becoming than a smooth Mt.
The latest ideas in neckwear are
just as becoming TO the elderly woman
as to the young girl. She should
make point of wearing, whenever
possible, the fluffy frill Of white tulle,
banded with black velvet and some
times described as a "choker."
This is a late idea, and the frills can
measure any width from four to eight
inches according to taste. The proper
proportions Will be one inch Of the
frill showing above and two inches
below band OF black velvet an inch
wide. The other widths will be In
proportion. In case the neck Is very
thin and scrawny and the chest in
clined to be fiat the frills are very
becoming, while cuffs to match are al
lowed.
Probably the prettiest neck finish
for the elderly woman is an incon-
spicuous lavalliere or a very simple
brooch. 1t is especially good for a
generous figure. and goes we'll with
the frills. The heshy woman should
not attempt rufiies at the wrists. the
turnback cuffs and bands being more
appropriate. The fat woman can use
finish of threaded beading for her
summer frocks.
This should not be too narrow, and
II is not an easy matter to apply the
beads SO as to look really well. The
neck Of the dress ought to be cut we'll
up to the throat and fitted smoothly,
and the beading can be adjusted while

of a decayed tooth Is Just as certain

Swallowing food before 1t has been

with bad teeth dread to chew their

therefore they swallow their food
