CHARM OF VOICE.

Very few women realize what an effect
a sweet voice has or those around her. A
woman may be very pretty to look upon,
may be faultlessly and bewitchingly attired
and attractive in every way. and yet
directly she speaks the spell is complete,
the charm is enchanted il she has a
pleasing voice.
Very few voices are so naturally bad
that they win not sucenmb to training,
and the voice can be trained to be just as
sweet and gentle as we please to make it,
A woman should speak in a low voice
She should not allow her voice to raise
itself to a high pitch. A shrill-voiced
woman is terrible. She should not shout
her orders to the servants down stairs,
nor call to anyone who may be In an
other part of the house. This shouting
and raising of the voice spells the tone and
quality of the voice, and tends to make ii
harsh.

Tho Rare-Kneed hoy.

Late the other afternoon, as | was
going down Market street, 1 saw a
woman and a little boy. Both were
even extensively dressed, the woman
in particular wearing a collar and
muff of splendid mink. The little boy,
too, was dressed in the best that
money could buy.
He was a sweet little fellow, but
my admiration soon changed to pity,
for he was yearing white sox which
came only about two inches above his
shoes, and there were his little legs
and knees, bare to the chill November
breezes. And. as if to make the con-
trast more marked, his hands were
covered with warm gloves.
Such styles are more than ridiculous;
they are positively cruel. 1t seems to
me thai no mother should be allowed
to ~jeopardize the health of her chill
dren for the sake of fashion, or for
any other reason.
THAT ~youngster was as pretty as a
picture. and he would have been just
as attractive. more so, if his little
knees had been sensibly covered with
warm hose.
Decidedly. there is no sense in such
ideas. The fad of dressing helpless
youngsters in socks in the cool weather
is almost deserving of the attention
of the s. P. @. G.

THE PRINCESS GOWN

Al first one wonders If the style is good.
but a second look at the princess gown
made with n tunic skirt convinces one
that it is clever, If nothing else. The up
per portion is of the primmest princess out
lines. positively plain over the waist, with
only a few gathers held in with a shaped
girdle. This portion of the dress reaches
to the knees, and the skirt beneath is quite
long in front, SO much so that 1t must be
lifted when the wearer is walking, and the
back of the fDunce, also the edge of the
princess portion, is outlined with Persian
braid in a dull gray and sage green tone.
The rounded yoke and mandarin sleeves
are finished with the same material. The
shade of trimming harmonizes with the
gray cloth of the costume.

VIII you kindly publish in the Question
Box the bet way to clean white furs,
imitation ermine, and win the thanks of
ELSIE II.
Put a quantity of bran into an iron or
earthen pot and heat until it has become
very hot. Then pour the bran upon the
fur and rub it in thoroughly. Then brush
the fur with a clean brush until all of the
particles Of bran ave been removed. This
will clean the furs very nicely.
Another way is to moisten bran and rub
It, a little at a time, into the fur. When
dry, shake and brush out.

AIDS TO BEAUTY
si AND PERFECT HEALTH.

IL the heart is weak but otherwise
normal IL can often be strengthened
by active lee movement, such as
rising ON tip toes, swinging the legs back
and forth and In a circular motion, hexing
the foot and knees and even running. This
last should be begun slowly and not con-
tinued too long at first.
Tile objection to using oatmeal in the
bath is that II clogs the waste pipes. This
can be obviated by tying the oatmeal in a
bag or clean salt sack and letting it re-
main in the bathtu'o while the hot water
is run In. Oatmeal will render the water
delightfully."- soft and as an aid to the
skin IS worth a barrel of indictments sold
under the name of bath beautiiers, etc.
Nervous breakdown is more often due to
overworking the digestive organs than to
mental strain as such. Abstemlous habits
in eating, combined with some attention to
exercise, make II possible for one to do an
immense amount of hard brain work with
out injury; but to attempt anything out of
the ordinary in the way Of work while
subsisting on the ordinary stimulating diet
is 10 ingite disaster.
The teeth should not be brushed from
side to side. If this is done the points of
the gums will be injured and the teeth
loosened. The upper teeth should be
brushed from the top downward from the
gums to the ends of the teeth, the lower
teeth from the bottom upward, also from
the gums to the extremity of the teeth. 1t
is essential to wash the teeth at night and
wise to wash them also in the morning.
Rinse the mouth after each meal.
The ugliest nails can be improved by
taking the trouble TO push back the hard
skin that grows at the base Of the nails.
This should be done after the hands have
been washed In warm soap and water and
are still moist. A soft towel is the best
thing to use for the purpose, or an ivory
or bone implement, such as is sold in mani
cure sets.
Hair brushes should be washed at least
once a week and dried in the sun and air
with the bristles down. An excxellent
solution for this purpose is the following:
10 one quart of warm water add one tea
spoonful of ammonia, one-half teaspoonful
OF borax and a small bit of ordinary
kitchen soap dissolved in boiling water.
After washing the brushes thoroughly In
this mixture rinse in clear, cold water and
the bristles Will be soft and white like
new. A little vaseline rubbed on the backs
and handles Of the brushes before they
are put into the bath viii prevent the
polish from being impaired.

corning a man who went to a certain
small town to spend his vacation. AS
soon as he arrived he went to the local
telegraph office to assure his folks of his
safe arrival. He asked the young
woman in attendance several questions
regarding the service, but she cut him
short by exclaiming, Il am not paid to
answer silly questions" He turned the
tables on her by ordering her to wire,

DECLINES N
LEADERS AT OPENING.
st. Paul, Pennsy, New York Central
Union Pacific and U. S. Steel
Show Slight Drop.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Opening prices OF
stocks responded to London's disposition TO
take profits at the higher level and there
were general declines, st. Paul falling Ia.
Pennsylvania. New York Central and
American Sugar 1 and Union Pacific, Cana
dian Pacific, Great Northern preferred.
Atchison, United States Steel preferred and
Anaconda large fractions. international
Mercantile Marine preferred sold at an adj
vance of AZ.
II a. m.-The decline was only slightly
extended vixen it was brought to a halt
by the sensational bidding up Of Reading
and American Smelling. Reading was
marked up from 921s to 95, and American
Smelling from 74% to 79A. The short in
terest in other stocks became alarmed
and covered heavily, with the result that
a. good many other stocks also sold a
point or more above yesterdays closing.
Canada Southern rose 67s, New York, Chi
cago and st. Louis second preferred 6.
Wheeling and Lake Erie second preferred
4. Atlantic Coast Line S1a. Hooking Valley
8. Republic Steel preferred IA and Con-
solidated Gas 2. Heavy realizing wiped
out the rise in Reading, drove Union Pa
cifc to a point below last night and again
left little of the advance in other stocks.
Prices huctuated In a very feverish man
nef. but got down to a lower level than
during the opening dealings. The market
fell into dullness. There were advances In
Westin ghouse Electric Of 4, American Car
preferred 2h and Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Denver and Rio Grande pre-
ferred and American Smelling preferred =.
Minneapolis and st. Louis sold at a de-
cline of 3h. Bonds were irregular.
After Union Pacific had been lowered
to 115, the market began to show some
effect of supporting orders and became
steady. Rallies were restricted to moderate
fractions and the buying soon ceased.
Bull operations were resumed in Ameri-
can Smelling and Brooklyn Transit with a
ket, but as soon as the professionals began
to offer stocks freely, the market sank in
some instances lower than before. Bust
ness became very quiet on the decline.
CRANKY Mining lost 1, Delaware and Hud-
son 3, A~malgamated Copper Q Is, Northern
Pacific ia, and New York Central TX.
