WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

AMERICAN GIRLS VOICE-Is
there anything in all one hears about
the American girls voice7 I have
never travelled enough to know how
true the criticism is. How can the
voice be improved if it is bad?--Alice.
The voice Of the American girl is Sc
verely and justly criticised. The high
pitched nasal tones, the harsh twang,
are not pleasant and show decided
lack Of culture. Are you careful as to
the quality Of your voice, careful in cul-
tivating well-mod ulated tonesq You
can overcome defects in speaking by
perseveriag effort. You can practice
speaking from the throat, not thru the
nose, and can learn to enunciate dis
tinctly. A singer studies for years in
order to cultivate her voice, an actress
practices continually to render her voice
agreeable. Even a hard, shrill voice
may be transformed to flexible, pleas
ant one in time.

Furs In Combination.

Combinations Of furs are especially
