tions between the condition of the
human voice and that of the weather.
lie says that apart from the ineyita-
BILE changes in the information, puri-
iy AID strength Of the voice result
ing from physical variations, such as
illness, nervous tension and the like.
he has noted other influences of

indicate approaching changes IN the

director OF a church choir and
teacher Of singing in high school
for many years, and had ample OPP
portnnity of verifying these conclu-
sions.

My reluctant Yes and then nerved nv will
With the hope to soften its harshness down
BY new, sweet motheriiness, whose crown
Should be bribed to my brows out of all tho
chill
And emptiness you had knownl But no;
1t was set that re would not have it SO.
You win take the will for the deed, though,
Now that I'm dying? Too late these tears,
LII this budding life, to your care consigned,
Thrive not in the fondness to me denied.
Ii IS darkening! Husband, your hand-nor
These dear ones. Quick-let my neck be
twined
BY the soft armsl There-bid them kiss my
They cannot hate their step-mother now.''
