Show The Wiles of the Widow. The lady whose teeth dropped into her plate while she was dining at the Criterion restaurant, in ' London, brought suit against her dentist. It was, however, stated in evidence that she had, at a' time when the teeth were in the earliest bloom of their youth, written the following warm testimonial to her dentist: "You have altered my appearance. I look quite a different woman, and 1 shall be able to get another husband. My daughters will not be able to have it all their own way now." The London News remarks re-marks that the warning of the elder Weller against widows receives some support from the remarkable document just quoted. The same philosopher's contention that one who understood horses understood humanity receives, at the same time, a limitation. Any attempt to guess the age of a person . from the appearance of the teeth, as is done with horses, would only lead to an error in such a case as this. |
