The San Francisco call., 1904-11-20

(M. N. B.).-The clever woman knows
1t is useless to attempt to wear all her
clothing, which was prepared early, the
entire summer and still look present
able at the close of the season; so, to
avoid looking conspicuously passe, she
manages in this manner. At least one
handsome thin gown is kept in reserve
or a new one is made up during this
month, when pretty fabrics are being
sold at such low prices. If the goods
are wisely selected and the garment
we'll made it will do for all informal
affairs at home during the winter Ba-
tistes, nets or fine mules are always
safe to choose. 1t is false economy to
wear a faded hat; nothing looks quite
so forlorn on warm day as faded,
dust-stained finery; less should be
spent on, gowns If need be, but smart,
fresh hat and veil are imperative.
Shoes and gloves can always be kept
in perfect style and condition, regard
less of the season. For little journeys
into town from the country, or for
days jaunt to the seashore, modish
two.piece walking suit of linen or mo-
hair is ideal, worn with a dainty shirt
waist of white. Elaborate silk waists
should be sent to the professional
cleaner and worn places concealed by
fresh trimmings. Cotton waists and
gowns which show breaks in the lace
or embroidery should be carefully
nlended before laundering. Discard
crushed ruchings, faded ribbons and
the like, and replace them with new.
Remnants can now be bought for small
sums and they are just the thing for
late summer renovating. Just a word
about the purchase of new ribbon trim
mings. Select a softer shade than that
originally used on the garment, so that
the harmony may be better in case the
waist or gown has faded some, as 1t
probably has. To be more explicit, al
ways match ribbon to the garment, not
tc a new piece of the fabric.
CARE OF THE TEETH q. B. L.).-
Unless you are confirmed invalid 1t
is nonsense to say you are too nervous
to endure dental work; 1t is unaVold-
able, SO meet it bravely and do not up
set the dentist by hysterical outbreaks.
While no sane person denies that work
on the teeth is both painful and
tedious, like many other ordeals of life
a vivid Imagination magnifieS3 the an
ticipation out of all proportion to the
substance of the actual. Unsound
teeth induce extreme irritability. ner-
vous and stomach troubles incident to
improper maStication, hence their
preservation and repair is imperative.
Avoid needless exposure to either heat
or cold, for both3xtremes are injurious
to the enamel on the teeth. even
though no acute sensation be felt.
Moderately soft brushes and
preparations free from grit used faith
fully each day will prolong the useful
ness of teeth almost indefinitely, al
though there are, Of course. rare cases
when the teeth are constitutionally
frail and preservation is impossible.
The hue of the teeth Is also largely
matter of bodily vigor. those teeth
with a slightly yellowish cast being in
dicative of strength. An excellent
liquid dentifrice which Will harden the
gums and preserve the teeth is made
of mixture of one quart of hot water.
one and one-half ounces of borax. one
teaspoonful of tincture of myrrh and
two teaspoonfuls of spirits of camphor.
Add the borax to the hot water and
when cold pour in the other INGREDIENTS
and bottle. Use q tablespoonful In a
glass of water when brushing or rims
ing the teeth after eating.
