woman,s Voice.

when the day of woman's rights
has fully come said man with the
voice of Stentor "she may insist up
on singing bass and baritone and
leave the soprano and contralto parts
of music to be executed by the mas
culine portion of the community"
"Why?" he was asked.
We'll. this is the inference | draw
from little incident that happened at
womans suffrage meeting recently
attended: The meeting was opened
by q worthy woman. WHO started to
read some resolutions. bur as the noise
from the street almost drowned her
strong voice abe requested that the
windows at the rear OF the room be
closed. Instead of carrying out her
wish l volunteered to read the resolu-
ton for her.
No. she replied. I have got as
strong voice as you have! Excuse
me- she added. II speak roughly but
the assumption OF man that he has a
voice that can reach further than q
woman's is-is-well, 1t is one of tho
assumptions, that's all"

NEcKTlEs WORN IN GERMANY
One Of Sigma Of Times in kaiser's Em-
Flre-Man Should Be on Lookout
for What Is Most Beautiful.

Berlin.-Among the signs OF pros
perity which have marked the Ger
mans OF recent years is the new and
increasing attention devoted to the
subject OF neckties A Teutonic philo-
sopher on clothes writes about the
matter with the earnestness and pro
fundity which distinguish his couE-
trymen In all branches of scientific re-
search.
He does not go SO far as to define
man as necktie-wearing animal. but
no shallow power OF observation is In
dicated by his remark that while the
very being Of woman seeks expression
In ornament and coloring, man, at
least. for the last hundred years, has
renounced anything that might be con-
sidered loud until his fashion OF cloth
ing himself has become universally
monotonous with one exception-the
necktie.
On this he exhausts all his fancy,
displays all his taste and either ac-
quires the silent appreciation of his
fellow-mortals or exposes himself to
their satire and condemnation. The
necktie question then, being one of
the first importance, it is we'll to bear
reyerently the conclusions the Teu-
tonic investigator arrives at; all the
more as they will be found in tho
main correct.
First Of all, as there are no canons
of taste binding on all mankind in the
matter every man must choose his
neckties on his own responsibility He
viii do well, says the philosopher, not
to rely, as many men do, on the way of
even very pretty girl behind the
necktie counter nor will he be guided
in his choice by mother. sister or
fiancee, for as is shrewdly remarked.
they will be likely to take their own
scheme and standard of dress, not his.
Again, man should not buy a.
necktie merely because he wants one
He should always be on the lookout
for what is beautiful in this line, and
having seized the opportunity and
purchased 1t, should add 1t to his col
lection. The material should be first
class, and one should wear a different
tie every day. The final injunction
is that the necktie should harmonic
with the clothes, that it should b8
carefully tied so as not to look like
rope around the neck and that it
should not be disfigured by pin.

sweets and turn away from candy.
Don't forget to drink plenty Of wa.

for something to work toward.
Take time to play little at least
once week, II not every day.
Follow up a match head that has

fire.
In looking for leak in a gas pipe
don't strike matches along the pipe,

Water should never be thrown on

To pour oil on smoldering fire is
always reckless thing to do. One

Have hot soup these cold nights

the best of men.
Remember there are none in the

The Thsater and literature.

That the great treasures OF ma
ltional literature are so often found in
the drama arises from the essentially
popular character OF the theater.
Here the picture and the action drive
home the meaning of the words to
people who would be bored If they
had to read the play and thus fur
nish the pictures and action out OF
their imagination. The great Greek
writer's were dramatists, and Dante
called his monumental work the "Di-
vine Comedy" Pope de Vega, whose
name comes first to mind when one
turns to Spanish writing barring Don
Quixote-was dramatist Goethes
great work was Faust; Corneille,
Racine and Moliere are the great
names of French literature. and o.
