Why Women Fail
Written by DIR. G. D. Shipherd.

How fastidious is the average
young woman! Realizing the
Importance Of a pleasing per-
sonal appearance, she strives IN
every way to make herself as at
tractive as possible. She spends
hours in brushing and arranging
her hair, massaging her face and
manicuring her nails. And when
it comes to clothes, she lavishes
all the money she can spare on
her wardrobe. After her gar
ments are purchased with a view
to quality and style, she must see
that they are worn properly. Her
hat must be perched upon her
head at exactly the right angle
to bring out the beauty of her
face; her gowns must enhance
the gracefulness Of her figure;
her gloves must not be the least
wrinkled or soiled or otherwise
mar the charm of her hands; and
her shoes must show the dainti-
ness of her feet.
And yet the entire effect of
the girls appearance may be
spoiled by one feature which she
has overlooked-her teeth. We
do not mean that she has failed
to brush them. No lady would
be so careless as that. Nor has
she neglected to have the cavities
filled. But, ten chances to one,
they are patched with cleaning,
glazing pieces Of gold which flash
and sparkle every time she
speaks or smiles. And sometimes,
when the light falls a certain
way, the Filings lose their lustre
and look like large holes.
Poor girl! She has squandered
so much time and money in the
attempt to make herself lovely
and has failed utterly. Her gold
bedecked teeth may be the cause
of her losing the love Of "the
only man in the world" for if
her hero has refined taste, he
certainly cannot be expected to
admire girl whose teeth look
as cheap and gaudy as an In
dams or a Negroes.
If the young woman is wise,
she will safeguard her future
happiness by having her teeth
especially those in the front part
of her mouth-crowned with
porcelain jackets. This beauti-
full covering made of the purest
enamel slips on over the tooth,
making it as perfect as new. The
jacket does not leave any dark
rim close to the gum, as in the
case of the dangerous pivot
tooth. Nor is it necessary to
kill the nerve or cut off the
tooth. This is an important fact,
as teeth whose nerves are killed
very seldom last longer than 10
years and are very liable to
poison the whole system by rus
infection.
The Bailey Dental Organiza-
ton is making a speciality of
porcelain jackets and those they
produce are true works Of art.
Men and women who have heard
Of the remarkable invention and
the wonderful satisfaction it
gives, come to them from all
parts of the middle west. Wom-
en-, in particular, are delighted
with the porcelain jacket for
they cannot help Knowing that
it has improved their appear

Latest Idea to Have Bunch of Fruit Embroidered Cobwe

knows this who has tried to wear a
hat with cherries. Somehow fruit
does not blend we'll except over the
head Of sculptor's Bacchus or in the
coiffures of Greek dancing girls who
join hands to form a frieze. The
average woman's face does not lend
itself happily to an ornamentation Of
fruit, although it goes we'll with
flowers, birds and feathers.
Therefore, those who make hats
have no easy path to follow in the
production of delectable things made
Of grapes and their leaves. They
must be very careful. They must not
offend the Anglo-Saxon face.
The small hat does not carry grapes

gance when used to accentuate tho
almost bare legs.
In this country stockings have be-
come so fine that they arc mere
shadows. but in France, where they
have disappeared entirely and where
women go to the races and appear on
the stage with Greek cothurnes laced
over their legs, one begins to think
that stockings are, after all, merely
a bit Of modesty.
The stocking Of the hour il GER

Is the most outrageous piece of daring
that has been attempted since leg
coverings were invented. The mesh
Is so fine that it disappears from view
and throws into bold relief whatever

The bunch of grapes above the ankle
IS considered very smart The Ameri-
can woman is so proud of her slim
ankle that she would hate to enlarge

And so there are many things in the

De midsummer madness. They are
probably ebullitions Of relief from
strain and death.

moralists are trying to make us be-

The use of the grape when a great

or a garland of these grape leaves
done in chiffon, satin or muslin.
The grapes themselves are not as
easy to manage as the leaves, but
those who delight in highly skillful
ornamental work find new field of
achievement in the production of
punches of grapes that are astonish-
ingly like those nature produces.
These are applied to gowns. They
are looped into the girdle after the
fashion of roses. They sometimes
hang from the shoulders at the back,
when the gown is low and the arms
bare.
They appear as brocade on evening
gowns. 1t is probably too late for the
weavers to incorporate punches OF
grapes in the superb materials that
come from their looms these days. but
there is certain method of making
a kind of imitation brocade by en-
broidering or stamping the fruit on
the surface.
No one asks the dyers to remain
true to the original color of the
grape. although there Is a wide va
riety of tones to be drawn from
arbors. and one need not 60 into In
dian red, Nile blue or geranium pink
in order to get a lovely effect.
Scarlet grapes are fashionable be-
cause they are caprice. a defiance of
nature that always pleases women.
But there are various shades OF green
that are really exquisite in summer
apparel, as well as all the tones OF
mauve and Burgundy that lend them
selves to gray, dark blue and pale
yellow.
1t was a foregone conclusion that
those who make hats would see in the
fashion for grapes and their leaves
a pleasureable and commercial sug-
gestion.
Those in the trade complain Of hav-
ing a difficult time in being held down
to two seasons for hats each far In
advance Of the climate. So, whenever
a new thing appears over the horizon
that they can match up quickly and
place in their trade as a lure to those
who need new headgear SO much the
better for their purses and the stimu-
lus to industry.

Grape leaves are more pliable than
grapes themselves, and there are bor-
