MIRIAM OF 'OUTCAST
SAYS BEAUTIFY VOICE
Elsie Ferguson Urges the De-
veIopment of Speaking
Voice

Now that many professors or English
in our coIIeges-notabIy Brander Mat
thews-seem bent upon yulgarizins the
language. the stage may find its true and
highest mission" in preserving the beau
ty of the tongue. There are many ways
to assist. but ono OF the greatest is the
cultivation OF refined and cultured
speaking voice.
1T is every wOman's duty to make her
world as beautiful as she can." says Miss
Elsie Ferguson in "Outcast''
IT should make it almost a criminal
offense for a woman to have a harsh.
unpleasant speaking voice. There is alb
solutely no excuse for it, because any
voice can be made reasonably pleasant
and agreeable unless there is an abso-
Lutte physical defect in the formation
Few women seem to pay any attention
to their daughters speaking voices, and
certainly the younger generation enunci-
ates SO badly and uses such a meaGre
variety OF words that the young girls
and boys who have had good educations
find it simpler to talk in the expressive
slang OF the day and pay very little at
leHllpn 10 tINSllSn as IL Is SpOheN.
Children should be taught to speak
carefully and 10 pronounce every word
distinctly. There should be breath enough
behind the voice 10 support and make it
carry without straininS the vocal cords,
and there should be the constant re-
minder at home that it is worth while
having pleasant voice. even il one never
expects to sing.
Girls reiterate the same adjectives
time after time because they have no
choice OF words. For instance: Isn't II
lovely?' a pet phrase used with equal
enthusiasm about a baby. d new hat, a
box of candy. magnificent SIw or a
beefsteak. How can one incl e ones
vocabulary? Why. by reading. CI course.
and by committing such pieces of verse
or prose to memory as appeal especially
to the imagination and are particularly
fine examples OF the English language.
1.-The quality Of the voice is cultivated
by listening and paying attention to ones
own tones and learning to discriminate
between beautiful and ugly sounds Few
people take the trouble to speak in n
pleasing voice. Voice culture is one of
the most neglected parts OF the average
girls education. The woman cannot be
really charming who has not an agree
able speaking voice.
