THE FIRST STEP IN. VOCAL Gull

Proper breathing is so essential in
voice production that it must receive
first attention, and the first require
ment is to keep the mouth shut.
OF course, no tone can be either
strong or pure if lungs are cramped
so that the air cannot find room. In
order to increase the size of the lung
cavity, raise the chest and keep the
body well and strongly poised.
So much harm has been done to
voices by allowing the mouth to become
the regular air passage that the need
of care cannot be 200 frequently en-
phasized. Besides the injury done by
the unwarmed air entering the lungs,
the mucous membrane is hardened by
the saliva being dried up, and the mus
Giles of the tongue and throat grow stiff
and less responsive. 1T is comparative
ly easy to control ones breathing when
awake, but when asleep the harm
goes on. To remedy this involves a
slight discomfort, but one can endure
it patiently, looking to 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. If one is tempted to give up
rather than endure the discomfort this
ethod involves, a walk through an
ordinary day-coach, or a night made
hideous by the presence Of a snorer in
near berth, will cause a solemn vow
to be taken never to do likewise-Wo

veil that is worn with the hat than
most people understand. In buying a
veil to be worn with large hat, great
care must be taken as to the size of
the dots. Too closely woven a veil,
with the dots close together, is not be-
coming, while some of the very sheer
wells are equally trying. The best
mesh is a fine one-t-that is clear one
with cobweb pattern, and chenille
dots, not too near together. If an en-
tirely plain veil is worn, the cobweb
pattern must be pronounced one. The
veil must be put on so that the lines
are drawn up, not down. The wells
are all worn SO that they reach just
below the chin, and are long enough to
fasten at the back with a pin, but not
to have floating ends. For the small
bonnets. the very sheer yelling is alto
gether the best-that u.s. the kind with
out any dots at ALL indeed, there is a
rage at present for the plain Yelling.

INEXPENSIVE PRINTING.
A Stormy Day Amusement for Children,


The Allerdices were of that happy
class of children never at a loss for
ways to amuse themselves. When Tom
my began to make a select collection of
newspaper pictures, the other Aller-
dices assured themselves that Tommy
had pleasant secret, the conjectured
proportion of which had grown to
amazing greatness. when one stormy
day on which the children were forbid
den to go outside Tommy invited them
all into the kitchen, to which for an
hour all but Bridget and his mother had
been denied admittance.
AS the children went trooping in at
his invitation they found him stationed
at the table with a jar containing a
yellowish fluid, beside him several
brushes and the newspaper clippings.
Mother said we could make pictures
this afternoon, so I made some of the
magic transfer liquid, and you will see
that we can print pictures, too, as well
as the newspapers" announced Tom.
Tommy swept his brush, we'll coaked
with the liquid, over the surface of the
picture. The print was then laid aside
for several minutes and allowed to soak,
while Tommy prepared Others Then
the first picture was taken up The
piece of plain white paper to which the
picture was to be transferred had been
well damDened with water, the super
fiuous moisture being removed by plac-
ing it between two pieces of blotting
paper. When all was ready, Tommy
clapped the picture, face downward on
