method. If sho touches the wrong

one that should be corrected she stopt

THE eraser she uses Is a disk OF

'EueENIE's FLIGHT FROM PARIs'

FLIGHT FROM PARIS"
Princess Eugene, once the reigning
beauty of France. is living today at
Marlborough. England. writing her
memoirs which are not to be published
till 25 years after her death. Her book
will probably contain the details of the
following incident of her hurried flight
from Paris in 1870.
Eugene was accompanied in her
fight by Dr. Evans. an American dem
tist. In his own memoirs DR.. Evans
tells how, in the ramshackle carriage
(the best at their command). on the
second day out. the Empress began
smoothing a handkerchief that lay out
spread on her lap To DR.. Evans she
said Il am ironing the only handker-
chief possess
She then told how she had washed
her handkerchief herself in the pew
ter washbasin in her shabby room at
the obscure inn at which they had
stopped for the highland now she
was finishing her laundry work by iron
ing the handkerchief with her own
hands.
Later in the day they were crossing
a stream and the Empress bade the
driver halt. She explained that all the
water allowed her at the inn she had
used to wash her handkerchief. hence
had none left for cleansing her teeth.
Whereupon she produced a box of DR..
Lvon's Perfect Tooth Powder-which
powder had just then been introduced
into France. some boxes of the same
having been given to the Empress by
an American friend OF the American
dentist. DR.. Evans. So now descending
from the carriage. and scooping up
water from the stream in a cup pro-
vided by DR.. Evans. the Empress pro-
ceeded to clean her teeth with Dr.
Lyons Tooth Powder.
DR.. Evans. himself. declares that the
Empress had the prettiest smile Of any
woman in Europe, because she had
the most beautiful teeth"
Thus with water from a stream. dur
ing her flight from Paris, the Empress
Of the French used DR.. Lyons Tooth
Powder over a third of a century ago
which has not only enjoyed the uni
lversal endorsement of the dental pro-
fession. but is used by people of re-
/ finement in every part of the world
where the use of a tooth brush is
/ known.
