- Notes

An interesting article on vocal cul
ture and its students from the pen of
Lester $. Butler appears I'm ''rhe Mu-
siclan" for August. The author thinks
the prevailing idea that training of
the voice should be limited TO profess
sional or professional or even
amateur musicians Is a fallaey II would
be we'll to remedy. The value OF such
training In producing a refined and
resonant voice, the sort of q voice
capable OF carrying conviction with It's
,utterances Is inestimable.
The American woman has long
borne the odium heaped upon her by
her sisters abroad OF a raucous and
harshly penetrating quality of speech.
That the accusation Is not without
foundation may be readily ascertalned
by preserving a dignl6ed silence In
the midst of a social event where
feminine excitement Is at its highest
key There Is nothing OF the English
= womans murmurlng laugh or the
French woman's contagious sparkle
about the sterotyped cackle of the
American woman. Life for her Is
such series OF mad whirlings that
she loses her poise and with IL the
mysterious air of femininity which
hedges her about, TO the JOY and YET
the despair of the opposite sex.
