The inclination to iravel seems this siiring to o greater than ever. The large European steamers are now as well patronized hs Inter in the Feason. The ir al de mer has no terrors for these travelers who, to enjoy the plensurt s a trip abroad affords, are v,iilinj to take the bitter with the sv.c-t. Hut travelling across the waters is not to be thought of without a jd'etty traveling dress, and aim.njr the many dirlVrent materials mitab!; the large square Scotch plaids seem tor Im. the pMiereiice v. hi' h, in combination with plain goods, are very terviceable, the waist and ovcrskirt made qnite plainly of the tolid color, and trimmed sparingly with the plaid of which the underskirt is made. A novel and ttriking cos-turnc is of ianvas cloth or other linengtKxls of similar texture "tailor made" and seeroly plain in.trimrrdng; the seams of the waist are covered by a linen passementerie in imitation of rore uised f-r tying sai!s, the edge of the waist and füll skirt are lir.ished by u similar cord, though somewhat coarser and thicker. A jot-key cup made of canvas, the four pieces joined on top by loops of cord and patent-leather shield 's the crowning piece to this unicjue costume, the possession of which will in a measure ooinpensute the fair wearer for many a little discomfort the trip may bring to her. At the many complimentary readings, concerts and amateur rehearsals, which quiet dissipation is the order of the day, the new and pretty bonnets form one of the attractions. The tender green, hie h dcIighU our eyes in the spring, seems to be the favorite color for trimming: hardly aionnct is to be kcii which Ins not some little bit of- green coloring but tb garnish green is aito-ther excluded and only the pale, soft shad,3 tuich va chartr': ioermose, Svirpi"te, which harmonic-' with all other colors are used.

experience has taught me that to

become a succesMiil opera-singer one must have much more than voice, though that, of course, i3 the first requisite. For instance, one must have magnetism, a splendid physique, dramatic power, the artistic sense, and drawing power." "What is magnetism? "It eaun ot be defined in words any more than drawing power can be. It is a something that some jieople have and some people have not. Emerson, you know, calls it a universality of soul, but to the. person who does not know what magnetism is universality of soul is just as meaningless; and to the pcrpon who does know what universality of soul means no definition of magnetism is needed.

Instead of the intt rrogrttive "what," ''how" i oisetl, or the more cert uionious ''beg pardon ''that is ns involuntary with n Briton ua breathing. An era of common sense h:i overtaken society. Fnteriainmerits are given at much more reasonable hours than in times past; ostentatious di.-play in the shape of rlowcrs and dress has ceased, while the extreme simplicity of the viands served at the bet homes marks a wide departure from tlie sumptuous feasts of five years aifo. Srne of the new hats are abrupt at the back, long over the eyes, and extra high on the sides. 1 iicrt is some quaint manipulating in the very large, round hats, and the old-fashuJned Cainsboroughs are dented in, putted out, rolled up, and tui-ued back until the original shape is entirely lost.

times it does and sometimes it does not.

I think perhaps the best idea of magnetism may be had by applying to art the old saying that the world loves a lover. If a iK-rson really loves his work, whatever it may be, he "will do it in a magnetic manner, and if he be a speaker, or an actor, or si singer, be will then Ikj likely, if not iudeetl certain, to have that quality called drawing power the power to draw people to see htni or to hear him and to eujov him." "What do you mean bv a splendid physique?" "I mean good health a good, strong body, and plenty of rich blood. There is no class of persons in all this world who make health more a study than the successful singers. Jt amuses me to hear or to read, as I donowand then, of tlie champagne suppers and midnight feasts of great singers. Of course these stories are generally untrue. Once in a while, perhaps, a great singer may indulge in a wine supper, but it is only once in a while, and once in along while, too, that he or she can afford to do so., i'rom Christine Nilsson down all singers are very particular about their diet. Meat and milk are their staples, and as for midnight suppers they consist generally of crackers and milk, l'atti almost always takes a little mutton broth after her performance, but nearly all the others have crackers and milk." "And you?" "I always take milk and crackers. The young girl who thinks marearoons and chocolate caramels will lit her out for singing opera is as much mistaken as the young man who tries to make champagne su pliers ierform the same service for him." "Is it true that singers never eat soon before their performances?''

"Many think a dinner interferes with their singing; they therefore dine early. Hut as for myself it makes no difference. I eat when 1 please, but always eat plain food. I could eat at 7:150 and sing at 8 without any trouble whatever. Physically I am as sound as a trivet; I could digest a paving-stone." "You spoke of dramatic power, Miss Abbott." "es. Tlie time was when a person could lean against a wing or sit in a chair and sing an operatic scene through as if be were an automaton with a good voice, but now the jH'ojde want dramatic action. They demand that opera shall be well acted in addition to being Meli sungr. No matter what the voice may be, the opera singer must be a pood actor nowadays, and the voice must have a dramatic j hi wer, too, of course." "Can you define the artistic sense to which von referred?" "Ah," there is the thing. That is what no opera singer can go on without. To tiefine it would le to thline art itself. It includes taste and a thousand other things which are indefinable. You know the lust of everything is indefinable. ut what is the use of defining it? The jhtfoii uIki has the artistic sense knows what it is without a definition, and the erson who has it not cannot understand any definition of it. The person who lias it in the greatest degree liecomcs the greatest artist. Michael Angelo bad it, and therefore he w as a great artist, a gTcat poet, a greatseulptor.andgreatarchitect. If he had had a voice he would have lioen a great singer. Adelaide Neilson had it, and therefore she was a great actress. Nature gave to her alxjut the ugliest pair of hands 1 ever saw on a woman, but it gave to her also the artistic sense to learu so to use those hands as to make them seem to be lerfectly beautiful. If I were to attempt u brief definition of this sense 1 should say it is that in us which prompts us to make beautiful everything with which we have to do. The opera finger must have a beautiful voice, beautiful manners, beautiful costumes, lioautiful stage settings, ami she must have the artistic sense to know what constitutes these." Do vou think good taste is an inherent nality, Miss Abliott?" "'It necessarily, but I think no person mIio lias not this artistic sense in some degree can acquire good taste. You must have the silk before you can make a silk purse, you know." "Had you good taste when you entered upon your operatic career?" "1 liad no more taste than a Blaekfoot squaw." "Then how did you acquire it?" "If I have good taste indeed," replied Miss Abbott, "I have acquired it by close observation and careful studv. I try to see everything around me and to pick out what is beautiful about it. Then I try to analyze that to find out why it is beautiful. " I sdudy the most beautiful paintings and statuary and draperies. Then, before 1 attempt to make a gown or a stage picture, or anything else, 1 construct it in my imagination and look at it with my mind's eye for a long time, AVhen I have it to suit me I talk it over with other eople and listen to all the suggestions I can thaw from them. Such suggestions as seem to be good I adopt and the rest I throw away. I catch ideas from all Horts of places and from nil sorts of people. Some of the best of my postures, in 'Miguon,' for example, were wiggested to me by children whom I saw playing in the street. My mind is always on mv art. and my greatest pleasure is my study of it. I try to make everything I see or near contribute to it. I am, I suspose, a crank in this matter." "i?o are all people cranks who succeed in art." "Well, if I have had some success," said Miss Abbott, modestly, "it is due to the fact that 1 did not agree with Hessin i that voice is everything. It is because I have striven to -give one part of my profession as much careful attention as any other part, and have tried hard to round them all out into a complete whole. There are jMTKins in my profession w ho seem to think it is vulgar to be symmetrically develotM'd. I met a noted singer in London the last time I was there who told me she should like to come to America, bat she could not do so because the Americans Mere not up to her sort of singing; that she was too severe for them; that she, could not trill, for instance, and did not w ant to learn. She w as proud of the fact

that her accomplishments were shut in by narrow limits. It is not so with Patti, however. I remember she one day told me what she was going to do to coäx her voice up to a joint lievond its present limits, and she did it. Then, two wet ks alter that she drew her voice dow n for a seeimen performance which she was determined to accomplish. I do not believe in the narrow-limit idea. You, as a writer, might as well throw a dozen letters out of the alphabet and say you can get along better with the rest; "tiiat you need only a few letters to express w'hat you want to say, and that you don't wish to learn to sav anything that cannot be expressed by these few. An artist should know all titles of his art. The more of those sides he knows the more he is master of that art." "Then you think it is possible for a songstress to train her voice uu aud down at Will?" "I certainly do. Indeed, I am beginning to think all tbtngs are iossible. I know that live or six years ago I had to transpose almost everything down to suit my voice, but one day I determined not to do that any more, but to draw my voice, so to speak, up to the music. It took lots of drilling and some pluck, but I did it." Miss Abbott has now one of the highest soprano voices in the world. "Hut," she said, "I am sure that I could and would if my art demanded it change my voice to a contralto." "Without injuring the quality of it?" I asked. "Yes, sir; without the least injury to its quality. This may be a startling declaration, but 1 believe it is true. Why, twelve months ago I would have said it was utterly impossible to reach the low tones that I now sound without the least effort. That is why I pay I am beginning to think nothing is impossible. Study ami patient effort will accomplish I was" going to say will accomplish anything;"." "Of course you have some well-defined ideas of methods of voice culture. Miss Ablsott." "Yes, sir; and I like to talk about them, too. I have one pet idea that I wish I could drive into every young singers head. It relates to the preservation of the quality of freshness in the voice. Jt is saddening to see so many good young voices rained by the hanimer-and-tongs method of some of the teachers. They force all the freshness and beauty out of a voice and call that cultivation. Cultivation indeed! Il is ruining the voices of many jiersons whom nature intended to be beautiful singers. There is nothing in the world more pleasing to hear than the natural voice. Li t a child burst forth in

i song and it sounds as if he were singing

j because he couldn't help it. It catties j with it a joy which no amount of cultivai tion can increase, save that cultivation re

fines rather than obliterates that quality. This childish freshness should always be preserved, and it may be as easily as not, if young singers cease to have their voices forced beyond the proper limits. The voice should be treated with tl)4' same delicate care that a fond mother bestows upon lier babe ; and I was glad, on my recent trips to Kurope, to see that the most celebrated teachers there have agreed that this butchery of the voice should cease; that howling is o give way to singing, and that tlie mezzo voice, or half-voice, method is to be adopted; that instead of hammering the natural freshness and sweetness out of a voice they propose now to begin developing that charming quality, unfolding the voice little by'little and strengthening it only as it can bear it. The voice should never be fatigued. It should always have a reserved force a force always to be there, but never to Ik- used. The eloquent speaker knows that the surest way to impress his audience w ith his pow er is never to use all his force. He is jiowcrful in proportion to the reserve power he seems to have. The artistic singer knows the same thing. Therefore the voice should never be urged to its utmost bounds." Speaking of the critics, Miss Abbott said: "They have been in many instances my best friends. They have sometimes hurt my feelings, but every time they have pointed out a real fault they have performed a service for me and 1 have profited by it." -i 1 Hexew your subscription at once before it is too late.

A STRONG POINT WELL TAKEN.

A Content llrtwrrn tli- Drunkanl' Appetite and tue Poor Jlau'i Hack. : New York HerrJd.J Mr. Mi'Millin of Tennessee, put the winde taritt'dLscussioti in a nutshell ycsterdr.y. His summing n of the ca; hetu'eca the rcptihlicailS and' the deiufcrats was iKnc in a sin-de peiiteiicc, which tie workingUK'ti of this country wiiuld do well to keep in mind. We are fo situated just now thai we niu.st choose between the two horns of a dilemma, as Ir. MeMillin said namely, "whether we will reduce ttic tax on whisky or the tax on clot itinc; iti other words, reduce, the tax on that without which men can live and prosper, or on that w hieb is essential to their cxi- tence and comfort." He then i'dded, crowding the question at isue into a terse and forcible statement of fact ,that the matter "narrows itself down to a contest between the drunkard's appetites and the poor nan's hack." The point is well taken, and it can't ho evaded. This is the poor man's country, and ours is the poor inauH government. If there is any merit in our institutions it consists of the jealousy with which tiny guard the rights of the laboring classes, in the opportunities which they u flbrd them to improve their condition, educate their children und surround themselves with those domestic conveniences which no other people on th face of the planet are permitted to enjoy. The legislation which, interferes with this" beneficent purpose is radically unjust and intolerable. To foster capital as against labor is to run against the grain of our entire history and to obliterate the one grand peculiarity of the republic. To protect a monopoly, a combine w hich seizes, tlie market by the throat and lays every wage earner in the land under tribute to his avarice, is a step away from true democracy, a Mep toward an aristocracy that spurns the laborer with its foot and degrades him with a sneer of contempt. With a huge and increasing surplus in the treasury, therefore, the business of congress is tl) bs just to all and ko respect the rights of that grest majority, with its sleeves rolled up for tiailytiil. in cutting down the revenue its prime duty of which the republicans naturally enough seem to have lost sight all together is to give the masses the necessaries of life at as low n rate as possihle. Our 10,uwniH voters will hold their representatives at Washington responsible for the performance of that duty. In "a contest betw een the drunkard's appetites and the poor man's back" there is, then, no room for hesitation. I'hcaft blankets, cheap clothing arc to he preferred to cheap w hisky. The policy w hich the n public ms are pursuing with inconceivable blindness, deliberately ehoosiug cheap rum in place of cheap overcoats, is oidy another proof that they have lost the breadth and patriotism which used to govern their counsels and become .decrepit and penile. Mr. Mills in his opening spec-h slroweJ, to the chagriu of republican leaders, that t'.ie party of lllaine nnd Sherman slipped the taxes tilt of the shoulders of capital us iood after thu war as was possible, hut left them on the humble home of the working cIus-m-s, w here they remain to-day. Mr. MeMiilin followed with a statement of fact as cold as ice and as sharp as the point of a spear namely, that this question of taritf reform "narrows itself down t a contest between the drunkard's appetites and the poor man's back." The country will vole in favor of "tlie poor man's back." nie Ticket Strong. Seymour Democrat.
