British Hope to Avoid More

LONDON, Dec. 24,-If President Will
son during intimate conversations with
British statesmen devotes himself en-
tirely to the league of nations, there
is reason to believe he Will be warmly
encouraged, especially if more awkward
subjects are thereby avoided. Undoubt-
edly beneath the surface there has
been a considerable increase in the
tension regarding Russia in the past
few days. Some well informed persons
believe that America has not only
threatened but is really inclined to
withdraw her troops from Russia, an
event which will cause considerable
embarrassment.
It is incorrect to say that it is hoped
that the courtesy which is part of Mr..
Wilson's visit VIII head of discussions
which are unwelcome On the con-
trary, intimate talks may help to pre-
vent divergencies.
Full Exchange of Views
Friday will be the most important
day of Mr.. Wilson's visit here, when
he lunches at Downing Street with
Premier Lloyd George, for ga full
and free exchange of views" although
the two statesmen will probably have
frequent opportunities for meeting
otherwise.
Saturday will be a very full day. 1t
is hoped that before the President goes
to the Guildhall he will be able to re-
ceive the addresses of American So
cieties in London, and perhaps also the
labor representatives interested in the
league of nations, although the institu-
tions anxious to present addresses and
pay their respects to the President are
so numerous that a strict censorship
has already been imposed.
The guests at the Guildhall will num-
ber $50. Owing to the asseveration OF
loyalty in the oath that must be taker
on receiving the freedom of the city
it will be impossible to offer President
Wilson the freedom of the city, ad
dresses of welcome being substituted
as in the case of ex-President Roosevelt
The gold box will be presented, never
theless. Manchester and Carlisle are
anxious to offer their freedom.
About seventy of the most eminent
men in Britain will be present at the
government banquet at Lancaster House
on Saturday evening. The President
will proceed to the North CT England
Immediately the function is concluded

If you have not a good voice, you
have deliberately neglected a tre-
mendous advantage on the high road
to success, and one that is within
the grasp of everybody.
From the beginning of time poets
have sung of the music of women S
voices and, incidentally, given the
sex a highly valuable tip in regard
to one of its most fascinating at
tributes. Nothing makes so strong
an appeal to the emotions as a beau

happy possessor and yet, how many
women stab the ear with the raucous
tones of their voices?
Actresses of no very great ability

CHAPTER XII


Douglas Wade's line of reasoning
only proved the truth that a man in
love sees all things from his own
particular angle of vision.
Had this been otherwise he would
have appreciated that Elizabeth
could take no pleasure in revealing
her identity to the man to whom she
had for weeks now posed as Lizzie
Moore"
He would also have understood
that the news of his engagement
would change the whole future out
look for her.
But the happy lover did not COM
prehend this. He could not.
AS once before, his letter to his
sister was addressed direct to her,
not inclosed in an envelope to Amos
Chaplin. Douglas would have argued
that there was no longer need for
secrecy, as Butler would soon know
the truth.
In his letter to Elizabeth, Doug
las informed her that Alicia was
writing to her brother announcing
her betrothal. Johns mother was
also writing to him about it
II have confessed to them the
scheme of which you and 1 have
been guilty" Douglas wrote, They

ground, you are the best Judge of

quire good voices are Immediately
married for them, and travel in linn
cuisines ever after.
Parents with excellent voices seem
so often deaf to this failing in their
children. An ambitious mother will
allow a daughter to go through
childhood and youth with a pierre
ing voice that is enough to make
angels weep. Every one who hears
the girl realizes what a handicap she
is cultivating for life, and yet ma
ternal affection hears in it nothing
but E-usic.
Girls with bad vol should be
made to take elocution or singing
lessons until the refractory organ
is properly placed and they have
learned to. enunciate correctly. 1t
would be better for their future pros
perity if such girls had fewer
clothes, fewer amusements, and the
money thus saved spent on voice cul-
ture.
Good firms very carefully consid-
er the voices of the women they en-
ploy. Naturally, they prefer to have
themselves represented over the
telephone by women who convey a
sense of cultivation, rather than by
someone who suggests she is about
to do turn on the vaudeville stage
that begins by shifting her cud of
chewing gum and inquiring, "Whad-
da you want?"
A short time ago an advertisement
appeared in one of the great New
York dailies for a "gentlewoman
with an agreeable telephone voice"
and the notice went on to state
that liberal compensation would be
paid the applicant who could fur
nish these qualifications.
Good Voice Needed in Business
A good voice is even more valu-
able in business than in society.
Your own corner of the world may
accept you for a variety of reasons
because you are rich. pretty
agreeable, or an important mans
wife. But business is relentless
