Not by the words that issue therefrom, but by the shape and color of the lips, and: the lines and dimples that gather iabout this important feature. He is Lsupported in his theory by physiogno~ mists, who all endeavor to impress us with the fact that no woman with the small, red lipped, “Cupid bow," mouth so praised in song and story, was ever intellectual or generous of heart, and it is consoling to those whose mouths are not in.accordance with the lines of beauty laid down by the poets to be told that a “wide, straight mouth, with strong, white teeth,” denotes the woman of superior intelligence, goodness of hear , strength of mind and a {thousand and one other sterling qualtiies which we all like to think we possess. It is the fashion at pre- sent to hold the lips very slightly apart. This is supposed to give that innocent, wistful, wonderful expres- sion which was the peculiar properties of the heroines of old-fashioned novels, but which bicycle riding and kindred amusements have caused to vanish.

For in- stance, one should never allow the throat to become dry. Keep it moist. The hot, dry air of an overheated room is very bad for it, parching it and tending to encourage inflammation. And when out walking or driving it is apt to become dry and hard, in cold as well as in warm weather. Let me give advice. It’s a little thing, and yet effects big results. When you are “Where one voice is injured by ex- posure to cold twenty are hurt by singing when the voice is not in good condition. Even when I’ve had to lose $5,000 by missing a performance I have invariably pocketed the loss for the greater gain, and my voice has out- lasted twice over those who began their career with me.

Be sensible, and preserve a happy medium between wise caution and FOOLISH CODDLIN G. “If there are any special rules by which I have preserved my voice they are pretty well indicated in what I have just said, and in my invariable rule of sparing my voice when it is not in perfect order. There lies the real danger to singers, not in exposure to cold air so much as to singing when nature says “The voice is in need of rest," and when the delicate organ should not be fatigued or even used. “Harden yourself; build up your con- stitution; don't occupy overheated rooms at any time; live out of doors at least for two hours every day, and walk and drive. That’s my advice. Then, don’t be afraid to breathe plenty of good, fresh air, even if the weather is cold.

"Grace,” and the man’s voice was tender and earnest, “I want to speak to you,” Something in his tone made Grace look up and then look down as hastily. “Grace, I love you; can you think of ,‘me a little?” and he took her hand to draw her towards him. She drew it away and moved to the WlndOW without a word. “Grace, you have known me long. Be mine, trust your- self to me.” She turned to him with such a look of pain on her face: “Don't! oh, don’t! Oh, if you had only been different. No, I cannot." “Tell me why, Grace 1" “Don’t ask me more! I thank you, I feel you have honored me, but you hay_e my answer.” Grace came gravely into the parlor where her mother was discussing the war prospects with Mr. Russell.

Why don’t we stop and think, select the most shining goal we can see and strive toward it. Instead of that we are tossed here and there by fashion, hampered by custom, and held back by the strong cords of environment. The thought makes me saddest when I think of our young men. Not so much is expected of us girls, but young men, boasting in their strength, intellect and influence, don’t you think it is. un- worthy of them that they are wind- tossed creatures of chance, bits of waves washed bark on the shores of existence." “Look, who's that 9” The girls both looked out and their eyes followed a dancing team driven by a fair, well-kept man, comfortably seated in the cosy midst of warm fur robes. “Well, Bessie, I've thought of the question much lately, and I’m afraid it is too sadly true," said her compan- ion, as she rose and walked slowly to the window, which in the afternoon light formed a pretty background to her tall, dark, slight figure. “1 really don’t know, Grace, and I’m afraid I'm too thoughtless myself to pass judgment.” Two girls were in a cosy little par- lar spending the afternoon together as bosom girl-friends delight to do. After a thoughtful pause, Grace looked up from the book she held lightly between her fingers and said quietly, “Bessie, do you think what Arnold says of the majority of men is true?
