The Evolution of the Toothbrush.
NOT many years ago a toothbrush
was just a toothbrush, with a
white bone handle Into which were
set four or five rows of white bristles.
It was used once a day then placed
in a glass of water until used again.
In fact the toothbrushes of the entire
family .were often placed in the same
glass of water. Makes you smile now,
doesn't It? But in years gone by It
made a great many cry with tooth
ache. By means of the sociable,
though unsanitary family toothbrush-
holder tooth ailments were transferred
from one member of a family to all
the rest.
People then used to brush across
the front teeth to keep them white.
Never mind the back teeth, they didn't
count. But in time they learned that
back teeth did count, that brushing
across the teeth wasn't the best way,
that a toothbrush was about the most
personal of one's belongings and
should not be let stray, to come back
with all the tooth ills of the family
secreted among its bristles.
The manufacturers of brushes be
gan then to experiment. The brush
was invented with a handle curved
most comfortably for use on the back
teeth. Next came the one that didn't
shed bristles, then sizes were graded
from the brush for baby to grandpa,
who today often has sound and
healthy teeth. . .
Now comes what we have needed
but didn't realize the need of it. It Is
a toothbrush cleaner. . These can be
bought at the drug store at prices
from a couple of cents up. They clean
the brush after use. and thus leave
it free from particles of food that
might possibly be brushed back into
the teeth again.
If you cannot obtain this brush,
there Is a substitute, though probably
not so good. Buy the chenille cov
ered wire sold at tobacco stores for
pipe cleaners, and clean your tooth
brush with it. But dally clean your
toothbrush you must, if would keep
step with fashions in hygiene

Rceardlns the Barrier of Sex.
ri SECOND time, Marian encoun
t tered. Meadows, the rich young
man, by accident on one of her morn
ing strolls on Riverside Drive. On the
third morning, she met him at their
favorite bench by appointment.
"Let's take a ride on a motor bus,"
he proposed on the latter morning, and
together they hailed and clamored to
the top deck on one of the passing
vehicles. The noon-day sun flashed
and shimmered on the surface of the
Hudson. Marian's companion talked of
the Riviera, of interesting adventures
in odd Italian nooks, of a journey
through Provence. As the bus ap
proached a certain famous and ex
clusive inn on upper Riverside, Mead
ows proposed luncheon. Like a girl in
a pleasant dream, Marian did as she
was bidden, and presently they were
seated at an open window at a quaint
little table, amid superb surroundings.
The host ordered a wine so light and
exquisite that it passed Marian's lipu
without protest.
"How do you like it?" demanded
Meadows, sweeping the place with hi
eyes.
"It's the most beautiful eating plact
Fve ever been In," admitted Marian
"But you shouldn't have done this," she
added hesitantly. "You shouldn't have
gone to all this trouble."
"I was hoping you wouldn't say that,"
was the grave reply. "I understand, of
course, that no woman ever trusts a
man. From unpleasant experiences she
knows better. Yet, there are exception
to the general rule that the barrier ol
sex doesn't jibe with trusting or being
trusted."
"I didn't mean that exactly," put
in Marian.
"But it applies almost universally,"
added Meadows. "Every woman fee.U
a subconscious. Instinctive distrust of
every man particularly every strangei.
1 don t say tnat men naven t earnea ine
distrust. They have exploited and taken
advantage of women for a good manv
hundreds of years. It s too bad. But
it's a fact, and will probably continun
to be a fact until women throw off thn
yoke of allowing themselves to bu
patronized by men, which amounts to
nothing else man pnnaninropic
tyranny.""
Marian pricked up her ears. She had
never beard a man talk like this be
fore. She had not given the blase
young fellow credit for such a philo
sophical outlook upon life as this. It
was another facet of his interesting
character. She liked and respected him
for what he had said.
"EnouEh." he laughed. "Ill be
getting in over my depth if I'm not
careful. As I was saying." he con
tinued lightly, and sped merrily Into
a blithe narration of a European ad
venture he had left unfinished on the
bus.
Later, with abruptness which was
characteristic of his changing moods,
he said: "I'm going to ask you a
question which I hope you won't con
sider impertinent, I want a frank
answer. How about it?"
Marian gazed into the other s eyes
and found them kind and grave. But
she shrank from his words. What was
coming? Instinctively she sprang to
the defensive.
"What is it?" she demanded in tones
of challenge, ill-concealed.
"Don't be so tragic," he smiled. "I
want to Inquire about ytur finances. I
don't want to borrow, I want to lend.
If you're at all in need of funds, I want
you to let me make you a little loan.
It's a sordid subject. I know, and I
hate to mention it. You're not angry?"
"No, but you mustn't propose any
thing like that. I couldn't let you, no
matter how much I were in need of
money," Marian made haste to reply.
"Why not? I've got It to spare, and
I didn't earn it either. The fact that
mere chance puts money Into my pocket
is no reason why It should stay there,
You're quite as much entitled to it as
I am. And I'd appreciate it mightily If
you'd let me lend you some in the
event you ever need it. It's a pure
business transaction, and when your
ship comes in, you may repay it."

( SEE," said the Statistical Lady.
I "that the husband of a noted
English woman has obtained a divorce
and married another woman."
"That's not startling," sniffed the
Old Maid. "It would have been more
worth a headline if they had not got
divorced."
"But the first marriage was rather
unusual," explained the Statistical
Lady, "and I have been watching to
see how It would turn out."
"I suppose they were more than
usually sure that they had the only
real thing in the way of love," scoffed
the Old Maid.
"I wasn't so much interested In the
love side of the marriage as in the
age feature of It," further explained
the Statistical Lady. "The wife was
double the age of. the husband. In
fact, she had a son older than the man
she was marrying.
"She might have known she was
beaded for the divorce court," tartly
observed the Old Maid,
"She wasn't just the ordinary woman.
She was very beautiful, very clever, a
woman of distinguished social position.
She was not old, no matter what the
years of her age might be. I know of
several other cases, one almost iden
tical. This husband Is still madly in
love with his wife."
"Wait," cynically advised the Old
Maid.
"But I am not just sure it shouldn't
work out all right," reflected the Sta
tistical Lady. "Happiness in marriage
isn't a matter of years, but of congen
