a good thing for women to have their throats hardened to the weather, such as this exposure gives. Laryngitis and in fiammation of the throat of every kind is avoided by this very sensible style and it is blessing to them, for who likes to hear woman croaking around, with a bad sore throat, for youth is indicated in the quality of a woman's voice as we'll as in her figure, and in her face. A singer, for example, is congratulated when she is the possessor of a young voice; fo: such voice, vibrant and clear, expresses the radiant health that should belong to youth. A croaking voice. husky voice, a strained or sibiant voice. all induced by an inflamed throat, suggest the cracked voice of old age, lacking timbre and sweetness and beauty. A woman's voice should not be roughened any more than her complexion, and so the low-necz gown answers not only the purpose of looking well-of becoming-but of being sensible and healthy, and that is what fashions should aim att

Old Tent Would Aid Him
Hezzz5yo,s Ks,zaySd

Have any of your readers an old tent they no longer need? My boy of 15 is sui fering with an infected throat as a result of scarlet fever and has been ordered by the doctor to sleep out of doors l can not afford to buy tent and I am the mother of five children and my husband earns only a small salary. I hope l am not asking too much. MRS. M. A."
 Al. intelligent readers are familiar. by now, with the signal advantages of sleep ing in the open air for persons affected with diseases of the throat and lungs. Also that sleeping in tents and on porches sometimes works marvellous cures with sufferers from nervousness, insomnia, etc. If there be a spare tent in the gift of the constituency, may we not expect that it will be sent to this anxious mother? l hold her name and address.

fancy 'uppers' that you see on their feet. Some are passing-some have come to stay. Long earrings, I am pleased to say, seem to be moving on. Isn't it queer why long earrings make a woman-any woman--look like an adventuress?"
 Why, indeed?" asked the listener.
 T don't know, I'm sure,' echoed the mere man, unless long earrings are sug- gestive of the east; the Orient-India; and when the western woman adorns herself after the manner of the orientalist she at once becomes bizarre. Strangely
 enough, the fad of wearing large brilliant beads does not make a woman look Ori- ental, or even Bohemian-like long ear- rings.
 "Even when it comes to the way women walk" he went on, they have affected certain poses, like the Castle stride.' for instance. That is an eccentricity that has caught on wonderfully, but don't be- lieve it will ever be popular-at least not long. Then, there are high heels. Cu- rious, isn't 1t, that not even the pretty fancy tops to high shoes have had the power to lower the outrageous height of the heels? High heels will never allow women to walk gracefully, and they sug- gest strangely muscular developments in women's legs. Oh, yes they do; no use to deny it. What with the wide skirts now in vogue the kind that make mature middle-aged women look like school girls put old heads and bodies on young legs, so to speak, not to mention the vanish ing tight skirts that revealed the limbs even more fully, students of anatomy have opportunity to study muscles, and there are distinct results from wearing high heeled shoes manifest in the muscles of feminine folk as far as limbs are con- cerned.
 And, as for low-neck gowns on the street.-the open throat" he went on,
 wound up like a music box, 'Tm glad to say that style has my approval and I
 hope those high-boned fearful looking col lars will never again come into style. It s

About the "Planchette"

Several months ago there appeared in your Corner an inquiry as to what IS the motive power of 'Planchette.' have wa tened for an answer but none as get has been printed. The subject is of much interest to many besides myself, I believe, and I should like to see 1t discussed.
 HI" having appeared in the Corner. I agree with you, however in thinking the sub ject interesting. By way of opening the proposed discussion, may l say that years ago I took hand" in the investigation of the aforesaid motive power" and reached conclusion satisfactory to my own mind, whatever others may think Of it. I believe that the small instrument IS moved by the action of "the subconscious mind of the operator, who believes him self to be merely the instrument of viewless agency. Nerves and muscles are tho servants of this subconscious action. To each question addressed to Planchette the one whose hand is upon it and ap- parently utterly impass.ve, instinctively forms a mental reply and without his vo- lition, the magnetic current no man has yet comprehended or defined. leaps along nerves and muscles to stir the delicate mechanism into action. It is another form of the mysterious thought transfer ence'' which his a more powerful mani- fiesta ton in hyphotism and cognate sciences. Table tipping and rapping are, to my way of thinking, referable to the same. Numerous and careful experi- ments continued through term of years. have confirmed the belief. I wish our constituents would confer upon the sub- feet and let us have their individual con clrsions.
