The Changing of the Voice.

The peculiar physiological causes of
what Is called the breaking of the
voice are not quite understood, but it
Is known to depend Immediately upon
an organic change in the larynx, the
organ Of the voice, which occurs in
the male sex between the ages of IA
aud Is. Before that the larynx of
boys resembles that of girls; but when
the voice begins to break the vocal
chords become heightened at least
one-third, the angles of the thyroid
cartilage becomes enlarged, and the
muscles which connect the organs of
the voice with the hypoid bone and
base OF the tongue become elongated.
While the change of form is taking
place the voice is untitled for sing
ing. and should be used only with
great care. In other words. the
breaking OF the voice is due to the
rapid development of the larynx,
which takes place at certain ages,
and which leads to change in the
range OF the voice. The peculiar
harshness of the voice when it is thus
breaking seems to Re due to a tenn
porary congestion and swollen condi-
ton Of the mucous membrane of the
vocal chords accompanying the active
growth OF the whole larynx

Why IL It?


"A firm Of lawyers in one of the
large cities advertised not long since
for a girl to assist in their Office.
The work required was unusually
severe and tiresome especially for a
woman. 1t required standing ten
hours day on u step ladder and sort
Ing papers in pigeon holes as high as
could he reached. The pay offered
was only % week. And yet there
were more than hundred applicants
for the place! Knowing as they did
that the wages would not pay for de-
cent board and clothes yet more than
hundred girls were eager for the
position. At the same time it is one
OF the most difficult matters to secure
female domestic help at wages that
range from $3.50 to 81 week with
board and all the convenicnces of a
home furnis he'd. There is an I'M
reasonable prejudice among the girls
who are compelled TO work for liv-
Ing against domestic service. Why
this Is so is something the ordinary
man cannot understand. A girl will
work in a factory, or an Office. or at
a tvpe-writing machine, or stand at
a counter at starvation wages, but
when asked to go into the kitchen
she turns up her nose. Why is it?

Is only one trouble with these fair

is that they will marry. But that is
quite as much mans fault as woman's,
and therefore they are not wholly to
blame for it, The magnificent new
Holland Hotel on Fifth avenue, New
York City, is another house in which
young woman cashiers have lately
been introduced. The Holland liked
the first one SO we'll that it secured
another. The young ladies require
seven different books for taking all
their orders, and they must keep
track OF these and not get tangled
up. They also have occasion to cash
large checks at times and must know
when these are genuine and when
bogus There is much responsibility
attached to the place. and it is a
credit to gril's brain that she can
carry the load so lightly. The West

1t is y fact not so we'll known but
that it may be said to be curious that
the letters ana " are modern add
tions to our alphabet says the St
Louis Republic. The use of the
may be said to have become general
during the time of the common
wealth, say between 1649 and 1858.
From 1880 to 1916 its use is exceed
ingly rare, and I have never as yet
seen a book printed prior to 1922 in
which it appeared. In the century
Immediately preceding the seven

This fashion still fingers, but only in
physicians prescriptions, believe.
Where the French use it has the
power of s, as we use it in the word
''vision." What nation was the first
to use it as a new letter is an inter-
esting but, perhaps, unanswerable
query.
In like manner the printers
and language-makers of the latter
part of the sixteenth century began
to recognize the fact that there was
a sound in spoken English which was
without representative in the
shape of an alphabetical sign. or
character, as the first sound Of the
work 'wet." Prior to that time it
had always been spelled as 'vet," the

two us together. In order to convey
an idea of the new sound they began
to spell such words las ''wet"
weather." web" etc, with two
us, and as the u of that date was a
typical We, the three words in quota
tions above looked like this: "Vvet,"
weather" ''vveb" After awhile
the type founders recognized the fact
that the double had come to stay.
SO they joined the two VS. together,
and made the character now so we'll
known as the W. have one book in
which three forms o. the W are given.
The first is the old double WV, the
next is one in which the last stroke
OF the first crosses the first stroke
Of the second, and the third is the
common W as used to-day.

many occasions tho hat is all that
really shows OF the get-up. At tho
theater, for instance, and on any of the
many sitting-down affairs a woman goes
in for, 1t IL better to have one gown
and three hats than the reverse. You
are probably making up your mind
that hats cost 30 much that three hats
to one gown is not going to be within
any ordinary pocket-book's reach.
Surely not If you get your hats made,
but you mustn't. You must make them
yourself, and here are some rules to
help you.
The amateurs hat IL seldom large
enough in the crown, 1t seldom fits we'll,
and 1t always has too much on it. Avoid
these faults and this one more: The
amateurs hat is insecurity trimmed;
I mean the bows wobble, the feathers
don't seem to know their own minds,
and the flowers are loose in the wrong
place.
Now, having been told what not to
do, attend to the things you must do.
First, to trim q big hat, get it big
enough in the crown. Make sure which
Is the front and which the back, and
put mark to designate the exact front
and the exact back. For your first at

engagements.

1t is the mans business to an
nounce his engagement to his family
and near friends by writing some
notes or by word of mouth. He
should ask his friends to call on the
young lady; but people who know
social forms do not wait to he asked.
If they appreciate the man they
hasten to show the compliment by
calling at once upon the young lady,
introducing themselves to her with
out any more ceremony. She will,
OF course, soon return these calls.
She may 20 either with the mother
or with the young man, but calls
should be returned. At first calls
should be within ten days.

the better. The bend upward Just in
front that Is at present popular is &C.
cured by stitching the brim and the
crown OF the hat together very near
the bottom. One stitch taken over
and over and the end carefully secured
does the work. The rosette or fancy
pin put under the brim in such hats
against the hair is to cover the stitch.
Now decide where you want your
bow. Don't try your hat on: it is not
to be tried on till it is all done. Hav-
ing settled In your mind where the bow
will be, make it. Bows are big and
many looped, and the loops stand indie
pendent and we'll clear of each other
at the base. If your ribbon be light,
use white wire: if dark, use black.
Tape wire Is best because you can stitch
through it. Have lots of it all smooth,
and straight. Make the first loop
OF the wire, pass the ribbon over
the loop, making it snugly tight,
then tie the ribbon and wire
round and round at the base
with good stout thread. Wind this
hrst loop till 1t is all solid. Make an
other loop from the long end Of the
wire, PASS moro ribbon over, bind the
new loops secure, and fasten the two
loops safely together. Allow little
length OF wire each time between the
loops, 80 that when all the loops are
made they will be bound together to a
solid stem Of the wire. Neither wire
nor ribbon is to be cut till the whole bow
is made, and a short piece Of the wire
should be left to assist in adjusting the
bow to the hat. If a feather Is to 90
with the bow, or If several feathers
are to be added, now is the time to do
1t. Feathers at present are made wide
at the top and narrow at the base. To
the quill should be fastened securely,
by winding round and round with
