SOUND ADVICE TO
AMERICAN GIRLS
Who Are Contemplating Musical
Education Abroad.

Some sound advice TO American girls
going 20 Europe TO prepare a career
is given by Nine. Johanna Gadski, who
probably is best qualified among the
great prina donnas to offer kindly and
helpful suggestion to aspirants for op-
cratic fame.
IAN American girl who is working for
an operate career" writes Mime. Gadski,
should not venture abroad unless she
be prepared TO stay there from six to
ten years. If possible she should have
her mother or sister with her. II will
keep her from growing homesick, and is
useful in other ways. The candidate for
operate honors must have a strong con-
stitution and be so made up mentally
that discouragements and disappoint-
ments will serve merely as a spur 10
her ambition. II she have beauty of face
and figure, so much the better, but those
are not absolutely essential requirements,
as has been demonstrated time and
again.
THE kind Of a teacher to go to abroad
is an optional consideration, so long as
he is good. You will be able to judge
Of that as soon as he demonstrates his
method. If II is a method that makes you
shrek, shout, grow red in the face, strain
your throat. neck, chest, or abdominal
muscles, then the teacher is not good.
The only correct method teaches you TO
sing always and to produce a we'll
rounded, melllfluous tone, whether you
are singing a Tosu ballad, Provencal
chanson, or the invocation from 'Gotter-
dammerung.
IF you would please your compatriots,
remember always to sing. and never to
force your voice in the mistaken effort
to gain power or sorority. The carrying
quality of a voice does not depend upon
the volume of the sound you emit II
you can combine resonance and quality,
so much the better. but remember, IL you
are aiming to sing in America, that first
and foremost your audiences here love
finished tone productions and easy flow
OF phrase.
But beyond all acquire routine-that
is. intimate knowledge of the roles you
intend to incorporate in your repertoire.
And never stop singing the best songs
OF the great German Lied writer's, for
they are dramas in miniature. and run
the gamut Of human emotions

corkscrewinG money out of them, but
they don't The mother who teaches her
son the beauty of Independence has got
some thoughts on the Independence sub
Iect herself that it wouldn't be pleasant
for her husband to hear.
But IL II is good for a man to be
financially independent, why isn't it good
for a woman? Why not serve the goose
up with a little of that sauce financier
that adds such flavor TO the gander?
The big thing, however, in which the
difference is arbitrarily made between
the goose and the gander is in politics.
The poor old goose has to do just as
much scratching as the gander does.
She lays the eggs and matches out the
little goslings. and mothers them under
her wings when they are little. She
furnishes most Of the feathers that
makes softness for the world. And when
she strays over the fence she gets rocked
good and hard for it. But that's about
all for her. Mr.. Gander says: My dear.
you've done the work. I'll take care OF
mind about them"
So Mr.. Gander makes all the laws
that rule Mrs. Goose. and does the vot-
ing, and fills the Offices. and when Mrs.
Goose ventures so much as a feeble
hiss of protest at the injustice Of this,
he bats her over the head with the
board of conventionality and tells her
to shut up.
CInssed with Criminals.
Now, the human prototype of the goose
pays taxes; she is subject to the laws
Of the country; some 100000 Of her work
for daily wages, and 4 good many other
millions of her are doing an inestimable
service TO the country by maintaining
comfortable homes and raising up
worthy citizens; she fills the schools, and
she furnishes only 10 per cent of the
criminals. and she wants to know why
she isn't just as much entitled to the
ballot as any man. and why she should
be classed with the criminal, the idiot.
and the insane.
II the ballot is the palladium OF a
mans liberty, why isn't it the palladium
of hers? II the man who Pays taxes
| has a right to say what taxes are levied
on his property, why hasn't the woman
| who is also taxed the same right? II
the workingman finds il necessary to
| have a vote to protect his interests, why
| hasn't the workIngwoman?
! II political freedom is good for man,
why isn't it good for woman Why
shouldn't the same governmental sauce
he served up for both the goose and the
Eander?
We pause for n reply.

When Your Hair

A beautiful growth of long. glossy,
and fluffy hair can be had by every
woman-hair of a rich, even color,

to this is that shampooing be INDUCED
in at least once a month. And word
about what to use. Never-no,' never
employ soaps or mixtures containing
free aIkali. because of the disastrous
effects following.
"A dependable and really delightful
shampoo mixture can be made by dis
solving a spoonful OF canthrox in a
cup of hot water. This is enough for
a thorough cleansing of both scalp and
hair. After n canthToX shampoo the
hair dries evenly and quickly and re-
