against illness and age. Every correct

Singing teaches girls self-possession. 1t
makes them sure of themselves and sure
of their voices, and some day they may
be called upon to speak before a large
gathering when stage fright might seize
them if they had not early been taught
self-composure and how to command the
voice. 1t is a pleasure to listen to a
woman who makes a graceful and melo-
dious speech of thanks or appreciation;
yet there probably never was one who
could do this who had not studied the art
of breathing, standing and of voice pitch.
English women of wealth and fashion
are frequently called upon to address
gatherings of tenants. and it may
be that the American girl of the rising
generation will take part in similar DEM
onstrations, in which event she will be
more than grateful for her early voice

A well modulated voice is one of the
greatest of feminine gifts 1t outlives
beauty, gayety and youth; it compensates
for many unattractive or negatively at
tractive qualities, and when pleasing

Why Wings Are Popular.

f you are clever enough to be your own
miIliner, get out your last years wings,
for wings are all the. rage, and do not
imagine they may not be fresh enough for
use, for if they have defects you can
readily conceal them with net.
According to the mode, all wings that
stand away from the hat must be net COW
cred. Match the wings in color or use
white net, as you prefer, but get a line
quality. Wash blond lace is good for this
purpose Cut the net the size necessary
for each wing, and after enveloping the
wing in it fasten by sewing it with big
stitches down the back.
The sewing of the seam will show, but
it is expected to, and should be done
in a large, rather loose way to give tht
effect of having been carelessly put on as
a protection for the moment against the
wind.

mental selection. The pose is not only
awkward but impossible to hold while
playing. At the same time the pupil is
not permitted to stoop and sit IN a
hunched up posture because the other one
is unsatisfactory. A slight dropping of
the shoulders is permissible. and in brill
liant selections the pupil must lean little
bit forward, as though holding close COM
munion with the keyboard. Piano playing
develops the arms and fingers; it keeps
them supple and active. Musicians rarely
possess by nature all the lightness and
grace they desire, and many of them take
special sets of exercises to improve the
action and delicacy of the hands and
fingers. If a girls wrists are weak or
her fingers clumsy certain kinds of exer-
eises will overcome this. And these ex-
ercises can be taken in connection with
the regular piano practice. Even the
frailest girl usually is possessed of great
strength of fingers and wrists. especially

Don't Use Pins.

GIRLS, if you wish to be dainty about
Iyour fancy work discard pins, which
invariably leave an imprint in delicate
fabrics, and use instead wax tipped
needles. Such needles cannot be bought,
but are quickly made at home by
dipping the eye ends of fine needles
in melted wax, thus giving them tiny
heads. AS an evening pastime dozens can
be prepared in this way, using one color
or different colors of wax ii the maker
likes artistic variety. The girl who cnce
uses these dainty needles for pinning hel
fine work will never be willing to resort
to ordinary pins.
