but the English women speak the

nit thelr voices are much sweeter than
ours ?'' | said
That is matter of life and climate
ne answered.. English women always
speak from the upper chest. They are
splendldly developed there. This Dives
their tones that richness and depth that
American women lack. The English
women live more uI-of-door life. they
walk more, they expand their chest more.
Ihey simply use their nose and throat as
breathing apparatus, through which they
send rich chest notes.
One OF the commonest errors is to saw
that disagreeabIe voice is caused by
talking through the nose. The trouble is
that IL is not. Nasal tones are good. You
can easily see the difference by holding
the nostrils close and speaking through
the mouth
IhIs ACT suggests the constructive con-
dltlon which is against American woman
speaking Sweetly. Their noses are NOT as
well formed as those of the women of
other races. The shape Of the nose and
the cavities about it have much to do
with tone production
Ihls also has to do with the overtones
that produce harmoncs, aud il is the
shape OF these features that gives TO MANY
SiTEeiS Such eAceLent quality OF voice."

The Rise of the Gypsy.


Edgar L. Wakeman, whose life among.
ana close study OF, the Romany, entities
hIin to be ranked as highest authority
upon gypsies, furnishes from time to
time many interesting facts IN regard to
their progress in this country. He states
that IN Chicago there is a clergyman who
was born a gypsy. a member of the
pennsylvania Legislature has the same
origin. In Canada there are fifty emi-
nent professional people who are Of the
bohemian race. a prominent civil
engineer on Southern railway is a
gypsy. Mr.. Nakeman says that in New
YORK City are half a hundred gypsies,
several OF whom are worth upward OF
100000 apiece. A Boston lawyer in
good practice is "a gypsy. A San Fran
cisco cafe is owned and conducted by a
gypsy, VINO is very rich. In Indianap-
Oils Is physician in large practice, who
passes as an Englishman. lie was born
In a 1etholm gypsy camp. One Of the
Wealthlest residents of Washington is q
gypsy. Certain business men in Rich
mond and Baltimore have the same
origin. Henry Stanley of st. Paul owns
property worth over $4,000. The Cooper
family OF East Somerville, Boston, are
worth S250,G00. Uriah Wharton owns
100000 OF real estate in New York. In
Canada the amount of property held by
gypsles is very large. Half million
dollars worth of property in and near
Dayton, Ohio, IS owned by gypsies.
In Milwaukee, Elias Brewer owns
$4,000 worth of property. ''In short"
says Mr.. Wakeman, II make it as a
statement of fact that l could fill columns
with names and addresses and property
estimates of nearly thousand gypsies
In this country whose combined wealth
would exceed $40 G00. .000."
Thus IS 1t that the gypsies have become
an interesting race to the student of
sociology. Their advancement and pros
perity are not supposititious. The gyp-
sizes are becoming in reality an important
part of the community. AS Mr.. Wake
man hints, some day the busy politician
Will be scurrying about to catch the gypsy
