II is no libel on the sex 70 say that
all women are instinctiyely fond OF
dress. 1t is a fact that is self-eyident
To everybody, even to the women them
selves.
II is nearly as true, II not equally,
that all women are clothes-conscious.
A man may be dressed either in his
best or his worst. and he is apparently
quite unaware Of II. But a woman
never forgets any detail Of the gar
ments which environ her. She Is al!
the time on the watch lest some ele-
ment OF her clothing be out Of kilter
or in a position or condition where II
cannot assert itself TO the uttermost
or hide away most coverly, either as
the object may be display or conceal
ment.
Possessed OF the idea that the plac-
ouet Of her gown is gaping, or that the
fastening OF her belt is not as II should
be. you see her hand coming around q
investigate: then she has 10 feel OF hei
back hair 20 make sure that II Is IN
prcsentable condition; next her hat ha'
to be Strengthened, or she is impressed
that her rear collar button is misbehav'
ing. And so II you walk in front oi
behind a woman, you will notice.
YOU are Of the noticing kind-that she
has her hands full and her mind occu
pied by her clothing.
II is really a wonder that womer
have any thought FOR other matters
That they do think Of oipar thing
while apparently thinking Of nothing
but the clothes they stand in may b
accepted as proof OF their superiority
over the bipad. man. No man could bt
as clothes-conscious as the women ar
and attend 10 business. Columbus 90.

Care OF the Voice.

The culture and training of the voice

breathing. One cannot sing or speak
well without understanding the action

In their importance and use 20 the
vocal cords. 10 the bellows Of the
organ. The lungs are never emptied
OF air in breathing. In ordinary
breathing very little Of the air which
fills them IS displaced. In forced ex-
p.ration, such as accompanies singing.
the old. residual air as Il Is called.
IS forced out, and replaced by fresh air.
This IN turn stimulates the circulation.
and thus the whole processes Of the
body are helped and v!talized.
The greatest injury is done 10 the
delicate mechanism Of the larnyx by
frequent colds. The vocal cords are
thIckened and infamcd. and sometimes
injured beyond repair By these repeat
Cd infammations. many Of which occur
in childhood. One should not be over
whimsical about draughts. but II is true
that they are injurious 70 the vocal
cords. The latter are also very suscep-
tible 10 the evil influences of irritating
conditions. Air laden with impurities
such as smoke or dust. passing through
the narrow passage formed By the yo-
cal cords leaves its deleterious impress
