IN this book shows that she feels that
womans shut out" and restricted po-

that to them is traceable the economic

WHY coNTRALTos ARE SCARCE.


Some one seems to have noticed that
the contralto voice among women is
becoming scarcer and scarcer, on the
stage as well as in private life;
and a physician who has spoken
to on the subject, is quoted as say
ing:
with the recent developments OF
the American girl through physical
culture and athletics" he said. "a pro-
cess that has changed her from the
weak and flat-chested creation of a
few years ago to the large and broad
ly-built individual of today, / believe
the scientist would expect to find a
deepening and Strengthening of the
voice to correspond.
And yet. in the. other sex, as far
as have observed singers, the oppo-
site rule seems to hold. The stout,
heavy man Is apt to be a tenor. and
while the bass singers are sometimes
large men, they are almost always
spare, Indeed. from my observations,
/ believe that singing tenor is apt to
make a man grow fat. So II may be.
indeed, that athletics for women is
responsible for the disappearance Of
the eontFaito voice"
