PUPILS HAVE BAD TEETH.
Nearly Every Child In Gotham Schools
Shown to Be a Sufferer.

New York.-That practically every
child attending public school in New
York is suffering with defective teeth
is the surprising conclusion from sta
tistlcs in the first report of the dental
clinic of the Children's Aid Society.
Investigations by the New York Juve-
nile Asylum, where physical well-be.
ing Is made the basis of child reform.
having revealed the fact that bad
teeth are "a leading cause of juvenile
delinquency, a free dental clinic was
formed in this city to treat this cause
Of trouble. Although the clinic has
been in operation only short time,
394 children have been examined,
with the surprising result that not one
revealed set of teeth not In need of
repairs. Just 1854 cavities were found
In the teeth Of 1884, and 214 teeth had
to be extracted. On this basis there
ought to be about 100000 cavities in
the teeth of all New York's school
children and 100000 molars ought to
be pulled. 1t Is stated that the stand.
ard of health in schools In which den.
tai supervision Is in force has already
shown marked improvement.

COSTLY WELLS A NECESSITY.
Have Become Indispensable Part Of
Smart Woman's Apparel.

More and more are wells becoming
a feature of the smartly clad WON
ans hat, but they are not joy for
ever; in fact, they are about as ex
pensive as any detail of the feminine
toilet, inasmuch as cheap bit OF
gauze or net will not in the least an
swer the purpose. The veil must al.
ways be absolutely fresh, and usually
matches the color scheme of the hat
unless white trimmings are used on 1t
in which case 1t Is better to have it OF
that color, as 1t Is more becoming to
the complexion.
Flaring brimmed hats, set we'll back
from the brow, are the fancy of the
tailor-made maid, even for shopping
The shapes are not extravagantly
large. and are usually in dark felt OF
beaver. But to be effective and also
becoming, the brims should be faced
or bound with dark velvet or satin
sometimes edged with a white silk
cord. A highly picturesque effect is
gained with coque feathers instead OF
the more perishable and costly ostrich
tips, which are out of place with run
about costumes.

STYLES IN WAISTS
MANY NOW MADE TO WEAR OUT.
SIDE THE SKIRT.
Waistcoat Effects Are Among the
Most PopuIar--Attractive Design
In Unlined Silk Blouse for
interchangeable Wear.

This seasons silk waists and those
also of chiffon and lace are many Of
them finished to wear outside the
skirt, being made either with draped
belt attached to the waist or like an
old-fashioned basque. Waistcoat eff
fects are popular, and many of the silk
waists are fastened directly down the
front with buttons which show. Taf
feta is a favorite material still. and
waists made of 1t are trimmed with
waistcoats of embroidery and trans
parent chemisettes of lace. Soft
satins and silks are also much used
matching in color the skirt of the
suit with which such waists are us
ually worn. Chiffon cloth, chiffon and
net, both plain and embroidered, are
also made to go outside the skirt
One such waist made of black tat
feta silk had the front draped so that
1t seemed to be plain at the top, hav
ing a full drapery across the bust
Above the bust line there was set o
chemisette of blue Chinese embroidery
and inside this a chemisette of trans
parent ecru lace. The embroidery
appeared again below the draped
pieces in a waistcoat effect, which
continued down below the waist and
finished in rounded point something
like an oldfashioned basque. Be.
meath the chemisette the waist was
buttoned straight down the front. II
had draped belt at the back and
sides. Another new waist of blue silk
had waistcoat Of gray silk and inside
this a chemisette of narrow lace. II
also was finished to go outside the
skirt and had draped belt. These
waists were, of course, fitted and
lined.
New silk blouses. unlined and meant
for interchangeable wear with laun
dered shirt waists, are made of soft
striped silks in all colors and widths
of stripes. An attractive design for
such waist, which was of blue and
white silk, had knife pleatings of plain
blue and plain white silk on one side
of the front flap. which concealed the
opening Of the bodice. The waist was
quite full, being tucked at the top
The tucks let out formed the fullness
The sleeves of medium size, were
taken in to deep, plain cuff of the
silk, which was trimmed all around
with a white crochet buttons. Equal
ly attractive was a waist made OF
fine white and brown striped silk
which was perfectly plain and very
full. The cuffs were finished merely
with stitching.

ingly, and Suggestions May
Be Welcome.


The title of sweet 16" seems sadly
misplaced. Pretty 21 would be much
truer, for in reality there is no age
more trying than 16.
Girls who have reached that num-
Der of years are either too young to
do one thing, or too old to do the
other. 1t may be sweet age to study,
but to actually live through every
girl looks back to II as a nightmare.
And mothers are often sorely per.
picked with the question of what style
Ia proper for miss of that age. Per-
haps these few suggestions will be
welcome to such mothers. At least
we hope so.
Oftentimes the miss of 16 Is "lanky,"
and dress that has a few tiny ruff
fles on 1t will set the skirt out and
relieve her of that tall and thin ap.
pearance, while touches OF velvet
about the bodice will always make any
dress becoming to the girl who is bur-
dened with sallow skin.
Styles for misses should be chosen
as those for their mothers, and that
Is according to their respective fig.
ures. The girl who is slim should Sc.
lect skirt with some fullness about

A word as to colors for house dress
IS. Avoid bright reds-they are OF
the long ago, and to-day we see in
heir stead soft browns. shading from
mustard and topaz down to the ricl,

Dean Of Towns Officials.

Marble Falls. Tex.-Capt. w. H.
Warnock, recently elected alderman
when Marble Falls was incorporated,
is dean OF the towns official board In
more senses than one. He has at
tanned the age of 81 years, and is be-
lleved to be the oldest alderman in the
United States.
He is a past master in the art Of
municipal legislation and executive
management, having served as mayor
of Georgetown, Tex, for ten years,
There is not a brighter mind nor
scarcely more active body in the
council than he.
He chops his own wood for exercise
and takes long walks along the lake
side and other favorite haunts. He
frequently climbs up and down the
steep cliffs that wall the river canyon
and spends hours fishing at some OF
the favorite pools at the foot Of the
numerous waterfalls.
Capt. Warnock Is a native OF South
Carolina. He spent his early life in
that state, Alabama and Tennessee.

large family of children and numerous

brown homespun material. Have
straps made of brown tas'eta of a
darker shade, while the collar might
be evolved from velvet of a shade
matching the taffeta bands. Silk braid
might also be used instead of taffeta
for strappings, with velvet buttons for
combination.
Many young girls are made abso-
lutely unhappy because their parents
never seem to think they have ideas
OF their own. II really matters very
little to the average mother whether
her young daughter wears brown
or green dress, while to the average
girl II is a vital question.
A girl was "a years old before she
was allowed to select a dress of the
color and style she wanted, and that
dress was to her an event. Give the
young folks a chance to say at least
what color they want. and humor
their little fancies as much as you
can within reason, for things that to
lis seem mere trines are ito them
OF disappointment.
