Your mat- ural response may be, we wiil say, 1o the grave and sad. Thea it be- comes necessary to obtain speciai training in the gay, the humorous and songs in other moods. Lack of success with a singer may very easily come from inability to respond to just those moods. It is very important to be versatile, to get into the proper spirit of the things you sing. To do this needs special study, not only of one type, but of all types of songs. Other- wise, with a limit to the kind of things you sing, which at first may prove attractive to the listener will soon become monotonous, I know a great singer of songs in every mood, yet she told me that in, the start only the interpre- tation of sad songs came natural 10 her, Discovering this, her teacher, & celebrated one, took all sad songs away from her, and gave her only the gay and humorous ones to study. From then on she started to develop towards success. The best way to acquire this ver- satility is first te select songs of the mood to which you respond least. In the beginning let those songs be short, simple, but thoroughly in the spirit which you wish to master. Take those of one mood at a time, then, as you progress, take up songs of another mood. But al- ways one mood at a time. You will find by this course that when you grow (o respond to sev- eral moods, response to others will come more easily. Variety is the spice of songs as well as of life. Every Kind of tastc is represent- ed in an audience; there must be something in the program to please everybody. Therefore, the singer must be able to deliver them. There is, however, one type of song that all love, the simple one which speal to the heart, such as “Home, Sweet Home," Annie Laurie,” *Swanee River.” In real- ity (hese are the hardest for any singer, and deserve the most devot- ed care in singing them—the care that means beauty of tone, perfect legato or smoothness and, above all, absolute simplicity and sincere feel- ing, avoiding every trace of exag- gerations or over-sentimentality.

BY ROSETTE Paris, Oct. 11.—Although foreign buyers saw the winter collections some weeks ago and advance Paris models now are being shown in America and other countries, the couturiers’ creations are being put to the real test with the return of Parisiennes from fashionable sum- mer resorts. Generally speaking, tweed for sports or early morning wear i8 favored by the chic Frenchwoman, Top coats are short and mostly man-tailored and some are entire- 1y lined with a flat fur. As a trim- ming, nutria, beaver and astrakan in black, grey and tan are the most popular, ~The jersey de laine dress or three-plece ensemble also shows promise of & great vogus, here. The ensemble consists of a skirt, woolen jumper and sleeveless jacket. The jacket and skirt are more often made of jersey but lightweight tweed and other wool- en materials will 2lso be seen. The newest and most attractive designs for sweaters are reproductions of chevron patterns after English cheviots. Polka-dot designs and checks are good too, and certain larger modern designs appeal to some women. Tweed Hats, Too With her tweeds the Parlslenne will wear a hat made of the same material in the new {rregular cloche shape, simply banded with a groagrain ribbon and rows of stitching on the brim. As an al- ternative the matching felt will also be in the note. Chief among the new accessor- fes is the fiat fur tie, worn inside the suit or coat and knotted like a man’'s muffler. For more dressy wear, the velvet scarf has replaced the crepe de chine square. This generally comes in a patterned ve vet, elther the tartan gr polka-dot d sign. The chic way of wearing these new scarves is wound once around the neck with both ends hanging loosely. * The hip-length fur coat is @ novelty to the Parisienne and one which she seems likely to adopt with great enthusiasm. Flat furs like beaver, caracul, broadtail and shaven lamb in greys and browns seem to lead the way and they are |always shown with a dress of an exactly matching shade. These short fur jack:ts are cut on strict- ly tatlored lines, with straight up- standing collars that button up to the neck and are finished off with a fur-bow or tie of some descrip- tion. Black Broadcioth Practioal Although for afternoon coaws black velvet will find much favor, the couturiers say that the really practical woman will choose black broadcloth. Broadtail and caracul have returned to fashion and s sure to be enthusiastically recefv- | ed. The princess line with a slight flare and the straight-line coat are | both in the fashion but the former {will be exclusively reserved to | more formal clothes. | For her afternoon frock the Parisienne seems to have taken quite a fancy to figured velvets, but she favors the small design on a dark ground rather than the more vivid hues. 8She however will always finciude a crepe satin afternoon frock in her wardrobe, which dress she calls a “passepar- tout.” Lace and Tulle For evening wear, lace for din- ner and informal affairs and tulle for full dress functions are chiefly favored. Couturiers predict that we shall see many evening wraps of lame copied from old Persian designs lined with velvet in con- trast to the all velvet type of gar- ment: Ermine of course is the most sumptuous of evening wraps, but within the reach of a favorea few only. Thev are always lined with velvet and hlack seems to be most favored. As a matter of fact, for every. thing but sports clothes, black s predicted as being the dominating color throughoat the coming win- Will Wear ter—a matter of rejoicing for the Frenchwoman, who never feels quite happy in ecolor for very long.
