fixed on the ground, and then,
suddenly looking up, found, TO his In

except the grand vlzler, whom he COM
plmented upon being the only one
faithful enough to undergo n little dis

up the space between the core and
mold. The hot metal burns the core so

A pretty. lifeike dimple can be made
TO appear on lady's cheek by means
OF a specially designed knife with a
very small and very sharp blade, a
daintily tiny. keen edged, silvered
scoop and 5'rsy fine needle.
A small, straight incision is first made
in the flesh. Hhe little scoop is then
used to remove n small portion of the
underlying fat, while the sewing to-
gether .Sasth the needle the edges Of the
cut completes the operation. In day
or two the stitches are taken out with.
IN a week the wound being usually en-
tlrely healed, leaving the becoming lit
tie depression in the surface of the skin
that is called dimple.
1t Is not often that n woman desires
the removal OF n natural dimple, but
occasionally man who considers the
mark TO be n badge of effemlnacy de-
sires TO get rid of IL. Instead OF re-
moving the superhuous fat from be-
meath the surface small portion Of
the skin is cut away. The edges OF the
dimple are drawn together will
stitches. the lncision heals and the dc
preston disappears.
