The serge frock has an inoffensive

LEARN TO SPEAK WITH EASE

cd than to attempt to speak extempo
raneouSly, and to follow no particular
order or thought 1t is painful for al
audience to watch speaker who i!
lose what he is going to say next. i
notes are prepared certain degree ot
preparation is insured, and even the or
ganizing and assembling of the ideas in
logical sequence will be great help SC
that a mere glance at the notes will be
sufficient to suggest what should come
next. Then, too, there is certain
amount of conscious support in having
notes or outlines which may be referred
to If necessary.
Little by little, as the speaker gains
control of himself and is more at ease in
addressing a number of people, he will
be able to dispense with written helps
1t is noticeable, however, that some
brilliant speakers who are called upon
constantly to address audiences and
banqueting groups do not hesitate to
hold in the hand a card which has a few
headings or significant reminders jotted
down upon it. The benefit in this is that
the speaker is held to a certain line OF
thought and reaches 4 logical conclu-
sion in reasonable time.
Most people who are beginning to
speak in public find the opening and
closing difficult. To overcome these
dreaded parts of a public speech or ad-
dress, it is a good plan to keep note
book or box of clippings of bright,
pointed stories which will serve as tell
ing illustrations or help drive home
point. Some of our most brilliant pub
lie men have won their reputation as
apt speakers, in part at least, through
having a fund OF witty anecdotes to
draw upon. These are frequently used
again and again with telling result, al
though, OF course, not before the same
audiences.
1t Is profitable and interesting study
to observe the different methods OF
opening discourses used by clergymen,
lecturers and other public speakers.
Some are simple and direct; others long
and tiresome in approaching their topic;
and still others have a unique way of
awakening immediate interest and lead
ing up with pleasing directness to their
subject.

BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

Mn ANY times people who might en-
IEs joy taking part in a program or
service fail to do so because OF
a certain nervous dread. Their own
voices sound thin and unnatural Their
hearts pound in a disturbing manner,
and thoughts and words which come
easily at other times have mysterious
vanishing quality.
Everyone is not gifted with the ability
to hold an audience spellbound, but
there are few people who can not learn
to express themselves well and convinc-
ingly on their feet if they will but give
the matter little thought and attention,
and be willing to gain practice by TAX
ing their part whenever opportunity
presents.
Perhaps the first thing of all to learn
is breath control, for this makes for
calmness, poise and 4 resonant quality
of voice. An individual who speaks
with thin, mufhed tones which do not
carry more than few feet away is sad
y handicapped, no matter how brilliant
his thoughts may be The throat muscles
and vocal cords have a purpose of their
own. Their work is to mold the voice,
shaping it in sympathy with the thoughts
held in the brain and seeking expression
through audible sound. The carrying
quality and the ability to regulate the
volume and pitch come from the breath
control, and SO they have no reserve
force, and the slightest nervous excite
ment causes quickened pulses and
sense OF restriction about the throat.
1t is an excellent plan to practice a
carefully-outlined series of deep breath
ing exercises before an open window
night and morning, getting complete
control of the abdominal muscles, the
the back and the rib cage,
also accustoming the lungs to long.
deep inhalations. The singer and the
speaker must both master the same
principles in order to develop voice
which will be clear and pleasing
1t is necessary also before attempting
to speak to have clear-cut ideas regard
ing the subject to be discussed Many
speakers fail because they depend upon
The readiness of their wits to guide
hem and as a result they ramble or
'tammer and halt painfully 1t is much
better for the amateur speaker to have
