MISS MOROSINI MAY RETRENCH.
Miss Giulia Morosini will not be
able to live in the same luxurious
style she affected when, about two
years ago, she calmly informed an In

reported that the fortune he left was

TO GIRLS WHO SING.

Harper's Bazaar persuaded Mary
Garden, the great singer Of the Man
haitian Opera Company, to write an
article for girls who sing. Miss Gar
den says among other things:
II say to girls who come to me for
advice, face the situation squarely and
know that there is no end to your
work So long as an artist is actively
engaged in her art she must still be
learning and working, for there is al
ways something more that one can
learn. And she must be able to dis
cover for herself what she needs for
her own case as she goes ON. Last
summer / studied with vocal teacher
in Paris who, felt, could give me
something that I needed, something
that my voice required, and he did.
But feel that did not get all that
that particular teacher can give, and
so shall go to him again next sum-
mer:
THE vocal student must find the
teacher for her individual needs.
or course, in the very beginning she
must have every possible assurance
that she has selected one who will not
injure her voice, for the world on
both sides of the Atlantic Is full OF
teachers who not only hold out false
inducements and promises, but actual
ly injure and even ruin a voice by in
correct methods. But even among the
legitimate teachers there is differ
ence, and the individual voice requires
certain amount of individual treat
ment. What I mean is that an organ
correctly used for its own kind is not
necessarily used in precisely the same
way as another voice of different
kind. There is not just one way that
is the right way for every one, as
some enthusiasts insist"

The Long Hat PIN.

Ine Long NAT E1n.
Some of the women who wear pro-
Jecting hat pins doubtless still con-
slider the agitation against them a
joke.
Albert Putnam, a street railway
conductor in Springfield. Mass,
doesn't think it joke. While he was
collecting fares one day last week a
woman passenger turned her head,
quickly and drove the point of her
eighteen-inch pin clean through his
ear. One woman at least in Chicago
has had an eye put out by such a
pin under just such circumstances.
"A sudden movement of the weaver of
the pin, sudden jerk of the street
car or elevator and the damage is
done.
People take greater risks every
day of their lives from other things
than hat pins. But that isn't the
point. The hat pin risk is stupid,
needless and reckless 1t imperils
eyes, and one single human eye is
worth more than all the dagger hat
pins in the world.
No woman with any regard for
other peoples rights would wear one.
No woman who does wear one is en-
titled to any complaint il the city
finds a good legal means of stopping
her.-Chicago Record Herald

PRoBIlEMs OF LOVE AND MAR

+
RAGE.
The time was when woman knew
so little Of business, and was, In adj
dition, supposed to have mind so in
capable Of grasping its details, that a
man rarely thought of talking over
business matters with her. Such
things were supposed to be outside Of
her realm.
But this conditions has changed.
Women have shown today that they
are quite capable Of mastering bust
ness. Indeed, in some lines they are
proving better than men, So that this
objection is largely removed.
But this does not decide the ques-
ton however, whether it is wise for
man to consult his wife about his
business affairs. For this is an indi-
vidual matter and the rule that APP
plies generally will not always hold
good for the individual case.
Despite the fact that there is host
of successful women in almost all
lines Of business, there is still the
woman who knows almost nothing
about business and is incapable OF
grasping its details or absolutely in
different to them. The man who is
married to this sort of woman will find
1t of little use to talk over his bust
ness affairs with her. She could not
give him advice or suggestions that
would be Of any value. All she cares
about his business, as rule, is that
it. shall make enough money for him
to be able to crafty her needs and
wilkins.
Again. some women there are who
might be capable of giving good,
sound, helpful suggestions, yet who
would be really incapable of keeping
their husbands business matters sec
ret. 1t would be impossible for them
not to tell at least something of them
to their best friend, If to nobody else.
This might do no harm and again it
might The man with wife of this
sort needs to be careful as to how he
consnlts her about his business.
Again, man, especially IL he is en-
ployed by another, may not be at lib
erty to tell business affairs, no matter
how much he may desire his wife's
help and advice.
But when a man has a practical,
sensible woman for wife who has
good business head and can keep
sacret if necessary, he is wise indeed
to share all his business plans with
her. Such woman can be most help
full. @
Not only are two heads better than
one, but woman has an entirely diff
ferent viewpoint Of life and the world
from a mans. She can tell him things
and give him ideas of which he knows
nothing. She speaks from a realm OF
which he has no cognizance. A woman,
too, has head for details, for econo-
my, for little things that seem too
trifiing to man often to consider, yet
which may be the very things that
will count most for his success. All
her training for generations has been
in this, direction and these things
come to her almost intuitively.
ne rISHL klHu Ol O "OmoA Se>n DO -
the utmost help to man in his busd-
ness. And it adds much to the happi-
ness Of wife of this sort to be con-
suited. She feels that they are indeed
partners. She rejoices in being OF
help to him in this field. in being con-
sidered as his equal in such matters.
1t makes her feel more truly help
meet, and the more true woman can
be of service to her husband, the hap
pier she is.--Barbara Boyd in the New
York Herald.
