WOMAN'S WORLD

You have a most musical voice." said
the expert in character reading by the
voice, and its vibrations show great ver-
satility and adaptibility of character. 1t
is sympathetic and proves You to be a
person who can be trusted"
He went on in a most agreeable strain
for half an hour or so, giving me the most
complimentary reading. Then 1 asked
him to point out my most g~revious faults.
He was quite equal to the eccasion-too
much for comfort, and read them to me
most accurately. Iasked him for an ex-
PLANTATION of this new and strange method
of procedure.
There is nothing new about it to the
student of human nature in a scientific
sense" he said. THE only oddly is in
reading the voice without seeing the Wis
itor. TIN voice tells many a tale out of
school. I would now like to see you, If you
will kindly step this side of the screen.
1 lost no time in complying with this re-
quest, and found a tall, slender man with a
dark, but clear, olive complexion, as
smooth and round as the face of a man of
thirty, but surmounted by deep iron grey
hair.
He wore a Persian costume of a single
garment reaching to the floor and with
flowing sleeves, all thickly embroidered in
gold thread with and occasional setting OF
gems. His head was covered with a tall
cap similarly ornamented. His piercing
eyes seemed to look right through me. l
wondered if they were not capable of
looking through the screen.
'sThis 1 do entirely by the vibrations of
the voice. he answered. These vibrations
are distinctive with each individual and, If
properly studied will give an accurate CON-
ception of your character. There are no
two voices exactly alike. No matter how
similar. they all vary in some particular.
They differ as widely as people differ.
ITO be less technical 1 would say that
the voice must be analysed scientifically,
and 1 take into consideration its general
tone, depth, pitch. quality, and the COM
parative vibrations of each, relatively con-
sidered. OF course. the sixth sense, intu-
ition, also comes in for a sense of the
credit"
81 would like to obtain a sensitive intu-
ition,', 1 said. "It would save me from
making many mistakes in life. How is it
cultivated?'
II would like very much to know how
you can tell me so accurately about my
self by simply hearing my voice for the
first time, myself out of sight?" 1 said.
"As the cultivation of a quick intuition
is also acquired with the cultivation of a
magnetic voice, both of which would help
YOU materially in business, as well as So
cially," he answered. 81 will give you a
little outline that will serve to show you
in a general way how to begin properly.
The food you eat. the air you breathe.
the water you drink. all feed the blood
action of the blood being thus accelerated
and flowing through the body by means of
that great pump, the heart, every three
minutes, generates electricity to feed the
nerves.
when the blood c~irculates freely it gen.
crates more thai enough electricity to
feed the nerves. and the surplus escapes
from the body and forms a magnetic
circle or halo about you.
The more surplus the electricity the
stronger are all the senses, and the great
er the vibrations of the voice as well. The
impressions / gain are through making a
study of these vibrations first of all. 1t IS
merely through making a study of these
vibrations of the voice that I am able to
read the general characteristics and ten
denotes of people.
IT also read from Intuition, or the sixth
sense.
Everybody possesses this sixth sense,
but the great trouble is they do not know
how to utilize it. Some people utilize ii
unconsciously and are very successful in
business or social enterprises without
knowing why. 1t is simply a way they
have. They think they were born lucky,
and so they were.
THE person who wields the most power
over others can command various tones of
the voice, which bring invariable success
to the individual who knows how to use
1t. The voice can be cultivated to a large
extent. but there is always something
about it which will invariably reveal the
real character. Some actresses have tried
to play tricks upon me, but they have
signally failed"
Shall one dress for dinner every day,
asks Harper's Bazaar" The custom of
making dinner to some extent a meal Of
ceremony has a great deal to be said in its
favor. In town life most people dine at
the end of the day. when business and
care are behind them, when they have
time to enjoy their food in a leisurely
manner. and also to unbend and give
themselves up to pleasant talk, agreeable
jesting, and happy social intercourse.
Of course one makes a special and, if
possible, a beautiful toilet when going to
dine with friends; but also in ones own
house, and at the ordinary evening meal,
it Is a sensible plan to make a change IN
ones dress as shall mark the dividing
line between work and play. A lady will
please her family by keeping an appro-
pirate gown. not perhaps too formal or
ella borate, but still beautiful and becoming,
which she may, as a rule, wear to dinner.
Her husband may well pay her the COM
pliment of exchanging his business suit
for a dinner coat. and of sitting down to
his own table with an air of leisure and
dignity incompatible with business clothes.
The young people of the house are the
better for constantly recognizing the
claims of politeness in so often Recurring
a thing as this. In we'll bred households
even the children are encourag .d-are, in
deed. obliged-always to come every
meal with their hands and faces immacu
late and their clothing in good order; blu,
more than this is required of those who
are grown up, and the custom of dressing
for dinner. which implies an evening
spent afterward in music or agreeable So
cial conversation, is one to be recon-
mended.
A lady almost always has on hand an
old gown which. by the addition of a
