AMERICAN woMEN's VOICES.

The voice of the average woman
about us is not pleasant; it is not
round and flute-like said DR.. G. w.
Shimm In recent address. A harsh,
strident quality is taking the place of
the low, soft, rich quality which be-
longs to them, and which all might
have if they sought it. One reason is
the lack of proper training as girls
grow up. and another is the odd habit
many have of talking each other down,
not waiting for the completion of SEN
fences, but piling up unfinished SEN
fences, and unconsciously raising the
voice in the effort to do so.
