Caprice of Fashion.

A tan pique is certainly "chic" with a
deep, scant and stiff apron founce on
the skirt, edged by two rows of mar
row black velvet ribbon and box
plated blouse, held by black velvet
belt.
Some lace-trimmed gowns have lace
sashes tying behind on one side, with
long ends, making pretty effect over
colored bodice. UnEned lace sleeves
are another novelty belonging to the
summer, and are fastened to both silk
and cotton gowns.
The long lace line in front is liked
now, and the pointed manner of ar
ranging a belt carries out this idea
Tailor-made jacket suits are palmer
in regard to trimming than they were
during the winter. They often have
no garniture at all, save the wide straps
on the seams, although the severely
plain suits are generally built of mot
tied or checked cloths. Outside of
tailor-made suits it is bit original to
wear an untrimlned Chicago
Record.

Safely Hid 900.

The discussion in Connection with the
renewal of the charter of the Bank of
France, which has just been prolonged
by the national legislature until the
end of 1920, has brought to light the
measures that were adopted during the
war of 1870 for the preservation of the
specieand valuables confded to the care
of the institution to the extent of over
$1oo,o0o,0o0. 1t seems that the whole
of this treasure was packed into some
$4,000 cases, marked 'explosive pro-
jectiles," and was shipped by rail to
Brest, where it was ''cached" in such a
manner in the arsenal that, even had
the Germans captured the port, they
would never have discovered the hid
ing place.-Chicago Journal.

Qualities of n Bank President.

There is no single sympathy, no ac-
complishment, no physical advantage,
which may not contribute to the sue
cess of the head of bank. The friends
he made at college generation back,
his associations at the club, on his va
cation, even in his church. are factors
used with consummate skill and the ma
tive courtesy which characterizes the
higher types of successful business
men. There is no quality of alertness
or adaptability which does not aid in
the work of making friends for the
bank, i. e., depositors. A perfect bank
president should be one who can hold
his own with zest and yet with dignity
among the .roistering class of Wall
street men in their late suppers at the
club, who can shoot with them, fish
with them, drive with them, and who
can also impress the staid and strait
laced citizens who are his fellow vestry-
gnen as pillar of respectability.-

BICYCLE VOICE NOW.
Enemies of Wheeling Say 1t Alec,

Enemies or Wheeling Say 1t Affects
the Vocal Chords.
All the talk of the bicycle face having
practically died out, the foes of the
wheel have now trotted out another
scarecrow, claiming that as a result of
wheeling women are becoming loud
takers, with an unpleasant quality of
voice. They assert that wheeling. es-
pecially with the mouth open, has a
detrimental effect on the vocal chords,
and when to this is added the strain to
which the voice is subjected in an effort
to keep up a conversation while cy-
cling the danger seems something more
than shadow. Some persons who
have made voice culture life study
are inclined to fall in with these views,
asserting that exercise on the wheel is
responsible for an apparent alteration
in the voices of women. One vocal
teacher says:
While bicycle riding people fire.
quently fill their lungs with dust, and
TINS is, OF course, injurious. Then the
exercise leaves the system exhausted
and unable to resist the bad effects of
excessive perspiration. A severe cold
us detrimental to the speaking voice,
and when these colds are frequent, as
they are with bicyclists, they will uf-
tlmately result in permanent injury.
If women would ride but few miles
at time and would keep their mouths
closed there would be no danger, but
l find that many of my pupils cannot
refrain from overriding the sport. Pro
fessional women realize the harm that
bicycling does to their voices, but they
say that they cannot bear to give up
wheeling. Calling to one another as
wheelwomen frequently do cannot help
but strain the voice if persisted in"
Another vocal instructor holds total
ly opposite views. Said she: 81 am
strongly in favor of cycling for wem-
en-. 1t is most healthful exercise, and
so cannot fail to be beneficial to the
singing and speaking voice. I do not
believe the old-fashioned theory of
things affecting the vocal chords direct
ly. Of course it is possible to strain
the voice, but I should think this most
unlikely when wheeling. The very tend
ency of the wheel is to keep the rider
quiet. If riders should call from one
to the other when outdoors their speak
ing voice might be affected, but the
most strident speakers are often the
sweetest singers. The soft, well-mod
ulated voice of the English girl does
not give us as many brilliant examples
of the song bird as the less pleasant
and somewhat nasal tones of the Amer
lean. Nine out of every ten successful
singers abroad to-day are Americans.
This is because the other girls are never
allowed to expand their lungs with the
same delightful freedom. A good di
gestion is the first requisite toward
good singing. I should say poor cooks
have more to do with spelling the voice
than all the wheels in Christendom. A
theory has been advanced that the rapid
breathing necessary when riding the
wheel is injurious. This is wrong, as
the vocal chords are completely pro-
tected when not in use" se."-Philadelphia
Press.
