these spots are not healthy ones

The SYMPTOMS Of tOothache are
"uneasiness." "disinclination to sit
still" lack of repose." 'repug-
nance TO mediation" and aversion
to amiable discourse"
AS the disease develops, a ten
dency toward mistrust in a pre-
viously accepted order Of orthodox
theology manifests itself in the pa

dim abstraction; it becomes a def

too hot TO hold in ones mouth.
There are two kinds of tooth

We no favOrite artist. In black and

Forain for savage power, and for
charm, Poulbot. Neither is a new
love. but both have strengthened
the tie during the war: Forain, by
that magnificent series of prints, a
set of which Campbell Dodgson,
after first exhibiting in his house.

and Poulbot (who. / am told, has

Poulbot could. 1 doubt not. draw
anything, but he chose the gamin
as his pet theme, and having done
so, he has made the gamin his own.
Perhaps l should say, not precise

The same spirit that made for
victory in 1776 and the dark days
that followed is abroad today. Then
our grandmothers' mothers made
their own clothes, as we are doing
today, but they went even farther
and made the material itself. This
is impossible for US. 1t would be
farcial for us TO turn our backs on
the perfect machinery of today and
take up the hand looms and spin
ming wheels of our grandmothers.
But we can cut our material ac-
cording to our pattern. and our pat
tern must be simple and economi-
cal. When planning the spring
wardrobe (and now is a good time
to do it, for the shops are full OF
tempting materials and there is
more time than later on when the
clothes are really needed). choose

Allow your child 10 have company

DO not favor your own child's story
entirely, for though he may never
have told an untruth there is always
the possibility of a sliding from

teach lessons in honesty; play is so

child takes his play so seriously In
teaching a child 70 be honest in

must be honest in all their dealings

In my opinion. it is one of a wom-
ans duties to dress as we'll and at
tractively as she can. BY dressing
well. however. / do not mean hav-
ing a great many clothes. nor ex-
pensive ones. Neither do 1 believe
that a woman ought to spend a
great deal of time planning her
wardrobe; there are too many other
important things awaiting her con-
sideratiOn. For my own part, L try
10 get what l need at the beginning
Of the season. so far as L can fore
see my requirements, and l take
time enough to get the right things,
SO that 1 shall not be troubled and
annoyed about them afterward. L
DO not like to be interrupted to
spend an hour here and another
there looking for things 1 need,
when L can make a business of get
ting all such things in one definite
period of time and then forget
them. l insist that the best dressed
woman is the one who has the
right clothes for the right occasion,
clothes that are becoming as well
as suitable, so that she may be con-
sciOus that she is well and neatly
dressed. but quite unconscious Of
what she is wearing.
However, l had no intention Of
sermOnizing on clothes, although L
must confess that l often want TO.
What l was going TO tell you. what
you really asked me about, was how
1 planned the colors that 1 choose
for my wardrobe. You will laugh, 1
think, when 1 tell you. but the fact
is that 1 have thought out ever so
many of them during visits to the
aquarium, where so many of the
fish are exquisitely colored; and,
also, in visits to the Natural His
tory museum, where / have spent
a great many hours studying the
wonderful collection of birds in
their natural settings. From the
birds and the fish, / get all sorts Of
new ideas for color schemes, and
it is interesting trying 10 carry them
out. Some appear a bit startling
at first, but there is plenty of time
TO get used TO them, by observing
the hsh as they swim about or the
birds as they sit quietly where they
are placed. l love color; l think
many Of US. especially the artists,
feel that we need more pure coll
or and fewer Of the too long pOpu-
lar neutral tints, both in our home
surroundings and our own wearing
apparel today.
Color. however, must be used
carefully; garishness is not beauty.
1t seems to me that the beautiful
colors in the scales of the fish and
the plumage Of the birds are safe
guides to follow, provided that one
does not abuse them. OF course,
in making ones selection of col
Ors, the first consideration should
be what is becoming. No matter
how lovely a color scheme may be

it is worked out, il is worthless if
it does not suit. is not becoming
