rake care Of ths Mouth.


Some fortunate girls are born to pref
ty mouths. A very few have the much
sung Cupld's bow, with perhaps the
added charm OF dimple. Others have
a smile which transforms an otherwise
plain face. A great many have very
commonplace mouths, with no redeem
ing dimples And some few, fortunate
ly 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 con-
tortions, the habit OF screwing up the
lips when talking. OF drawing the mouth
up on one side when laughing. The
mother OF growing children cannot be
too careful OF their appearance.
Whatever the shape OF the mouth. its
defects can be balanced In q large
measure by good teeth. healthy gums
and red lips. There Is absolutely no
excuse In this age OF successful dental
surgery for misshapen or protruding
teeth and similar mouth defects. With
comparatively little pain the teeth can
be Strengthened. and In case they must
be removed because OF their bad indi.
vidual shape new ones will be inserted
on bridge, not on an unsightly plate.
Another advance in surgery which
adds greatly to the beauty OF the mouth
Is the invention OF porcelain filings
which are rapidly replacing the gold
ones.
