The Motor Horn.

The suggestion made the other day
that the motorist, in the interest of
the public safety, should be deprived
of his horn, had something in it of
the quality of paradox, but it is evil
dent that it also had in it something
of the quality Of truth. In some
places horn blowing by motorists is
a nuisance, and, speaking of it, the
secretary of. the Automobile Club
has Just said to an interviewer: Let
me tell you emphatically that the
less horn blowing there is the more
consid crate and careful will be the
driving" He also says that there
is far too much blowing Of motor
horns, and declares himself ready to
undertake a motor journey from the
East End of London to the West and
not blow the horn once. "Of course"
he adds, 81 should have to slow up,
but that really does not natter In
simple fact, the part played by the
horn on many motor cars is to trans
fer all obligation to take care from
the driver to the other person. A
variant of wellknown formula
would suit his case-"I blow the
horn: you do the rest. dundee

The Telephone Voice.

An Indiana Telephone girl has won
a husband because of her sweet
voice. Doubtless the husband Is to
be congratulated, because, as high
authority has it, a voice gentle, soft
and low is an excellent thing in
woman, and is, it may be added, es-
pecially desirable in the case of the
woman who presidcs over the domes-.
tic hearth. With this example be-
fore them, and others of the kind
now and then reported, 1t might be
thought that the young women at
the telephone exchanges would en-
gage in systematic cultivation OF
sweet and musical intonation. There
Is, however, much better oppor-
tunity before them for winning popu-
larity than is to be gained by mere
vocal sweetness, and that is prompt
ness of speech and action. What
does it matter to the average tele-
phone patron whether the voice of
the operator at the switchboard Is
melodious of not If it is slow In
coming over the wire, or IL 1t is
heard, after long delay, only to drawl
"number?" and again "number?'
after more delay, and then connects
with a number quite different from
the one the patron calls. What does
it profit the telephone girl, matri-
monially of otherwise, if she calmly,
through in dulcet voice, declares to
the anxious caller that the line is
busy now" and continues so to as
sert, while the impatient man at the
other end of the wire with good
reason to know it is not busy listens
in a -frenizied state of mind to her
idle chat with her chums? Ney,
verify, 1t is not sweetness for which
the telephone subscriber yearns, but
for a swift answer to his calls and
prompt and accurate connection with
the other telephone. The voice may
be shriIl and sharp, or hoarse and
raucous, or it may be impeded by
wad of gum, but it will win favor II
1t only responds quickly. If the tcle-
phone girl cannot be both melliflu-
GUS and prompt, let her be prompt,
and she will be more likely to get
husband. than through sweetness
alone. Also she will do much to
lessen the present sum total OF un-
seemly wrath and profanity in the
community. She may, in fact, If she
will, become a great moral agent

The Age OF HcrOincS.

Is there likely, one wonders, to
be any age limit fixed for heroines?
They are getting older and older. A
contemporary recently pointed out
how completely the girl heroine has
vanished. The innocent, trustful
maiden of the old novel only had to
contend with some designing rival
or to overcome the preiudices of her
own or her lovers family.
Experience is needed for the
leading lady" of up-to-date fiction.
She must be past mistress in the
art of fascination; we want to probe
her soul. She must have a good
array of "scalps' to show; she must
be able to speak in language which
would ill become babes and such
lings. So we are advancing the age
Of this interesting person. She may
even be the mother of grown-up
children; she might in some cases
be a grandmother in the ordinary
way. But ought we not to demand
an age limit? Else where will the
novelist stop?--London World.
