Abnormal circumstances, to slog and sing
well, or la this the privilege of only a few,
blessed from birth, as It ware, with a
musical temperament and talent, and with
t lie necessary voice qualitiesttuns to express
this innate In aongt .
Madame Galloway, who balls from New
York city, spent sercral days of this week
nt the home of Mrs. P. II. Hnook In this
I-Ity, en route to Albany, where she will
spend a season for her health. When one
considers the fame of Madame Galloway,s
pupils, the high esteem In which she Is held
by the great musical directors and Impress-
nee, she looms up as probably the most
noted rolce-bullder In America.
And right here la the distinction which
explains and answers the foregoing ques
tions as regards the beliefs and the opin
ions of Madame Galloway's school. She Is
a "rolce-bullder.” ■■ distinguished from a
"rocal teacher.
She builds voices. She takes, collects,
gathers togstber, and properly piece* thee#
essentials which go to make up a yolco and
sho builds a singing atructnfe. A rocal
teacher. In dlatlnellon, takos what I* al

Madatne Galloway Is nothing If not an In-
tern,ting talkor. Ifhe combines In her con
versation all tbs Are of the South, Ihe en
thusiasm ona associates with the French,
and the precision and the directness which
characterises In speech, as well a* In all

According to her oplulon—and her work,

The Speaking Voice.
“I always judge the character of the
voice from the speaking voice,” she ox*

now prominent In the theatrical world—

4‘OOKING PROMOTES HEALTH.
"It Is the greatest pity Imaginable,'
foy* Prot. Harvey W, Wiley, the gov
omnium's chemist In chief, "that the
twentieth century young' lady should
affect to despise the art of cooking,
and to regard the most >admtrable of
housewifely ocupntfons ns beneath her
attention. Cooking Is properly to be
regarded as one of the esthetic arts.
But It Ja also a means of physical cul
ture. It I, a brlnger of health.to her
who cooks, as. well ae a source of
happiness (when the work Is properly
done) to thoee for whom the. culinary
procesees are performed. It Is a mis
take to look upon kitchen work ae mere
drudgery, appropriate only for menial
eervltors. Among the household arte
It stands foremost, being obviously the
moet Important; and the fine lady who
affects to despise It, and who brings up
her daughters In Ignorance of. It—re
gardless of the fact that they may
marry poor 'men, and that such
knowledge may at a future day be to
them of utmost value—Is causing her
Influence, so far as It may extend, to
turn ctvlllxatlon backward.
•Furthermore, no man who has reach
ed the age of discretion admires the
useless, incapable womnn/who does not
know how to manage the business of
her domestic establishment—not even
how to.gtve Intelligent directions to the
cook. The time hoe passed when help,
leesnese In young women was regarded
ai attractive. Men nowadays want
wives who are efficient and self-reli
ant helpmates. But the point on which
I would lay most stress Is that kitchen
work promotes health. There le no bet
ter exercise than that which is ob
tained Incidentally to culinary tasks.
For developing the physique, tossing
flapjacks la better than grucehoopB
(which, by the way, are coming Into
fashion again); beating eggs Is as good
as wielding a tennis racquet, and mash
ing potatoes le decidedly superior to
bowling.
"To create the masterpiece a first-
rate dinner demands Imagination. Nay,
more—It calls upon the Judgment and
the perceptive faculties. Thus the
practice of the culinary art Improves
the mind while It develops the body.
It affords exercise valuable to men-
‘ Jlty ae well ae to the physique.
•The culinary exercise's may be re
tried ae a specialised form of calls-
lenlcs. Well-conducted cooking schools
are among the most admirable of edu
cational Institutions, and should be en.
couraged with liberal endowments. No
young woman, however elevated the
social sphere In which she moves,
should be allowed to arrive at a mar
riageable age without knowing how to
prepare an appetising dinner from the
■oup to the dessert. It Is a part of
her business In life. If she does not
nossess euch knowledge she Is not flt
:o be the mistress of a household or
the wife of any man worth having os
a husband. She should be left on the
shelf ss a suitable recruit for the
ranks of the old maids,”
