TO charm man or woman When
you are with them, when you have
voice, eyes, tricks Of speech-in a
word, personalities easy enough.
TO retain your charm when you have
only your voice, is another matter.
Yet, telephoning is so much a part OF
modern social and business Inter-
course to-day, that 1t is a pity no
one has published q book on tele-
phone etiquette. e.
Modulate your voice as much as
possible, speaking from the chest
rather than the head-to borrow q
singers phrase, using chest tones. A
low voice carries better, has no nasal
suggestion and is infinitely pleas
