READING TO INvALIDs.
Difficulty in Finding Voices Soothing
 to Nervous Patients.

Difficulty in Finding Voices Soothing
 to Nervous Patients. New York Sun.
 There is one accomplishment that self sGPSHrns sePre ssaS tired T9a Soeto do asd Sd that is reading aloud. For people who are convalescing or suffering from a slow, tedious ailment, know of no attention more beneficial than occasional enteTtain- ment of this kind. recommended 1t for all my patients, hut l often have trouble In filling my own prescription for the sin- ple reason that 1t is hard to find a per sen sitive nerves of an invalid.
 In, the homes of the well-io-do one would naturally expect to find the women of the family possessed of voices So well modulated that their reading would be a pleasure to the ear; but in reality such Is seldom the case. Invariably, when l antidote to pain and weariness, the pa tisnt replies with the question, But who is going to do the readlnE?''
 The upshot of the matter Is that. I volunteer to send somsbody in to read for an hour or 20 each day, and then 1t Is up to me to provide the reader. This Is not easy to do, for while very few na- are stiii fewer who are fitted to dispeI the ted!um of a sick room by turning themselves into professional readers. Not infrequently find voices whose tones are the test of reading. find that they pro- nounce badly. infect still worse. and, in short fail to get any meaning out of the at the gist of it for themselves, but they totally fail to convey 1t to another.
 Tt behooVes women to set about ef- fecting combination of the grsces of a pleasant, expressive voice, correct pro- nunciation,. and quick perception of the meaning of a phrase: If they will &C., accomplish this task they will find agree able work to do.'
