The Importance Of being modishly
dressed makes itself felt more and
more, and women who have only a
limited allowance for clothing require
good style without extravaganza ia
al their garments This puts the
talent and fine taste of designers at i

consideration when clothes are se-
iected

A Philadelphia dentist had the nerve
TO publish picture of Washington
with this statement underneath:
Our first president owed his won.
derful health TO sound teeth"
/ assume that the dentist knows more
about teeth than he knows about his
tory, writes a correspondent ia the
Philadelphia Ledger. Washington's
teeth were his one physical defect.
They amounted almost to a facial
blemish when he smiled, and one sour
critic of our first president who knew
him well said the reason he SO rarely
laughed was his dislike to showing the
raVages of decay Ia his mouth.
