The American Girl in Grand Opera Ter Native Abilities Great, But She Must Learn Patience
 By Madame CLEARINGHOUSE
OHANNA3GADSKI
EMetopolitan Opera House. New York

IN the years that I have been living and singing in America 1 have be- come very much interested in the Amer jean girl and in her life, which, as you must know, IS very different from that of the young girls of Germany. For America, of course, gives liberty and opportunity for development of all kinds that girls do not have in Europe. And as the mother of a girl, who is growing up and receiving her education in your country as well as in mine, I have, per haps, thought about the matter more seriously than woman who IS not a mother
 Especially have I had opportunity to know the girl with a voice and in ,many cases to know also the home conditions that surround her. Like other singers before the public, I 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 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 great voice, after all, IS an accident, a piece of good fortune which is no more to its possessor's , credit than. the inheritance of great wealth. It is the use she makes of her gift that IS the singers part.
 vsics No. 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 am convinced of: the result de- bends more upon the pupil than upon the teacher. It is true that voices have been ruined by incorrect methods, but I believe that great deal more than half depends upon the pupil.
 It 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 I think that almost all the girls in America want to do something A 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 for Ambition
 There is much to admire in this inn pulse to work, but also there is a side . to 1t that seems to me sad. I mean the SO often useless sacrifices made by fam ihes, 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 sweet, but not extraordinary, voice should study enough so that she may sing in her home and for her friends, rather than

the artist who would one day sing Briin- hide or Isolde. What do you think when I tell you that the year of my first engagement at the Berlin opera house in my seventeenth year l learned twenty-four roles in four months? If the girl with voice can be. made to face the truth about the life of an opera singer and begin her preparation with her eyes open. there will be fewer sad failures and less unhappiness along the steep road she must travel in order to reach the top, and along which so many fall by the way.
 The life of an opera singer Is one which contains much beauty and hap piness, yet 1t is also life of many difficulties and uncertainties, and first and last of hard work. The singer wfio would enjoy all that her art can give her must be prepared to endure much unavoidable injustice. She must bear cheerful1y conditions which misrepre- sent her, and she must not let any of

thread. Seeding stitch may be em- ployed to fill in these spaces, but the simulated drawn-work, with its open effect, is more novel and attractive It is very simply done, as it is not neces- sary to draw the threads unless the ma terial is very closely woven and very open, filmy effect is desired.
 In that case the outline of the blos- som is first worked in satin-stitch, pad ding the outline first with several layers of running stitch, laid one over the other. then working over the padding with satin,stitch. The threads must then be counted, and those that are to be drawn out cut close to the embroidered outline. While this is particular work, needing to be done carefully, an error Is not irretrievable; slsoald tite wrong thread be draw;,. 1t may be rrn h again

"How should I let my friends know that have come back to town to live p 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 see them, and they generally respond by calling on one of the days; but after 9 prolonged absence 1t would seem more courteous to call on your list Of ac- quaintances, even though you send out Everyone should try to make at least one call during the year On friends and acquaintances.
 @Before I forget it please explain what is meant by leaving cards?"
 Leaving Cards .
 Remember always that a card is re- hinder of your call and your address. One leaves a card whether the hostess is at home Or not. You may leave a card on the hall table when entering the house or when going away. You may lay a card down unobtrusively on any convenient table If you are told at the front door that Mrs. B is not at home, you may leave your card with the person who opens the door. Of course, one must never under any circumstances give ones card to the person 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 mixing a first call of the season and when calling in acknowledgment of invitations. The general rule to remember is that . woman leaves one of her cards for each lady in a family, and one of her hus-

ings are used for the principal filling-in stitches for the centrepiece, for which English lace braid was used, and the same stitch is used in the last centre piece illustrated. This is rather more ornate than any of the others, as the rose in each of the flower groups worked in the linen centre is filled in with Grawn-work.
 The rose outline is worked in satin- stitch and the plain linen so enclosed is ptinctured at regular spaces with carpct-scwing needle or the. point of stilctto, and the groups of threads thus separated are gathered together by overcastins with needle and fine

The Etiquette of Cards RULES GOVERNING THE USE
 OF VISITING CARDS
When, Where, For Whom tr
 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 for some time as I have done one gets out of touch with many things"
 Tn town or out of town there are all ways certain accounts to be kept with society,"" answered Mrs. Wright. ''In smaller towns and country neighbor. hoods the same general duties should be done. I don't mean to call them duties only. They should be pleasures"
 But with my children to think of, have neglected social duties or pleas ures," pleaded Mrs. Howe.
 That Is natural and frequent cx- cuse," said her friend, but 1t IS not all 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 the Children
 They will not always be children. They will be grown up before you real ize 1t. 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 genera" :"
 You are right. I am going to try to follow your example" said Mrs. Howe, gayly. Then she added, 'If my girls have as good manners when they grow up as your Rosamond, shall be happy"
 T did not intend to draw down so much fattery on my head or on Rosa mond's," said Mrs. Wright, laughing. Then she continued confdingly: Rosa mond's coming out this winter has been | a joy instead Of task, because I 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 None needs to be prepared | with information" "I see that you are having a very busy winter" said Mrs. Howe "Yes, a busy and delightful winter i; ! and now that you tell me you want my 1 suggestions I shall have another pleas
 ure. Is there not something you want \ to discuss?"
 Yes; it seems to me that one of the most innportan. things is the etiquette | of cards. It IS strange that a bit of pasteboard means so much, isn't 1t ?"
 The Importance of Cards
 - Mot when you think that cards help ' to unite society. We could never pay 1 off our social debts, or even remind | people of our existence, without these i useful little bits of pasteboard. Cards
 are very often, too, the expressions ot | kindiiness, sympathy or congratulations After ail, there is conmon-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 it is sure step in the
 wrong direction"

consider that the latter stage requires a certain amount of dignity in costume i; 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 turned-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.

Becoming Styles for Middle Age Suiting
 the Peculiarities of the Stout Figure

The Importance of the waist-Line.
 The waist-line is important to any fig ure, but most particularly when the waist has passed the 2o-inch mark great care and discretion must be used. The exaggerated dip" at the front is to be avoided and never, never have dip at the back. A trim, straight line across the centre-back, gradually dropping at the sides until at the centre-front it is about two inches below the natural, straight waist-line, is smart and becoming
 The exaggerated dip that brings the centre front of the belt far >wn on the abdomen, may look fairl. ell at the front view, but from the side 1t is quite ugly, and the side-line that should fit i'll prettily to the curve of the waist is the critical view. The heightened front effect may be much more artistically provided by trimming lines.
 For an outdoor costume a long coat that outlines the figure gracefully, but is semi-htting-not tight-is the proper garment to select The actual length must be determined by ones height and by experiment at the time of fitting, but it should come we'll down over the hips and the French cut with the seams run ming to the shoulder at both front and back is better than the darted front with

Needlework for Household Decoration
BY THE USE OF THE NEW BRAIDs
Beautiful Lace Easily Made

IN the matter of dress trimmings fash
 ion must sometimes plead guilty to the charge of fickleness, but the accusa- ton scarcely applies to the faces that are used for household decoration There are certain novelties introduced from time to time, yet none of them is strong enough to disturb, seriously, the favor of the Renaissance laces-
 Just this much of innovation has af- fected the latter, and that is the use of the flet or square mesh for filling in large spaces, a change that produces greater variety and more striking eff feet This square mesh Is very plainly shown in the tab1e-cover, the first illus tration.
 The open spaces in the scrolls are filled in with bars Romaine and the centre of the seven-pointed flower-iike figure with straight lines crossing at right angles, the thread twisted in working back, and a small wheel or spider worked at each intersection Bars Romaine are worked q second line of the stitches being made across the space at right angles to the first.
 Working Bars Romaine
 2 To work it, fasten the thread at one edge of the braid in the space to be filled and carry 1t across to the opposite side, where it should be secured to the braid with buttonholc stitch; make . second bnttonhole stitch in the braid at th- space of about twice the thickness of the thread from the first, and start to carry this second thread back to the starting side. About onequarter of an inch fror:1 the braid make, with the sec ord thread, buttonhole stitch on the first line of thread, making it loose enough to allow two other buttonhole stitches to be made across its loop.
 Make these buttonho!e groups a. epaces of about one-half inch across the first line of thread. Work across the space in this manner, having each doutie line of threads about one-haif inch distant from the next Work arother row of the. bars across the space at tight angles to the f-s., making the Eu.tonhole groups come midway of tlle space be- tween tine rows of the first lines of point <dss 6zpek. and securing fie second row

suitins the Stout Figure
 The so-called shirt-waist costume shown herewith exemplifies the distinc- ton that may be imparted to simple gown by a few comparatively trifllng additions The shirt-waist has three tuck plaits laid at the shoulder at both front and back, but, instead of finishing with a plain collar or stock, the neck is cut into V at the front and small chemisette of lace or tucked lawn fills in ths opening. A turnover collar to which is applied fancy band trimming edges the neck of. the waist, and> the same trimming outlines the frol.t edges, forming vest effect that is always be- coming to figure that is at ali inclined | to stoutness.
 In the same way length is given to the front of the skirt by the triple plaited panel that is judiciously fattened at the top by having the centre panel overlap the two added plaits. A similar neck effect may be introduced into any shirt-waist, and any plain skirt may have the long front lines suggested by making lap seams where the front breadth joins the sides, or by trimming these seams with braid or folds of the same cloth.

curving side-bodies at the back. The curved, cut-away line at the lower front edge is another desirable feature. as 1t avoids cutting the figure by straight line across the front.
 The woman who has made study of the good and bad points of her figure knows all these little wrinkles" be- cause she has made it point to get the very best possible effects in each of her gowns. and 1t is just these small details that make the difference between the smart and the dowdy figure. The coat shown well illustrates the several fea- garment ..
 The skirt with it is a plain, five-gored skirt. but is given certain importance by the applied top facing around the bot tom, the upper edge of the facing being cut in shaped outline, forming tab t1iat laps upward at each seam. The skirt seams and the long French seams at the front and back of the coat will look well II finished with lap seams. and be certain that the seams i'll both gar ments are Tapped in the same direction
 In selecting material for such gown 1t is we'll to bear in mind that rough
