HOW TO CULTIVATE A

PRETTY MOUTH,

No art or artifice can make a large month into a small one, but a great deal can be done to prevent a large mouth from look ing larger than it really is and also to prevent an ordinary mouth from being an ugly one.

No mouth Can be prosty if the upper teeth Art 50 very prominent that they posh forward the top lip and rest themselves obtrusively on the tower one. This is a state of things which may be prevented, but the prevention is only possible in childhood. Directly it is seen that a child's secand teeth project, or are inclined to project or to overlap one another, that child should be taken to an experienced dentist.

Of course, projecting teeth may be removed in later life and replaced by artificial teeth. wbich do not project over the lip,

but the effect on the appearance

of the mouth will never be the same as if, by the use of a simple contrivance in youth, the projec- tion of the teeth had been entirely prevented. Crowded and over-, lapping teeth always spoil the beauty of the mouth. This often happens when the month and jaws are small and the teeth rather big and there is not room for the latter to grow in an even row. The removal of a couple of teeth, if done early enough, entirely prevents this deformity, which though a small one, is a sizerable bar to the beauty of the mouth.

If the lips are very thick they make the mouth look bigger than it really is. Some lips are natur. ally thicker than others, but many look thicker than they need because they are ill-treated. They are bitten (often to make them red, which it does not do). They are are robbed, puckered, and twisted. Avoid such habits if you would have pretty lips and a simall mouth, and above all keep your eeth clean and white.

THE ENGLISHWOMEN SCORE-.

The Parisienne just can't belp that feeling of superiority to the rest of the world's womenfolk in the matter of dress instinct. There is just one point, however, on which the Englishwoman scores over her, and that is in the question of taste in footgear.
