the opportunities that are constantly coming up to sing for friends and ac- quaintances. Singers are everywhere in demand and everywhere appreci- ated.
 Older singers--for the sake of def initeness let us say those who are thirty years of age and over-should never give up regular daily practice. The muscles once out of training at this age, 1t Is an extremely difficult undertaking to restore them to neXi- bility and strength. Jean de Reszke was one time advised to rest his voice absolutely. He did so for period of a month or so When he began again to sing, to his dismay he found that he had lost much of his ac- customed control over his breath, the vocal organs were stiff and the voice consequently logy. The change was noticeable and report went out that his voice was no longer capable as of yore. With utmost care and unus- ual diligence he succeeded In restor- ing it. He never again resorted to n period of rest as d means of restoring the voice on the contrary every ex- perienced singer and teacher most emphatically advocates daily vocal exercise for all singers of mature age.

SUMMER COLORS

Silver gray without hint of steel in 1t has become the fashion for hand- some gowns in liberty satin, messaline and satin crepe de chine. It is trimmed with silver lace and heavy chenille fringe in the same shade.
 Rich old yellow is in first style in Paris and promises to be much worn here in July and August. When in handsome fabrics 1t Is deliberately em- broidered in gold soutache and inset with gold threaded tllet lace. It Is the smart color for bridesmaids
 Jade green Is rivaled by apple green, which is combined with black, with ecru and with white.
 Amber and lilac is the new combin- ation sent over from Paris This is used in linens, but especially in the soft lowered muslins and cotton prints that are so much in style,
 Hyacinth blue Is combined with white, with yellow and with pale buff. It is the top of the fashion in Europe.
 A vivid tone of bronze in veilings and in fine cloths for street and lunch con wear is the thing,

A RICH WoMAN's CLOSET.

"The nearest approach to a Blue- beards closet that l ever saw, said a woman the other day, was in the country house of one of New Iork's most fashionable women.
 "I didn't know her; but in queer, roundabout way 1 was once shown over the house and saw Mrs. V---s private apartments, l pretty nearly fainted when l walked into room where a dozen or more women wore apparently hanging from the ceiling.
 When l came to l found that what l had taken to be a choice collection of female corpses was really q lot Of manikins, Mrs. N--- had them made after her own measurements and her choicest costumes were kept on thcm when not in use.
 Her maid would fasten a gown onto a manikin, put something over 1t to keep the dust off and then by means of a rope and pulley draw the whole thing up to the ceiling It was fine arrangement, but looked as if Blue beard had been around. '--NeW York Sun

 It shows up on the afternoon gown in wonderful designs of soutache, cone in self tones or in harmonious bending.
 In the straight tailored street suit the Ianel on the skirt is nearly all ways bias or made of a striped ma terlaI going straight across in design and often with a seam up the center and buttoned down the edge
 The new linen skirt for summer wear, either with jumpers to match or t, be worn with white shirtwaists, shows double box plait down the front, with row of pearl buttons on each side.

CLOTH TRIMMING

Cloth trimming on tussores gives a smar. effect If not overdone, and 1t is heralded now even for linens and marqrisettes. Short skirts, which us- uall, look best with the least possible trimming, are now aping tunic lines. They take off from the height of the wearer however. Coat and skirt cos tunes are holding first favor, and many of the black and white cloths in checks and stripes are used for shor. skirts, and colored silks or colths for the coats, while a coat matching the skirt looks extremely well with some contrasting cloth trimmings put upon the coat and perhaps long panel lines upon the skirt in front.

BROWN SHOE RUBBERS

r. seems to be a comparatively un- known fact that tan rubbers and tips are as easy to obtain as are the black overshoes. In fact, black shoes are o'ten provided just for use in rainy O" snowy weather, because while brywn boots and low shoes are pre- ferred for ordinary wear, black are worn on the damp days, because the combination of black rubber and brown boot Is so very unattractve. Brown shoes are decidedly fashionable at present, and the tan rubbers, when they have once become well known, will do much to keep these smart tan boots in vogue.

UNSTARCHED LINEN

A well-known authority says that table linen should never be starch.d. It is n common mistake that many housekeepors make and nothing so dctr5cts from the appearance and life of handsome linen as starch. 'El- bow grease" Is all that one needs to make the proper kind of linen stiff. It should be ironed damp, to get the filc sheen so characteristic of we'll lauadered linen. If 1t is ironed when 1t is dry or nearly so 1t gets fuzzy.
