The Voices Of American Women.

REV EDWARD EVERETT HALE DESCRIBES THEM
As ''wAB-cRY" AND SAYS THEY ARE MADE
so BY THE PRACTICE OF READING ALOUD IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
from the Boston Post, Apr5l
At the meeting of the Ladies' Physiological
Institute yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Annie ID.
c. Hardy read letter from Rev L. +. Hale
on the subject Of the voice of American wom-
en-, which has a peculiar interest on account
of its subject, its entertaining manner, and its
authorship. The letter is as follows
DEAR Mrs. HARDY What / said to the Ia
dies in church after your reading was, in sub
stance this / value such instructions as
Mrs. Hardy's and those of the school Of teach
ers which she represents, because hope they
may improve in the course of time the bad
voices to which my cOuntrywomen arc now
trained. | ascribe 1t mostly to the habits Of
our large schools some people ascribe 1t to
the drynuss of our climate whatever be the
reason, the fact is that most of the American
women talk with shrill voice. and if they
wish to gain power, they seek it by sharpening
the note or screaming, rather than by giving
more volume.
remember at the great dining saloon of
the Bauer au Lac Hotel in ZuEiSh, both the
largest and finest dining hall l ever saw, when
800 people were dining at once at their differ
ent tables, / could single out my own country
women in all parts of the hall, no matter what
their distance, by the shrill yell, more or less
nasal, with which they summoned the wal
tiers, ordered soup, asked for napkin, or
passed from pastry to ice-cream. Above the
general roar of the buzZ-buZZ-buZZ of 800
voices in conversation, you could distinguish
the war-cry of these eight or ten American
women, as you distinguish signal rockets at
night above a long and dark line of intrench-
ments. casual observer would have no diff
fculty in telling at the end of the day how
much pastry these women ate, or how often
| their plates were changed. We are SO used
| to it in a Sound steamer here, or other hall
where women are together, that we do not
| notice it here. You need to be in another
land to know what it is.
Some people, as / say, ascribe this to eli

The WIDOW OF President TYLER A para
graph which has been in general circulation
recently, mentioning tile fact that ex-presi-
dent Tylcr's widow was confirmed in the Ro-
man Catholic Church by Archbishop Gibbons
last week, has given to many the impress
sion that she has atcly been converted to
that faith. On the contrary she was bap-
tized in the chapel Of the Georgetown %. c.
Convent six years ago, and would have been
confirmed long since had not sudden illness
prevented every time day was appointed for
the ceremony. She is still handsome wo-
man, with complexion almost as blooming
as when she became the bride of President
Her teeth are very white and regular, adding
much to the charm of her smiling face, and
she does not seem TO have lost one or to have
single streak Of gray in her black hair,
which she, like Mrs. Hayes, wears combed
smoothly over her ears in the fashion they
adopted in their youth She likes nothing
better than to talk over the past. the romance
of her courtship and marriage, and her brief
but eyentful life in the White House. whose
mistress she was from June 1874, to March
1915. She is the only woman who ever mar
ried president of the United States while in
Office, and consequently the only one who
ever held wedding reception in the White
House as a Presidents bride. Cor. B0stoH
