Shades in False Teeth.

It is a fact that is not generally known that falso teeth have to be tnado to suit the complexion if satisfactory results are desired. A dentist walking on Chestnut street called attention to this fact as he passed a lady who in smiling showed a beautiful sot of the whitest of teeth. “Those teeth are too white, ” ho said. “She is a blonde and ought to have bluish whito teeth. A brunette can wear clear whito teeth, but blondes should have bluish or croam-tlntod. ” Then lie mentioned that a friend of Ws had put in a set of perfectly white teeth for a lady who is fair. Ho did it against his own judgment and only aftor tho lady insisted strongly on it Sho wore the set a few days "and went back, saying tho teeth were too conspicuous. She took a dark set tho second time, and they can not be told from natural ones. In all, dentists have as many as thirty different shades in falso teeth and have to exercise much caro in the selection.— Philadelphia Inquirer.
