THE CARE OF THE TEETH.

"How frequently should the teeth
be cleaned" is a question that is
often asked. That depends on how
clean you wish to be; but this at
least Is certain-you should clean
your teeth Immediately after eating,
no matter how often you eat. and
above all, you should clean them
the last thing at night.

The girl OF the period can en-

what can she do when 1t comes to
the humble task OF doing bit Of
darning?
Very little. many will have to
confess, for some pretty weirdlook-
ing darns even in our Sunday-go-
connecting silk stockings are often
revive the lost art OF darning as it
was taught to our mothers and
grandmothers before US a few hints
may be in order
First Of all, don't darn over those
silver-handled darners which have
supplanted the humble mock orange
or china egg
These darners are only suitable
for use in mending the heel OF a
pouch out the fabric in very I'M
slightly fashion.
Darning should be done over the
hand" as it is called The hand
should be held in such position
that the thumb and forefinger form
circle
The circle formed by these two
fingers is held directly under the
rent which is to be darned. and the
rest OF the material Is to be gather
ed about the hand and held firmly
in place by the remaining fingers.
This position will seem very awk-
ward at first, but you'll find it
very easy position OF the hand to
maintain.
Next, in darning the foot OF
stocking. darn on the right side Of
the fabric SO that the smoothest
side OF the darn will come next the
foot. This would also apply to the
mending Of any sort Of underwear,
but II you are mending a bit Of fine
table linen darn on the wrong side,
so that the smoothest side OF the
darn will be out.
Never make a square darn, for
it puts additional strain on spot al!
ready worn and ready to break. 1t
is far better to reinforce the fabric
by graduated lines OF tiny stitches
so use a diamond.shaped darn.
Be careful to go over and under
the edge OF the hole, so as to pre-
vent the formation OF ridge.
Last don't" OF all, don't put the
thing under the machine, however
lauded its darning attachment, for
nothing can ever look or wear like
fine, dainty. carefully done hand
darning.
