After all-
the charm that outshines all others, when the lips part in a smile, is the gleam of daintily polished teeth, a charm which Calvert's Tooth Powder can help so much to secure.
Again, besides polishing so brightly those teeth that show, this delightful dentifrice gives the thorough antiseptic cleansing to the crevices, which dental hygiene requires. Being free from grit it cannot scratch or injure the enamel of the teeth.

About
thirty men were sitting round
the room talking to the policemen who had arrested them. Most of them were weary, some of those who had been let out on hall looked smart, a for still retained traces of their fateful debauch, and all had lost the divine afflatus which had flung them into a pair of blue arms. The Atmosphere was rather like that of a headmaster's study in which are gathered a group of bad-boys waiting for the cane.
CESAREAN NAVY.
A stoical old man dozed peacefully in a corner. So might dear old Falstaf have bared his grey hairs in a moment of regrettable trial. A navvy with the head of Roman emperor sat huddled in his clay soiled clothes, silent, grim He reminded me of Trajan's bust in the British Museum.

I wondered what odd circumstance had brought him in conflict with law and order. Among a group of seedy and tattered people I noticed a smart man wearing spots and bolding antat umbrella.
It was the strangest roomful, you can imagine.
How wonderfully British! I do not imagine that the police and prisoners of any other nation meet together as captor and captis in the same cheery, almost social, atmosphere.
"You broke thr law and I did my duty, and that's that. Let's forget it
That is the atmosphere in the "Pri soners Only room. Thumbs in belts, the policemen talked with their prisoners about racing, the weather and, as far 35 E

What'll I get?!! one prisoner asked. "Oh, about twenty without the op- tion replied the constable. Then a man with a notebook became busy with the day's evildoers, a name was called, and as the first prisoner pulled himself toge ther and strode out dockwards a flutter of interest went round the waiting room. and the old man awakened with a start and asked where he was.
SIR CHARTRES BIRON.
Enter the Royal Arms sat Sir Char tres Biron, white-haired and exceeding ly wise to human nature. He was deal. ing with a pathetic collection of women prisoners who had been waiting in a prisoners only' room of their own. Constable after constable described scenes of revelry in which it was alleged that the inadequate Bacchantes in black bonnets had been urged to deeds ni violence.
Some women pleaded guilty and got it all over quickly. Others clasped and unclasped their hands-appealing, thie, worn hands grimed with work-and tried to impresa Sir Chartres that "two glasses of port had been the cause of all their trouble. They were faed and went their way, some with an assumption of be Jated dignity, others jauntily. One old fady was so pleased with her sentence that she danced down the corridor ba tween two lines of policemen promising never to look upon the wine again.
SORRY AND FOOLISH.
Then one by one my friends of the wait- ing-room came "up for justice: Drunk and disorderly, drunk in charge of a motor-car, creating a disturbance, using insulting language. They all looked sorry for themselves and exceedingly foolish. Five deaf and dumb youths bad, it appeared, pushed a policeman off the payement.

Then Cesar strode into the dock, said he had been drank, accepted his fine with- out a trace of emotion, and walked from the dock with an invisible cohort before him and visible bettle sticking out of his coat-tails!

QUEEN'S THEATRE. Invisible Fear," an Stewart starring vehicle which was direct ed by Edwin Carewe, contains some beautiful sets which are highly artistic features.
Mr. Carewe believes that a
