From Mo and the valley Of the

BEAUTIFUL TEETH.

That Solomon admired beautiful
teeth in a woman is to be inferred
from the Song of Songs which is
usually attributed to him. You
may remember that he there says
Of Shulamith. Thy teeth like q
flock Of shorn sheep, smooth and
clean. all of which bear twins and
one bereaved is not among them "
To his contemporaries familiar
with rural life IT was known that
sheep Immediately after being
shorn were taken to water ana
washed. thus rendering them spot
lessly white. Apparently in the
DAYS of Solomon. before dentists
and dentrIhces. even though the
charming woman may have had
white teeth they were not always

II. 80
In our day and in our country,
where there is perhaps a greater
zeal in care Of the teeth than in
any other country in the world, We
are prone to forget how great a
distinction IL was in days gone by
for man or woman to survive youth
with a full set of white teeth. In
fact, when a distinguished beauty
did retain her beautiful teeth II
was specially commented upon.
The Empress Josephine. her con-
temporaries tell US. had extremely
bad teeth. Knowing this. she took
care to smile SO that sne did not
show them. buff we are to be-
lieve her enemies-this did not as'
together conceal the fact that they
were far from perfect. One of her
biographers says: We must not
mention her mouth; her teeth were
awful. Perhaps Napoleon did not
remark this fact at first; Corsicar
women nearly always had bad teeth
whenever they are lucky enough tC
have any at all. for most Of them
lose their teeth before they ars
twenty-one years Of age. So thfs
little imperfection in Nine. de
Beauharnais' personal appearance

ice men, the President rode through
the park along the Speedway on the
banks of the Potomac River and then
up Pennsylvania Avenue, through the
Capitol grounds and back to the White
House.
When the President arrived at the
Capitol Senator Borah, of Idaho,
leader Of the "irreconcilable" oppo-
nents of the treaty the President is
fighting to have ratified, was standing
at the curbing. Senator Borah recog-
nized the President and waved his
hand. The President smiled broadly
and waved in return to his leading op-
ponent in the treaty fight.
Il think the President is looking
very WE'LL" said Senator Borah later.
Senate Leaders Aroused
Several Senators and Representa-
tives who happened to be riding to the
Capitol in automobiles following that
of the President spread word through
the Capitol that~the President had sud
denly appeared, and rumor soon had
it that the President had gone to the
Capitol to confer on the treaty stua-
tlon or to address the Senate. Ad-
ministra ton Senators hurried about
trying to find the President, and did
not learn for some time that the
Executives car had not stopped but
had gone straight through the Capitol
grounds and then returned to the other
end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
The day was the first balmy one since
the President returned to active direc-
tion of affairs at the White House, and
the decision to take the trip was made
suddenly.
Dr. Grayson said the President had
been much benefited by his ride, and
that an examination Of his blood pres
sure on his return showed it to be quite
normal.
The President will take frequent
long rides through the city and parks.
Future trips will be regulated by the
weather, he said.
