SINGING.

* . * Madam de Jouvencel, of Paris, claims tbat three things to-day militate against vocal beauty and ita durability. • . • In the first place women sing while too young. Growth does not cease till 24 or 25. All that a woman sends forth from herself before that time cuts off just so much from either brillianoy or endurance. * . ■ The larynx is not developed till 25. All exertion, especially undue exertion, takes so much from the value of that organ later OQ. ' . • Then, toe, singers now, especially girl students, all sing out too much and too long. Besides these things, she says, the eating of much meat is detrimental to the voioe.
