women's Voicea.

Women spend years in learning to
play a musical instrument, in polish
ing their manners and in studying the
mysteries of dress and fashion, yet
their voices are left uncultivated.
though on these depends in highest
degree the charm Of social intercourse.
Go into a drawing room or a dining
room crowded with women, and the
din of the vocal discord Is distressing,
yet all this Is conquerable by educa-
ton and the conquering Of it is one
Of the most important functions of ed
ucation. The musical instrument most
carefully to be cultivated Is the hui
man voice, from the earliest childhood
to maturity.-New York Sun.

Weddinx Gift Burden..

A young couple just starting In
life, with only enough for simple and
economical living, received at their
wedding several hundred handsome,
expensive and many Of them ornate
presents; presents from relatives whom
they had never seen, from mere ac-
quaintances and from people for whom
they cared nothing. It took them
years, az they said, to live down these
presents. Many Of them they simply
put IN q safe deposit vault; but they
FELT under obligation to each giver Of
gifts. and when, In turn, these friends
and acquaintance were married, the
young couple felt In duty bound not

the Ohio State platform.
No Limit on Themes.
Secretary Shaw will be able to talk
