NEW YORK, Ma Bngland reckoned without his American- born subjects when he gave orders tha péereases had better wear neatly {ncon- spleuous gllt circlets, instead of thelr proper and hereditary coronits, on the occ slon of his coronation. That inborn defer- ence and educated sense of obedience that the native Englishwoman feels for the crown would have induced them to have accepted the royal edict with only a lit- tlo private grumbling. Not so the Amer. fcan peeress. She knows her rights and he has stuck to them.

The mantle to accord with this must be of orimson velvet, but its pure miniver edging can be only four inches wide and the train must be one-fourth of a yard shorter than that of a duchess' robe. In point of elaborate splendor a coun- tess' coronet is the most showy worn by any titled lady. It is like the marchioness’, of silver gilt, chased as jeweled, but sur- mounted by eight silver balls raised upon points, with golden strawberry leaves be- tween the points; a cap of crimson velvet, | turned up with ermine, theron a golden tassel. The ecrimson velvet mantle has only a three-inch edging of pure miniver | and the train goes only a yard and a half | on. the ground, and unless some special BRIDAL GOWN WITH PEARL EMBROIDERED TRAIN, SHORT VEIL AND LOW COIFFURE. British titles gave a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull altogether to get the cor- onet privilege, and In consequence King Edward, who is nothing if not a gallant gentleman, punctiliously considerate of fem- inine feelings, has given way with truly royal grace; 'therefore, when their maj- esties are safely crowned the peeresses will rightfully and proudly assume their proper coronsts. Only Peeresses Wear Coronets. There is a general impression on this slde of the water that all those pretty American women who have wedded Eng- lieb, Irish or Scotch titles will assume the {mpressive head dress on that most im- pressive June day in Westmins- ter Abbey. It is the law, however, that no titled woman ranking below a baroness has &, right to a coronet, and this in con- sequence, limits the number of our vi capped Americans at the Abbey ceremoni; Only two Amerlca for instance, can wear gold coronets. These will be their graces of Marlborough and Manchester, and both these ladies, who were before their marriage Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt and Miss Zimmerman of Cincinnati, will find the proper golden head dress all ready for them, as other duchesses of Marlborough and Manchester have appeared at corona tions. It s true that these coromets have been recently done over, burnished, re- capped and refurred, and It ought to be & comfort to a duchess to realize that she wears a really truly golden crown, while all the lesser peeresses wear mere silver gilt. It is at the earl marshal's office that all these detalls are regulated and it is the business of his grace of Norfolk to see that everybody's coronet Is trimmed and ‘worn according to sterm and exact regula- tions. For Instance, a duchess’ crown must be chased as jeweled, surmounted by eight golden strawberry leaves; its cap must be of crimson velvet, turned up with ermine and finished by a golden tassel. The man- tle that goes with this is of crimson velvet, edged with & five-inch wide border of mini- ver pure, and the train must fall two yards on the ground. For Other Grand Damen, Just a trifie less splendld than the cor- onet of the duchess Is that worn by a marchioness, and so far we shall have only one pretty American woman to represent this branch of the peerage. She will be the Marchioness of Dufferin, nee Flora Da- vis of New York. Her coronet is of ail- ver gllt, chased as jeweled, surmounted by five glit strawberry leaves alternating honors are distributed by the king before the coronation, only five American coun- tesses will explolt these corone These are the countesses of Essex, Craven, Dun- more, Egremont and Tankerville, who will adequately illustrate types of beauty from several of the states. The countesses will show sixteen sil- ver balls set on silver gilt bands, that are also chased as jeweled, while the cap: tassels and fur circles are the same those on a duchess’ coronet. Thelr erimson velvet mantels, however, can only sweep the ground for one-half of a yard, and the miniver edging must be but two inches wide. Lady Curzon and Ledy Newborough must wear the coronets of baronesses, and in comparison with these of the marchionesses and countesses, they can best be described neat, but not gaudy. Onmly six silver balls ornament the silver glit band, above which puffs out the erimson velevt cap with its golden tassel and turn-up of er- mine. A baronesses’' trimson velvet mantle traile but three feet/on the ground, and her miniver trimming must measure ex- actly two inches in width. Altogether a baroness {s the least resplendent peeress at a coronation, but then, she 1s a glorious creature in comparison with the wife of a baronet, an honorable, or a knight. These unfortunate ladies can wear neither cor- onets nor crimeon velvet mantles, and, according to the sentiment of the moment, six silver balls and three feet of train are far preferable to no balls and no velvet. Settling a Vexed Question. Since coronets and court robes have be- come of such vast importance, agitated femininity, as represented in the British peerage, h been excitedly discussing the wi and means ofwearing coronets easily and gracefully as possible. As rybody knows, the coromet must be popped on at that pyschological moment when the archbishop of Canterbury fits the crown of England on the head of King Ed- ward. The peeresses carry their coronets in their hande to the Abbey, holding the gaudy trifies by two little straps sewed on just inside the ermine band; and what the overwrought duchess, etc., wished to know was how these gilt and velvet caps could be made to stay on, when Fashion, mightler than kings, has announced that the hair must be worn low. “Can any peeress be expected to remain mistress of herself, though her coronet fall?" Is what an American duchess, Iaughingly asked the queem, who smilingly replied: 'Certainly not,” and then her majesty solved the problem by announcing e —— 0 that pearl, dlamond or mixed tiaras could and should be worn to the coronation. The tiaras are to be put on securely at homo, and the coronet is to be lifted at the right fostant and lightly set just inside the be- gemmed guard, which will hold everything firm and lend a double aspect to glory to the crowned assemblage. CULTIVATING THE VOICE, Method of Curing Varfous I tions Explained. NEW YORK, March 28.—Professors of volce tralning are now found in all large clties. Women spectalists vieit patients at their homes and achleve gratitying results with young children and nervous patlents. Modern parents not only desire health and education for their children, but try to se- cure for them that subtle charm of, voice rich toned and cultivated, which carries with it such individuality and power. “To one person secking to be trained for public speaking there are a dozen wanting to be relieved of hindrances to the voice In everyday use,” said a profes- sor. “I get scores of letters and gifts from men and women whom I have helped con- quer a voice [nfirmity. No case s un- dortaken without the patient's agreeing to follow Instructions to the letter and under- standing that time, patience and determina- tion are the maln factors in the cure. The young man who went out just now is under treatment for a phenomenal volce, a volce that he can't depend on for a moment, and which nobody can hear for the first time without laughing. He says he dreads to speak to his friends in the street, because uncertaln how his voice will sound, whether it will be falsetto, bass or the thinmest squeak In the top register. At times when he particularly desires to speak firmly and decidedly he 1s apt to go off in a quavering treble. And when at soclal entertainments he wants to use low, gentle tones his volce comes out gruff and forbidding. As a law student of considerable ability his voice ls & great drawback. He is in training here half an hour each day systematically, even Sundays and holidays. I expect to put him in possession of tones which will allow of his addressing a jury or inviting a girl to dance with the same absolute control of his voice. “A club woman 50 years old is seeking cure for a lisp. She is intellectual and interested {n public affairs, but to hear her make an address with that lisp you wouldn’t credit her with an idea. She has resolved to undergo any prescribed discipline that will banish the trouble. Another ambi- tious club member is having her voice strengthened in order to speak in louder, clearer tones than she now commands. Min- isters who have injured their volces from overstrain and those whose tones are gut- teral or nasal come to be relieved of the diMculty. “I am now creating a volce in a woman whose faculty of speech has been paralyzed. She could scarcely utter a sound when her husband brought her here.

A pe- cullar case was that of & young stammerer whose father had bequeathed him a dye shop. He sald his trade was falling oft on account of his bungling talk. Garments being submitted for treatment he had to explain whether they need be ripped apart or left whole, the colors that the particular material would best take, whether the but- tons and trimmings should be removed, etc. To pronounce the words “rip” and “but- tons” was agony to him. He is now almost cured.

I con- demn this method as ungraceful and use & successful system of my own. Famillarity with the principles of health and the conditions that affect the nerves and muscles of speech s essential to the volce culturist. Indistinctness is sometimes due to carelessness or to a want of self- confidence or self-assertion. There are sub- jects the roof of whose mouth is too high to promote correct utterance and they must learn to allow for this defect. Some people, while appreciating the expression that should be given to sentences, lack control over their mouth muscles. The words come out headlong without modulation or empha- sia and leave no impression on the listener. All faults can be corrected by the exertion of the individual will under proper train- ing. An astonishing number of young chil- dren have defective volces or tricks of speech, 8o many are brought to me that I can ecasily guess the number who are being neglected; and lessons in breathing are an important feature in all cures.” WOMAN'S UNEVEN SHOULDERS, Said to Be Caused by Having to Hold Up a Heavy Train. “Have you,” sald one woman to another in the course of a walk through the shop- ping district, “noticed how crooked women are getting to be? Look at some of the women who pass us, and see if the right shoulder s not almost invariably lower than the other.” The other woman looked, and lo! it was so. “It is the natural result of always having a train to hold up,” said the first womam. ‘Why will women cling to such unreason- able fashions? A train is graceful only when allowed to sweep the ground, and we cannot let it do that in the dirty streets, consequently we are everlastingly clutching it to keep it from the pavement, and the position this necessitates is so constantly assumed that the right shoulder s becom- ing lower than the other. If the thing con- tinues the boastcd carriage of the Ameri- can girl will soon be an empty boast in- deed. The only remedy for the present, the only hope for the future, is to leave off tralling skirts and go to & gymnasium. There, under the direction of a competent teacher, one who knows how to cure just such defects, train, and never stop until you are straight again. For and About Women.

BRIGGS, (All Rights Reserved.) It is really astonishing how many of the things that make life miser able manifest themselves In the back. This is, of course, more especially true of women, because there are 80 many more things about a woman's or- ganism that effect the nerves controlling the blood circulation of the back. With women a nerve center is more than half the time a storm center, and the nerve centers, which have the greatest controlling influence, are located where the immediate radiation is in the region bordering the spinal cord. Men, of course, have weak backs sometimes, but you won't find a man ex- periencing those long stretches of hopeless weariness and misery known as backache. There are women, and I know several such, who have put in whole years of their lives suffering from a backache which has scarcely let up its grip an hour, day or night. Describe it as vividly as you please, one cannot make plain the full misery of backache to auother who has never been troubled with it. I had a siege with it for several months and I know what it means. I also understand how happy the women are who find means to rid themselves of It. A singular thing about backache is that it Is frequently taken for rheu- matism or lumbago, and treated with surface applications, such as liniments and plasters, which really make it a good deal worse, because they Increase the inflammation within. The real article mn the way of a woman's backache’ always comes from something of a serious nature in the kidneys or uterine region, and it 1is wholly true that nothing will stop the backache while the inflammation ex- | ists. True, too, it is that to cure this condition nature must have most in- | telligent ald. Doctors bungle over backache continually, as, indeed, they do | over most of women's troubles. Whether it is because women do not make thelr symptoms plain to them or because they are puzzled by the great va- rlety of symptoms, I never could understand; certain, however, it is that the women I know who have been trying for years to get rid of backache have gone to a doctor right along, and none of them have been benefited by the treatment. I have heard, too, of so many other women having this same experience that I think there is something about women's discases difficult for a physiclan to diagnose and treat. In a general way, backache {8 a sort of neuralgia fed constantly from a storm center in the kidneys or uterus. It is a nervous trouble which sets up an irregularity in the circulation, clogging some of the blood cells or vessels or veins, with an instant and constant inflammation. Nor can you stop this inflammatory process without you bring the nerves to a normal state, and the difficulty of finding the right medicine for a woman's nerves s the rock on which the doctor's efforts usually come to grief. There s little doubt in my mind that the reason Lydia Pinkham's Com- pound Is so effective In curing backache s because its action 18 on the or- gans which control the movement of theé blood. There is no question that Mrs. Pinkham's medicine I8 a great thing for women who have any disorder of the feminine organs or any backache or nervousness, so that there must Dbe a logical reason for its good work. I know a great many women don't want to take Lydia BE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for the absurd reason that it is so well known, and the equally absurd reason that it Is advertised. Then, too, they dislike to ask for it at the drug store. I have always noticed, however, that when a woman buys her first bottle of this medicine she is so much improved by it that she continues the medicine for several bottles and becomes thoroughly enthusiastic about the help it has been to her. I think all women with backache might take a hint from this and make the small effort necessary to test Mrs. Pinkham's medcine, for it does what no other treatment does I ever knew about, and certainly what no ordi- nary physician’'s treatment does—it stops backache. It has to my knowl- edge cured some distressing cases of it, and I bave heard and read of many more. - You cannot well Ignore these well known facts about this medi- cine If you really want to get rid of that, eternal ache.
