Practical Chats
With Mothers

There Is nothing more important in
the physical up-bringing Of children
than the care of their teeth, for nine.
tenths CT all Intestinal and digestive
Troubles that often give rise to ter.

the tooth brush, which was used more
for the sake Of appearances than fof
health, and q child was never taken
to the dentist unless 1t was actually
suffering pain.
In these days the wise mother new
er lets the mischief go far enough to
create toothache, but takes her young.
sters to a good dentist at regular In
tervals of q few months.
It is most necessary that any de-
cay or defect in the first teeth should
be stopped at once, otherwise 1t is
bound to communicate itself to the
permanent teeth which are already
in the Jaw. From tn very first, whel:
1t begins to eat solid food, a child
should be taught to masticate every
mouthful properly. and trained to
rinse the mouth after every meal and
to clean and rinse the teeth thos-
oughly the. last thing at night. This
is most important and too much en-
phasis cannot be put upon It, for II
Is In the night hours that the worst
mischief is wrought by hosts of mi
crobes generated by fragments Of
food-starchy focd. especially-that
clings round the teeth.
Cleaning the Teeth
A child shc.!d never DE given any
thing to chew after his bed time tooth
cleaning. "A "gcod night" cracker or
bit OF candy has been responsible for
dire havoc to teeth and digestion.
"A soft, little toothbrush, with bris-
ties fairly wide apart, so that they
penetrate between the teeth, q simple
dentifrice and tepid water are best,

use the brush itself, it should be

take this to heart as an indication
that hoopskirts of the old sort arc

summer Is really amy fuller about the
bottom than ever. Styles are slow
in their development, even though
they are foreshadowed for many

Accordion pleats ere much used,
and they are welcome. There is the
accordion5pleated underskirt worn
with the long tunic, and it is surely
an improvement, from the woarer's
point Of view, over the straight under
skirt, for 1t permits of easy walking,
and at the same time preserves q,
straight effect. Then there Is the
acco,dion-plcated cape. Developed in
a light, thin silk. This Is a delight

into a yoke Of heavier fabric that fits
about tho shoulders, and that is fin
ished with a wide, flaring collar of
