ntetl by n Imby In the house, "N tlint
.v Blvlng nil tills time nml effort I could

inke care of the hnby nnd linvc n geed
Ii'nl left ever besides."
Hut the Imby needed HKlt.
There Is n Blery of Cnvlyle's wire
Hint will touch responsive chords in nt nt
mest every young mother's heart for
Hint mutter, every wife's henrt.
The trent Renins hud been working
lmid te Miip.rt both of them by his
pen.
'I'hey lived nt. n lonely farmhouse
forty miles from nowhere."
One tiny .Mr. Cnrlyle noticed Hint the
hi end delivered by t'he bnher didnsreed
with her huibnnd, nnd flit decided tc
"hake her own." She Icticw nothing
about fermentntleu, nbeut heat of
evens, nheut mixing she followed n
icelpc given in "Cebbctt's Cottage
1-conemy."
Se it Imppencd thnt the bread wn
put in the even nt nbeut the time, te
ue her own words, when she should
hnve been put te bed. One o'clock
truck ; twa ; three : there she was nit
alone, weffry, wntcliful, forlorn and
feeling degraded! Te think thnt nhi.
who hnd been se petted nt home, whose
whims nnd comfort had been studied
by cverjbedy, who had never been per
mitted te de might but cultivate herself
sheu'd npend nil night watching n
leaf of bread! which, nfter ull,
mightn't turn out bread nt nil !
"Somehow." she said later, "I hap
pened te think of. rtenvenute Cellini
Klin up nil night watching his statue
of 'Perseus,' and Middenly I nsked
myself: 'After nil. what is the mighty
difference between a statue of Perseus
and n leaf of bread, fe that each be the
thing one's hand hns found te iieV The
man's will, his energy. Ir.q pntienre,
his resource thee rrn'ly were the nd
inirnhlc thiiifs of whii'li his statue of
Per.seiis was the expression. And if
the sculptor had been u woman, living
with n dyspeptic husbniid nt a. lonesome
farm sixteen miles from n baker, uml
he n bad one, nil these same qualities
would have come out mere fitly In a
geed lenf of bread."
And fnr from degrading herself by
her application te the lowly task, this
i ultlvatcd nnd brllllunt woman s0
i arned the admiration of tin world.
There is many a woman who might
easily move juries who spends laborious
hours with a recalcitrant child; ethers
move tin juries while none could rc
nlnce her ill meulding the character of
her child. 'i
There lire women who reuld shine, Monday "The I'emale Stranger"

fers of the mnn they love nnd inspire
him te win place nnd fnme. And they
hnve net been unrewarded for there
nre few great men but have given credit
te their wives for ntdlng In their
achievements.
Carlyle's wife was n gifted writer;
but nn essay would have been of little
use te ft dyspeptic husband who
wanted geed bread. And, In supplying
this need, Mrs. Carlylc. who was a
critic nnd coworker In his Hlernrv en-
denvers, contributed te the product of
ins genius tieriinps mere than with all
her line ability she could hnve dene in
any ether way.
Se, whether it is taking care of
"baby" or baking bread, there is noth
ing mere worthy than doing whnt it is
up te us te de. The application of the
best in us te a commenplncc glorifies It.
And there Is no greater achievement
than doing one's duty.

HUMAN CURIOS
The Silent Stngrr
Defylmr nil tlie rules of vocal culture,
nnd apparently, tlylnir In the face of all
tlie mandates of medicine, there Is n
peasant woman llvlnu near Xlce who In
acquiring nn almost world-wide reputa
tion ns a "llnder of lest voices."
According te thn testimony of Mme.
Ollleu, it famous French soprano, It was
this peasant woman who taught Clcrley
du Collet, ene of the best-known voice
culturlsts In Kurope, the secret of thn
"silent voice," nnd Collet herself has
had great success with It.
"Collet." Fays Mme. Ollleu. "was
earning her living by Riving lesions In
vecnl culture, when, en account of over
strain, she suddenly lest her voice.
Nothing that she could de. no medicines
or applications which she could use.
appearcil te have any effect. Finally, In
desperation, she went te this old peasant
woman who was said te euro peeple
whose voices were, gene. The Italian
woman made her perferin certain exor exer
cises with the mouth clesud nnd, after
two or tluei! days of this practice.
Collet's velcu began te return. The
vemun could give no explanation of
the development of the voice, but
Madame, du Collet, sensing Its value te
the world, determined te spread the new 11
of the discovery. Its value was recog
nized by the Academy of Science. In
Paris nnd Mme. du Collet was appointed
special teacher of voice production.
"I, for ene, am certainly grateful te
the peasant woman for, nfter Ua!tiK
lest my voice for seven years, I prac

within the year, I could sing again. It
was weird, though, te go through these
silent exercises for months without be

standing about en the little station plat
form watting for the morning train te
tha city could hear.
"'I'-rnld net," ehe snld regretfully.
xpu see, I want my year In the city
unhampered by nny tics. That's really
only fnlr te Aunt Ellen, who has offered
me this wonderful opportunity."
The man's eyes rested longingly en
Sara s sweet face, her trim milt Incem
ing her In splte of Its last season's vin
tage, ner sum hands, ns If trying te
stamp n plcture en Ids memory that
llme would net erase. Something told
him that the snme old Impulsive, quick-
tempered, levnbls Sara would never
come back te Hadleyvllle.
A few minutes Inter Kara sat In the
swiftly speeding train, visualizing what

premising the same social and educa
tional opportunities that were open te
her two daughters, llrtli nnd Kline. And
Sara,- bound te u tiresome round of
duties as underpaid teacher In Iladley Iladley
vllle's small high school, had been only
tee thankful te nccent.
In the cxcltement of going, Kara had
quite forgotten that she had ever enter
tained the thought of marrying her
principal. Hew glad she was new that
she had net, in some moment or dis
couragement, let him see thnt she was
ready te capitulate, lletter no marriage
at mi titan ene contracted as a means of
escane from boredom nnd low wrnres.
Besides might net the matrimonial
chances of a big city be greater than In
lladleyvuieY
In the weeks thnt followed It was
net surprising If Sara's Hadleyvllle ex
istence faded te ft dream. Aunt Kllen ac
cepted Rara as a third daughter, no less.
The girl's days became n round of
gayety, nn orgy of shopping, theatre
going, dance?, dinners. If, underneath,
the lensen for It nil puzzled Sara, she
bad llttle tlme te wonder nbeut It, will
ing te accept what the gods, by way of
Aunt Illlen, bestowed, nnd te nslc no
quostlens.
Hllse and Ueth were morn than cous
inly In their treatment of her and nf nf
fuctlenatelv Included her In the Inter Inter
uilnable discussions concerning their
trousseaus, for both were engaged, lleth
te a rising young financier, Kllse te a
financier already risen.
"It would have broken mamma's
heart," confided Beth one morning as
tUey drove te the milliner's In Beth's
chle electric, "If we had net dtme
well. Between you nnd me, she's some
llttle matchmaker, nnd I think It was
a bit of n blew thnt the Hurl of Dum
fries came nleng after both Kline and I
were engaged."
Beth rattled en. unaware of the effect
et her words upon the girl nt her side.
Sara, saw It nil, new, her aunt's Invi
tation nnd subsequent kindnesses, the
frequent ensual coupling of her name
with tii'e'earl'n, the tendency te send him
out aaqier escort te dinner, the en, n
hundred nnd ene llttle things which hail
meant nothing te her before. Her aunt,
determined te annex the earl te her
family nnd having only two daughters.

te her aunt and beg her te cease her
matchmaking. Aunt r.llen would favor
her with the quiet, reserved stare of
geed breeding, then beg her; In a care
fully modulated voice, net te "be se Im
petuous, my dear, Jumping te rash con
clusions." Yet she couldn't stay en and
ultimately disappoint her aunt's nmbl nmbl
ttens. Net once did It occur te Sara that
ehe might marry that undersized, mils
tnched, high-voiced person with only his
earldom te recommend him. At the very
thought there rose te her mind a plc plc
tueo of the only ether mnn whom she
might hnve wed, ns he steed holding her
hand en the wind-swept station plat
form. I,lke a flash came the Inspiration that
there was the person te help her and
she must get his nsslstance at er.ee ir
she wished te be saved the necessity of
refusing the car!.
That night Sara, by the light of her
rose-shaded reading lamp, penned a
long, explanatory letter, the gist of
which was ns fellows!
"If you'll come nnd sce me I'll pre
tend 1 nm going te marry you and then
I knew Aunt ISllcn will be qulte willing
te let me go bnck home. And is my old

fine addressed the letter te Hadleyvllle.
The following evenlng Aunt Kllen,
with a llttle frown, rame te Sara.
"There's n young man dewnstnlrs who
wishes te see you. He comes from Had
leyvllle." Sara's heart lest a beat. Hew quickly
he had responded! "The the man I ex
pect te marry!" the faltered. Then,
without waiting te see the effect upon
her nunt, she ran down te meet her
rescuer.
And when she saw htm standing
waiting by the fireplace, she fotget her

The next nilnute he held her In his

laughing, wholly Jumbled account of her
nunt nnd the carl, her plan and the let

But It was Beth who summed It up
very neatly. "You're going te give up
