b'''''t III d HOullS lliotllf-t al lllN She craves that dover for her baby which she has enjoyed, or which per haps, has been denied her Knowing that it is an inestimable gift to women, she prays for beauty for hcf little daughter. Will it be granted her? That depends greatly upon the young mother herself
 Time VII fade the apoplectlc redness of the new. strange lttl, face that she presses to her breast to proper hue Time will thatch the bare little dome that crowns the head. It is only the features that need give her grave concern in those first hours Are the fea- lures outlined or are they an al most indistinguishable mass? If they are nebulous, they must be encour- aged.
 The contour of the face is a most important consideration Especially II I'll III Hi III l'l OI lIt vie" Il Is what makes the first distinct i'm pression upon the beholder. ahd upon the first impression much de bends The growing Improvement in the science of dentistry shows that the first teeth. considered morc unimportant item to be gotten rid of as soon as possible, is a mistake. The first teeth have an important bearing on the second
 In this advanced stage of dentis- try-and let me interrupt myself here long enough to say that the the Europeans to be the best in the world-it is known that there is no need of an "undershoI" or "overshot" or otherwise malforned jaw Intelligent dentistry teaches the mother that unless the milk teeth appear at the proper time and in the proper place the second or permanent tteth. will appear in the wrong place and time.
 Had King Alfonso, of Spain. had the benefit of the intelligent den ttstry of today he would not hayn his singular and unpleasant-h auo- mics describe it an uncanny-p"cfile | or this reason it is great misfor- tune for baby to lose one of it's first teeth. The child's jaws should both be large enough to accommo- date the full set of thirty-two per manent teeth
 When a child loses one of tt milk teeth nature, who is a diplo- mat, always trying to adjust condi- tions to meet others, contracts the jaw by so much. If more than one tooth is lost the jaw Shrinks a con siderable distance, and there is not enough room for the full set of new teeth which will overrun each other, giving the unpleasant crowded con dition of the teeth that is unbecou,. ing and inconvenient and dangerous to the health of the teeth.
 Protrusion of the upper or the lower jaw may be caused by thuml sucking, this habit leading to a complete change in the facial out line. Children may acquire the ugly squirrel face" so called because the upper lip protrudes and the upper jaw and teeth are too promi- nent. Don't let the baby suck it's thumb
 Resolve to take your little one regularly to a dentist, at least three times a year. that, if there are any cavities, they may be filled. but especially so that any habits or lack of care dangerous to the teeth may be discovered
 The adenoid face is another hin drance to the beauty of child that must be avoided.
 Usually the child breathes through it's mouth. the lips being unbeconl- ingly parted. There is strained look in the eyes and about the mus, cles of the mouth, showing that the child breathes with ddiff1culty. Adenoids, every young mother should know, are polypi that grow at the back of the nasal passage.
 Be sure. if your child has diff culty in breathing, to take him tO physician who will remove them.
 A we'll shaped nose is a most dc, sirable feature. It gives distinction to face that might otherwise be commonplace. It's size should be in harmony with the face-neither too large nor too small The bridge should be well defined, but not sharp. The nostrils should be well CT who scrutinizing her infants face, sees that 1t has large nostrils, for they indicate that 1t gives promise of strong and active lungs. The widenostrilled person is not fore doomed to tuberculosis
 Suppose that the young mother decides that her baby's nose is too tiny and too Flat. When baby has been on the planet long enough to learn the trick of breathing well, of feeding and sleeping and other
