out tlring, and therefore, should be inval- uable to the business woman. The improper use of the voice is evidently characteristic formed generations back. Children uncon' scousy learn to use their voices as do those around them. The American 'twang' is a matter of habit, and one which is rapidly being overcome.

 Miss Thursby said that 1t was long after she became famous as a singer that she learned the art of using her voice in con versation. Her teacher would warn her not to use her voice in talking upon days pre- ceding evenings on which she was to sing.
 And" continued Miss Thursby, T would go about the house afraid to speak q word. carrying on any necessary conversation in whispers If instead of being forbidden to speak I had been shown how to do so prop ery, l might have talked half the day with out tiring myself.

 Josephine grew up the delight of her fond parent. Thank goodness, she woniu remark, you can wear any color with your complexion, and your neck k not going 10 call for point lace and tulle and pearl dog collars to make 1t presentable! In the meantime Joannas exasperated mother threw her Into gymnasium and bade her acquire carriage since she had no figure, and sent her out to walk four hours day to give her some semblance of color.
 Josephine, moreover, had q high handed way with hor socially. She expected at tentlon; she commanded 1t. She got 1t, too. College glee club members found her rip pin" and the younger attaches of the diplomatic corps in Washington one winter regarded her as the embodiment of the God dess of Liberty. But Joanna, rather humby grateful for notice and anxious 10 reward 1t by intelligent attention and quiet appre- clation, talked 10 the professors and was said by tho ambassadors to be very clever girl. And the gymnasium and the open air and the habit of taking self-depreclatory { ought of what she should wear, though thcy moved Josephiue's pity aud caused her to say, "What bore" nevertheless stood Joanna in excellent stead.

As foundation for charm, for fascinat tion, even for prettihess and loveliness-of mature growth-the humble consciousness of wide mouth or m undistinguished nose is unex- celled. Conversely, nothing makes more directly for early sere-and yclowncss than n proud consciousness Of pink-an1- white Ut lai nothing so mars q womun's chances of dazzling large circle at 10 as the subdung of n small one at 20.

The only thing to do is to train them in the creed that they have nothing; their efforts to obtain will be enormous.
 It is the present condition of Josephine and Joanna which prompts these remarks to the mothers of young daughters. Josephine was q good-looking little girl, sound and round, fair and rosy.

singing, I teach her to speak correctly. After she has learned this 1t Is easy to ad- vance with the vocal art, for to sing is merely to talk upon sustained musical tones.
 The first essenIial TOT a sweet, musical voice for speaking or singing is correct breathing. To. learn to breathe correctly it Is only necessary to carry the body perfectly poised. The work with pupils voice be- gins with her feet. Nature does nothing without a purpose. The arch beneath the instep of the foot is not there for beauty only. It is so placed in order that it may support the weight of the body. just as the arch beneath a bridge supports the weight or its eXpanse. When we stand, as inc majority of persons do. with our weight on our heels we produce the dislocation of our anatomy that would be produced in bridge If its weight rested on one side of it's arch only. Many persons stand with their weight on their heels, lean back from the waist and raise their shoulders, feeling that they are standing very straight indeed Instead they are augmenting the trouble by weaken Ing the spine and distendiGg the abdomen With bodies so distorted one cannot breathe naturally. In order to gain correct pose the spine should be perfectly straight. and one should lean forward from the hips until the ear, shoulder, hip and instep form straight line, and the weight of the body rests upon the arch of the instep, Many singing teach

For the woman who suffers from harsh, nnmelodious voive there Is hope. Miss Emma Thursby, who has made a special study of this defect, says there is no excuse for anyone enduring such an affiiction. It is not necessary to learn to sing in order to have a melodious voice in speech. Indeed, lshe thinks that to learn to speak correctly should be the first step toward mastering the vocal art.
 ''The American woman has become noted among foreigners not more for her beauty and fascination than she has for her shrih, unlovely voice." said Miss Thursby. Tn deed. it has become accepted not only among foreigners, but by many of our own people, that the voices of our countrywomen are naturally harsh, an imputation than which none could be more unjust. The most beau tiful voices in the world are to be found in America.
 But intonations which should be mu- sical are rendered discordant by the Aneri- can woman's ignorance of her vocal instru- t1nent and how to produce her melodies upon 1t. The proper use of the voice does not come naturally to her, as 1t does to women of other nations. The reason Tor this Is not clear Some attribute the strident tones to the life she is forced to lead-to talking In crowded rooms and upon noisy thorough fares. This, however, does not explain it. A voice well used is clearer and carries farther than does one badly managed Moreover, i. nroner use of the voice enables one to sneak for almost any length of time with

 Close to his breast; fondly he pressed
