not be too frequently emphasized. Besides
the injury done by the unwarmed air en-
tering the lungs the mucous membrane is
hardened by the saliva being dried up. and
the muscles of the tongue and throat grow
stiff and less responsive.
1t is comparatively easy to control ones
breathing when awake, but when asleep
the harm goes on. To remedy this involves
Z slight discomfort, but one can endure it
patiently, looking 70 the end. Cut court
plaster into little strips about one-fOurth
Of an inch in width. and paste several
across the lips, placing them up and down,
with the lips held naturally.
Sometimes even the sticky plaster will
not hold against the unconscious effort Of
the mouth to open according to its old
bad fashion, but the trite little motto about
trying again wiz suggest the course TO
pursue.
And if one is tempted to give up rather
than endure the discomfort this method
involves, a walk through an ordinary day
coach, or a night made hideous by the
presence Of a enOrer in a near berth, viii
cause a solemn VOW TO be taken never to
do likewise, and create willingness to
use any means TO prevent such a fumili-

could endure it; and blessed be that vanity
One Of our greatest mistakes-one Of the
surest means of losing beauty or falling to
cultivate more-is thinking that it is imma-
terial how we stand or sit or talk when we
are unobserved. People know when
thing is real, when it IS assumed. The
dislike for posing is so general and so
quickly aroused that no girl can dare risk
her beauty by trying it.

GaIatea's naive remark about her artist
lover having two voices and two faces, one
for her and one for the world, seems 20 APP
ply to number Of girls. Their posing
arises from a good source-the wish TO be
pleasing-bUt it is misdirected energy. If

a time when she is visible TO the naked
eye she is blamed for affectation and con-

undertaken in a worthy spirit.
God meant women, il seems right to sup

attain the original meaning.
The voice. even more than face or body,
shows the treatment given it. Whining,
gruffness and loud talking make very
sure impression. No amount of conscious
effort can altogether undo the evil they
accomplish.
Pursue your vocal culture with the high
ideal that makes you more nearly a per-

woman. II keeps her from false pride il
dignifies her physical as well as her mental
attitude, and, above all, it surrounds her
with an atmosphere of purity and refine
ment which is very potent in its influence.
