same day of the week. Thus. the 4th
11th. 18th and Goth of every month would
be Wednesday. The LIST, Sth, 18th, I'D
and 18th would be Sunday, and SO on.
Several plans of this character have
been suggested. One of them is to di-
vide the year into quarters of three
months each, the first month in each
quarter containing five weeks, the sec
ond and third four weeks. 1t has also
been suggested that each of tho four
quarters be made to consist of three
months of four weeks each, with an eX-
ira week not included i'll any month at
the end of each quarter These weeks
at the ends of the quarters are 10 re-
ceive appropriate names. The names
suggested are Easter week. Julian week,
Gregorian week and Christmas week. The
second and third of these names are in
honor of julius Caesar. who reformed
the Ca 'endar in the year 4G Il. g.. and
Pope Gregory VIII. who reformed the

new month in tile year, thus giving thir-
teen months of exactly four weeks each.
This would make year of tifty-two
weeks. or 36t days TO keep the average
length of the year correct either of the
two methods already explained could be
adopted II this calendar We're adopted
each of the four quarters of the year
would consist of three months and one
week The first quarter would end with
the first week of April, the second quarter
with the second week OF 'Midyear, the
new month to be inserted between June
and July; the third with the third week
in September and the fourth with the
fourth week i'm December This plan would
give us extremely convenient calendar.
Vt would make the months all equal III

cal system of counting time that could

to do something. but never accomplishing
anything because they have not the
goods
or course. the blasting of an ambition
is a very serious thing, and here comes
in the pathetic part of 1t. Once a person
has made up her mind for the artistic
career, her whole life is put into it. and
when the awakening comes it skaters
health as we'll happiness. Meanwhile
the victims shut their eyes.
II remember a young society girl who
came to Paris and was taking lessons
with one of the most expensive teachers,
saws Miss Perry. ''She had no more voice
than cat. A friend finally went to the
master, and asked him: Why do you per
sist in taking money from girl VINO VIII
have none too much to see her through
life because the cultivation OF her voice
is, as you know. an impoSsibility? The
master replied that he had realized the
situation and had several times tried MS
best to tell the girl in gentle manner
she burst out crying and worked herself
I'D into such Mysteries. concluded the
master that had to tell her that every =
thing was all right, and that she might
make a great success some day.
+
With all this Paris is rather a center
for achievement than for learning.
.Paris-taking it's reputation into con-

Facilities for the complete cultivation
of musical and dramatic art are more adj
yanced in New York today than in Paris.
I refer of course. to American students.
The Paris Conservatoire certainly pro-
duces operate singers who are also
condolences and tragedfennes having Won
derful diction, and being fully equipped
in every way. 1t Is a wonderful ma
foy. t1Jrn ms s..
but 1t is not available for Americans:
While the American will find plenty or
vocal teachers in Paris, she cannot learn
to act; there is no one to teach her. The
vocal tea cheers have neither the facilities
nor the knowledge. Great theatrlcal
artistes exist. but only for themselves:
they are not imparting their knowledge

Some insist that they teach "a Ia Tril-

you to suppress the chin. like the birds,
because the birds have no chins. Some
want yousto sing by pure will force.
Others want you to sing by muscular

told Miss Perry that he had been ep-
preached by an American woman for
lessons.
DO you teach the brick method?'' she
demanded.

puzzled.
You must know the brick method by

This would certainly be 4 great i'm
provement over our present calendar. The
table shows that the first month in each
quarter would begin always OH Sunday,
The second on Wednesday, and the last
month of each quarter on Friday. Janu-
AIRY, April, July. October and December
would have thirty-One days each, the
other months thirty. except that in leap
year June would have thirty-one:
The only serious difficulty with the cal
endar is the fact that Christian nations
might be unwilling to accept system
which provides for days that are not a
part of any week. The regular success
sion of seven-day weeks has continued
uninterrupted since history began. In
fact, il extends backward to a period
long antedating recorded history. 1t is
very doubtful if all ecclesiastical bodies
would consent to such change
In the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, calendar
discussed above the months are not eX-
act mllltiples of the week. \ number or
prominent American scientists, including
such men as Prof Cyril G.. Hopkins,
Prof T. G. Chamberlain, DIR. y. III. Pat
terson and DR. Carlos A. Hesse of Chile
have suggested that the lengths OF the
months be changed so as to make each
month AN exact number of weeks This
is the most interesting suggestion yet
made. If it were adopted. then every
month would begin Sunday, and the
same day of the month, no matter what
