"A VOICE, SOFT AND LOW"
~

A sweet voice is a powerful feminine
charm. One also admires ne mascu-
line voices which are sonorous and
full.
We should, therefore, be careful of
this organ which nature has bestowed
upon us and improve 1t. If possible.
Coarse, shrill and harsh voices may be
softened by care and study. A woman
with a peacock voice can Ever charm.
Speak in a low voice, but distinctly.
Loud speaking denotes ill-breeding. and
sometimes shows a domineering spirit.
Many people drown the voices of 9TH
ers In a discussion that they may them
selves attract the more attention. To
keep the voice at a proper tone, never
call from one end of the room to an
other. nor from upstairs down, nor at
any distance where it becomes neces-
sary for one to shout with all his might,
as this coarsens and roughens the
voice and in time ruins 1t.

Love VERSUS Money.

Dear MISS POINTER:
Although much older than any of
your writers, 1 come to you for advice.
What l want to know is can a man of
30 love a woman As. 1 am a widow,
considered very good-looking and don't
look over 80. 1 have a good business
and q nice bank account. Can a man
SO much younger love me for myself or
for my money? Trusting you will an
swer, I remain, f. ]. M.
Women of As, who have taken advan-
tage of the years to grow in worlanly
graces. are often far more attractive
than their younger and more frivolous
sisters, and can easily win the love of
a younger man. but the question is, can
they keep it? Remember that when
o are so, an age which we generally
consider "old" for a woman, this man
will be As, in the prime of his manhood.
Do o think you will then be able to
keep his thoughts and attentions from
s%traying to younger women, while you
are home in front of the mirror, striv-
ing, I venture to say in vain. to. hide
the ravages of age.
You say you are considered very
pretty and don't look over IS. Prob
ably you are of the type that stays
young up to a certain period and then
takes rapid strides forward. as if ma

WOMAN MAYOR PRESlDES
AT COUNCIL MEETING.

HUNNEWELL, Kan, July Sat last
the City Council has met with Mrs.
Ella VIII, n, as mayor. 1t Is h first
regular meeting the aldermen have at
tended since a woman vas elected
mayor on April l.
The meeting Monday night could
hardly be called a victory for the
mayor. But two pieces of official busi-
ness were transacted. The resignation
of Alderman w. L. Lewis was accepted
and a resolution providing for repairing
the town pump was adopted.
Every appointment the mayor asked
the council to confirm was turned
down. Mrs. Wilson first proposed he
name of Mrs. e. R. Hilton for city
clerk. The councilmen smiled, nodded
approval and then refused unanimously
to confirm.
When the Mayor named Robert Boyer
for city marshal. Alderman j. F. Rich
ardson said: I'VE don't need a mar
shal. There will be no arrests here
The mayor then said she would see
that there wal a marshal and that he
would find something to do.
Finally 1t was moved and seconded
that the council adjourn. Without
waiting for q vote Mrs. Wilson declared
the meeting adjourned. but the alder
men did not move
What are you waiting for7" she de-
manded.
The question brought a laugh from
the council, n then some one ex-
planned that 1t was the mayors duty to
take a vote on the motion.

please state how I a make II. My
hair is growing very white. A short
time ago 1t was a ery vi brown. II

help me by giving me your good ad-
vice. OLIVE.
Yes, a solution of sage and green tea

boiling water over the mixture. set
over a slow fire and let 1t simmer
until the quantity is reduced to two

PARIS WOMEN DRESS MAD,
DECLARES NEW YORKER.

NEW YORK. July 5.X"rhe women
Of Paris are dress mad" declares
Charles c. Thurman. a New York MILL
ner. who came home yesterday on the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. Among
them is great competition as to who
Will wear the newest gowns. Every
woman wants to be first at the races
with a new gown. There Is great ex-
trayagance In Paris among the dressy
rich.
Partisan women who consider them
selves smart dress from eight to ten
times during the twenty-four hours.
First, In the morning, they dress for
riding In the Bols de Boulogne; second,
they dress for breakfast; third, they
dress for shopping; fourth, they dress
for a walk in the Avenue des Acacias;
fifth, they dess for luncheon, which
they take at the Chateau Madri-.; sixth,
they dress for the races; seventh, they
dress for tea at the Pre- Catelain;
eighth, they dress for dinner at Ar
m%onyville; ninth, they dress for the
Viennese opera or for the English les
Bains, a miniature Monte Carlo; tenth.
they dress for supper, which fashion
able Paris now takes at the Cafe de
Paris, and eleventh. II you please.
they change for bed.
THE average cost of these gowns is
$3.50. Ten different gowns would cost
for one day alone 81, 800.
Now. figuring that seldom do these
women wear the same gown more than
one a week, those in the swim would
have to have sixty gowns.
There is a craze for fringes on
everything-dresses, hats, handbags,
parasols' and every article a woman
wears and carries. Paris Is fringe
crazy"

Summer Outing Hats


DRoBABLY there is n other article of womans attire that expresses the
care-frees spirit of summers so comp etey as does the outing hat and some
- late models Of this kind are especially Arcadan in effect. The felt hat

gray, with a trimming of numerous rim folds of taheta. Much more al
Turing are the big softs sailor shapes that con in all sorts of lovely pale
shades n seem destined by their charms soon to supersede the older style
These hats an be turned up at ne side or manipulated in other way
according to the taste OF the wearera and their decorations are of the simplest
A decided novelty in the way OF trimming is a straight band and fiat bow
of hemp braid Ike that used for the facing. The braids are SO Inc glossy
and pnable that a first glance bows made of them make one think of the
wide brdds SC much used for the adornment of tailored costumes
Panama Manila hatsc come n almost the same big shapes as d. tn felt
and hemp combinations but they are lessfa fascinating, for they have not their
colors, and their trimmings-bands nj bows of black corded ribbon
add little to the feshveness of their appearance. OF course.t they may be quite
az effective when worn by the right woman and With the right costume as

Now. I get four kisses from my
grandpa and four from grandma
one at breakfast, one at luncheon. one
at dinner and one for goodnight "
she said. my husband is as affection
ate as he was before 1 married him,
SO you see I have a basis for my as
sertion.
1T is perfectly splendid to be the
most kissed In Chicago. Any
way. It's a million times better than
being the least kissed. 1t makes me
smile to think OF the different ways I
In kissed. Grandpa brushes my face
with his whiskers, grandma is very
prim and takes great pains that she
makes no noise. Papa hugs me.
Mother kisses my forehead. The lit
tie ones scatter their salutes In a
manner that keeps me washing my
face continually. My aunties merely
peck my lips. bird-like."
