prepared which will be announced as soon as perfected Ladies Literary Club On Friday afternoon Mrs1 Parsons assisted by Mrs Ritchie presented to the club a most interesting topic The Literature of the West Mrs Parsons spoke of the literature of the west as being comparatively young Its people until of late years having been engag ed in the struggle with natur the I clearing of forests the bridging of rIvers I riv-ers the conquest of savage and beast These things achieved the business of life has occupied the people to the ex tinction in a measure of all else But the literary feeling which is the neces sary precedent to literary production gradually developed until now the west may be said to have fairly en tered upon the field of literary produc tionA A few comparisons were then drawn between western literature and that of the east and south The literature of the west is not so psycologlcal as that of the east nor so emotional as that of the south It is the literature of notion no-tIon not reflection In the east the thou ht material is complex as in Howells for instance Nature at least in works of fiction comes in not large y The literature of the south has been until very lately feudal and aristo ratic in its reflection of the life of the plantation curd pathetic in its re leotlon of slave life The literature of the west is nothing if not democratic There has been some discussion of late years on the subject of the emanclpa ion of the west The idea of Hamlin Garland and others is that the west oas depended too much upon the east for models of style and expression methods and inspiration They would r l 1 do away with the study of the old masters mas-ters tear up and cast out all that is old from the study of life simply get their style expiession inspiration Mrs Parson Fyoke of Indiana as having given to her country several sons of whom she 4s Justly proud General Gen-eral Lew Wallace though not a western west-ern writer halls from the Hoosier state also the historian John > Clark Redpath the poet James Whitcomb Riley and the story writer Edward Eggleston From Ohio came Mrs Mary Hartwell Catherwood whose romances of early FrenchCanadian life have won an international reputation and another anoth-er gifted daughter of the same state is Edith M Thomas Mrs Alice French Octave Than whom Iowa delights to honor is a most conspicuous figure among western writers 5 Short sketches of Eugene Field perhaps per-haps the most brilliant of Chicago writers of B F Taylor Hamlin Garland Gar-land and Mrs Mary Abbott followed and a charming little poem by Eugene Ware the Kansas poet was given Conspicuous Con-spicuous among the writers of the Rocky Mountains are Helen Hunt Jackson and Mary Halleck Foote Owen Ow-en Wester though not ia western man must have spent some years of his life an the west to have become so familiar with western life and scenery Aside from Bret Harte and Joaquin Miller California has few writers of national fame yet there are many who have done good work and whose fame may yet travel beyond their own and neighboring neigh-boring states It was in California and I Nevada that the fame of Mark Twain I began Mrs Parsons concluded her paper by giving interesting sketches of Charles Wan en Stoddard E W Sill Ambrose Bierce and Gertrude Ather ton I tonMrs Ritchie gave in conclusion an entertaining and well written account of Bret Harte and Joaquin Miller She reviewed the lives of each in a most interesting manner and gave criticisms of their works I The Nineteenth Century Club The club has nqw left the study of ancient history and taken up the history his-tory of Frgnce Two splendidly prepared pre-pared articles were given Friday afternoon after-noon one by Miss Frankie French on the Geography of France and the other by Mrs Veach > on The City of I j Paris The domestic news was reviewed by Mrs Coray After recess and roll call the following follow-ing officers were elected to fill the short term from

These may for the most part be summed up in these two common sense and perseverance perse-verance Feltham 3 5 Music Notes I The long talked of project of organIzing I organ-izing a high class concert

Miss Sharp Hiss Romney Miss Mary Romney Mrs Heber Wells Mrs J D Spencer and Mr Dr Dunbar On Friday evening next at the Seventeenth Sev-enteenth ward hall a concert will be given for the benefit of the Sunday school The best of local talent will participate and a fine entertainment may be expected I An article of superior merit entitled How to Sing recently published in an eastern paper from the pen of Professor Pro-fessor V B de Loevy instructor of the local French club is of sufficient interest and excellence to warrant its reproduction in The Herald The article ar-ticle contains many valuable sugges tions to those desirous of excelling in the art It reads as follows How to Sins FirstBe perfectly natural Sing as you talk and read feel happy and look it SecondAll practice should be done with medium power of voice without forcing If you force your voice you I will ruin it forever ThirdStand up before a mirror when you practice by this means you will avoid facial contortions and learn to open your mouth properly FourthIn practicing you must be thoughtful and systematic beware of teachers who teach their own peculiar methods Stick to the masters of the old school of music French German Ger-man etc FIfthPractice specially on the vowel sounds and on words in the different languages in which you are called upon to sing SIxthDont practice too long twenty or thirty minutes at most is enough Abandon immediately a teacher who makes you sing longer than that at one lesson SeventhAcquire ease selfcontrol and confidence Grace of manner Is indispensible to please the public EIghthThe best exercise is to practice I prac-tice daily the simple tones each separately I sep-arately increase and decrease them by turns I NinthTake your breath from the lips as long as you can and keep it as long as possible i i i I TenthAvoId tremolo as you would a rattlesnake It is a fault of many I teachers to let their pupils tremble their tones it is horrible and must be avoided It shows weakness and lack of good training I EleventhThe muscles controlling I the voice will surely yield to treatment j treat-ment just as any other of the muscles j 1 of the body The only things requisite I for practice is steadiness regularity I and method i TwelfthIf you would be an opera singer you must take lessons in acting Thirteenth Lesions in elocution and expression in French German Italian and other languages are necessary i FourteenthThe Italian methods are I good only for light opera such as Lucia Favorita Norma etc For operas such as Wagners Monks the German methods are the best the French come next Fifteenth Beware of teachers who have never studied vocal music they will ruin your voice SixteenthRather pay 5 to a good teacher for one lesson than 55 to a bad one for a term SeventeenthRather take lessons from someone who knows about singing sing-ing himself EighteenthA man ought always to learn from a man a lady from a lady Nineteenth teacher must teach his pupils above everything else to breathe insensibly That is considered above all the greatest difficulty I Twentieth Forget when you sing I that you have a throat it must never j be contracted I Twentyfirst When you begin study i ing try to find a teacher who will make you start in your daily pactlre I with the vowel O It is considered in Europe the best for a foundation and you cannot begin practicing on the I vowel A without singing from the throat and it is essential that that organ or-gan remain loose and uncontracted I Twentysecond void all gliding sliding and scraping The tone must I be firm and tfce greater its purity and steadiness the better it Is I Twentythird Study the words to be I sung I Twentyfourth Sing with your heart j to reach the hearts of others I I Twentyfifth singer who can be understood is worth fifty who dent pronounce their words I Twentysixth Recite aloud often Twentysevemtlh Work always You can learn something every day of your life Above all dont lose confidence in yourself you will find toy those means the way of becoming a singer TwentyeigSitih When you choose a teacher pay attention to those who teach their own methods always choose one who follows the methods of music written by groat composers who knew and trained the worlds best Voices Give heed to the experience taught in these books and go forward with self confidence and a good heart A coue
