DON'T TALK SO LOUD.

An Excellent Thing In Woman. Says Solo
mon. ID . Low Voice.
Truly an excellent thing in q woman
is low voice, even as Solomon wrote
three thousand years ago. and yet how
very few American girls possess it! A
cultivated, low-toned voice gives more
pleasure, affords more qualification even
than music; and although our climate
seems to deny to our women the silvery,
melodious voices one hears SO often in
England, surely every girl can avoid tho
loud, strident, disagreeable tones one so
often hears even among the well-born
and the well-bred.
