The Human Voice.

Nothing betrays so much as the
voice save perhaps the eyes, but
they can be lowered. and So far the
expression hidden. In moments
ofemotion no skill can hide the
fact of disturbed feeling, though !;
strong will and habit Of self control
can steady the voice when else it
would be failing and trenulous.
Certain voices CRATE on the nerves
and set our teeth on edge, and
others are just as calming as they

it is always conscious and never
