PROPER CARRIAGE

One of the most important features in the building of good figure is the shape and carrying of the shoulders. The shoulders and chest have an "cX pression," and they communicate per sonality more than Is recognized by any but a student The habit of fold ing the arms Is a pernicious one, and it will be noticed that a person with q weak heart Is specially prone to in- dulge in it the suppositlon being that holding tho arms In this fashion lifts the weight from the heart In sitting, the chest should always be raised and the feeling there should be is that tho shoulder blades are meeting in the back When walking, the back of the neck should be kept close to tho back of the collar, This Is a good rule, and the young man or woman who has had this preached at them in childhood will be saved much modification later in
 life It is a painful thing to sec the number of children slouching along in an ungraccful and sloycnly walk, which lust a few words from their elders would correct,

Hints For The Household
SHIRT WAIST STYLE

There are already as many varieties in mossalInc and crepe de chine blouses as there have been In white wash ones. Many of the new ones are eXcee lingly good looking, one of tho best IS cut Co form box plalts down the whole sur face, front and back, and fastcns in front
 Instead of frIll which is common place, if pretty the material on the right side is extended beyond the ccn- ter plait for three Inches then seal loped and heavily buttonholed
 This is change from tho usual plalted frll and does not require ex- pert skill In embroidery and every where one sees strong revival of the scalloped, buttonholed edge for all manner Of trimming.
 on this blouse the cuffs, which arc four inches wide, are lu&de to match. The material Is violet, and the cm- broidery is in deeper tone The method can be worked out in white mossnllnc, with the embroidery done in a color Black blouses have the seal ops edged with gcranium, pale blue or bright jade green,
 These soft silk waists arc becoming quite frequent, and one sees them on all tho best dressed women. Those who arc apt to persplre should have them lined with thin white muslin or wear a separate slip of muslin or silk which is even better.
 This can go to the tub every week, fl necessary and it protects the blouse from the oily dust invariably gathered up from the neck and shoulders.
 IL Is also fashinahle to cmbroideI these blouses of silk and crepe dc chine as though they were of wash material There are many designs given for this purpose, and they are followed out witt coronation braid or floss
 Most of these rasten down back, in- stead of front in order to show off tho large, bold design in embroidery It I' rare that the collars and cuffs arc em hrodcrcd to match Usually the stock is plain, high one, honod to ilt thC neck The turnover or half the deptl of thc collar Is not used
 As rule, the bouses that faster down tho back do not carry turnove, cuffs The sleeve is a close fitting one that fastens at the wrist with buttons and does not have any cuff.
 Even the blouses that fasten dowr the front often have heavy side pieces of embroidery down center plait of cen ter of sleeve.

Tone Talks.

Many church organs arc stu tuned to tho old concert pitch Il would have been better if they could have been changed years ago to French pitch, better known as the International pitch, which is a semi-tone lower Singers who have to sing with these high pitched organs cannot avoid stralnng their voices Throughout the week they are accompanied in their studies, on Instruments that are tuned in tho low or international pitch When Sunday comes they arc called upon to use their vocal organs at considera- be greater stretch or tension than Is thelr line of habit This extra tax upon the delicate mechanism and nerve force of a singer, 1t must be rcmem- bored Is not confined to a few notes, but every tone in the voice Is effected by thIs seml-tone rlsc in pitch, To produce this higher pitch means that tho muscular tension of the entire yo- cal apparatus must be considerably in- creased The singer feels this change of action approclably, The vocal cords unaccustomcd to so much additional labor, soon become incapacitated to do their best work If the music Is writ ten high the effect upon the singers throat is positively injurious,
 Tho pitch of all musical instruments had been gradually raised, finally reaching a point so high that voices and stringod instruments could no ! longer endure the strain A lower pitch was introduced and in 1859 the inter- l national pitch, the ono now universal 1 ly used, was adopted,
 Tho majority of people who attend church do not know whether tho organ ! ls pitched high or low. But they do i know that the sopranos voice often sounds shrll and thin In the upper register. they do know that tho tenor ! has a hard time of it in getting th' | high notes. and that his voice some ! times breaks in most distressing manner. they do know also that the rontralto ln her solos, has sometimes a strained metallic quality In her voice #Ns matter ar course singers have to hc,r hnrdcn of censure for condl- lions of voice for which they are ny no means wholly responsible. The trou- hlc Is due. In very largo degree to tho pornicious influence of high n'trhoo organs. somo times the difficulties are tn certain extent. overcome by trans posinc the music half tone lower than If Is written Recourse Is also had to thc occasional alteration oi ihe high notes in song Not week pass es by that tho writer Is not called upon Co effect some such changes as these in order to amcioratc an un- comfortable situation
 The process of elimination of high pitched organs is slow Fire and decay being about the only means which bring their objectionable existence tc a close As there Is never any money left over after the regular expenses TOT music are paid. and as 1t Is an eNpon. sivc operation to lower the pitch o' an organ: and as the fire department Is exceedingly alert, and as decay works mmoderately slow In the pro cess of destruction, the chances o singers getting any immediate relic from q tormenting situation are oX tremely remote.
