The New York Evening Worldly
CCT M tired Of those people who think
bad teeth is the cause of every
disease" remarked Mrs. Jar.
IT'S the latest fad. and Clara Mud
ridge Smth thinks DR.. Gumm, the
young dentist who has opened an
office in the neighbor1hood, can, by
extracting all her teeth, do more for
her than Higher Thought"
We'll, don't you have anything to
do with her getting better acquainted
with young DIT Gilbert Gumm," adj
vised Mr.. JarT. "She's got hus-
band, and"-
wait a minute!" interrupted Mrs.
Jarr, with icy inslstence. I'm to be
the judge of what is right and proper
in the social relations of my friends,
If you please" and she put ninety
horsepower emphasis on the if"
''WeI, 1 don't want TO start any
thing" grumbled Mr.. Jarr. II only
know that your DIR. Quinn is a tor
turer'--
my DR.. Gumm?" asked Mrs. Jarr.
y L
introduced him 10 me. And, Clara
Mudridge- Smith happening to come
along l introduced him to her, and
she afterward remarked to me that
she thought him so interesting and so
cultured and so distangay-and then
you accuse me of conniving at clan
destine meetings and-and-and
don't know what" And Mrs Jarr
began to pipe her eye" as the sailors
say
you bet you don't know what"
retorted Mr.. Jarr hotly. II never said
anything about any clandestine meet
ings. All i said was that 1 thought
you'd better have nothing to do with
getting them better acquainted"
"well, who began it?" asked Mrs.
Jarr I'm sure / just happened 90
say Clara Mudridge-Smith thought
DR. Quinn was very interesting. She's
taken up teeth extracting for neuritis
and eugenics and social reforms, and
is reading all the books that should
be suppressed.
Although, and know IL Just as
well as know I'm sitting here" Mrs.
Jarr went on, CLARA Mudridge-
Smith has only taken up those sort OF
things because II Is very fashionable
now to discuss unpleasant topics.
"Time was, Clara says, when one
would have been afraid even to think
. of thinking about such things, but
now IL one is not fully conversant
with the most dreadful things one Is
regarded as not being at all cultured
or refined"
II think most women of these times
ore crazy" remarked Mr.. Jarr. 80
when that's said the most charitable
thing Is said, and we won't discuss
them or their discussions"
Perhaps you are right" remarked
Mrs. Jarr, with n sigh; poor old Mrs
Dusenberry thinks the world Is com.
ing TO an end, but l think all these
tAddists are using the silly womer
like Clara Mudridge- Smith simply tC
eXtort money from them.
why, as soon as DR.. Quinn hear
Clara declare she was a member Of
The Modern Mothers, he told her that
bad teeth were responsible for present
day social unrest It's bad teeth
makes Bolsheyism' he said"
"Why?" asked Mr.. Jarr in surprise
HE said bad teeth caused indiges
ton. indigestion created peevishness
peevishness prevented men and WON
en- from taking n broad view of If
and, not having a broad view OF life
they rebelled," Mrs. Jarr explained
ESQ, DR.. Quinn said women shoul,
bring pressure 10 bear on the Legis
5 lature TO pass laws compelling every
body to have their teeth attended 10
s especially women. Not having thei
= teeth attended TO, women got indl
D gestion, having Indigestion mad

Eyes. yes!" interrupted Mr. JarI
\ "You said all that before! All WON
