GLORIFYING YOURSELF
NEA Service Staff Writer
BY ALICIA HART

NEA Service Staff Writer
 The smart fall bride lets the hair dresser who is to arrange her wed- ding coiffure see both veil and go- ing-away hat. She knows, and 50 does he, that the perfect bridal coif- fure is one which is as fiattering when topped by the going-away hat as when worn with the veil or head dress.
 Furthermore, she takes both along with her a week before the ceremony, has her hair done the new way then and there. This gives her week to get used to a new hairstyle and her hair plenty of time to be trained in the new way. Then, the day before or the day of the ceremony, when she goes again, there will be no confusion, no time-wasting, no lugging back and forth of the veil and hat.
 With the widely discussed cap- shaped headdresses which are worn far back on the head, a long bob is quite lovely. So are top- knots of curls placed just above the forehead With a coronet of

flowers, to which the veil is at- tached, an upswept hairstyle might be in order. With the still popular baby coiffure, done with tiny, short ringlets all over the head, the yelling should cover as little of the head as possible.
 BRIDE MUST HAVE
 RIGHT COIFFURE
 To wear with an old fashioned. crinolined wedding gown, one prom inent hair stylist pins chig- non, composed of five short ringlets, at the back of a coiffure that is waved softly back from the face and up at sides. After the ceremony, the chignon may be removed, leav- ing simple upswept hairstyle, de- signed to be right with any num- Der of types of hats.
 With a figure -molding gown of white silk jersey with Grecian draperies, a coiffure of sculpured curls is shown. The going away hat, to be worn atop the same coiffure, of course, is little pill-box with draped, chiffon scarf at the back.

pyorrhea dntersti tial gingivitis Riggs disease) almost inevitably develops on the unused side of the mouth where missing teeth lead to the habit of one-sided mastication.
 A tooth you can use in your btlsi- ness of living is worth thousand dollars to any one except genuine tramp, even though first class tooth costs only a hundred dollars installed.
 If every one were compelled to undergo at least annual inspection, cleaning or whatever prophylaxis or treatment the teeth might re- quire, this shameful neglect of teeth and tramp-like toothlessness would scarcely occur among intelligent people. It is only when the teeth have been neglected over a long period that tedious, difficult and sometimes painful dental treatment or operations become necessary. One with the sense to make regular visits to his dentor rarely has to endure pain or serious discomfort in the dental chair.
 The problem of filling a gap left by the loss of tooth seems great ly simplified by recent development of American dentistry, the "peg" tooth: The, dentor inserts in the jaw bone under the gap a vitalium screw (vitalium is a metal alloy of strength and without irritating properties-it is much used in bone surgery for these reasons) and then caps the head of the screw with 8 porcelain faced tooth. Thus 8 ,use- full tooth is begged into the gap, without disturbing the teeth on either side of the empty space, as was necessary to insert 6 bridge heretofore. .ql y1
 Whether your dentor is prepared to install peg tooth or advises filling the gap with a bridge, remember there are more important considera- tions than personal appearance which sitould guide you. A function ally efficient denture will help to maintain good mastication, which is first aid to digestion. Normal rnasti- cation helps to maintain good nutri- ton of gums and teeth and prevent the encroachment of pyorrhea and the progress of dental carries. Fin ally, proper daily use of all the teeth favors the ideal state of nu- triton, general physical fitness, good spirits, vite.

A PRIVATE WORD TO ALL
 TRAMPS

A while ago the conductor of this column, ever looking for trouble, undertook 8 round-up of tramps, in the endeavor to elevate their status by raising their self-respect.
 Many individuals, we observed, with tramp instincts lead an eden tulous existence not so much from false economy as from fear of the dental chair. Others who would lose no time in having some sort of den- ture intalled to fill the gay left by loss of front tooth, try to get by with back teeth missing, in the be- lief that they can conceal the mutt lation by keeping their face straight and their mouth closed.
 Back teeth are more important in mastication than front teeth. Use of not some but ALL of the teeth as nature intended is essential for preservation of the health and beauty of the teeth. For example,

tie-up, if it becomes too fixed and too permanent, is like any other fixation. It can take the place of general experience and the ability to mix. Eventually it robs the child of a chance to round out.
 Lefty, I shall call her, for I don't know her name, is always tied up with this friend, who is a nice girl. So far, so good. But you can see that each of them is completely in- different and even mean to other children. Not so good.
 What each is doing, actually, is escaping to the other from the en- ergetic world around them. They relax in each others company, and need to make no effort when there.
 I am sure that they are alike in type, both emotional introverts, very sensitive and unable to stand the roughage of a crowd, or any give-and-take at all.
 Well, you can't change their na- lures, that's sure. And 1t is better for them to have each other than to do as many such children do, play alone together.
 Could you, by any chance, find another child of the same stripe and cleverly bring about trium- verate?

Six-Point Program Outlined
After summarizing the various ac-

during the fiscal year ended June go
1888, and outlining the status of child
labor, workmen's compensation and
other labor laws in the various States,
Miss Perkins concluded with the fol-
lowing exposition of a six-point pro-
gram which she regarded as vital in
the continued progress of American
workers:
"In order to achieve a goal of bal
anced progress, we need to continue in
our American system set of economic
and social principles which are in &C.

ficers were installed and fair amount
of business was transacted.

the entertainment committee has
promised real show in the very near
future.
Of general interest to the potters of

be held at the home of the brides

them the best.
