WORK OF ANCIENT DENTISTS
That They Possessed Consider
able Skill.

By far the most transcendent ex-
ample of teeth decoration which has
at present come to light in America
is in a skull discovered in 1909 at
place called La Piedra, near the point
on the right bank of the Esmeraldas
river where it empties into San Mateo
bay. 1t was accidentally found by Mr.
Pinzon and Mr. George D. Hedian, the
latter an American consular agent at
Esmeraldas, and was kindly presented
by Mr.. Hedian for the Heye museum
during my visit to Ecuador last sum-
mer. The skull was seen projecting
from the bank, but no other parts of
the skeleton were uncovered, probably
having been washed away after the
bank was undermined
The upper part of the skull is in
fragments, but is restorable. The
skull, slightly deformed, is that of an
adult female. The decoration of the
teeth is unique and presents a new
type Of facial ornamentation. In
stead of small disks being set into arti-
fetal cavities we find in this case that
certain teeth of the upper jaw were al
most entirely covered on the outer
face by an overlay of gold. The en-
tire enamel of the teeth decorated has
been removed, with the exception of
narrow bands at the bases and the up
per parts, where they were close to
the flesh and embedded in the jaw.
The removal of the enamel is
through to the dentine and was skill
fully accomplished. 1t appears that in
some instances saving was done slight
ly under the enamel, at the upper part,
so that the gold overlay, or covering,
might be fitted under it in order to
make it more secure. The teeth thus
practically "face-crowned" are the
four incisors and the two CANNES.
The overlays are missing in all but
one of the teeth, the left lateral in
cisor. This gold covering is slightly
folded or bent over each side Of the
tooth for greater security.

The program was set and started in
motion the following day
Paul called at the Wyman home.
Clytie introduced him to her uncle,
who bristled up and looked sullen and
suspicious, but when Clytie suggested
that he show her dear friend" from
her home town around the place, Mr..
Wyman ungraciously assented to the
proposition. He came back to the
house half an hour later, alone. He
was fairly quivering with indignation
and rage.

falsest tone, we'll knowing.

home and settle the whole business by
taking in the Greys. They're brood,
but the girl is a worker and she's the
last pick, so mind your ps and as, if
you're wise"
Clytie went away by herself and
laughed in high glee. Then, nOtwith-
standing the dreadful threats of her
uncle, that same evening she met her
devoted lover in a remote lane of the
village, as prearranged.

HER LITTLE PLAN
BY VICTOR RADCLIFFE.

"The poor, dear little thing!" said
Miss Delevan, pityingly and indignant
ly.
She was a child of emotions, was
Clytie Delevan, and her gentle but
forcefuI soul was moved to it's depths
For the moment all her thoughts and
sympathies were with a strange girl
she had never spoken to and had seen
but once-just now.
Clytie was passing an obscure cot
tage. Three or four little children
were playing about the rear porch.
Beside it was young girl at wash
tub, fair and energetic. This was
Vivian Grey, the poor, dear little
thing"
"Well?" suddenly challenged the
preoccupied Clytie, and handsome
young man startled her by stepping
into view from behind tree.
Dear! How you frightened me,
said Clytie chidingly, but with gen.
tleness.
did you find out what you wanted!
asked Paul Sercombe, her lover.
81 have made all kinds of inquiries,
replied Clytie buoyantly. Il have even
seen her. Oh, Paul! she is such a sweet,
patient self-sacrificing little creature,

invalid mother and five little brothers
and sisters, bravely fighting her way,

Is as it should be, for Vivian is his

"As how, now?" queried Paul.
"Whisper-I'll tell you all about my
plan," said Clytie.
A precious plan it was! Paul looked
dubious, but entered into its details

parent tunics may be counted upon as
strong feature in the coming styles.
They are sometimes stayed with a
small wire at the bottom and often
bordered with fur or marabout feath-

The bodice has a foundation OF
figured chiffon in which vague figures
in rich colors on white background
appear. The short sleeves are length
ened with a border Of handsome lace
A wide black lace in princess design
oyerlaps the chiffon foundation, ex-
tending over the chiffon portion Of the
sleeves and along the sides and partly
over the front and back of the bodice.
An overbodice Of the gray wolfe is
draped on the foundation and trimmed
away In a "V" shape at the neck.
This leaves a small vestee Of the fig
ured chiffon.
Reyers of satin are set on the bod
ice at the front, with panels OF the
satin extending from them to the
waist line. They widen toward the
bottom, merging into narrow belt at
the sides, which is finished with
fiat bow at the back.
A fine lace-edged net collar CORE
spends with the lace finish of the
sleeves. A border Of chiffon, of the
same color as the wolfe in the dress,
is set under the pointed edge of the
lace in the lower sleeves. The bodice
fastens at the front with small satin
covered buttons.
