plains this by pointing out that when
a woman wears a large hat her hair
is almost covered except at the
sides, where Il is pulled out; her
forehead is hidden, and her temples
are merely suggested. so that moth
ing stands out clearly save her nose
and mouth. and as a result the teeth
are noticed as they never were be-
fore. This state OF affairs is brought
about in a great measure by the hats
with large round crowns and droop-
ing brims. Most girls, when they
want to show their teeth, think 1t
necessary to smile broadly, says the
cosmetic dentist, and thus proclaim
their intention in a most patent man
ner. They should learn to show
them without making their intention
obvious. It is not necessary to smile
broadly; in fact, far more effective
result is obtained II the lips are only
slightly parted in the centre when
the emotions of amusement or happi-
ness are to be expressed.-New York

Provisions Of the Government AnnuI-
tlea Act About 70 Take erect.

tIes Act About to Take Erect.
A measure called the Government
Annuitles act (i90s) Is to be put IN
operation Immediately IN Canada. Tho
bin was fabhered by Sir Richard Cart
wright and passed the Senate and
House OF Commons without dis
senting voice.
The measure is a plan to provide
Tor the old age of every man, woman
and child I'm the Dominion, so That the
terror OF absolute poverty may be
removed from old age.
BY payment OF % cents a week from
the age OF 20 until GO person will
on reaching the latter age be entitled
to draw for the rest OF his life the
sum OF s129.61 a year. AnnuitIes can
be provided Of from $50 to 5000 q
year,
The older a person is on starting
payments the less he will draw, but
the arrearages back to the age OF 20
can be paid in lump sum. child
can be provided for from the age OF
8 years.
The money can be paid in weekly,
quarterly OF yearly instruments, the
total cost being the same. Joint
annuities can be bought for husband
and wife, to be enjoyed as long as
either lives.
In the event OF a persons death be-
fore the annuity becomes payable all
money paid, with compound interest
at per cent, will be returned to the
heirs.
; Employers OF labor can contract for
annuities for their employees, and
societies, trade unions or any other
bodies may purchase annuities for
their members, and no medical exam
ination is required Of the prospec-
tive annuitant.
Here is a concrete example of the
working of this Canadian scheme: IL
the sum of $500 is paid for a boy OF
Is this will secure him at the age
of IS and for the remainder of his
life an annuity of $220.60, or at 60 OF
$S23.50. A girls expectation of life
being greater the same amount
would secure her an annuity at So OF
$2O2.95, or at 60 of $2s9.O5.
A further provision is that per-
son already So may pay lump sum,
and the first instalment of the annuity
will be payable three months after
purchase and for the rest Of his life.
Then there is system by which
an annuity may be guaranteed for five,
ten or twenty years by an additional
payment, and in this case the money
would be paid to the heirs Of the de-
ceased annuitant for the prescribed
number of years.-Quebee Correspon-
dence Of the New York Sun.

One cannot imagine a modern man
IN modern dress, IN the centre Of
modern ballroom. bowling almost TO
the floor and then dropping on 70
one knee before his partner and OF
fering her a red rose.
He would feel absurd. Such ges'
lures belong TO the time when mems
toilettes were as exquisite as those
OF the fashionable women OF today.
The modern man. who is not al
lowed lace ruffles or even gold buck
les on his shoes. finds 1t difficult %
pose as model Of grace in the ball
room. He likes dances to be so sim
pie as his conventional evening dress.
The moment a dance Is suggested
that makes him feel conspicuous tho
modern man becomes almost shy.
We can perhaps hardly hope for
return OF the stately minuet; as al
ready pointed out, the dress Of the
modern man would rob II OF its old
time statellness. For the same rea-
non we cannot expect to see the re-
turn OF the beautiful gavotte, which
uas first introduced at Court in the
sixteenth century, and has been re-
vlved and remodeled many times.
Tnese dances were graceful ana
stately, but while mems dress re-
mains as II is today they would not
have the old charm.
But there are other dances, once
popular, that might well be re-intro'
duced.
We may borrow from Germany,
however. the skating dance" gener'
ally called "Patineur" A variation
Is occasionally seen in this country
(it suggests the barn dance), but
has not yet gained the popularity IT
deserves. Paris is fond OF 1t, aud
anyone who has seen 1t as It is dane
ed In the French and German capt..
ais must wish that It could become
a regular feature on our dance pro-
grams.
For the first steps Of the "Patin-
eurs," the two dancers stand side
by side, with their arms crossed and
hands Joined exactly as II they were
essaying the outside edge" together
on ice. In fact, the dance is intend
ed to suggest the graceful outside
edge" as the dancers make steps first
to the right and then to the left,
and this swaying effect is charming
when large number OF couples are
dancing.
Perhaps hostesses would be start
led at the suggestion that the Span
ish "Jota" might be introduced into
bathrooms Certainly, as 1t is dane
ed by the animated Spaniard. II
would be considered too vlvacious for
our tastes, yet some OF its features
might be taken, and upon these a
charming dance might be founded. 1t
Is the graceful movements OF the
arms that make the charm OF this
dance. Philadelphia Record.
