Eaciefr's Sins.

II would be easy TO name women, prom
inent In society by virtue Of their beauty,
talent, moral purity and force OF charac-
ter, who have been powers for good in
their time, incentives TO virtuous and no
ble living, respected by men and accept
able TO God. 1t would be equally easy to
mention others who, Notwithstanding
their gifts, have done more harm than
good. Handsome, rich, brilliant, capable,
generous of heart, but lax in their sense
OF moral obligation, indiscreet I'm conduct,
tolerant of evil, Indifferent TO social scan
dals, they demoralize by their example.
One obvious sign of this decentralization
II afforded by the readiness of the COM
munity 20 overlook the sins of women
whom II admircs. There must be some
thing wrong when we are prompt To for
give In = beautiful and witty woman what
we would not forgive in plain and dull
one. And what is tsue of the leader of So
ciety Is true OF society in general.
The entire community has an interest
in society" and is warranted in looking
TO it for help and good offices. Let $50
ciety" recognize the fact and meet its OBJ
legations. Let those who lead it consider
their responsibility and make IL their aim
60 keep themselves pure, 70 set an example
OF honorable and decent living, and to put
TO good uses the privileges which they en-
toy.-Rev. Morgan Dix.

Housework should be raised from men
ial service TO a domestic art You must
make il profession, where those who en-
ter into It may be carefully trained and
ranked according TO their ability and paid
according TO their proficiency. House
work is a more involved science than 10
was In the old days when the mistress gave
It twice a. much supervision as she does
now. You expect your kousemaid to
know all about the care of silver, of
bronze, of brass, of porcelain, of mahogany,
of glass, of linen, of ivory, of velvet, Of
satin, of brocade. Yes, and in America,
where In many beautiful homes only one
maid is employed, you expect her to know
all about cooking, too, which Is an art in
itself.
You take the recently landed immigrant
girl and expect her to teach your little
babies good manners and to keep them
clean and healthy. You will never solve
the problem Of tbe home in America in any
other way than this Build cottages where
your girls may be taught scientific house
keeping and hygienic cooking, and trained
20 degree Of ntslligence that viii prevent
your maid from soouring your brass with
a hearth brush, or serving at the same
dinner raw tomatoes, celery and grapes
on hygienic principles.
Then you must cease TO have different
standard of treatment for maids outside
your household and maids who work in
the house. II a preference of respect is
shown to either, you should show it to
the girl or woman 10 whom is intrSsted
the health and comfort OF your family.
In no other country is domestic art so easy.
You have so many labor saving inventions,
80 mary delightful arrangements for SIM
plifying the detail and routine, such easy
methods Of keeping the kitchen clean.
You expect more Of your maids than we
do in msny ways. In tho first place, we
don't expect in middle class families to
have the breakfast table waited upon at
all. The table is laid ready, and we have
quite as much served and are moro boun-
tiful in the matter of knives and forks and
plates, but we serve the meal ourselves.
Just think what difference that makes
in the mornings work.-Mrs. Ormison

Word About Knitting.

Knitting threatens to become q lost
Art. More is tho pity, since there Is a
Steady demand in the household for knit
ted articles that are readily made with
the needles. Dishcloths and washcloths
Of lamp wick, for instance, are always
acceptable If loosely knitted. Santa
Claus, too, must have supply OF horse
reins, and the brighter in hue the worst
ed is in which these are knitted the bet
Ter pleased will be tho youthful drivers.
The old fashioned '-nubia," or cloud
has long since gone out, but the same
glitch and material-split zephyr-may
be used in making a slumber robe as
dainty as a down coverlet. Choose long
needles, preferably OF wood and not too
thich. Cast as many stitches as can be
worked conveniently and Knit strip
two yards in length. Two Of these will
be sufficient for the quilt, the body Of
which is made by tack!ng a thin layer
OF cotton batting on lining of cotton
muslin or slllyoisne. Tho worstcd strips

A Dado of Iinoleun1.

linoleum to be used rs a dado for the
walls in n kitchen. II should be glued

serge comes in neutral tints, chiefly pea
cock blue and soft green shades. These
serges are designed for window curtains.
They are double width. very durable,
and are to be lined with satin to match,
supplemented with ball fringe. The
combination produces avery harmonious
result, and if the curtain is looped up to
the overhead valance and left to hang in
graceful folds the effect is very elegant.

RULES FOR SINGERS.
How and When tn Practice - Avoid tho
Tremolo--Pronounce Distinctly.

How and When tn Practice - Avoid tho
Tremolo--Pronounce Distinctly.
The following rules for singers laid
down in The Etude are worthy Of the at
tention of amateurs:
Be perfectly natural. Sing as you
talk and read. All practice should be
done with medium power Of voice, with
out forcing. Forcing a voice means
running it forever. Practice must be
regular, thoughtful and systematic, ex-
cept in cases of sickness. Only miss
practice when dinner is missed. Under
ordinary circumstances there should not
be less than an hour daily devoted to
voice exercises. This should be divided
into three twenties or two thirties. For
these voice exercises, each and every
vowel sound should be taken in turn.
Half All hour daily devoted to deolain-
atory reading aloud ard reciting, cspe-
cially of the text Of songs, etc., TO be
sung, will be very we'll spent time. Prac-
tice standing erect before mirror, and
without any accompaniment. BY this
means many facial contortions and man
nerisms will be obviated. Acquire ease,
self control, grace of manner and poetry
of motion. An audience is often capti-
waited as much by the bearing and man
ner of vocalist as by the singing. Be
unremitting in the effort to enlarge, ex-
tend and enrich the voice. The muscles
controlling tho voice will surely yield to
treatment, just as any other Of the bod
lily muscles. All that is wanted for in
suring fiexibility is the aforesaid regu-
lar, thoughtful, systematic practice. AL
ways dwell well on the vowel sounds
and round off the consonants clearly and
distinctly at the end and otherwise.
BE very careful where, when and how
breath is taken. Never IN the middle of
O word, never in the middle Of SEN
tence if il can be avoided, but always
where it least disturbs the sense of the
words. Sense first, sound second. Al
ways, where practicable, breathe through
the nostrils and "from the hips" BY no
other method than deep diaphragmatic
breathing can the lungs be thoroughly
utilized, especially in singing. and re-
main sound, healthy and vigorous.
Breathing is so vitality important TO good
tone prOductlOn tnaI tnere bnOulu Do
daily practice in special breathing exer-
cises, and in whistling if possible, in the
open, fresh air. 1t is, moreover, abso-
lutely necessary for good. easy breath
ing that the clothing round the chest
and throat be loose.
Avoid all gliding, sliding, scraping
and 'tobogganing" in producing tone.
Avoid the tremolo as you would leper.
Let your motto always be, absolutely
pure tone or none. Study the words to
be sung through and through and sing
them as though you felt them. Try to
let them come from the heart as well as
the throat, as this is the only way to
reach the hearts Of others. Be very
careful to pronounce each word correct
ly and TO articulste every syllable, every
letter, as clearly as it is possible. One
singer who can be easily UNDERSTOOD
no matter what the language sung-is
worth so whose words are mouthed,
mumbled and lost to the audience.

DRESSING THE HAIR.

Bangs a Thing OF the Past--soft Waved
Bsndesux and Close Fripges Arc Pop
uiar-The Empire styie-wide Latitude
For Selection.
Numbered with noticeable changes in
fashion is that which affects the dress
ing of the hair. The bang that has out
lived so many seasons Is at length a
thirg of the past. The fashion of wear
ing tho hair falling over the forehead
has now been in existence for nearly &c
years, and during that period great
changes in the appearance of the fringe
have taken place, so much 30 that the
original idea of simply placing few
soft hairs carelessly over the forehead in
order TO give greater softness to the face
has been disregarded altogether.
The fringe has been gradually giving
place to softly waved bandeaux, and the
bandeaux are creeping gradually lower
down, until the return seems imminent
to the puffed and waved bandeaux of forty
odd years ago. To young and delicate
faces tho style has an agreeable piquancy
end quaintness, but to women past their
FIRST youth or with strong, coarse fea-
lures the bang has a softening effect
much to be desired.
Another style now gaining favor, and
one becoming to round faces with low
foreheads, is that of turning tho haie
back from tho forehead loosely in a
twist that is lost in the light coils and
