14 THE OMAITA DAILY BEE: RUN PAY, MAHCH 30, l!02. A WOMAN'S BACK And What Mokes it Ache: IN THE DOMAIN OF WOMAN. AMERICAN PEERESSES HEARD FROM Cassia Display of Yankee Cororli at Westminster. NEW TORK, March 28. King Edward of England reckoned without hi American, born subjects when ha gave orders that pserest bad better wear neatly lncon plruoui gilt circlets. Iread of their proper and hereditary coromts, on the occa Ion of hi eoronatlon. That Inborn defer ence and educated sens of obedience that the native Englishwoman feela for the crown would have Induced them to have accepted the royal edict with only a lit' tie private grumbling. Not to the Amer ican peeress. Sho knowa her rights and he has stuck to them. Those women who kali from the States and who have married BRIDAL DOWN WITH PEARL EMBROIDERED TRAIN, SHORT VEIL AND LOW COIFFURE. British titles gave a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull altogether to get the cor onet privilege, and In consequence King Edward, who ts nothing if not a gallant gentleman, punctiliously considerate of fem inine feelings, haa given way with truly royal grace; 'therefore, when their maj esties are safely crowned the peeresses will rightfully and proudly assume their proper coronets. Oaly Peeresses Wear Coronets. There Is a general Impression on this Ide of the water that all those pretty American women who have wedded Eng lish, Irish or Scotch titles will assume the Impressive head dress on that most im pressive June day . in Westmins ter Abbey. It Is the law, however, that no titled ; woman ranking below a baroness has a. right to a coronet, and this in con sequence, limits the number of our velvet capped Americans at the Abbey ceremonies. Only two Americans, for Instance, can wear gold coronets. These will be their grace of Marlborough and Manchester, and both these ladles, who were before their marriage Miss Consuelo Vanderbllt and Miss Zimmerman of Cincinnati, will find the proper golden head dress all ready for them, as other duchesses of Marlborough and Manchester have appeared at corona tions. It la true that these coronets have been recently done over, burnished, re capped and refurred, and It ought to be a comfort to a duchess to realize that she wears a really truly golden crown, while all the lesser peeresses wear mere silver (lit. ' , It la at the earl marshal's office that all these detail are regulated and it Is the business of bis grace of Norfolk to see that everybody's coronet Is trimmed and worn according to stern and exact regula tions. For instance, a duchess' crown must be chased as Jeweled, surmounted by eight golden strawberry leaves; ita cap must be of crimson velvet, turned up with ermine and finished by a golden tassel. The man tle that goes with this Is of crimson velvet, edged with ft five-Inch wide border of mini ver pure, and the train must fall two yards on the ground. For Other Grand Dames. Just ft trifle lees splendid than tbs cor onet of the duchess Is that worn by a marchioness, and so far we shall have only one pretty American woman to represent this branch of the peerage. She will be the Marchioness of Bufferln, nee Flora Da vis of New York. Her coronet Is of sil ver (lit, Chssed as Jeweled, surmounted by five (lit strawberry leaves alternating 'V'''eU;.Wn JL A W ft 1 BY A WEINGARTEN BROS. ftMfva KudutMtrfCM is a wta 377-379 Brdwsy.

The mantle to accord with this must be of orlmion Telvet, but Its pure miniver edging esn be only four Inches wide and the train must be one-fourth of a rrd ahorter than that of a duchess' robe. In point of elaborate eplendor a coun tess1 coronet ts the most showy worn by sny titled lady. It is like the marchioness', of silver gilt, chased as Jeweled, but sur mounted by eight silver balls raised upon points, with golden strawberry leaves be tween the points; a cap of crimson velvet, turned up with ermine, tberon a golden tassel. The crimson velvet mantle has only a three-Inch edging of pure miniver and the train goes only a yard and a halt on the ground, and unless some special honors are distributed by the king before the coronation, only five American coun tesses will exploit these coronets. These are the countesses of Essex, Craven, Dun more, Egremont and Tankerville, who will adequately illustrate types of beauty from several of the states. The countesses will show sixteen sil ver balls set on silver gilt bands, that are also chased as Jeweled, while the caps, tassels and fur circles are the same as those on duchess' coronet. Their crimson velvet maatels, however, can only sweep the ground for one-naif of a yard, and the miniver edging must be but two inches vlde. Lady Curson and Lady Newborough must wear the coronets of baronesses, and In comparison with those of the marchionesses and countesses, they can best be described as neat, but not gaudy. Only six silver balls ornament the silver gilt band, above which puffs out the crimson velevt cap with Its golden tassel and turn-up of er mine. A baronesses' crimson velvet mantle trails but three feet on the ground, and her miniver trimming must measure ex actly two Inches In width. Altogether a baroness Is the least resplendent peeress at a coronation, but then, she Is glorious creature In comparison with the wife of a baronet, an honorable, or a knight Theae unfortunate ladles can wear neither cor onets nor crimson velvet mantles, and, according to the sentiment of the moment, six silver balls and three feet of train are far preferable to no balls and no velvet. Settllas; a Vexed Question. Since coronets and court robes have be come of such vast importance, agitated femininity, as represented In the British peerage, has been excitedly discussing the ways and means of 'wearing coronets as easily and gracefully as possible. As everybody knows, the coronet must bs popped on at that pyschologtcal moment when the archbishop of Canterbury tits the crown of England on the head of King Ed ward. The peeresses csrry their coronets In their bands to the Abbey, holding the gaudy trifles by two little straps sewed on Just Inside the ermine band; and what the overwrought duchess, etc., wished to know wss bow these gilt and velvet caps could be made to stay on, when Fashion, mightier than kings, has announoed that the hair must be worn low. "Can any peeress be expected to remain mistress of herself, though her coronet fall?" Is what an American duchess, laughingly asked the queen, who smilingly replied: "Certainly not," and then her majesty solved the problem by announcing J EfiEtT FORM V wtf, COSSETS!

Cl'LTIVATISQ THE VOICE. Method of Carina- Varloas Imperfec tions Explained. NEW TORK. March 28. Professors of voice training are now found In all large cities. Women specialists visit patients at their homes and achieve gratifying results with young children and nervous patients. Modem parents not only desire health and education for their children, but try to se cure for them that subtle charm of. voice rich toned and cultivated, which carries with it such Individuality and power. To one person seeking to be trained for public speaking there are a dozen wanting to be relieved of hindrances to the voice In everyday use," said a profes sor. "I get scores of letters and gifts from men and women whom I have helped con quer a voice Infirmity. No case Is un dertaken without the patient's agreeing to follow instructions to the letter and under standing that time, patience and determina tion are the main factors In the cure. The young man who went out Just now Is under treatment for a phenomenal voice, a voice that he can't depend on for ft moment, and which nobody can hear for the first time without laughing. He ssys he dreads to peak to his friends In the street, because uncertain how his voice will sound", whether It will be falsetto, bass or the thinnest squeak In the top register. At times when be particularly desires to speak firmly and decidedly he is apt to go off In a quavering treble. And when at social entertainments he wanta to use low, gentle tones his voice comes out gruff and forbidding. As a law tudent of considerable ability his voice Is ft great drawback. He ts In training here half an hour each day systematically, even Sundays and holidays. I expect to put him In possession of tones which will allow of his addressing a Jury or inviting ft girl to dance with the same absolute control of his voice. "A club woman 60 years old is seeking cure for a lisp. She Is intellectual and Interested In public affairs, but to hear her make an address with that lUp you wouldn't credit her with an Idea. She has resolved to undergo any prescribed discipline that will banish the trouble. Another ambi tious club member Is having her voice strengthened In order to speak in louder, clearer tonea than she now commands. Min isters who have injured their voices from overstrain and those whose tones are gut- teral or nasal come to be relieved of the difficulty. "I am now creating a voice In a woman whose faculty of speech has been paralyzed. She could acarcely utter a sound when her husband brought her here. Young, educated and of good mind, she had been deprived through Illness of all means of expression. By practicing with me dally she will event- TOILET FOR A CHURCH WEDDING. ually recover her vocabulary. Of all suf ferer the ata mering patients most enlist my sympathy. One of next week's brides is a pupil whom I cured of stammering sfter she was 20, and regarded as Incurable. I insisted on her coming regularly for les sons and resolving to conquer. Now her Impediment is hardly perceptible. A pe culiar case waa that of a young stammerer whose father had bequeathed him a dye shop. He said his trade was falling oft on account of his bungling talk. Garments being submitted for treatment he had to explain whether they need be ripped apart or left whole, the colors that the particular material would best take, whether the but tons and trimmings should be removed, etc. To pronounce the words "rip" and "but tons" was agony to him. He Is now almost cured. Stammering Is sometimes the result of illness affecting the throat, sometimes AN IDEAL COSTUME FOR A an Inheritance or engendered by children mimicking persons so afflicted. Certain trainers attempt to cure stammering by making tho patient mark time between ut terances, as is done in a music class. I con demn this method as ungraceful and use a successful system of my own. "Familiarity with the principles of health and the conditions tbat affect the nerves and muscles of speech is essential to the voice culturlst. Indistinctness is sometimes due to carelessness or to a want of self confidence or self-assertion. There are sub jects the roof of whose mouth Is too high to promote correct utterance and they must learn to allow for this defect. Some people, while appreciating the expression that should be given to sentences, lack control over their mouth muscles. The words come out headlong without modulation or empha sis and leave no impression on the listener. All faults can be corrected by the exertion of the individual will under proper train ing. An astonishing number of young chil dren have defective voices or trloks of speech. So many are brought to me that I can easily guess the number who are being neglected.; and lessons in breathing are an Important feature In all cures." WOMAN'S ISBVES SHOIXDER9. Said to Be Caused by Having; to Hold tp a Heavy Trnln. "Have you," said one woman to another in the course of a walk through the shop ping district, "noticed how crooked women are getting to be? Look at some of the women who pass us, and see it the right shoulder Is not almost Invariably lower than the other." The other woman looked, and lo! it was so. "It Is the natural result of always having s train to hold up," said the first woman. "Why will women cling to such unreason able fashions? A train is graceful only when allowed to sweep the ground, and we cannot let it do that In the dirty streets, consequently we are everlastingly clutching It to keep It from the pavement, and the position this necessitates la so constantly assumed that the right shoulder is becom ing lower than the other. If the thing con tinues the boasted carriage of the Ameri can girl will soon be an empty boast in deed. The only remedy for the present, the only hope for the future, is to leave off trailing skirts and go to a gymnasium. There, under the direction of competent teacher, one who knows how to cure Just such defects, train, and never stop until you ar straight again. For and Abont Women. Miss Ethel Lorlmer. the 13-year-old daughter of ex-Conaressman Lorlmer of Illinois, has composed an "Ave Maria" which la said to be verv creditable and Is being sung In Catholic churches In Chicago. Miss Leola Stldham. a Creek Indian girl, a student at llanlln college. Chicago, has been selected sponnor for the Indian Terri tory dlvltilon of the United Confederate Veterans at the reunion to be held at Dal las, Tex., April 22. Unlike some otner European soverelrns. Queen Wllhelmlna of Holland can leave her dominions when she pleases. Th only obligation tmnosed upon her In this respect ' Is that she shall spend at least ten davs of each year in Amsterdam, which Is the I real Dutch capital. The Hague being only the aeat of government. Miss Ella Rheppard Moore In the last survivor of the famous tubllee singers of Klsk university, Nashville, and Is still con nected with that Institution. As a member of the company she traveled Ave years In Europe and six years in America and has sung before Queen Victoria and many of the crowned heads of Europe. Mrs. Hetty Oreen. the richest woman In America, recently gave a banauet In Boston VERY YOUTHFUL BRIDE. to eight people, at a total cost of S2.2S, or 29 cents per plate. The bill of fare was vermicelli soup, boiled fish, boiled potatoes, lettuce salad, cake and tea. The company sat at one large table, and Mrs. Green en tertained her guests with stories and anec dotes. "Why is It." asked an lnaulsltlve cus tomer in an umbrella store, "that one can never roll up an umbrella as compactly and neatly as it ts rolled when he buys It?" "You can if you only know how." said the salesman; "but If everybody knew how It would mean leu business for us. The umbrellas would last lonaer and there would be a lot less work for the repairers. Perhaps I ought not to tell vou how," the clerk continued, "but It's so simple you should know anyhow. If vou have noticed, nearly everybody who rolls tfn an umbrella takes hold of It by the handle and keeps twisting the stick with one hand while he folds and rolls with the other hand. Now. that's Just where the mistake comes in. Instead of twisting the handle, he should take hold of it Just above the cover ribs. These points naturally lie evenly around the stick. Keep hold of these, pressing them tightly attalnst the stick, and then roll up the cover. Holding the ribs pre vents them from twlRtingout of place or bending out of shape. Then the silk Is bound to fold evenly and roll smooth and tight. Roll your umbrella this way and until It Is old enough to get rusty looking it will look as if it had Just come from the shop." Frills of Fashion. Scarfs of chiffon In pearl or Ivory tints, with applique of hand-painted black velvet, are among the spring novelties. White batiste makes charming frocks for young girls who have not yet attained to the dignity of silk and wool gowns. All belts point down in front, whatever their width. With the thin gowns, soft belts of ribbon are worn knotted at the back with two ends not much more than a quarter of ft yard long. In the line of silver novelties, but pri marily for boudoir use rather than table service, is the hatpin holder In French gray with a saucy little cupid decorating the center of the slender column. A noveltv In the petticoat line Is msde of linen, In different colors and of the same quality of which the gowns are built. A wide circular flounce, with heavy linen lace In points Inset around the edge and me dallions of embroidery scattered at inter vals all over It, is the finish, set on with a narrow insertion of embroidery. Tea sets with different flower on each cup are one fancy, and another Is the pretty vases with violet Iris P.owers on a misty gray background. Inkstands, pen trays, birds and animals In this porcelain are the fad of the moment, and to the list may be added dress buttons and flies and beetles made in porcelain for the heads of hatpins. Some of the new French walking or "cos tume" Jackets of soft tan, antelope, nun'a gray or biscuit cloth have revere and turn down collars faced with white oloth over laid with silk passementeries In green, black or dark brown or else the collar and revers are sprinkled with French knots in one of these colors, wrought with heavy buttonhole twist. One of the conspicuous features of the new gowns is the belt which Is as varied aa the figure on which It la worn. It Is made of silk striped around with black velvet ribbon, the two combined forming tab ends at the back, or of plain silk or soft ribbon without the velvet, draped a trifle wider at the back and sometimes forming a rounded point. Piques are shown this season In a greater Variety of effects than ever, Including the so-called robe patterns, which bid fair to have a summer of unexampled popularity. A stylish model of soft pale blue pique has embroidered figures In white. The skirt cut In panels shows round the foot an un derskirt of finely tucked, plain blue pique. The sailor collar of the same Is edged with a band of the white embroidery, also the vest and lower part of the sleeves. For the taffetas, crepes do chene and other soft, light fabrics that are so much used for dressy spring gowns a princess effect is almost a necessity for the matron who wishes to be really smart. These gowns are long and sweeping. Some of them have a prlncesse back, made of side pleats running from the top to the bottom of the skirt, the pleats flaring toward the hem to form the fulness of the skirt. The fronts finish at the belt to form a blouse Bnd bolero effect and all sorts of fancy embroideries, basket braids or ribbons ara used to trim them. By MARGARET I RftlGGS. (All Rights It Is really astonishing how runny of tlie thlnjrs that ninke life miser able manifest themselves In the back. This Is, of course, more especially true of women, because there nre so ninny more thinpR about a woman's or ganism that effect the nerves controlling the blood circulation of the back. With women a uerve center Is more than half the time a storm center, and the nerve centers, which hnve the greatest controlling iufluence, are located where the Immediate radiation Is In, the region bordering tho spinal cord. Men, of course, have weak backs sometimes, but you won't find a man ex periencing those long stretches of hopeless weariness and misery known as backache. There are women, and I know several such, who have put In whole years of their Uvea suffering from a backache which has acarcely let up Its grip an hour, day or night. Describe It as vividly as you please, one cannot make plain the full misery of backache to another who haa never been troubled with It. I had a siege with It for several months and I know what It means. I also understand how happy the women are who tlud means to rid themselves of It A singular thing about backache Is that It Is frequently taken for rheu matism or lumbago, and treated with surface applications, such as liniments and plasters, which really make It a good deal worse, because they Increase the Inflammation within. The real article tn the way of a woman's backache" always comes from something of a serious nature In the kidneys or uterine region, and It la wholly true that nothing will stop the backache while the inflammation ex ists. True, too. It Is that to cure this condition nature must have most In telligent aid. Doctors bungle over backache continually, as. Indeed, they do over most of women's troubles. Whether It Is because women do not make their symptoms plain to them or because they are pnzr.Ied by the great va riety of symptoms, I never could understand; certain, however, It Is that the women I know who have been trying for years to get rid of backache have gone to a doctor right along, and none of them have been benefited by tho treatment. I have heard, too, of so many other women having this same experience that I think there Is something about women's diseases difficult for a physician to diagnose and treat In a general way, backache la a sort of neuralgia fed constantly from a storm center In the kidneys or uterug. It Is a nervous trouble which sets up an Irregularity u the circulation, clogging some of the blood cells or vessels or veins, with an Instant and constant Inflammation. Nor can you stop this Inflammatory process without you bring the nerves to a normal state, and the difficulty of finding the right medicine for a woman's nerves Is the rock on which the doctor's efforts usually come to grief. There Is little doubt In my mind that the reason Lydia Plnkham'a Com pound Is so effective In curing backache (a because Ita action Is on the or gans which control the movement of the1 blood. There Is no question that Mrs. rinkham's medicine la a great thing for women who have any disorder of the feminine organs or any backache or nervousness, so that there must be a logical reason for Its good work. I know a great many women don't want to take Lydia E. Plnkham'a Vegetable Compound for the absurd reason that It Is bo well known, and the equally absurd reason that it Is advertised. Then, too, they dislike to ask for It at the drug store. I have always noticed, however, that when a woman buys her first bottle of this medicine she Is so much Improved by it that sho continues the medicine for several bottles and becomes thoroughly enthusiastic about the help it has been to her. I think all women with backache might take a hint from this and make the small effort necessary to test Mrs. Plnkham'a medclne, for It does what no other treatment doea I ever knew about and certainly what no ordi nary physician's treatment does It atops backache. It haa to my knowl edge cured some distressing cases of It and I have beard and read of many more. c You cannot well Ignore these well known facts about this medi cine If you really want to get rid of that eternal ache. It doea cure others, thousands of, others; why not you? , A SKIN OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER D' I. T.
