Don't Be Personal

Disc above personalities; ignore them; and
when name is up for election to Office. con-
slider well whether in your estimation the can
didate is qualified to fill the position better
than any other woman in the club. If you
believe she can do it. vote for her, even though
personally you may not be on speaking terms.
Work for your society as a whole. and never
let personal feelings sway you from your duty.
Have individuality and independence, do
your own thinking. and act according to the
dictates of your own reason and conscience.
Because some other member, whom YOU hap
pen to care for, intends to cast her vote for a
certain candidate, that does not justify you in
doing so, unless your judgment tells you it is
best.
Promptness in attending the club meetings
is most desirable. To come in when the
meeting is partly over is disturbing to the
speaker and other members of the club Every
woman owes it to her society to be on time
more important matters. If q member is
truly interested she will consider it depriva-
ton when obliged to remain away from the club.
Be guarded in your remarks concerning the
club to outsiders, and do not allow them to
speak unfavorably of your organization. Treat
your club with respect and require the same
attitude toward the society from others.
Women should exert themselves to promote
the welfare of their club, and make it a power
for good in their community. When the club
has attained that goal. its influence will not be
confined to a comparatively small circle. but
will extend to many other localities and will
also benefit other societies. FOR It is of the
beautiful laws of life that no individual nor
society can develop in the true sense of the
word without in some way benehting others

unconsciously lead you to enunciate clearly
and it will also give opportunity of en-
phasizing the important points of your adj
Dress thereby enabling the audience to
grasp fully the meaning you intend to con-
vey. 1t is annoying to everyone to listen
to speaker who cannot be heard distinctly
Be the speaker never SO attractive in other
respects. if she will not enunciate so that her
audience can understand, she robs both her
self and them. =
There are times when paper is necessary.
On such occasions. read slowly and look up
frequently: to keep your eyes cast down in a
measure puts you out of rapport with your
hearers.
One more essential point in regard to adj
dressing your club is this: let your talk be
short. not occupying more than fifteen or
twenty minutes usually. 1t is better that you
stop while the people are eager for more. than
that you exhaust yourself and tire them by a
prolonged discourse. If your subject is es-
pecially interesting and your listeners clamor
for more. you might give them half an hour
or possibly a little longer: but be cautious.
Be very much absorbed in the subject
YOU intend to handle. and your audience
perceiving your great interest. will naturally
fall in with your mood and reflect that interest.
If you will try to come in touch and be in SYM
pathy with your hearers then the carrying out
of all the suggestions given will be easy and
natural

Don't Cling to the Furniture

WHILE standing on the platform. do not
w grasp the back of chair. the edge of
table or anything else for moral or physical
support: keep your hands off the furniture. and
do not stand on one foot; the position throws
one hip higher than the other. giving an ugly
and ungraceful line to your figure. Neither
should YOU stand with one foot the floor
and only the heel of the other foot touching.
while turning the sole of the shoe up toward
the audience. The poise is extremely awkward.
though sometimes assumed in moments of en-
barraSsment.
Stand fairly and squarely on both feet and
your mental poise will respond to the physical.
You can avoid all stiffness of position by occa-
sionally moving step this way or that back
ward or forward as seems natural and best.
When possible. talk TO your audience in
stead of reading to them: a spoken address is
rar more interesting than one read from manu-
script, and YOU can make greater impression
if YOU speak directly to the people Always
look straight at your listeners, have pleasant
expression, and do not be afraid to smile
naturally whenever there is an excuse for doing
so. No one cares to listen to a speaker who
seems either grim or stolid.
The first requirement, when attempting to
talk from the club platform, is that you speak
so that your voice will reach the most remote
listener as well as every other individual in
the audience. You need not shout speak in
a natural tone, but loud enough to be heard;
for it is necessary that the people catch clearly
and distinctly every word you utter This is
an important matter. and cannot be impressed
too strongly Upon every club woman.
The great secret of success in addressing the
club is not to hurry Talk slowly, allowing an

Duties of the Audience

THE woman addressing her club has many OBJ
legations to her audience: but the audience
in turn owes some consideration to the speaker.
The first duty of the listeners is to come for
ward and fill all the chairs and benches nearest
the platform; for there should be no vacant
seats in front of the audience, as it is not easy
for even the most experienced speaker to talk
over empty chairs to people in the distance,
and to the woman speaker it is much more
difficult. This little matter of moving forward
is courtesy the members of woman's club
should feel glad to extend to their speaker and
they may be sure that in doing so they will
encourage and strengthen the latter.
While the speaker is talking, it is due her
that absolute silence prevails in the audience
no whispering. no fluttering of draperies and
no disconcerting twisting of heads to look
toward the rear of the room. The audience
should accord the speaker strict attention. and
be quick to applaud when she makes a good
point or says something witty or particularly
graceful; in short, they should be appreciative
and sympathetic listeners.
In woman's club all personalities should be
summed. 1t is very important lesson for all
to learn. When mastered, and its application
is brought to bear upon the life in the club, that
life will be found much smoother, easier. and
happier.
If some member opposes a motion you make,
or objects to your suggestion, do not think for
a moment that it is done from any personal
motive: remember that it is entirely club
affair. relating merely to the welfare of the
society. The opposing member may be very
fond Of you personally and yet have perfect
right to bring forward her ideas regarding the
subject in hand, even if those ideas do happen
to conflict with your own. and you should
allow her to do so without any uncomfortable
feelings on your part. If all the world thought
exactly alike upon every subject. there would
not be the same opportunity for progress. The
rule holds good in :, woman's club; there must
be diversity of opinion for the welfare of the
society

A Club Woman on the Floor
By LIMA BEARD

LAVE YOU ever looked D. TINA
II through camera at by LlNH
friend posing for a photo -
graph, and noticed how de-
lightful was the coloring, how many and varied
the beauties of both form and feature, and
then wondered why you had failed to recog-
nize these attractions until the magic glass
revealed them?
In a way. the platform of a wornan's club
has proved itself a magic glass, disclosing new
beauties and attractions in women who have
honored it with their presence. When on the
stage facing other members of her club. wo-
man may and should appear at her very best
revealing charming qualities which heretofore
have lain dormant and which might have
remained tndeveloped had not the club plat
form brought them to light.
When you address an audience. all eyes are
focused on you and you are. as it were, a pic
ture upon which the listeners are gazing. At
first the picture is like that in the camera, CIV
ing only the general effect: but it Immediately
includes speech. motion. and everything per-
tanning to you as the speaker i
1t is not to satisfy personal pride that one
should make herself charming but human
nature IS SO constituted that personal attrac-
tons carry great weight in almost every argu-
rnent, and to gain your point and hold your
within your power. Among other things. this
includes certain rules for dress and bearing.
In picture. ones eye is first attracted by the
principal lines of composition and the color
scheme Remember these when you are form
ing the stage picture. and be particular about
your poise, the lines of your drapery, and the
harmony of color in your costume; not that
you should be self conscious or affected. only
that all these details be we'll thought out be-
forehand, leaving you in unembarrassed free
dom to devote your whole powers to the pre-
sentation of your subject. :. ~

Wear Light Colors

A S rule light colors are more attractive and
= appear more cheerful to the audience than
sornber hues; so whenever feasible let your
dress be rather light in tone, and, that your
figure may seem taller, have skirt and waist OF
one color, and hat to match your costume or
in harmony with it. But even if you cannot
meet these requirements. provided you wear
becoming hat and a well hung skirt. you may
feel at ease in regard to your appearance tor
these two essentials will be the most noticeable
features of your costume. and like the famous
mantle of Charity, will cover multitude of
minor defects. 1t is preferable to have the
skirt sufficiently long in front to hide the feet:
but when not practical a short costume can
be worn if the skirt hangs evenly.
When addressing your club, make it rule
to stand on the platform and not on the floor.
for it is grave mistake to be on level with
the audience. If you are too shy and retiring
to go on the platform better not speak at all
advantage When on the floor your voice will
not carry; you can be seen by only few; and
no one can hear you with any comfort
Do not come on the platform in hesitating,
apologize manner; walk forward naturally
and leisurely, exactly as you might enter
drawing room. Avoid stationing yourself
either at one side or at the back of the stage
always stand well to the center front, where
YOU NAV see the entire audience and they
may see you.
Embarrassment often leads one to take
awkward positions; but try to keep in mind
that the rule works both ways, and that by
avoiding or overcoming awkwardness your en-
barrassment will disappear. because there will
be no outward or physical way in which it can
be manifested

CONVICTIONS OF ITALIANS BECOMING MORE COMMON

grown weary of digging dirt and makes a living by writing threatening letters.
 The reasons are not obscure. A young crop of Italians has grown uu In this city, and they care no more about the customs or ways of their parents than do the descendants of the other foreign-born people care about what their people did. As A consequence. when a crime is com. mitted in Italian quarters now. the police easily find young Italian. Amer. leans willing to volunteer as wit. nesses. They are not afraid of Italian secret societies of real or mythical type, or Italian criminals, no mora than young American is afraid of an American crook or criminal
 Catholic clergymen who speak ItaI. ian have had a wholesome influence on Italian people here. They have counseled them to obey the law and to expose criminals. The Italian set. clement workers have done much good in the same direction. The big in. crease iu the number of Italian police. men has done much to unmask Ital. ian criminals.
