Nnnxenu Riche Guilty.

The very title OF this article suggests
one of the most discussed topics of the
day.
l do not believe society as a whole Is
so corrupt or contains as much sham as
some picture it. Society is a unit; the
parts depend on one another. One part
suffers because the rest is not right
Therefore We can each know only very
little about the whole of society. Real
culture consists precisely in the power
to find plea sure in simple things. The
coarse and vulgar always have some
thing extraordinary to amuse themselves
and 1 believe there is as much culture
in the society folk as the so-called mid
die class.
No. I do not believe American girls en-
tice men into marriage rather than risk
single life. For to-day when most wom-
en- have had the chance to learn the
fundamental things in life, they can as
rule fit themselves to positions so as
TO maintain themselves comfortably and
not be forced to marriage as a last
straw for livelihood.
As for American mothers neglecting
proper consideration OF their future SON.
in-Iaws. we cannot take them as a whole,
for there are still mothers left. both in
society and out, that do not aim for a
husband for their daughter with the word
rich in capital letters annexed to their
name, so bright that 1t blinds them in
looking for other qualities. That there
are still mothers who look out for their
daughters happiness both in society and
out we must limit. I think II Is the
newly made suddenly rich ones that gen
orally aim that way. We must not Judge
the whole of society by few of the un-
worthy ones in it.

Dear Friends can not tell you

my voice is still defective and halt

in praise of the work of the as
sociation. Your progress rejoices
me, and such progress as | have
made is valuable to me because it
reinforces and proves your work.
1t has always been a JOY to be
able to speak. True, 1t is poor
speech. True, only a few near
friends understand me readily.
Nevertheless, what speech | have
has meant more to me than l can
ever say. NY words are lame and
broken; but they bind me to the
world of men and women. Through
Isolation, silence, darkness, send

tongue began a greater fullness of
life. Before that had been happy
when a f1utter of the fingers opened

word-that mighty, thought quick

and gave me a wider access to the

N Speaker! The marvellous blind
and deaf girl. dumb till now
through her deafness, has not only
learned to talk, but to speak in public.
At the sessions of the American AS
ISOLATION to Promote the Teaching of
Speech in the Deaf, which Just closed in
Providence. r. H. Miss Helen Keller ad-
dressed the delegates twice.
The first day she spoke she delivered
an address of three or four hundred
words. 1t was an expression of exoui-
site sentiment
Through isolation, silence. dark
ness, said Miss Keller. Il send forth
a winged word; it's pinions are Grip
pied but somehow it flies and reaches
another heart"
That sentence along from her speech
told a story of pride and pathos, one
which touched the audience Infinitely.
The next day Miss Keller recited
poem. She chose for her recitation
Henley's Il AM" that breathing of an
indomitable spirit which concludes
thus:
Il am the master of my fate.
| am the Captain of my soul"
There was none in the audience but
who realized that the lines applied with
peculiar force to the blind and deaf girl
who had mastered speech at fearful
odds
Professor J. w White. of the New
England Conservatory of Music, who
has been giving Miss Keller lessons in
speech twice a week all the spring, is
delighted beyond words.
Speech Now Clear.
He has told friends that Miss Keller
speaks so as to be understood though
at first none but Mrs. John Macy,
with whom she lives, could get her
spoken meaning.
For years Miss Keller has conveyed
her thoughts only by the finger talk"
She would tap her sensitive finger tips
on Mrs. Macey's wrist and the latter
would talk back to the girl the same
way.
1t is utterly impossible for Miss
Keller to hear. So the tremendous diff
f1culty of teaching hereto talk is ap-
parent.
The girls vocal organs are sound
and normal. The trouble was that she
did not know how to use them She
did not know how to shape her lips and
how to enunciate. She could make the
vocal sounds, but could not make them
rightly.
Professor White went down to Wren
than twice a week. Sometimes Miss
Keller came to Professor Whites studio
for vocal expression in Boston. The
lessons were pursued patiently. That
is the way she has learned. And she
was pitifully eager to learn to talk
