While the superior attractiveness of Amerjean women has won the world’s recognition and with justice, yet there are, according to Mrs. Admiral! Dahlgren, who is unquestioned authority. gsome points upon which invidious comments sre made. eo For instance, special exception has been taken, and not without cause, against the strident American voice. This is a very serious matter. A low, sweet voice, a well regulated an musically cadenced voice, is doubtless the chiefest charm a woman oan have.. Such a manner of speech is not only potent to charm, but at the same time a carefully trained tone is perfect evidence of good breeding. If our young women would duly measure the ineffable grace of well chosen words, framed in clearly enunciated and melodiously modulated accents, they would make of the uses of language and the vocal culture a very careful study. . Women who are gifted with a remarkable power of song sway the multitude, but the women who make music as they talk sway hearts. There exists at times a mistaken notion that it shows a strong mind and force of character to disregard conventional rules, and so young girls think it is independent and very brave to carry out various whims. They find slang phrases amusing, cigarette smoking refreshing, betting at races exhilarating, driving and promenading alone with men agreeable and at other times dispensing with chaperonage admissible. Have these impulsive young persons measured the world’s verdict? If not they fail to know that no habit is acceptable that is essentially unfeminine. No*woman, young or old, can hops’to set aside conventional rules which are the result of the best gleanings of the world’s wisdom. Every habit that is un- refined shows a want of sensibility that is very disparaging. Repose of manner marks the highest distinction and is exceedingly restful. We cannot too earnestly disclaim against ali affectations, for, first, last and always, well bred people are natural. That which especially marks une grande dame is simplicity of bearing. Caprices and the “putting on of airs” mari the parvenu who has not had the advantage of early home training, and who asa cousequexce is apt to feel if at ease and mistake what is requisite. But while coldness and hauteur evidence ignorance of real good breeding, yet that familiar manner which is its opposite is not to be tolerated. A true repose is in no wise incompatible with charming vivacity because one can be witty and sparkling and yet perfectly self contained. The *“‘Small Change” of Society. Ready money, and especially smal! chanze, is what we want in society. Our minds may be perfect storehouses of information, but if we cannot fil the particu!ar fact we want for tue moment for conversations! purposes the the rest is mere useless lumber: acyclopedia {s of little uss without an index. tor SPEAKING. Among An Irish Member Views of Parliament on the Gives His Subject. lt. would be ludicrous on my part to set up as an authority on publie speaking, says William O'Brien, member of parhament. Nothing short of the tmperious necessities of our Irish strug: gles and a comrnand from Mr. Parnell could ever have made me a _ public speaker, and these necessities once satisfied, | cannot imagine anything which would induce me to remain one. However, as you are kind. enough to evince any interest in my personal experiences, it is buta very trifling re: turn of good will on my part to tell you the very little I have to say upon the subject. If there is anybody, not afool or a bore, whoever presumed to address an audience of thinking men upon any grave topic without preparation in some shape, in the mind if not on paper, I have not the least pretension to the gift. My rule is to think as much as possible of what I want to say, and us little as possible of how I am going to say it, and my first tase (it was tothe electors of Mallow} was wholly written. When the moment came to speak it the flowing language all swam before me and disappeared. I was oniy saved from a catastrophe by the intense enthu: siasm of the crowd, who knew I! was no speechmaker, and did not care three straws for my mere words; but, once fired by their magnetism, I found the argument of my written speech come back to my memory most. serviceably, and I found plainer and more direct words to enforce it. Since then, unfortunately, the incessant demands of our struggle in lreland have, in nineteen cases out of twenty, rendered anything like written preparation a ridiculously impossible luxury, which is all the greater pity that every idle word of ours is scrutinized by malignant eyes for something that may serve against us, whether for the purpose of a prosecution inlreland or quotation in England. ; For the last two years my practice has been to wake at 7 o'clock on the morning of a meeting, if not obliged to be out all night,and turn over in my mind for an hour or two the most effective line of argument for the day, sometimes jumping out of bed togot down some. particular hint or purase that may oceur to me.

An English sailor was employed in cleaning the side of a ship in the harbor of Sierra Leone, when he suddenly disappeared from the view of his Pebonrhied messmates. He had his feet in the water ashe sat at his work, and he was singing a song. He never came to the surfece. His friends were far from suspecting the cause of his disappearance until a day or two ufter, when one of his limbs was discharged from the maw of a captured shark. The shark had caught him by the foot and dragged him down, and, as there was too much reason to believe, had waged a fierce fight over his remains with a swarm of other monsters of the same species. No single circumstance of horror seems wanting to the story of this poor fellow’s doom, and, to complete the count, we have the almost fateful carelessness by which it was. brought about. Only a sailor, perhaps, would have shown such indifference to a perseas.

Don’t delude yourself into thinking that the pleasure of seeing you will compensate for the inconvenience caused by your want of thought. One of the chief pleasures of paying or receiving visits is in anticipation. ; 2, State beforehand the length of your visit. Every hostess wants to make the most of the time devoted toher. Be sure to tell definitely the road and train on which you will go, and if your arrival is to be near the dinner or supper hour, whether you will have lunched on the train. 3. Adapt yourself to the habits of the family visited. If you are so constituted that you cannot makes such changes in your habits, don’t visit. Being habitually late at breakfast is unpardonable rudeness in a guest. Not less annoying than late rising is too early rising. Never go down stairs till near the breakfast hour. 4. Avoid giving unnecessary trouble. To many housekeepers it is a great annuyance to have their guests’ things left lying around at random, especially. pocketbooks and jewelry. A lady is nct always sure of her servants, and itis due to her to take care of these things yourself. Another thing is to avoid calling upon servants’ for extra work. 5. Be helpful in an unobtrusive way. 6. Don’t affect to be entertained. Nothing makes a hostess more uncomfortable than to go back to the parlor after an absence, to find the guest waiting stiffly for her return, without doing anything to entertain herself. % Pay your own small bills, It seems sometimes almost impossible to do this. Oceasionally your hostess will insist so upon paying for you that it seems almost rudeness to refuse. Allowing for such cases, it is still true that, as a rule, it is better to pay for your trunk yourself. Beon hand when it comes and pay the expressman. You will find this easier than making your hostess take the money after she has paid it. Supply yourself with change, stamps and stationery before leaving home, 8. Don’t fail to write on returning home and express pleasure in the visit. 9. Never retail family secrets learned from a lengthy visit.
