Matching Teeth.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty that
dentists meet with is the matching oi
false teeth with the natural teeth of theii
customers. The tooth factories supply
dentists with rings upon which are strung
thin short metal bars, each carrying a
tooth at its extremity. There are twen-
ty-five of these sample teeth that run all
the way from nearly white to a shade
that is almost olive. Some one of the
twenty-five usually almost matches the
patient’s natural teeth, and, at any rate,
enables the dentist to match the teeth
by application at the factory.—New York

| I had adjusted my tie, taken up my
hat and was preparing to leave when
the door slowly opened and my mother
came in.
“Going out, are you Tom?” said she.
“Yes.”
“Where—to another party?”
“Yes.”
“That makes three this week, doesn’t
it, Tom?”
I “Yes. We’re hurrying to get through.
Going to take Miss Beaufort tonight,
and then I’m done with the Jolly club’s
parties.
| Mother somehow or other didn’t seem
to think very much of what I said.
i “Tom, I wish you would get married,”
she said, with a troubled face. “I be-
lieve you would stay at home more.”
| “Well, I am awful tired, mother, and
completely worn out.”
I “Then why don’t you quit it?”
I “The best reason in the world, mother.
I am neither engaged nor in love, but
am willing to be both.”
I It was getting late so I started after
this, but the sad look on my mother’s
face set me to thinking. My mother is
the best woman in the world, even if 1
do say it myself, and I felt worried
about her. She was right. I was out
nearly every evening—this evening at a
reception, next time at a ball, then a
theater party and so on.
I Of course I could well afford it, for
my salary as cashier at Hart’s was a lib-
eral one. But I was not saving a penny,
and my home folks never saw me except
at the table. Even poor old patient
mother was complaining.
■ But I was having lots of fun. There
was that Beaufort girl—she was a fine
one. Could dance any dance, talk about
anything and make you have the finest
time in the world.
I Then there was Vene Wright. She
would play a game with a fellow, gc
rowing, skating — anything for fun.
Then, Vene had money; that was an im-
portant item. Why shouldn’t I tackle
Miss Vene on the subject of matrimony;
| “Thomas, old son,” said I to myself,
,“Vene is the one.”
| But Vene somehow or other did not
exactly suit the case, and my mind re-
verted to Miss Beaufort, who was smart,
pretty, stylish and suited better, but 1
knew nothing about her financial stand-
ing. This was an important matter to
me in those days.
| Meanwhile the carriage approached
Miss Beaufort’s. I had never been there
before, and to my surprise found it to
be a very unpretentious house. I con-
fess I was disappointed. I expected to
drive up to an elegant mansion, be ush-
ered into a fine reception room by a
servant in livery and there await the
coming of Miss Beaufort. Then I ex-
pected to make a bold dash for hei- hear!
—propose, and possibly be accepted oi
declined by the time the party was over.
I But not so. A little lady with gray
hair opened the door, and she was intro-
duced to me by Miss Beaufort as “mam-
ma.” Miss Beaufort was ready and
waiting, so we walked out to the car-
riage.
I “Mr. Silver,” said she after we had
seated ourselves, “don’t you think there
is a great amount of snobbery in society
and lots of downright foolishness?”
i “Well, yes,” said I.
I “For instance,” said she, “here is an
elegant carriage that you have brought
for me, and yet the party is not half a
mile away.”
I This certainly was very refreshing. 1
had actually squandered one pound tc
have this carriage for the evening, and
she was not pleased with it. I know
-Vene would have enjoyed a ride in it.
' “Mr. Silver,” she remarked again,
[“this is the last party I am going to this
winter.”
I “Well, why?” said I. “Aren’t you go-
ing to take in the German club ball and
the others?”
[ “No,” said she. “Mamma hasn’t the
money; she can’t afford it. Besides, Mr.
Silver,” she continued, “can you really
afford to spend so much money on so-
ciety?”
I I looked at her. There was honesty
fairly shining out of her pretty black
eyes, even if she wasn’t very polite, so 1
answered her honestly:
I “No, Miss Beaufort, I cannot! 1
haven’t saved a penny this winter, and
I get a big salary too. It seems idiotic.”
| “I have met you so frequently I feel
quite well acquainted with you, though
I expect I have been a little impolite.”
| “No,” said I. “I am glad that you
take that much interest in me.”
| Then we changed the subject. I had
a splendid time at the party and enjoyed
Miss Beaufort’s company very much. 1
found her level headed and bright, if
she was too frank. *
I The next day I told mother about it.
She said she admired Miss Beaufort foi
her common sense, though she had never
seen her. Then she referred again to ] —Pittsburg Dispatch,
my getting married. )
“Suppose,” said she, “that you pretend
for a week or so that you are married
and see how it goes?”
J “An imitation wife,” said I.
I “Why not?” she said. “I will write
the name of a young lady on a card, sea]
jt in an envelope and you can lock it in
your desk. Then let us suppose you are
married to her for say two weeks. Dur-
ing that time I want you act just as if
ithe lady were here in person and your
lawfully wedded wife.”
i “Whose name are you going to write
on the card?” said I.
| “Never mind,” said she. “I will write
my preference and neither of us will
breathe a word about this to a living
soul.”
We agreed on this. Mother wrote
the name on the card and sealed it in
the envelope. 1 knew it was Vene
Wright’s name, so I decided to imagine
that Vene was there in person, and so
we commenced the week.
Monday night came. That was the
night of the German club ball; but I
staid at home and talked to mother.
Then 1 played drafts with her for
awhile, and we managed to have a very
enjoyable evening.
Next morning mother met me at the
table with smiles and about the best
breakfast I had eaten for a long while.
E'niwi t ■■rmmirMMMBi w
“You must imagine that your wife i
saw to this breakfast,” she whispered.
Going to the city this morning who J
should get into the ’bus but Miss Beau- -
fort. I bowed to her gracefully, passed,
her fare to the conductor, and was about
to sit down by her side when I hap-
pened to think of my imitation wife
at home and kept my seat by the door.
“Married men have no business talk-
ing to the young ladies,” said I to my-1
self. j
Miss Beaufort looked at me rather :
queerly, but said nothing, and I thought
the ’bus would never get to the city.
Thursday was the evening I was tc
call on Vene, and I forgot to send her
an excuse. On Friday a note came
from her, which mother took the liberty
of opening, as she thought I would not
care, and she felt like representing my
wife in the desk. It was a tender mis-
sive, and somewhat surprised me when
I saw it. But what could I do? Mar-
ried men have no business getting ten-
der notes from young ladies. Inasmuch
as I had contracted to carry out
mother’s plan for two weeks, I left the
note for mother to answer. She is a
very truthful woman, but in answering
the note she prevaricated.
She said that I was very sick, and as a
natural consequence Vene called that
afternoon to see me, but I was at busi-
ness, and mother had to invent another
story. Then she had to come all the
way to the office so as to keep me from
coming home my usual way for fear
Vene might catch us.
I laughed a good deal at mother, and
Vene did not find us out, but Mrs. Jones
—an awful gossip—met her, and Vene
told her I was sick, and the next day all
my society friends came round, among
them Miss Beaufort.
Mother met her rather coldly, but in-
vited her to stay awhile.
“I suppose Mr. Silver is almost worn
out with so much going out’” said the
young lady.
“He is much better,” said mother,
“but I do not think he will go out for
several weeks. I think that I shall keep
him at home.”
“I am so glad,” said Miss Beaufort;
“not that you are going to keep him at
home, but that he is not going out so
much. I am getting so that I fairly de-
test society. Here was a woman who
had my mother’s views, and they both
thereupon had a confidential talk and
pleased each other mightily.
Then she asked the mater to call on
her mother, which she did.
Meanwhile I was staying at home ev-
ery evening and was getting pretty tired
of it, as the two weeks were drawing to
a close.
“Don’t you think a man ought to take
his wife out once in a while?” said I tc
mother.
“Why not?” said she.
“Then I’ll take her to the theater to-
night.” So I took a couple of reserved
. seats at Drury Lane theater for the fol-
lowing night, and mother, who repre-
sented my wife, went with me.
We had hardly taken our seats before
I noticed that they were adjoining those
of Miss and Mrs. Beaufort.
We went home together that nighi
and laughed and talked a good deal.
I think mother told Mrs. Beaufort
what we had been doing, but I did not
hear it. I know that several days later,
after my two weeks of married life were
over, I went to call on Miss Beaufort.
We had a pleasant time together, and
just as I was about to leave the old lady
came in.
“I forgot to ask you, Mr. Silver, what
you thought of married life,” said she.
Miss Beaufort looked horrified, but
laughed.
“Mother has been telling you, has
she?” said I.
“She has,” said she.
“Well,” said I, “during the two weeks
I was married I read three good books,
gained four pounds in weight, saved
£5 10s., besides paying mother for my
wife's board and the tickets to Drury
Lane.”
“And who were you married to?’
asked Miss Beaufort.
“I forgot to look,” said I. I hurried
home to see who my wife had been. The
envelope was just as I had placed in iu
my desk drawer. I tore it open, and
there was the name of Miss Beaufort.
“Well,” said I, “mother made her an
imitation wife, now I will try to make
her a real one.”
And so I did.—New York Mercury.
