SIDE TALKS
That Voice of Yours
BY RUTH CAMERON

low often tho spell of beauty is rudely broken by coarse loud talking! How often you arc irresistably drawn to plain unassuming woman whose soft silvery tones render her posi- lively attractive! In the social circle how pleasant 1t is to hear a woman talk in that low key which always characterizes the true lady."-Lamb.
 Two young grls standing in front of me in a trolley the other day were talking to each other in . perfectly natural manner. Their voices were pleasant natural young voices.
 A third girl, who was evidently known to ono of these girls but not to the other. got on tho car. She greeted her friend and was duly in- troduced to tho other girl.
 They Talked As If They Had Hot
 Potatoes In Their Mouths.
 The three then took up the oonvsrsa- ton but oh, what . difference there was in tho manner of the first twol If I had had my eyes shut would have known that something had happened.
 All their pleasant natural tones were gone. They talked, as . mascu- line friend of mine who detests affec- tation, puts it ''as if they had hot po- tatoes in their mouths.'
 What a flexible thing the voice Is!
 And what an excellent index to character. and personality and edu- cationl
 Constructing the Person From the
 Sound of His Voice.
 It is interesting to sit in 3 trolley car and listen to people talking be- hind you and construct the typo of person from the voice. And how sel- dom you are entirely niStaken! Did

you ever. for instance, nnd one of those rough, uneducated, uncontrolled voices dressed in anything but the latest and loudest and cheapest of styles:
 Sometimes however, the voice stands for Q past rather than a pres- ent personality. You know what they say about tho eyes and mouth,-the mouth shows what you are, the eyes what you might have been. In the same way, think you will occasionally md people whose voices still reflect the good blood and good upbringing from which they themselves have fal- len away.
 His Voice Refused to Forget.
 For instance. I know a man who over tho telephone impresses you most favorably. His voice is so charm ing and he has that rare gift,-a laugh you long to hear again. When you see him you ind a loose Ipped. rather coarse face. . heavy fiabby body and . general suggestion of the taint of grosenesA I asked someone about his history and found that he was from a splendid family. The voice alone re- fused to forget.
 A good voice Is the best of intro- ducttons to any society. Add to this 2 good carriage, good grooming and boise of manner and you need not dread that bugbear of so many of us. meeting new people.
 And the best of it is that none of these things are like our faces,- thrust upon us. They are things we can get for ourselves, if we will.-' in its fullest sense.

says, 81 am the light of the world;
he that followeth me shall not walk
i'm the darkness, but shall have the
light of life" I'm the second verse

that had become so interested i'm his
teachings. There were also those who
had failed in their attempt to appre-
bend him the previous day. They did
not, or at least pretended not to be-

Justify those i'm coming who desired to
hear him, but also to announce to his
enemies that they were entirely mis-

Sun. the monarch of the day, was just
rising when we see Jesus refer to
himself as the light of the world. No
doubt these words rang i'm the memory
of both his friends and enemies ever
after as they would see the morning
glow i'm the eastern sky. Just as the
Sun dispcIs darkness, so does Christ
dispel doubts and fears from the
hearts of men. We have the oppor-
