4 PRACTICAL TALKS BY
GRANDMOTHER
tT REAT your teeth as tenderly as
you would treat an infant, my


kkT REAT your teeth as tenderly as
you would treat an infant, my
dear children, and your reward will
probably be healthy and happy old age.
The April Grandmother thus addressed
her three granddaughters. "a perfectly
shaped denture is gift which Ma
ture rarely bestows, but as the average
young girls teeth are sound, by thorough
| ly brushing them at night, morning and
after each meal, she may at least keep
them looking white and wholesome. If
she loses many of her teeth before reach
| ing middle age it is usually because an
Iunwillingness to endure a little pain pre-
vents her from having them repaired until
only mere shells remain to be worked
upon
"The enamel of the teeth may be seri-
Iously injured by extremes of temperature
in beverage and food, as swallowing a
glassful of iced water Immediately after
taking soup or following ice cream with
Ia demi-tasse. And an immense amount
of mischief may come to naturally sound
fruits whose acid juices not only destroy
the enamel but render the exposed sur
face exceedingly sensitive. Such teeth
are likely to take on an ugly dark hue,
decay, ulcerate or so rapidly wear off at
the corners that before many years their
roots must be capped, and"-the April
grandmother shuddered at the idea-"false
teeth, however, perfectly fitted and
matched, do not masquerade as natural
ones any more successfully than does
skim milk as cream.
"Of course / do not mean to say that
acid fruits are to be tabooed," she con-
tinued in response to the alarmed eX-
pression ON the face of one of the girls
who had been biting into large red ap-
nile at short intervals during the evening
sbut only to advise you that always after
indulging in an acid fruit orgy it is the
part of wisdom to thoroughly rinse the
mouth and then to rub little bicarbonate
of soda upon the teeth and gums.
"Although every body knows that candy
is bad for the teeth,' proceeded the April
Grandmother in resigned tones, 'nearly
all school girls devour just as much con-
fectionery as they can get, so that l can
merely recommend to them the softer
kinds of sweets as less injurious, because
they literally melt in the mouth, whereas
hard confectionery is often the means of
breaking off perfectly sound tooth, rem
dering it useless as a means of masticat-
ing food and very dis6guring to the
mouth.
'The habit of biting off threads or of
loosening knots with the teeth is bar

hand bags are made of
soft leather, with fastenings of cords
held in place by beads. These bags
sewing may be done on the machine there
is now no reason why even the girl who
is not an expert needlewoman may not
turn out a successful bag. The principal
qualification needed for making the bags
attractive is a good eye for color The
girl who is able to bring together un-
usual shades in subtle and charming coler
harmonies is sure to turn out bags which
all her friends will rejoice to possess.
Soft ooze leather is used for the bags,
which are deeper than they are wide.
Two pieces of leather are cut and the
edges pinked all around. About two
inches from the top the leather is pierced
at regular intervals for a draw cord.
This may be either of the leather, of
silk or gold cord or of beads. Two
holes are made close together and then
there is larger interval before the next
two holes.
Metal disks, with holes in the centre
are used to hold the draw cord in place.
These are of gold, silver, bronze or cop
per, and are ornamented with colored
stones or merely with designs in the
metal. They are some of them very
charming in color, and it is in the selec-
ton of these ornaments, as we'll as in the
color of the bag itself, that the possi-
bilities for turning out remarkably beautl-
full bags lie. The draw cord of leather
holds these ornaments in place.
The two sides of the bag are stitched
together on the machine, the pinked edges
being left on the outside. The edges may
be sewed together by hand if desired, of
course, but the stitching must be strong
and very even.

PHOTOGRAPH FRAMES.

A 4 EWEST in photograph frames are
IN those of Marguerite made of inlaid
woods and having inside rims fin
ished with French green gold. Also of
ornamental wood are frames of lacquered
olive, carved bamboo and green teak,
highly polished red cedar, ebony and ma
Ihogany They are of oblong, square,
Isuitable for card, cabinet and miniature
photographs.
Metal frames are Of plain, chased or
repousse worked plated and sterling sill
yer; of green gold il Colonial or Empire
design and of brass and bronze used sep
arately and in combination.
Some of the daintiest porcelain frames
are exquisitely decorated in Dresden eff
fects, others show the familiar Delft de-
signs and third class have tops painted
with figures after Watteau and sides ell
riched with gold scrolls. Hand painting
also decorates the ivory frames which,
coming from the Far East, show rural
scenes, temples and gods unfamiliar to
the average pair of Occidental eyes.
Red morocco is most of all fashionable
among leather photograph frames, but
many attractive novelties are developed in

enamel kid. These pelt frames are plain
save for gold, silver or black monogram
at the centre of the upper border unless
they are of the square book order, holding
from two to eight photographs, in which
event the monogram is on the outer side of
the left hand cover.
Brocaded and Powered silks and satins
are still high in favor as coverings for
photograph frames, but in these hair
padded, cushion effects the latest fancy is
for an elaborate floral design embroidered
with silk upon white taupe or tan linen.
Persian and Florentine enamelled metal
frames have lost none of their prestige,
but they are not effective over any photo,
graph which has dark background. Floral
frames representing roses. violets or for
get-me-nots in pressed and tinted white
metal are exceptionally attractive, but only
suitable for photographs of children and

THE GIRL AND HER SPENDING MONEY

fear that they would be thought foolish in
asking for it. On their own allowance it

allowance to each child is well worth the
effort it may cause the head of q house
hold striving to manage in the best way
on small income. In the end no more
will be spent, but it will certainly be
spent to best advantage, for the child will
derive through it not only those things
which she needs and will have to be given
anyway. but. with a good training in the
use and abuse of spending money, a
knowledge which is every bit as impor-
tant for the laborer's child as for the
daughter of millionaire.

is taught. Surely such cou-5e is every
bit as important as a knowledge of any
of the ologies or the dead languages.
But apart from the science of cooking a
girl of ordinary intelligence should know
instinctively all that has to do with the
running of a house-that is, the detailed
work, such as the setting of a din
ner table, the keeping the place in order,
the correct and incorrect methods of
answering the door, &c. Remember
only, girls, that this servant has known
nothing at home, whereas all your lives
you have taken it as a matter of course
that things were served to you at your
left at the dinner table; that silver
knives should be used for fish or fruit,
&c.

Teach her how to address you, insist that
she always be neat, but through it all
show her that you are really interested
in her and are trying to help her to pro-
ficiency in her line of work. The attitude
of respect for your character and your
superior knowledge will quickly come,
and this is the ground upon which all re-
spect should be based; this is the only
real mark of equality and inequality.

Nv
Nv rests the opportunity of solving
AX the servant question Of the very
near future, and the sooner
the daughter of the household
realizes this responsibility the
better. Unquestionably the great secret
at the root of this perplexing prob
lem lies in the attitude of the mistresses
quite as much as with the ignorance of
the servant girls.
Until very recently the women in this
country have been basing their hopes on
trying to found servant class like that
in England, where the idea of class dis
tinction has for centuries ruled so strong
ly that the relation between mistress and
maid is perfectly understood on both sides.
There birth and wealth. too, are insurx
mountable barriers to the uneducated. and
n certain respect and reverence for the
gentry is literally born in the poorer
classes. I1ere All is uiherehl-the young
Irish or Swedish girl comes to America
with the idea implanted in her soul that
from the day she lands no one is to be
her superior; that she. surely, is on the
same footing with all these Americans
who, SO she understands it, came over
like herself TO this new country to make
their fortunes To those who have sue
ceeded she can afford no real respect,
for, Of course, she too will be rich and
have her own servants in a few years.
And this is the attitude of the Irish
house servant. There are no titles here,
hence no ladies or mistresses in this coun-
try, for, to the uneducated, title bears

close relation to royalty and savors at
once of command and reverence. 1t is
just this attitude which no generation of
women here has yet been quite able to
grasp, and it now remains with the young
wives of the next five or ten years to
show how, with their education and all
their advantages and opportunities, they
can cope with the strange personality and
the perverted viewpoint Of the house SER
