It Is proposed by Chairman W- D. Wheelwright of the navigation committee, , who has con ferred with General Manager J. P.

In his report of transportation com mittee affairs for ths year W. A. Mean, the secretary.' stated that he would soon resign, this position, which, h has held tor many years.

When we have such aa opportunity as that of this week we realise with fresh pleasure the posalbllltlee of the human voice. Mme. Schumenn-IIelnk pours forth a glorious flood of sound, thrilling In Its Intensity, exquisite in melody. When we ourselves find vtter snco immediately after, wa are sur prised and pained at the thinness and lnezpresslveness of our speaking voice. - It has long, been held by persons of cosmopolitan acquaintance that Ameri can have the most disagreeable voices of any nationality, and that travelers from this country are readily distin guished abroad by the peculiar hareh ness snd nasal quality of their speech. . This was perhaps mofe generally truo a few years ago than it Is at present The twang of New1 England speech and the flat rasp of the middle west hare been somewhat modified by freer com munication with other parts of the country and commingling with those speaking diffidently. Girls' schools have helped, too, to counteract tbe de fect, by careful training In. vocal exer cises and singing. Tet there Is still a difference which should not sxlst be tween the speech of American women and those of other countries In respect to the tone quality.- . -English lain Itself a language -ot 1 ew Intonations and of hard sounds. . Wher the French slur ovsr the "d's" and "k's" we emphasise them; tbe Germsns bare a soft purring sound In the "oe" and "g" for which English haa no equiva lent. . Italian . and Spanish' are liquid and flowing-, even Chinese has it In flections, but English, although capable of delicate shades of meaning a a writ ten language 1 by nature, of It con struction somewhat hard anduncam promlslng a a spoken tongue. This is largely the reason why singer omit English songs from the repertoire. However. It is also true that our Eng lish can be to a large extent modified In It utterance. Thoae who bad the pleasure of bearing Mrs. Patrick Camp bell and ber excellent English company when they were In Portland must re member with satisfaction tha charming Intonation of their voices and the fresh ness and purity of their tone. - It I something to be recalled with distinct pleasure. These men and women were trained to speak In this wsy; well, then, so may wTmpfove urTrpeectrby" con scious ffort. --- - A a rule, w American women apeak too loudly and pitch tha voice too high, We have not learned to breathe. If we will take thought w may not add to our stature, but we certainly can add to the expansion of the lower lungs. W may learn to throw the vole from the diaphragm Instead of quacking la our throat a The bard, contracted vole Is unpleasant and suggests narrowness of conception and utteranoe. Full over flowing .vitality, and gnerojity ot na ture require for their adequate expres sion a fuller, freer, volo quality. This may be cultivated, and we are not mak ing the most of ourselves until we do consider and practlc It. Suppose we take a aeep Dream ana then repeat with an effort In a variety of ton the following gem or Henry James: "The parts of our speech, the syllables of our words, tb tones of our voice, the ahad of our articulation, are among the moat precious of our familiar tools." Then If husband and children open wide eyes and mouth at our conversa tional gymnastic, let u not mind, but encourage them to make a slmllsr ef fort. . ' It t Aa Idea- for Fair. I am sure many of our readers will welcome a new Idea for a booth at a fair.-for such are few and far between. Tbe Idea 1 a sample and recipe' booth. The various ladle Interested each contribute sample of any eatable which Is her "specialty, such aa tiny cakes,- we pots of marmalade, jelly or preserve, samples : or nidge,- ginger bread or biscuits, or sven small rolls and loaves of fancy bread. - With eeoh sample Is sold the recipe for msklng the aame, and. the two together realise a small nm-ear 10 cents. The money mounts up. and th delighted booth at tendant finds that she haa quit a good ly amount to add to the total, that la If she cares to try this plan. -McCalrs, h Fur Suggestions. A fur toqu should be carefully se lected. If it la th leaat bit too large It ha a heavy, unbecoming appearance, and, further, fur are not universally becoming. For Instance, it require glossy black hair and a clear, fresh, rosy skin to look well in a chinchilla turban. - BaulrreL too. is more becomtn to dark hair, although It looks well with golden hair If the complexion Is bloom ing. Neither chinchilla, squirrel nor other gray furs look well wtth a sallow complexion If they must come near th face. Black lynx I very becoming to a fair akin and. yellow hair. t t l Kitchen Wrinkle. Crackers. If these become limp from long keeping, put them In a paper In warm oven for a few minutes, and they will be quite crisp again. . . . .
