32 Chew Life ENTYNE ..and smile/ friends the world over.Teeth play a big part. They should be snowy white when red lips part in a smile.wDentyne is a delicious gum that is more than a confection. It keeps breath sweet, teeth clean and white as pearls. PS THE T HITE She Had Her Good Points Tue clinging vine of the late Nineties had her little drawbacks, but at least she didn't go in for winter sports. Judg- ing from prints of the period, she would consent to be pushed over the ice in a kind of perambulator on runners by a man in a floating wool tippet and burn- sides; but she never disturbed the peace by wanting to catapult down Old Bald- ‘¢ on skis. She might have gone sleighing with a hot brick at her feet and her hands in a sealskin muff, but she didn’t suggest sneaking the children’s sleds off the back porch and going out on the hill right after a perfectly sane and orderly din- ner party. The Victorian lady was supposed not to understand men. That must give many men of to-day a big laugh, Any- body who understood men sufficiently to let them alone and to refrain from making them go skating was not exactly ignorant of the sex. Victorian houses may not have been as comfortable as those of to-day, but the men had a fair chance of sta them. —MeCready Huston, in Ladies’ Home Journal. The Great Steps Faoxt Cannes comes a story about a Russian Grand Duke. An American ger to be friendly with the Rus- sian noble, showed him a long chain of malachite beads, which she had bought in the town. “Wunnerful, don't you think, Grand ” she said, running the green beads through her fingers. “Yes,” replied the Grand Duke casu- ally. “My mother had a staircase made of it."—London Daily Chronicle.

A Musical Drum ("Customs Guard Finds Four B. Whisky in Bass Drum Ashore by Med! ber of Ship's Orchestra, item.) There’s charm in the violin, ‘There's lure in the light guitar, The tender toot of the neighborly flute Is justly popular; But a musical treat that has them beat, I'll cautiously confide, Is the rumty-tum of the big bass drum With the stick, as it were, inside, The bugle has its friends, The bagpipes rouse the soul, The clarinet and the flageolet Are praised from pole to pole; The slide trombone and the saxophone Are generally admired, And still they leave, I now perceive, Something to be desired, They all are—what shall we say? Their tones are dry, I fear. No liquid notes from their dull throats Gladden the human ear. But sweet in pitch and mellow and rich In sounds that never shock Is the rumty-tum of the seagoing drum As it marches down the dock. —L. H. R., in New York Times. Social Barriers Mns.
