Healthy Teeth.

Hair and teeth need prevention

gets bad, it is very hard to bring 1t

stiff dentists bill. And you may de-
velop several dozen physical troubles
as result of tooth infection.
OF course you keep your teeth
healthy by keeping them clean. You
know that, you know also you shoul5

please tell me the difference In the
way you should dress and act at a
formal tea and informal tea? Are
hats ever removed? Yours truly.

1 think, G.. D., that we "aot'' much
the Same upon either OF these occar
sions, We greet our hostess, possibly
we mention that it is so very nice to
see her again, or. that we have not
seen her in a long time, and we move
on TO mingie among the other guests.
If the tea is small, and the hostess
herself is pouring from a small tea
table, Just as she does upon the ordi-
naxys occasion almost any afternoon
when q caller drops in, we seat our
selves In the circle of conversing
friends and gradually drop into the
conversation in q natural manner.
We are. Of course, careful not to
burst into the conversation with an
explosion and ask at once what 1t is
all about, and thus pick up the thread
Of what has gone before. Shortly the
trend of the talk win come to us as 1t
progresses or some one will volunteer
enlightenment.
When our hostess pours tea she
may inquire Of us, with a look rather
than a word, lest 1t break into the
conversation, whether or not we wish
the sugar that she holds in the tongs
TO be dropped into our tea. The same
gesture may be used for the hot
water. which viii make our cup of
tea a weak one; for the lemon or the
cream. In each case we accept or
decline with q nod, which does not
keep the hostess busy interrupting
the chatter about her tea table. But
that her Interruptions may be avoid
ed, IL is necessary for us to keep an
interested eye on our hostess until the
tea has been poured and changed
hands. So much for the informal tea
as regards our actions.
Dressing for the informal tea, OF
for any tea, is not Of great moment
other than that our accessories must
a. always, be in perfect keeping with
our attire. A plain blue serge one
piece dress or its equivalent, with ki6
or suede gloves; a hat that is trim
but not sports hat; shoes that are
plain, but not sports shoes, and a fun
neckpiece that can be kept on in the
living room If one desires. A crisp
preferably dainty, handkerchief is
also one of the necessities of the cos
tune.
The formal tea, so called. is re
moved from its informal cousin only
In that a greater number OF people
are gathered, and that the hostess
Instead of informally pouring the tea
herself, asks two intimate friends to
pour" for her. And, too, the tea
Is served from the large table In the
dining room, with chocolate or coffee
at one end and the tea service al
the other. The hostess moves about
greeting her guests, and seeing that
those who are apt to be congenial
meet each other.
Now. then. at this tea. you may
still wear the serge, If 1t is your de
sire to do so, or you may wear a
silk, rather of the tailored order, or

the use of wide pine board set on end

Finished in natural pine, waxed to a

Capt. Wilson added that two large

Capt. Wilson today expressed re-

On crutches, at the side of his wife
and daughter, Belfield declared that
he needed liquor in the house for
