CHARACTER IN TEETH
HOW A woMAN'S DISPOSITION IS
READILY DISCLOSED.
Those Pointing Inward and Sharp and
Short Denote Personal Vanity
and Selfshness.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The girl whose teeth are not pretty must
take herself to a dentist, for character Is
to be read in the teeth, and not only char
acter, but personal traits.
The reading of character by the teeth was
a task undertaken by palmist Of London,
who had turned his attention toothward.
III the character can be told by the palm,
it can also be read In the teeth" he de-
clared. And at once by a reading of the
teeth of those in the drawing room at the
time he demonstrated the fact that it was
possible to tell not only character, but ten
denotes and traits, cultivated and inherited.
Teeth that point inward" said he ARE
teeth that remind you of a fish's teeth.
They are usually short, rather sharp and
the inward curve is very pronounced.
Such teeth belong to the selfish woman.
They denote some personal vanity, but
specially great selfishnesS If you know a
woman whose teeth curve inwardly, be-
ware, for she is woman who looks out for
herself first and for you afterward. Such
people are usually inordinately fond of
good things to eat, and they will go to
great lengths to get what they want
Teeth to Be Desired.
''The best teeth are those that are even
and not too small. but rather regular and
of creamy whiteness. Blue-white teeth
denote weak mental powers, and teeth that
are very dark usually tell of a poor state
of physical health. But the cream-white
teeth. of medium size set regularly In the
mouth in nice, even row, are the best
teeth of all to have.
Teeth that are separated by large open
spaces generally belong to vicious dispo-
sition. The man whose teeth are separated
Is cruel In his nature, and the woman
whose teeth are not pushed together, but
that grow apart so as to leave big spaces
between, Is the woman whose fits of tenn
per have gotten her into trouble many
time and oft.
Every large teeth that show prominently
and seem to come out to point in front
denote much animal spirit. Women who
have such teeth as this are inclined to laugh
a great deal and to enjoy life. When you
find such set of teeth you find good dis
position, and the teeth, If well cared for,
are positive beauty in the good-natured
face.
Teeth set in a narrow Jaw indicate re-
fnement. No matter how large they be or
how irregular, they show that the owner
has refined tastes and quick, natural SYM
pathies.
Bespeak Firmness.
Very short very stubby teeth denote OBJ
stinacy, and where the teeth are very blunt
as though they had been sawed off, the
woman who Is blessed with such teeth can
be relied upon to hold her own in an argu-
ment, whether she be right or wrong She
will neither give up nor in to anybody
Teeth that project are hideous but they
denote generosity. Women with projecting
teeth are usually pious. generous, good
souled and free from the affectations of wo-
mankind. Such teeth belong to the best
people in the world. those who can be re-
lied upon in time Of trouble, as they say.
There is another style of teeth, the teeth
that are very uneven and crowded in the
Jaw. Where such teeth are of differcn.
sizes and of different colors, as is often
the case, they denote an erratic disposition.
very talented people have uneven teeth
all sizes, all shapes and gathered together
apparently haphazard by Mother Nature.
Ihe precocious girl and the precocious boy
Will show such teeth as this, and you will
not fnfrequently find such a row of teeth
IN the mouth of man or of a woman who
has done something in the world"
The teeth require certain amount of
bard food. The back teeth are powerful
and they need certain amount of exercise
SOFT foods will not supply this, and the
teeth Will suffer unless given something
hard to chew. e
