Good
form
The Well Dred Voice.
One of thn elementary lnws of good
annnncrK prescribed tbnt wc shall prnc
tlce self coutrol, says riorcucc Uorre
Unll. Cultivated society Roes a step
further and (li'iitpmls of uh personal
refinement. Americans understand this
very well so far ns dress and out
ward appearance po. There is per
haps no other nation that pays bo
inui-li attention to dress as wo do.
Our countrywomen nre admired In Eu
rope for their well made clothes, ns
well ns for their own pood looks.
Hut when they open their lips to
eperl;. alas, all is chauped! The harsh
jias-al tones Jar most unpleasantly on
the ear. The truth is we do not pay
proper nttention to the way in which
we speak. We do aim at distinctness
of utteranre. and this we usually
achieve. Speech should above all be
Intelligible, and Americans endeavor
nlways to be understood. This is an
excellent thing so far ns it poos, but it
does not po far euoupli. Why should
wc be more slovenly iu speech than
we are iu dress?
The woman who has her hands man
icured, her hair and face massaged,
but who utterly neglects the cultiva
tion of her voice, has not a proper ap
preciation of values, as the artists say. ,
She should take lessons in singing or
in voice culture, and she should have i
for a test in her boudoir the lines: i
Her volco was ever soft.
Gentle and low, an excellent thing in wo
man, j
When we hear Englishmen or
Frenchmen talk it is evident that they
have a respect and admiration for
their own language. They try to pro
nounce it yo that it will sound well. '
They seem to understand instinctively
that beauty of speech Is as great a
pleasure to the ear as a beautiful ob
ject Is to the eye.
If the American woman is wise she
does not adopt the British peculiarities
of intonation and accent. Nor does she
endeavor to make her vocabulary agree
with that of the English. She under
stands that our eommou language has
developed along different Hues in the
two couutries. "Apothecary" and "law
yer" are old Shakespearian words quite
as good if not better than the modern
British "chemist" and "barrister."
The endeavor to make oneself heard
above the din of traffic and conversa
tion Is in part responsible for our natu
ral harshness of utterance. At an aft
ernoon tea. where the voices of the
women soar higher and higher till they
almost reach the screaming point in
the vain effort to make themselves
heard, the result is disastrous. The
habit of calling up and down stairs, is
also very bad for the voice.
Entertaining Guests.
There are some strict rules Indorsed
b those who know what is "pood
form" and others who do not concern
ing the entertaining of a guest.
A hostess should not accept any in
vitation that does not include her guest,
and she may with propriety (if cards
of invitation are received not including
a guest) let the prospective hostess
know that an invitation is expected.
This can be done by telephone or note,
simply stating that "I have a young
lady (or a man) friend visiting me and
should like a card of invitation for her
(or blin) to your dinner (or ball or what
ever) for such and such a date."
If there are callers who are not
mvnre of the presence of n guest a
hostess may say she has a friend visit
ing; then the caller asks to meet who
ever it may be. An excellent plan and
one generally adopted by those who en
tertain a great deal and arc conse
quently Invited out often is to give an
afternoon "high tea," when simple re
freshments are best form and every
body in the line of acquaintances in
vited to meet "Miss Dash."
In the case of a man guest the men
of the family see that he has a chance
of meiting other men. There may be
an e eiilng arranged as well as "bache
lor" utlairs, where he can 1 delight
fully entertained.
It is good form to Just inform a host
ess when Invitations are received to a
dinner, u -unl party or an affair when
special arrangements are to be neces
sary that one will bring a visiting
guest This in all that Is needed.
If one has a reception or affair of
tiny sort the hostess should see that her
guest of honor, the one that Is visiting
her. uuets every one present if possi
ble If a dance the guest should have
the men brought to her to till her dance
card and the host sees that she Is cared
for In every way.
A. so a hostesb should defer to the
wishes and plans of a guest. There
may be friends the latter wishes to see
that her entertainer Is not acquainted
with.
On Shaking Hands.
The woman who oilers her hand upon
accepting an introduction conveys
thereby a sign of cordial welcome of
the acquaintance, but in formally fash
ionable society none but the hostesses
pursue this course. The inclination of
the head, a smile and a murmur of the
naum coustitute a full recognition of
an introduction in the eyes of many
who regard their bearing as the ex
pression of the best form. Iu a rather
crowded drawing room this tnodo is to
bo commended, but at other times a
woman, whose prerogative it is to take
the initiative on this point, will not
crearly err In almost unvaryingly offer

PROGRESSIVENESS IN
THE VILLAGE OF ELMORE.
Ohio Town of 1,000 Population Making
Giant Strides.
Tha rillapo of Elmore, O., has n pop
ulation of only about a thousand, but
fcas shown Itself to be more progressive
and bettor supplied with public im
provements than many cities of much
larger size, says n writer In the Ameri
can City. About two miles of the
streets an; paved, and a sewer system
totnls more than live miles In length,
and moro than one-third of the resi
dences are connected with It.
The town nlso lias n municipal ckv
trie light plant and n scmlmunlclpal
water system. Some years ago an ef-
EIiMOIsn'9 MKW W ATE II TCMP.
fort was made to bond the city to con
struct waterworks, but tlds was voted
down by the citizens, and following
this the council granted a franchise U
the National company of South Iieud.
Iud., to construct a waterworks plant
unrt lease It to the village. An injunc
tion was sought to restrain the council
from operating the plant under a lease,
but its right to do so was sustained by
the supreme court, and the plant Is
now being leased from the construct
ing company and operated by the vll
lage.
More recently the voters almost unan
imously consented to bonding the vil
la go for an electric light plant, and thl
plant has now been completed. Cur
rent Is not generated by the village,
but Is purchased from the Toledo, Port
Clinton and Lakeside railway and dis
tributed by it.
The village is unusually mall to be
provided with all these improvements,
but the illustration shows that the
pumping plant and building, water
tank, etc., are of creditable neatness,
design and substantial construction.
BILLBOARDS ARE DOOMED.
There should be general rejoicing
over the sweeping decision of the su
preme court of Missouri to the effect
that cities may not only regulate the
size and conditions of billboards, but
may even legislate them out of exist
ence altogether. This form of adver
tising, says the court specifically, "may
not only be regulated and controlled,
but may be entirely suppressed for the
public good under the police power of
the state."
Obviously th(? chief importance of
this decision Is that it brings the sub
ject of billboards well within the po
lice power of the state. Incidentally It
establishes the constitutionality of the
regulatory ordinance which St. Louis
passed some sLx years ago. Since the
court has indicated so clearly its will
ingness to consider total abolition of
billboards it is probable that we shall
hear further from Missouri on that
matter. Three or four more decisions
of that sort will have the billboards on
the run.
Another matter of interest in tliW
connection is the signing of the Oriu
rod bill by Governor Dlx of New York.
This authorizes auy one to remove or
destroy advertisements on public high
ways. Any one who places an adver
tisement "on auy stone, tree, fence,
stump, pole, mlleboard, milestone, d-iu-ger
sign, danger signal, guide sign,
puidepost, billboard, building or other
structure within the limits of ti public
highway Is guilty of a misdemeanor."
in Massachusetts, where a similar
law is in force, the motorists have tak
en a lively luterest iu clearing the high
ways of the illegal signs. Of course
the law does not touch a billboard
which is placed ten feet back on pri
vate property. The Missouri method
is the only way by which that one cau
be reached. Chicago Evening Post.

HINTS FOR THE
BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Chair For Moving Invalids
Up and Down Stairs.
Most Invalids' chairs are of a cum
bersome tyie. nnd when the occupant
Is to bo transported up and down
stairs ho and the chair must bo car
ried separately. A New York man
has designed a chair which Is not only
much lighter than the nvcrape, but has
appliances to assist In moving it up
and down stairs. The front legs of
this chair nre equipped with casters,
and the short back legs nre mounted
on wheels. The back rises into two
curved handles, and a pair of supple
mental handles are pivoted to the rear
legs. Ordinarily these supplemental
handles are fastened In n vertical po
sition, but when the invalid Is to bo
taken from one floor to another they
are let down In a horizontal position
nnd held firmly there by catches on the
front legs of the chair. This provides
supporting means at both back and
front and greatly facilitates the trans
portation of the chair.
Cannclon of Beef.
Two pounds lean beef, cut from the
round; one-half tenspoonful grated
lemon rind, one-quarter tcaspoonful
ground nutmeg, one tcaspoonful salt,
one-quarter teaspoonful popper, one
egg, one-half teaspoonful onion juice,
two tablespoonfuls melted butter, one
tablespoonful finely chopped parsley.
Grind the beef and mix well with the
other Ingredients. Shape In a roll
about six Inches In length, place on a
rack In dripping pan, sear and bake
In a slow oven thirty minutes. Baste
every five minutes, first with water
and later with dripping. Servo with
brown mushroom sauce.

These are Improved by the addition
of a few currants or raisins. "When
done dampen tbo tops slightly nnd
sift on some powdered sugar.
Kitchen Notes.
If new cake tins are put on top of
the stove until they have a bluish col
or, but not until they become burned,
cake will not stick to them during the
baking, as It usually does to now tins.
If you would securely seal an en
velope use n little white of egg. An

water is never used with a pattern on
