HAZARDS OF DENTISTRY
 INCLUDE DEEP SEA DIVING

Why is a dentist like a deep sea diver?
 The answer that's easy he isn't.
 Nevertheless Doc Scruby did bit of underwater work this week which, while it may not make him eligible for the Deep Sea Divers Union, does at least demonstrate that Doc isn't afraid of water-on the outside.
 It seems that the doc was doing a little job of sweeping up discard ed bicuspids, wisdom teeth, broken forceps, and other odds and ends such as collect during the course of a busy day in "a dentists office. Having amassed nice dustpan full Doc escorted it to a handy crack in the wharf beside his office and con- signed it to the bniny deep. But just as the trash disappeared thru the crack Doc nearly swallowed his own teeth when he saw a perfectly good plate of store teeth. promised for the next day, grinning goodbye to him as 1t took the dive.
 The tide was in. Doc dashed to his office, donned his hip boots and sprinted for the float, where he leaped into a skiff and padded mad ly under the wharf.
 Fortunately the clear water en- abled him to spot the missing mo- lars. and over the side he went. The Doc claims the water didn't come over the top of his boots, and that he didn't have to come up for air but twice.
 Anyway the customer got his teeth on time, and Doc Scruby is apparently recovering safely from the heroic rescue.

Sawyer Urges Airmail For Alaska Along Int. Highway Route
DEASE LAKE. TESLIN AND AT LIN ARE NAMED AS CALL POINTS ALONG THE ROUTE

WASHINGTON D. O., Jan. 31- Ernest w. Sawyer, member of the Pacific-Yukon Highway commission, said that he is urging the postmas- ter general to establish an airmail line for the Territory of Alaska. He proposed a route from Seattle via Vancouver and Dawson. Saw yer differed from other proposers of air routes who would furnish Alaska with air mail service
 One route proposed was from the United States to Alaska, Russia and and China via Ottawa. Toronto and the Mackenzie. It is said that this route would be over sparsely settled districts and a comparative wilder ness.
 The route along the proposed In- ternational highway from Seattle to Fairbanks would include many lakes which could be used for hy- droplane landings. Besides, the area along the highway would pro- vide many landing fields.
 The route over the Mackenzie has been flown but once. while the pro posed route along the highway has been flown five times. Airmail for Juneau could be taken along the eastern side of the mountains to Atlin.
 Sawyer named the following plac- es as call points on the proposed route: Seattle, Vancouver, Harrison Hot Springs, Seton Lake, Prince George, Stuart Lake, Babing Lake, Taka Lake, Dease Lake, Teslin Lake, Lake Atlin, Lake Carcross, Whitehorse, Selkirk, Dawson, Eagle and Fairbanks. He recommended that American and Canadian postal authorities work out a cooperative system soon.

HAPPY DAYS COME AGAIN; ; BUT NOT FOR ALASKA

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9O- If a person has a toothache and feels sick all over, his dentist will be able to do more than numb the pain and feel sympathetic. He will be allowed to give his patient a drink of genuine whiskey.
 Officials of the terasury and jus tice departments said today an or der permitting dentists to have six quarts of whiskey annually for of flee use, now allowed physicians, is soon to be signed by Secretary Mel lon and Attorney General Mitchell.

BY MARY MARSHALL.

TINE very thought Of a cotton
house dress once filled the well
dressed woman with feelings of
i disgust. If she did some of her
own houseWork she probably
wore one during the busy hours of the
day. but she made quick change II
guests were announced. and she would
as soon have thought of doing her
shopping and marketing in her night
gown as in this cotton work dress that
She felt was SO entirely lacking in
smartness.
But gradually this situation has
changed. And the present-day cotton
house dress, though most reasonable in
price, often has good line and as much
claim to smartness as an expensive
street dress of light wool or silk. 1t
is, however, just as appropriate and
comfortable as the clumsy dress 1t re-
placed. This really significant change
in the status of the cotton house dress
is partly due to the rise and recognf-
ton of the sports dreSs-which, in turn,
is due To the fact that fashionable
women play golf and tennis and take
part in all sorts of outdoor sports that
demand comfortably adjusted clothes.
The art and skill of the greatest dress
makers and designers here and abroad
have been directed to producing sports
dresses that are at once appropriate

AQuiline Nose Has Admirers

"Snubs and Romans are plentiful
enough" says Miss Creevy in Dickens
Nicholas Nickelby," land there are flats
Of all sorts and sizes, but perfect
aQuilines, 1 am sorry to say, are scarce,
and we generally use them for uni
forms and public characters"
It has often been observed that a
large number of famous men and wom-
en- have had aqUiline noses and that Is
doubtless because, as students OF physi-
ognCmy tell us, the aqulline nose be-
tokens a good intellect. with a more
than ordinary force of purpose. Charlie
magne, they say, had an aquiline nose,
and so did Christopher Columbus.
Among writer's there was Defoe, the
author of 1.-The Pilgrims Progress" as
well as George Eliot and George Sands,
both of whom, it must be admitted, had
noses a little too beaklike to be per
feet aquiline."
The girl who has an aquiline nose
may have waited in vain for an Amer
ican writer of modern novels or short
stories to portray a fair heroine possess
ing this type Of nose. Rather small.
straight or slightly upturned noses seem
to be more in demand nowadays. Still
the nose that is like an eagle's--for
auuiline means, of course. eagle-like-
has had its admirers in literature.
Edgar Allen Poe seems to have re-
garded a well formed aquiline nose as
more beautiful even than a Greek nose.
When he describes Ligeia, who was his
ideal of beauty as well as of intellect,
he says: Nowhere but in the graceful

and smart, and the modern house dress
follows very. closely in the path of the
sports dress.
MANY Of the new cotton dresses
show color contrast that gives
them unusual distinction. The darker
section may comprise the skirt portion
attached to a 1.ip yoke which is a con-
tinuation of the lighter bodice section,
or the skirt and lower portion of the
bodice, with deep bodice yoke of a
lighter shade. Brown pique Is COM
bined with soft yellow pique in this
way or dark blue pique with white
pique. Green and white and deep rose
and white are similarly combined.
AmCAg the materials used for a group
OF generally useful wash Summer
dresses one finds plaid or checked ging-
ham, cotton broadcloth, white or COL
ored pique, cotton shantung and linen.
Wolfe, batiste, lawn and swiss are
used for dresses of a sheerer sort that
many women will wear this Summer as
they might have worn silk dresses in
past seasons.
Some of the new cotton or linen
dresses are made with accompanying
jackets that extend their usefulness.
usually tneSe jackets are OF DARKER
shade than the dresses. A white dress
trimmed with navy blue or dark brown
may have short straight jacket of the
darker color Usually these dresses are
sleeveless or short sleeved with long
sleeVed jacket.

Lashes Painted
10 Match Hats

A new idea in makeup was noticed
at Auteuil recently. Old-fashioned
mascara was replaced by new product
in light green, just the shade of the
tiny hat Of the blond wearer. Her eyes
were blue-green without this new lash
shadow, and they became quite green
under its influence. What the poor
brunettes are going TO do to keep up
with this fad Is question, but there
probably will be some solution so that
they need not be deprived of indulging
in this fashion.
An interesting coat noted at the
races was in black wool crepe cut on
the diagonal The top Gid not quite
meet above the belt and was finished
all around by overlapping leaves Of the
material, like a rather flat wreath,
which ended in the belt at either side.
Boutonnieres are to the fore again.
If you can afford fresh flowers, so
much the better. But If you feel that
too much of a drain on your purse
every day. do not go out in the new
Spring suit without some sort of but
tonhole ornament to match the trim
ming detail of the costume. One Of
the most amusing novelties noted at
the Ritz recently was a perky little
boutonniere made of the tiniest tubes
Of white pique, each one edged in black,
ike the suit. And the stems were care
fully wrapped in tinfoil, as if they were
real flowers.
Just as gloves have gone light, either
matching the hat in pure white, or the
faintest shade of beige or gray, so
stockings have become darker. Either
gunmetal or slightly bronze effect
are popular shades to accompany black.
Matching the footwear, if the frock is
in a color Is new fashion. Dark wine,
ctr b
ings are unusual, but undeniably ele-

Wedding Day Lore
Still Holds Sway

It is supposed to be a good omen to
have the sun shine on ones wedding
day Apparently the omen is especially
good IL the day Is cloudy and the sun
comes out for an interval at the time
Of the wedding ceremony, or as the bride
and groom return from church or start
out on their wedding journey.
II was once considered a good omen
II the bride wept on her wedding day.
If the wedding takes place in church
1t is bad luck, according to an old Eng
lish superstition, for the bride and
groom TO go out by way of the chancel
or vestry door. To insure good luck
they should go out the main door Of the
church
There is a superstition to the effect
that the girl, who reads the wedding
ceremony from beginning to end, will
never be a bride herself.
Old-time brides used to put little
piece of broken bristie in their gloves
when they were going to be married.
This was supposed to insure them
against the possibility Of having scold-
ing husband.
A crumb of bread and a few grains
of salt held in the hand or tucked in
the glove at the time of the wedding
ceremony used TO be regarded as a
guard against possible poverty after
marriage.
At most weddings even now some
reference is made to the fact that the
one who catches the brides bouquet
when she tossss it from the stairs will
be the one next wed. There was an
old superstition to the effect that the
maid who wore the pins with which
the bride had pinned her veil would be
the next married.
Girls on their wedding days still jest
ingly carry out the suggestion in the
old lines bidding them TO wear:
Something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something
blue"

White Hat With
Matching Scarf

The number of Partisan women who
have decided that they want some sort
of scarf to match their white hats is
almost as large as the number of those
who have suddenly blossomed forth In
white headgear. Just as headgear has
been almost uniformly black for several
years, or at least definitely matching
the outfit with which 1t was worn, so
has the white craze swept over the
feminine world. Looking down the
stands during the races at Auteuu one
saw that more than half of the women
wore pure white hats, exclusive OF those
who wore white and black comblna-
tions, which accounted for half the
remainder. Many OF them had some
sort of white scarf, varying in material
from white fur to pique or even cro-
cheted straw. Most of these scarfS tied
SnugIy around the throat, sometimes
with rather a large bow, or again just
the perky ends. When they were OF the
softer material they were often looped
over the ends, held by some sort OF pin.
Nine. Schiaparelli wore a coat of
black wool crepe, fastened with the
little metal snappers in silver which
she uses this season. They are much
like overshoe clasps. The collar of her
coat.was cut like a tiny dolman. Under
it white pique kerchief with black dots
was knotted in front.
Nine. LIE Monnier was seen wearing
a tricorne in black bangkok bound with
matching grosgrain. 1t was raised high
on the head at the left side to show the
hair and two tiny white plumeS were
used as trimming, also on the left side.
Sailor hats are beginning to be no.
ticeable with the advent of sunny days.
while they remain classic in type, brims
are likely to be tipped one way or the
other to add to their becomingness.
Occasionally a ribbon band slips through
and ties in a fiat bow at the back un-
derneath the brim. Another novelty
seen was the knitted white hat. worn
with brown suit, which was finished
all around with a band OF brown crepe
de chine finely pleated in something
that dimly resembled Charlotte Cor
day effect. An eye veil also appeared
on this hat.
One of the novelties that are almost
too intriguing for the feminine heart
to resist are the new fichus that bring
back all the souvenirs of grandmother's
day, with just a suggestion of dried
lavender, and yet are essentially modern.
One of the lovelieSt seen is in the
finest of tulle in a creamy shade that
goes perfectly with the motifs of old
lace that are appliqued all over it and
make a solid border around the fichu.
In reality this fichu is a deep shawl
collar in form and Is finished with two
tie ends. The lace, needless to say, is
as delicate as cobweb. Such fichu
makes the perfect finishing touch on a
black dress, be it crepe or georgette,
and is decidedly effective over colors
as well.

What Do Noses Show
OF Characteristics?

It is true that singers frequently have
noses that are too broad TO conform to
the accepted standards Of feminine
beauty?
The typical singers nose is said to be
wide at the top and broad and muscu-
lar in the wings. 1t has been observed
too. that singers whose noses were, to
begin with, rather delicate and slender
acquired in the course of their training
broad noses of the sort described. Jenny
Lind had a nose that was even ugly.
The nostrils were broad and the ridge
though spacious was fat. This forma-
ton was said to be especially favorable

However. among notable mon who po--

Width between the eyes is said to
indicate ability in judging distances and
conditions. It was especially marked in
the face of George Washington, who
was an able surveyor, and, of course,
an excellent Judge OF conditions.

Empress Eugene
Inspirer of Hats
Easter hats are as varied as suits.

Easter hats are as varied as suits.
In millinery circles Spring, 1881, has
been joccsely referred to as This year
of face" But We must report that New
York women are showing decided lik-
ing for trimmed hats.
To accompany the most formal suit
or ensemble the hats like those worn in
the days Of the Empress Eugene have
been revived. Perched high on the
head, with a delightfully."- flirtatiouS tilt
over one eye, they are trimmed often
times with feathers, and are extremely
fiattering when worn by the right per-
son in Just the right manner.
The sailor, a rather severe style, has
been joyously accepted, especially by the
very young. And, near relative of the
sailor, there is the cup-and-Saucer hat,
with very shallow crown, which looks
for all the world like an inverted tea
cup, and rather small brim.
The white feather is shown by a good
many hats; that is, the trimming of
tiny white feathers, either punches of
little quillS not more than 2 inches
long or more sweeping soft feather
placed low at the side and toward the
back.
The halo hat, talked about so much
early in the season, is gaining in popu-
larity. Usually it is made of knitted
straw or silk, and the halo is of braid
or ribbon in a coSftrasting shade. In.
deed, all types of knitted hats are inn
portant, either in silk, wool or straw:
for straw is knitted now, with the vogue
for knitting hat crowns and turbans.
The many patent leather accessories
in the way of belts and purses have
called forth the hat of rough, shiny
straw trimmed with cire satin ribbon.
Flowers are everywhere in the new
millinery mode. They perch beneath
and above the brims of the hats with
tilted brims, and they encircle the tricot
turbans which perch far back on their
wearers' heads.

Cleaning

1t seems too bad that there are not
women who could be hired by the day
to come and clean the clothes that can
not be put through the ordinary laun-
dry process. To be sure, fine frocks
should be sent to the cleaner, but there
are many garments and accessories of
dress that need occasional cleaning
that could be taken care of at home
at much smaller expense than send-
ing them to the cleaner. Yet it would
be most unusual to find a laundress
who could attend to the pressing of
silk and woolen garments that need
such attention. The result Is that most
women have to attend to these mat
ters themselves and they eventually be-
come rather efdcient at IL.
