The Etiquette of Cards RULES GOVERNING THE USE
 OF VISITING CARDS
When, Where, For Whom to
 Leave Them

'" A SIX me anything you like" said
 "A Mrs Wright cordially to friend who had been puzzled over some points of etiquette
 You are very good to help me" said Mrs. Howe. After living out of town for some time as l have done one gets out of touch with many things.
 Tn town or out of town there are al ways certain accounts to be kept with society,"" answered Mrs. Wright. Tn smaller towns and country neighbor- hoods the same general duties should be done l don't mean to call them duties only. They should be pleasures.
 But with my children to think of, l have neglected social duties or pleas ures,' pleaded Mrs Howe
 That IS a natural and frequent ex- cuse,' said her friend, but it is not al together fair to your husband or your self to neglect society, and not fair to seem indifferent to your friends. Then you must remember that you have two girls. They should give you a new in terest in social life"
 But they are children" exclaimed the young mother in surprise.
 Keep in Touch for tho Children
 They will not always be children. They will be grown up before you real ize it. While they are growing up you must not drift away from social inter ests or customs. You must stay bright and young for the sake of your husband, children, friends and society in general" {"
 You are right am going to try to f0fl0,,, axyar,nIa cold Mrc gayly. Then she added, If my girls have as good manners when they grow up as your Rosamond, shall be happy"
 'I did not intend to draw down so much fattery on my head or on Rosa mond's," said Mrs Wright, laughing. Then she continued conidingly:, Rosa mond's coming out this winter has been a joy instead of a task, because l have tried always to keep in touch with so- ciety and its ways A girls coming out brings up all sorts of matters for dis cussion, and one needs to be prepared with information"
 q see that you are having very busy winter" said Mrs. Howe.
 "Yes, a busy and delightful winter i; and now that you tell me you want my suggestions l shall have another pleas ure Is there not something you want to discuss?"
 "Yes; it seems to me that one of the most important things is the etiquette of cards. It is strange that bit Of pasteboard means so much, isn't 1t !' The Importance of Cards
 Not when you think that cards help to unite society. We could never pay off our social debts, or even remind people of our existence, without these useful little bits of pastcboard Cards are very often, too, the expressions of kindliness, sympathy or congratulation After all, there IS cornmon-sense req son about the use of visiting cards, as in most social matters Leaving cards is step toward renewing friendships. forming or enlarging ones circle of friends If one does not follow the pre- scribed rules 1t is sure step in tue wrong direction"

consider that the latter stage requires a certain amount of dignity in costume 1; this does not mean that one must dress "old," but there should be an importance to the design and trimmings that is not essential for youth.
 A young girl may wear an absolutely plain shirt-waist, for instance. with turped-down collar and turned-back cuffs, but for the woman of forty, or over, this garment would be entirely un- suitable Even the plain plaited shirt waist with standing linen collar, that looks trim and smart on a younger woman, seems in some way out of keep ing with the dignity imparted by added years.

to leave her home and enter upon an expensive course of training upon the chance of obtaining some day a posi- ton to sing small roles in some small opera house? And if the family of such a girl must make great sacrifices in order to make the training and the trip abroad possible, is it worth the cost?

Learn Patience

IN the years that I have been living and singing in America 1 have be- come very much interested in the Amer ican girl and in her life, which, as you must know, is very different from that ot the young girls of Germany. For America, Of course. gives a liberty and opportunity for development of all kinds that girls do not have in Europe. And as the mother of girl. who is growing up and receiving her education in your country as well as in mine, 1 have, per haps, thought about the matter more seriously than a woman who is not a mother.
 Especially have I had opportunity to know the girl with voice and in many cases to know also the home conditions that surround her. Like other singers before the public, receive all the time requests to try voices and often to as sist young singers. Yet I find it is seldom that the truth is appreciated when 1t is unfavorable either as to the voice or the singers method of using it It~is sad, of course, when a girl who loves music has not the voice to express what she appreciates, and the truth is not always easy to tell. But there is only one way to start right, and that IS to find out the truth at once and ac= cept 1t.
 But how many girls are willing to consider filling second or third place in the singing world? All must dream of becoming, some day, Brunhilde or Lucia-depending upon the character Of the voice. Yet a great voice, after all IS an accident, a piece of good fortune which IS no more to its possessors credit than the inheritance of great wealth. It is the use she makes of her gift that is the singers part.
 Voice Not Everything
 The question is if she has the mind of musician, the intelligence, the courage. the, persistence and self-sacrifce to make of herself great artist. And one thing l am convinced of: the result de pends more upon the pupil than upon the teacher It IS true that voices have been ruined by incorrect methods, but l believe that great deal more than half depends upon the pupil
 IL seems to me that the American girl has much to help and little to hinder her in her chosen work or art. The American girl has great ability to do the thing she starts out in life to do. and think tfht almost all the girls in America want to do something. 4 girl may not need to support herself, she may not even have great talent, yet she will often desire to do some work rather than to remain in her home
 Useless Sacrifices fer Ambition
 There is much to admire in this i'm pulse to work. but also there is a side to 1t that seems to me sad l mean the so often useless sacrifices made by fam ilies, sometimes even by the husband of the young woman with a voice, to pay for its education and training. Is 1t not better that the girl~with a sweet, but not extraordinary, voice should study enough so that she may sing in her home and for her friends, rather than

success lies in her mistaken desire to do the thing too quickly, to make what you call the short eut" It is true that in Germany there has been tendency more in the past than at present-to hold back for too long time the young singer. Yet the routine and discipline of a foreign opera house, with the op- portunity 1t gives of acquiring roper toire, seems to me essential

How should l let my friends know that have come back to town to live? asked Mrs Howe
 You should call on all friends and former visiting acquaintances and leave your cards with your new address. In large cities where distances are great and visiting is not easy, many persons simplify matters by having tea or a series of teas and sending out cards to that effect. This shows ones friends that one remembers them and wishes to sec them, and they generally respond by calling on one of the days; but after a prolonged absence 1t would seem more courteous to call on your list Of ac- quain:ances,. even though you send out cards later for some special event. Everyone should try to make at least one call during the year on friends and acquaintances."
 "BeforesI forget it please explain what is meant by leaving cards?'
 Leaving oaYds
 Remember always that a card is a re- miader of your cali and your address One leaves a card whether the hostess is at home or not You may leave a card on the hail table when entering the house or when going away. You may lay q card down unobtrusively on any convenient table. If you are told at the front door that Mrs. B is not at home you may leare your card with the person who opens the door. Of course, one must never under any circumstances give ODe's card fC, inc nersOn on whom one is calling"
 About my husbands cards-what is the custom?' asked Mrs. Howe
 "A man IS not supposed to have leis- ure for making calls. His wife leaves his cards with her own when making a first call of the season and when calling m acknowledgment of invitations The general rule to remember Is that a woman leaves one of her cards for each lady in family, and one Of her hus

An Effective Costume

Because one is stout and has reached the happy and kindly middle distance in life, 1t is not necessary 10 deny oneself the small though insistent fads of fash ion. The suspender waist and the un- der-blouse or guinpe, both rather frivo- lous details of the costume, may be adapted to the use of the woman who IS fair and forty, if she will only bear in mind the idea of dignity.
 The waist shown presents the bretellc feature embodied in the over-blouse, that is, however, given a distinctive touch by the use of the small vest pieces at the front, which should have small fancy buttons by way of decora- ton for the simulated or actual closing The same buttons, with silk cord or cotton cable cord covered with the waist material, trim the slashed opening through which the lace underblouse IS visible at the shoulders.
 The skirt has two side-plaits at each side of the centre-front, forming what IS known as an inverted double box plait, and the same arrangement IS re- peated at the centre-back; the skirt has nine gores, and flares smartly about the feet Silk or satin will develop nicely by this design, though, perhaps, woolen goods will be even better. Lansdowne IS an especially suitable material, or

several possible reasons the singer does not fairly represent herself, persons hearing her, perhaps for the only time in the season, will leave the house feel ing that she is not worthy of her repu- tation They will express this opinion, perhaps write it to the papers These things are inevitable. They must be passed over, counted up in the balance of gain and loss. If the singer loves her art they will not disturb her peace, but she must not expect that they will not occur.
 But once she has reached the pro hciency in her art which will enable her to sing the great, noble roles of Wagner, the beautiful music of Mozart and of Verdi, a great happiness IS hers. It is a joy to use her voice, joy to work over the conception of great composer and to carry 1t out so that the part lives in her.
 Rewards of Work
 And after study and the mastery of technique have made musical expression second nature, there is the wonderful thrill that comes when one is swayed by the inspiration that comes with the ac- tual performance. And most of all is it happiness to feel that those who care for you and for your art are pleased.
 A singer frequently has not time to send answers to the kind letters that are sent to her The demands upon her time and strength are so many; but she cares for every bit of appreciation that comes to her.
 Home Life Greatest Thing in the World
 I find that the girl who desires to be- come an opera singer often feels as ii the life of her profession were every thing But to live 50 would be to live but half of life. For, after all, away from the work and excitement and ap- plause of the opera house, there is home and the real life. And the woman whose heart is only in her success, how ever great that may be, will not find real happiness in this world.

LEHIGH ROADS PROTEST
Viii Test Validity of Interstate
Commerce Orders on Bookkeeping.

In a letter TO the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has en-
tered formal protest against the commissions or
ders prescribing classification of expenditures for
additions and betterments and form OF general
balance sheet The orders were issued on June a.
to go into effect July 1.
The company says that the system of accounting
ordered by the commission is essentially theoretical
practical; that 1t will create in the minds OF
stockholders erroneous impression of the com
pany's financial condition, and that II will mislead
the public generally TO the cost of service per-
formed by the carriers and as 20 the reasonabeness
of transportation charges.
The board of directors of the Lehigh Valley dis
cussed the matter at a recent meeting and d.
rected the protest to be filed. The company states
that its compliance with the orders is not to be
construed evidence that IL comedies their validity
approves of the methods of accounting which
they prescribe. The authority of the commission.
under the law. TO prescribe the precise manner in
which such matters should be handled is seriously
questioned by the directors. and the letter of pro-
test states that the right test the validity OF the
orders by legal procedure is reserved.
The letter to the commission, signed by President
E B. Thomas. says:
