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.

MODERN TIRED YOUNG MAN.`

A NEW AND UGLY SOCIAL PHENOMENON.

Every one with his eyes open must have become familiar with a new type of young man in London. He is a social phenomen on. There is something wrong with him. He is between the ages of 15 and 28 years, and his distinctive characteristic is lack of masculinity, states the Daily Express.

Hostesses this season have found him to be an affected niecompoop, and girls of his own age appeal to him as little as he appeals to them. It a consensus of opinion could be taken among young women this type of man, always of undergraduate age, would be voted a complete aas.

I cannot bear the modern young man." is the common cry of girls of 20. He has nothing to talk about. He is insipid."

A 'CULT.

Londoners, with characteristic tolerance, affected to laugh at the effeminate youth when he first appeared in poble some time! Ex- ago. But he is becoming a cult, aggerated dress is the leat of his peculiar ities. His voice is weary and affected, his pose is feminine, his outlook anemic, and his general attitude of life bloodless. The public schools bare not succeeded in kicking this out of him. he is thriving and in- cressing in the universities, and it is a solemn fact that young men in other stations in life are gradually apeing his dress and

manner.

Men in the thirties who fought in the trenches find this type of youth intolerable. They have nothing in common. They find him as futile as young women find him; a vain, self-centred, lifeless, not-worth-while creature, interested to a ridiculous extent in the niceties of dress and unimportant snob- beries of life.

What is wrong with him? What is the eause of his type? He is not common to this country. A tinge of effeminacy, Ima been noted among the young men of other

countries.

It is not suggested that he is sexually depraved, yet his attitude of mind is not normal. Is he a social curiosity due to the wer: The back swing of the pendulum; the peaulty the world is paying for the wave of masculinity that spent itself in

The dandy of the 18th century was at least a mad This type of roath in an ex- quisite without masculinity. His languid pose, his silly, clipped weary voice, his affected gestures, and even the scent he has begun to employ, can be noted in any public place in London.

MYSTERY OF FUTURE.

What is his future? He is not a child; he is at an age when a young man should be preparing to 'grapple with the realities of Dfe, The not-worth-while young man, unless he pulls himself together and Lequires a few of the ordinary, common attributes of masculine youth, will make himself the laughing stock of this age. In the commercial life to which he will soon be called he will be a poor joke; if he goes abroad he will becoine the worst advertise- meat this country could put forward.

He is not a worker. All he asks is to be allowed to drift fatuously through life admiring the neckties, the highnecked jum. pers, and the Oxford trousers of his tribe. He is a snob and a fool, and the sad thing about lum is his pride in his" preciousness.

Is he a swing back to the sgpbbery which the war broke down? Is some deep-seated instinet for the survival for such things having its revenge on a generation which was too young to play the part of men and is now glorying in being neither man nor

This type of young man would not be worth discussing were it not that, however unpleasant, he is considered by some to be a symptom,
