Every woman, says the illustrated
American, will acknowledge the charm
Of wellmodulated voice--yet how few
are willing to take the time. or trouble
to cultivate one, cultivation being. un-
| happily. necessary for the American wo-
man, whose voice, through heredity and
climate, is aggressivey sharp and dis
| tressingly monotonous. There are
methods for training the voice to speak
just as there are to train the voice to
sing. In this era of physical culture
l cannot understand why some one has
nat started the fad of voice cultiva-
ton" 1t is true we have broadened our
AS, but most of US have stopped there
and have expanded nothing else The
trouble is few American women know
how to breathe-which is not remarka-
Bile when one considers for how many
generations American women have been
satisfied to be absolutely inert The
new woman" what ever may be said
against her should at least be given the
credit of arousing the feminine part of

them the way to health and content

cises. But defective breathing is not the
only immediate cause for defective vo-
cality. Whatever affects unfavorably
