There is hardly anythingin fact,

can take the place of curdalty in the

is concerned. Fittings and furnishings

you tread may have been DIES giied and
woven by the most skilled hands in all
the world and the paintings that hang
on the walls he genuine old masters,
and yet If in the midst of all this beau
~ and elegance YOU are not met with a
cordial smile and hand-clasp. you are
conscious Of something lacking, and the
voice must sound cordially. Words
alone. no mater how we'll chosen. are
empty unless there is a true ring in the
voice. Therefore. cultivate q cordial
voice if you care to win Il little place in
the hearts of those you daily meet
