Women Choir singers.

The evolution of the woman choir sing
err has been no less drastic and fruitful
than woman's entrance into the~trades
and professions. In all countries. previ-
Gus to this century, theNfemale voice was
denied place in divine worship. In Italy,
Spain and Russia today the woman Choir
lister is unknown and she has little or no
part in the church choirs Of France outside
Of Paris. The early Puritan church de-
nounced singing as Quakerish and Poper
ish. Until after the American Revolution
woman's right to lift her voice in sacred
song in church was as vigorously contest
ed as was her possession OF soul in the
days OF Plato.
Today city churches compete for the
highest cultured women soloists. and their
choice is only limited by their treasury.
The salary of woman soloists ranges from
$500 to S1.500 year. while instances are
hot wanting where a soloist has received
$1,000 a year.
With the adoption of choir system in
1870, and tolerance of the woman singer
question arose es to the place the choir
should occupy in meeting houses.
Singing was first done on the ground
floor. and some singers preferred to con-
tinue there. Four of the seats were parti-
toned off. making long pews. When they
rose to sing the front seats faced about
II was considered important for the sing
ers to face each other. so that the voices
might mingle and harmonic.
The next liberty granted was seat
in the gallery. AS the front gallery was
usually occupied by pews owned by indi-
yiduals. the choir was forced to the side
galleries.
About fifty years ago DR.. Tucker,
aithor OF the famous hymn book, in lieu
OF boy voices, trained girl choir for cho-
raj service. In red cloaks and bonnetS
they lent a picturesque color note 10 the
services at Holy Cross. Troy. New York.
Admission to the surp.ice choir is through
examination. Voice accepted. the singer
has her measure taken for cap and gown,
which is worn over her street suit during
service The church bears the expense OF
the surplice costume. When r0bed it would
be difficult to distinguish men from wom-
EN- were it not for the cap, which the lat
ter wear in compliance with st. Paul's In
that women should not enter the
temple with head uncovered. Unlike he,
early prototype, whose services were gratu
itious, the modern woman chorister is paid
from so cents to So Sunday. Weddings
and funerals, when full choral service Is
desired, increases their revenue. In some
where the organist is given full
control of the music. and round sum is
allotted him by the trustees for the pay
ment Of the choral service, the salary Is
left to his discretion. Often he trains the
untutored voice In exchange for It's serv-
