Few women have ever had a wider or| more enthusiastic following among women | of the United States than Mrs. Decker. The General Federation has over §00,000 members, nedrly all women of leisure, many of them of great wealth.

Carrie Chapman Catt's Aetivity. ‘Were the men of the world without the franchise and did the men of twenty-onc countries organize to secure this result, | the man they elected president might rea- sonably be called a rapresentative man. On the same basis Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt might be called a representative woman's woman. 'The suffragists of the | world have given her the highest office in their power, Beginning as a farmer's daughter, a school teacher, a local speaker for the cause In country towns, the suffragists have made her sucoessiyely president of the national organization, then of the in- ternational, finally ohairman of the first man suffrage party in history. s. Catt has distinction In dress and appearance. She is a college graduate and cultivated. She is an able and polished publie speaker, though not of the stam- peding kind, She has traveled over 100,000 miles for suffrage, stumping nearly every gtate in the unlon for It .and nearly all the countries of Europe. At a banquet of (he Lyceum club in London a few weeks 450 Lady Frances Balfour declared Mrs, tt the best presiding officer she had ever n of any organized hody and of dither sex. “We had a convention of delogates from twenty-one countrles In Londo sald Lady Frances. “We had a new constitu- tlon to adopt, as complicated as only Amerieans oan make o' constitution.

Mr. Catt gulded ns through that polygot and Intrieate discussion without one moment's hesitation the loss of one thread of the discourse or the offense of 4 single Individual.'"

Catt's personal popularity among women of all sorts and kinds rests upon the unfailing courtesy with which she | treats every one and upon her a'uwcrnlcl feeling.

Mrs. Grenfell made so good a superin- tendant that after her first term the lead- Ing educators of the state, headed by the president of the State university, presented a petition to her party to nominate her again, an unprecedented history.

Among the advanced section of the self-styled intellectuals it is common enough to encounter @ man and his clvie wife.

Their palliative for the evil of broken up marriages was to assimilate the Russian law to that in practice be- tween the Protestant churches and their adherents. They adyised the granting of judicial separations in cases in which the rupture is not final, as is done In England and Germany. The holy synod has not taken that advice and it will hold that the only departure from the married state s the divorced state. It has, however, enlarged the existing statutory grounds for divorce, In the church code it has Jald down that divorce Is unlawful, but It is added that | the church may in exceptional cases grant | divorce as an act of grace and for the sake of weak humanity.

Here 18 one entitled: “Singing Acro- ‘batics” (Berlin Tageblatt, January 24, 1910.) ‘——— In Milan, the center of Italian musical activity there are 200 voice teach- ers, among whom there are many curious and cunning chaps, if one would judge ac- cording to the description, glven by Romeo Carugatl in the “'Lombardia.”—These “Gen- tlemen Singing Masters” have made the strangest discoverles, with whose aid they impart to their scholars the proper produc- tion of “Chest, Head, Throat and Nasal tones. One of these teachers has invented a curlous wooden triangle with a saw- shaped edge, which he stuffs into the mouths of his pupils on the same principle as a “gag” and In this condition the wretched vietim 18 compelled to sing all the vowels dn half and In whole tonei Proper breathing can only be learned unde: this “master,” if you will hold a rubber band, the thickness of your finger, in your outstretched hands, and then sing until you can sing no further. Still more vio- lent another singing teacher is sald to pro- ceed: “To test lung power he employs a sort of welghing, using twenty-four quarto- folio volumes, each about seven pounds heavy. The pupil must lie on the floor, then ' the ‘macstro’ goes to the plano and sounds a tone, which the pupll must sing, while his mouth is opened wide, the teacher proceeds to load one of the seven-pound- ) abdomen (Bauch) until the patient (pardon, a “pupll”) is utterly incapablo of another’ sound. Anyone, ‘‘accomplishing’’ as many as ten volumes with this method, furnishes proof, that there is something in him, whether it be “athlete” or Singer, that's another question. Again another has a method, which must be proclaimed as ‘“glorious’— The pupll must sing before a burning candie, sustaining his tones until the flick- ering candle flame shows not the least sign of a trembling vibration.—This species of singing 1s evidently the kind, commonly callad * “smorsando.”—The Iist’ of ed, howev. out mentioning the "“main’ schemers."—One for instance must be noted, who has in a magnificent haliway, many this hallway (corridore) in- spired him' to a most worderful ide the pupil, while singing, must march up and down this hallway in a certain pre- ribed tempo,~The pupll that will o “manage” § corridorcs, while sustaining one single tone, |5 strictly medioere,—a six-¢orridore pupil, however, means to this teacher the equivalent of above mentioned ¥10-7 pound-volume pupdls.

Whatever the worth of this gloomy cer monial may be, is followed by this teach- er's obligation, in assuming the responsi- bllity, to create a prominent Tenor—Bari- tone—or Bass, according to cholce out of each and every vocal student, and such in_a few hours. ¥ 2 'With kindest regards and “What's Your Method?"

Methinks If M—— and the writer were talking together they might have some interesting experiences to relate about a famous teacher in this same Milan and his famous ‘'O exercises, together with the “curious wooden triangle with the saw-shaped edge. —— But this is nothing. One does not have to travel far to find the most absurd ex- travagancies suggested and acted upon, in order to cultivate the voice, and it is & very grave question a8 to whether the in- yention of the laryngoscope has not dene infinitely more harm than good to the! " Could it be possible that this { volco student—note well, the voice student. The throat speclalist has done much to alleviate suffering through his research with the ald of that Instrument, but the market has been flooded with treatises on the throat and its disorders, and students have been given too much lgnorant or semi-ignorant discussions of the physical processes, instead of training the delicate hearing apparatus. The writer has never met a student who talked the muscular-process-idea and worked from that basis, who was not gullty of the most appalling ignorance on the simplest and most fundamental things pertaining to tone-production and the art of singing. Students have talked to him about the | posterior crico-aryteenold muscles, and the | important mission of the sterno-thyroides | and the thyro-hyolds—and yet their enun- | clation of words was anything but good, | while “rests,” ‘“dots” ‘‘time-markings,” | ete., were Ignored as though they did not exist. The musical editor of The Bee takes is- sue with the throat specialists who contend that the singer ought to know all about the vocal processes; they are wrong, as they would find out if they were teachers of singing. Far better would it be for throat speclalists to go into the singing matter themselves with competent teachers, and be sure, very sure, that they are not treat- ing effects as though they were causes, many times hnd oft. A speclalist in stomach trouble, will, | &8s & rule, begin his treatment by finding out what the patient eats which is wrong for him, and correcting that. How many | throat speclalists ever take the trouble to enquire as to how & person ls singing, whether too high or too low? How many throat speclalists would know if a pupll sang the vowel ‘‘ee’” sound correctly? And yet the abuse of this vowel has caused much throat trouble, and the corpection of It, has relieved throat troubles which defined the throat specialist. The day will come when the serious and thorough throat-specialist and the serious and thorough singing-teacher will work: to- gether for the correction of our “‘national” volce defects. The American volce Is in sore need of cultivation and especially in speaking. oo Mr. Max Landow of Berlin and Omaha, | has “been" to Boston. He gave a piano recital there recently and received the highest approval.

The grounds for granting divorce are in- fidelity, disappearance for five years or loss of eivil rights. The last condition of civil death is meted out to long term pris- oners as part of their sentence and sets thelr life partner free in the eyes of the chureh. The state of disappearance means much more than wilful desertion; the party charged with desertion must be actually undiscoverable, must be advertised for and the description posted to local authorities throughout Russia and even abroad.

For the petition to succeed it must be accompanied by a handsome present of money to the ehurch as a token of regret and obedience. But there are other ways of overcoming the ban, Any marriage performed by a priest of the Orthodox church is absoiutely binding and makes the parties Orthodox | Christians. A priest may have quarrelled | with his superiors and may be about to be | untrocked. Before he is actually dispos- sessed of his office he has a Busy and prof- | itable time marrying divorced persons, and the knot he tles is as binding as any other, Business for the Priest, | His own marriage laws are peculiar. | While he {s a member of the white, or | pastoral, clergy he must be a married | man; should he become a widower he must pass over to the black, or monastic, clergy, or into the clerfeal departments of the church administration, which employs thousands of clerks in its land and law offices. The notorious Father Gapon was & widower and ex-member of the pastoral clergy, and it was the loss of his wife that started him on his strange career as an oceasional spiritual attendant at prisons | and then at state owned factories, where he came first in touch with his revolu- tionary raw material These unbeneficed clergy are an Im-| portant factor on the marriage market, | They marry thousands whom the chureh | has forbidden to marry, but neither they nor any other authority but the church courts can grant divorce.
