APPRECIATION.
Life’s a bully good game with its kicks
and cuffs—
Some smile, some laugh, some bluff;
Some carry a load too heavy to bear,
‘While some push on ‘with never a care,
But the load will seldom heavy be
When I appreciate you and you appreci-
ate me.
“Its the greatest thought in heaven or
earth—
It helps us know our fellow’'s worth;
There'd be no wars or bitterness,
No fear, no hate, no grasping; yes
It makes work play, and the careworn
free
When I appreciate you and you appreci-
ate me.
—William Judson Kibby.
“OH! MISS DENTIST!”
Mr. ‘Oliver Whidden, a handsome
young bachelor dessicating ina city
called Crestview, while partaking of
a chilled concotion in a pharmaceu-
tical emporium with a friend named
. Harry Hector, eloquently orated on
a favorite subject entitled “The
Tragic Decadence of Modern Fem-
ininity.”
“Woman's place,” proclaimed
young Mr. Whidden in tones as final
and definite as yesterday's sunset,
“is the home. Nowadays altogeth-
er too many of them are using
powder puffs in business offices and
diabolically seeking to take the reins
of commercial supremacy from the
male.
“It used to be,” he earnestly
vocalized, “that a girl's sole am-
bition in life was to catch a good
husband, have a nice home and raise
a fine family. What is a girl’s sole
ambition today? Why, it is to learn
a trade or profession, become inde-
pendent, and forget time-honored
conventions and her biological mis.
sion in life. What man wants to
ask a girl who is making as much
money as he is to be his wife? What
man wants to ask a girl who knows
nothing of “domesticity to be his
wife? What man”—
“What girl,” interrupted Harry
Hector, “is that sitting over there?”
His friend glanced in mild toned
pique where the other optically
pointed. The young lady at a
neighboring table was an attractive
brunet, with ponderousity idea, con-
tours intriguing and facial features
adorable. Shz2 wore a pink hat, a
dress with ruffles and a very cap-
able expression.
“She looks like $1.79 more than
the cost of a modern battleship,”
enthused Mr, Hector. “I wouldn't
mind meeting her.”
“She is probably,” bitterized the
bachelor, “just another one of the
feminine gender who has rashly
and irrevocably deserted tatting for
typing or cooking for clerking. Say,
Harry, I've an awful toothache—
it's been bothering me for hours.
It worried the life out of me while
I was trying to sell Jacob Blatzer-
man some insurance this morning—
gee, I'd like to land that commis-
sion! Well, I can't stand this tor-
ture; I think I'll go to see a dentist
right away.”
Harry sympathetically remarked
his pal’'s jaw was indeed somewhat
swollen, and Mr. Whidden arose
from his chair, told Harry he would
see him later, and started from the
room. He was surprised, as he
came opposite the strange young
lady’s table, to have his hurried pro-
gress intercepted by the s. y. 1. her-
self.
“I beg your pardon,” requested
the aforesaid herself in tones dulcet
and polite, “but I cannot fail to note
the look of anguish in your eyes and
the slight inflation of the jaw. Are
you afflicted with peridontoclosia ?”
“No,” responded Mr. Whidden
numbly, “just a toothache.”
“That's the same thing,” assured
the beautiful being. “I'm a dentist,
and I ought to know. There is
nothing in the world more aggravat-
ing than 4a teoth aching unless it
Is two teeth aching, sq kindly ac-
Coripany me and — I'l put yeu eut
of your misery, Here's my profes-
sional card.”
The card sala “Georgiana Smith,
D. D. 8.” and Mr. Oliver Whidden
said nothing at all, for there seem.
ed to be no evading the direct in-
vitation—albeit inward rebellion im-
mediately arose against the ignominy
of being the patient of a female
dental doctor. They went, silently,
into a large building and then into
a reception room of one of the
well-known painless establishments.
Miss Georgiana Smith, pink hat,
ruffles and all, disappeared through
an inner doorway, and when she
reappeared she was attired in
starchy, immaculate white.
“Come in,” she briskly ordered,
‘and take the chair.” The patient
hesitated, still feeling like a traitor
to his virile sex, and then, as the
trip-hammer in ‘his jaw, began to
trip, he went timidly in, took
the chair, and she took a ridiculous
linen bib and tied it around his
tanned neck.
“Open, Please,” she said.
Whidden, terribly embarrassed, op-
ened his mouth. It just didn't seem
right, somehow, to open his mouth
like that before a lady—even if she
was one of those modern creatures
with an obsession for sordid money
instead of a nice home and a good
husband.
The gentleman, on request, told
the lady what tooth ached, and she
energetically laid out a large num-
ber of evil-looking instruments. “A
dentist can never tell,” she com-
mented sociably while he gazed,
alarmed, ‘when he will need his
chisels and curets, or hoes and files.
Too, it is advisable at ail times to
have his restectors, fulcrums and
spoons at hand, and also I had bet-
ter get out my excavators, pluggers
and cones for any sudden emer-
gency. Kindly open again” Mr.
Mr.
Oliver Whidden opened again.
“Wider, please,” sweetly com.
‘manded Miss Georgiana @mith,
whereupon Mr. Oliver Whidden sour-
ly obeyed. His oral orifice taut with
elastic, Mr. Whidden was inno posi-
tion to utter any syllables, mono of
poly.
As the female practitioner began
efficiently to drill, blithely oblivious
to certain writhings, she mono-
logued companionably of some of this
a little of that and a few of the
other.
“A great many folks in my home
town evidenced surprise when I took
up dentistry,” she said, “but it was
absolutely necessary that I go to
work or marry, and
lesser of the two evils, particularly
as no one asked me to marry, My
father was a poor southern planter
—a Miami undertaker — for in
Florida, according to the chamber
of commerce, no one ever dies; so,
to help out, I took a course in den-
tistry, my departure for Crestview,
cognizance of the pull a dentist
could exert here, and now I am
taking all I can get. Open wider,
please.
“It would amaze the layman,” she
declared, changing a coarse drill for
a fine, “to know the many troubles
that teeth repair can eliminate. If
your mother-in-law is coming for a
visit, have her bicuspids overhauled,
and it will cost so much she can’t
afford to come. If you have rheum-
atism, you have rheumatism, and
that is probably all there is to it,
but
the extraction of one tooth may
cure your rheumatism, and that’s no
after dinner speech—I haven't had
dinner yet. Wider, please.”
“I believe,” she rambled on Ila-
boring industriously the while, “that
you are an insurance salesman. You
have the appearance, bearing and
poise of the successful insurance
salesman; and, besides, that card
peeping out of your vest pocket
says you are an insurance salesman.
I hope you don't decry the entrance
of my sex into your field of noble
endeavor; girls have to live, and if
their father is retired, one brother
too tired and the other too lazy,
it’s up to them to goout and earn
the dough to bring home the bread.
Open wider, please.”
When Mr. Oliver Whidden finally
got out of the chair he felt physi-
cally mangled and mentally outrag-
ed. The little wretch had taken
unfair advantage o° him, because he
couldn’t talk and show her where
she was 101 per cent wrong.
“How much,” he inquired tersely
and icily, manfully withholding his
surging temper, “do I owe you?”
“Oh,” explained Miss Georgiana
Smith naively, “that is only a tem-
porary filling. I won't know the
fee until I finish. This is the first
of a series of visits to your favorite
dentist. Mr. Whidden, I should in-
form you that removing foreign
deposits, smoothing and polishing of
denuded and infected cementum, ex-
cavation of necrotic tissues at base
of crevice, subgingival curettage
operations, and elimination of epi-
thelium from the peridontal walls
requires considerable Ingersoll, so
don’t be an impatient patient. Come
again Tuesday at 10 a. m. Good-
day, Mr. Whidden.”
It was not a good ‘day to Mr.
Whidden, he told his chum, Harry
Hector, a few hours later. “Of all
the talkative, frivolous, inefficient,
shallow-minded working girls,” he
asseverateu scornfully, “she is Mrs.
About Ben Adhem, Naturally she
aspires to financial independenec in
her occupation, but is plainly doom-
ed to failure. She should have
taken a course in husband hunting
instead of tooth pulling, I wouldn't
go back there again unless I had to.
Darn this tooth, anyway!”
“Sez he!” grinned Mr. Hector.
“Say, how are you coming on with
your big chance, Mr. Blatzerman?”
“I'm going backwards,” admitted
the salesman gloomily. “He won't
listen to reason at all—he's curt
and cross all the time. Honestly, I
believe there’s something radically
wrong with that man. I wish I
could persuade him to take out that
blanket fire and storm insurance
policy on his factory buildings and
blanket sickness -accident.gnd-death
policy on all his employees. A sale
I like that would bring enough to pay,”
he flushed, “for a honeymoon, for
instance.
Tuesday at 10 a. m., Mr. Oliver
Whidden was no sooner in the chair
than the dentistress synchronously
began dental and verbal operations.
“Al person of your age,’ she stated,
deftly digging out the temporary
filling “should be cognizant of the
important fact his teeth should be car- |
ed for regularly and systematically,
thus assuring adequate pulverization
as well as sufficient disintegration.
A dentist in time saves $9, and of-
ten a tooth. What you need is a
wife to remind you of such mone-
tary and health precautions. Keep
your mouth open, please.”
“By the way,” she detoured, “1
know several young ladies in the in-
surance business, and their list of
whys and wherefores contains more
than the well-known 14 points. A
girl these times,” she continued with
candid serenity, ‘“has to get out in-
to the world to meet a fellow of
her own age. In olden days the men
were gallant ana considerate enough
to go to the girl’s home to get ac-
quainted; but now they look them
up in stores and offices. I claim
that marriages may be made in
heaven, but the engagements are
fixed back of counters and desks.
“Still, tragedy persists; many a
girl has an unhappy wedlock be-
cause she listened to Lohengrin be-
fore she was fully able to support a
husband. It used to be that when
a girl planned to marry she quit her
job-—now she asks for a raise. And
to what is this grievous thing due?
It is due to the tragic decadence
of modern masculinity. Wider,
please.”
The lovely female dental doctor
switched off the electric drill, glanc.
ed at one of the decadent members
of modern masculinity and asked,
“Don’t you think I. am right?”
“Glub-glub,- emitted: the patient,
undergoing a mental convulsion.

That was all he could articulate. |
“Thanks,” said Miss Georgiana
Smith. “I knew you would agree.”
And at that Mr. Oliver Whidden
emitted two glub-glubs. Damn it
all, anyway!
The day of his last scheduled visit
— the sixth—to his favorite dentist,
Mr. Whidden chanced to meet his
friend, Harry Hector; and Harry.
glimpsing an aura of prosperity
about the other, remarked that the
insurance millenium USL have
come.
“It has!” jubilated the salesman.
I just sold two big blanket policies
to Jacob Blatzerman. I can’t un-
derstand what made him relent so
suddenly, but he telephoned me to
come around to his office and there
was a check waiting for me. Well,
I've got to be going.”
Mr. Hector desired to know where,
and Mr. Whidden said to his den-
tist. .
“As usual,” added, Mr. Hector.
“You must be gifted with an ab-
‘a cradle or a stove
“No,” seriously rejoined the old
scout. “It’s not the teeth—it's the
dentist. She is just an inferior
practitioner, taking a real man’s
job, and all ‘this time has been treat-
ing only ome tooth.”.
Miss Georgiana Smith, ithe female
dentist, did not seem to be in a
very cheerful mood when her hand-
some young masculine patient, feel-
ing very generous and broad-minded,
due to his recent success, debonnair-
ly strolled into the sacred precincts of
amalgam, novocaine and tweezers,
She had little to offer except a
blank smile and the chair, and Mr.
Whidden sank into the latter and
reciprocated the former.
For the . first time he noted, as
she deftly dug a sixth temporary
filling from a clean cavity, that
there was a very charming and cute
little dimple in her right cheek. He
thought, vagrantly, a dimple like
that really should be bending over
instead of a
dentist’s : chair; and, fascinated, he
normal large number of infected
grinders, old scout.” '
gazed more attentively.
“What are you looking at?” ab-
ruptly asked Miss Smith, straight.
ening up.
“Your pretty dimple,” said Mr.
Whidden before he realized what he
was saying.
“I got that dimple from sleeping
with my face on a collar button,”
coldly explained the dentistress, It
was my brother’s collar button. Open
‘wide, please.”
As he left the office some time
later, very much puzzled as to Miss
Georgiana Smith's queer reticence,
he espied Jacob Blatzerman in the
reception room perusing a 1908
magazine. Mr. Blatzerman was in
a very convivial mood, probably due
to the quaint magazine,
He grasped the salesman’s hand
in greeting. “This reminds me,”
he declared, “that I should explain
my recent sudden . change of mind
about the insuramce policies you of-
fered me, Mr. Whidden. My for-
mer refusals were due to my teeth.”
“Your teeth!” exclaimed Mr. Whid-
den. “Your teeth?”
“Yes, indeed,” smiled Mr. Blatzer-
man. “For a long time, unknown
to myself, Thad several severely in-
fected molars, the poisons from
which gradually spread down into
the body, affecting my physical
health as well as my disposition,
and making me extremely cross and
unreasonable. I was tardily made
aware of this by a young lady, the
dentist in there, whom I happened
to meet and who persuaded me to
have an X-ray, and in time for-
tunately cured me of the aggravat-
ing trouble. Once in normal con-
dition, I realized I should take ad-
vantage of ithe policies you offered
and therefore gladly signed up for
them.”
“Mr. Blatzerman,” said the sales.
man, “do you mind telling me when
it was you first met Miss Smith?”
Mr, Blatzerman did not mind, and
said, after some thought, it was
four weeks ago last Thursday. and
then "the inner door opened and the
‘ painless expert called, ‘You may
i come in now, Mr. Blatzerman.”
When the elderly patient emerged
! about an hour later he yas surprised
