Change From Year to Year.
The D0lomites are not the same
from year to year. The rock of which
they are composed is not as durable
as that which enters into the compo-
sition Of our Rocky mountains and the
Alps Each year the thousands of fan
tastic modelings are carved anew. The
strange DoIomite needles become
more pointed and longer, while knife
like ridges run to sharper edges. The

and etched walls disintegrate notice
ably from year to year. Scattered
throughout their area are great fields
Of broken stones. and deep streams of

Titan, the great master of colors,
was born in this mountain region. His
birthplace was Campo di Soto or
Pieye di Galore. At least, he spent
his boyhood in the latter village, once

public, the republic Of Galore, which
was founded 500 years before Amer
lea was discovered and which existed
for 500 years. losing its liberty to no
less q conqueror than Napoleon, who,
at the peace Of Campo Formio In
1897, rearranged this part of Europe.
The Latins and the Germans have
fought from time immemorial on the
Dolomites' cyclopean battle-ground A
race Of warriors grew up in this Dor
der land, and also, one might say, a
race of peasant aristocrats. There are
humble people here who can trace the
family parentage back unbroken
through centuries and who treasure
ancient family documents signed by
popes and emperors, doges and great
mobiles. Some of our sturdiest immi-
grants, Italian, German and Slav,
come from these mountain Businesses.
Few of them remain, however, for
their wonderful mountain homeland

Mandalay is not only a real city but
an extremely interesting one, which
no tourist to Oriental lands can afford
to miss. 1t is the bulwark of Buddhism
in Burma, and the most truly Burman
city that can be found.

a figure said to be the largest brass
image in the world. Except for the
face, it is completely covered with
gold leaf Among other curios are
queer armed figures and three-headed
elephants in steel. These were
brought from Arakan at the time of
the British occupation, and after a
rather varied history finally found a
resting place here. In recent years
this pagoda has acquired much fame
as the temporary repository of the re-
puted remains of Buddha.

THE TEETH AND MOUTH.

Some fortunate girls are born to pretty
mouths A very few have the much-sung
Cupid's bow, with. perhaps the added
charm of dimple. Others have, smile
which transforms an otherwise plain face.
A great many have very commonplace
mouths, with no rcdeeming dimples. And
some few. fortunately comparatively very
Few, have large mouths or distorted
mouths But no mouth is hopelessly
ugly. Sometimes the teeth may be
crooked, distorting the mouth, and here
the dentist can give relief. But oftenest
of all the mouth is made homely by facial
contortions, the habit of screwing up the
lips when talking. or drawing the mouth
up on one side when laughing. The
mother OF growing children cannot be too
careful in guarding against the forma-
tion of such habits. which i'll later years
Will sadly mar the appearance OF her
daughters. in particular
Whatever the shape of the mouth, its
defects can be balanced in d large meas
ire by good teeth. healthy gums and red
lips. There is absolutely 10 excuse III

adds greatly to the beauty of the mouth

A safe and simple tooth powder is

quantities. Another equally safe but
less pleasing powder is finely shaved

The back of this underskirt can be of
