ren for instance; they don't pay much attention to our words; what we say: they judge of our intents and purposes by our voices; and strange as 1t may seem, some of the best ways of culti- vating the human voice in conversa- tion is not to think about it. Actions become regal only when they are un- conscious; and the voice convinces- that holds us captive-that leads and lures us on-is used by its owner un- consciously. Fix your mind on the thought and your voice will follow. If you fear you are not being understood you are losing the thought-it is skip ping away from you. and if you are thinking of the voice, then your voice rises to a screech-subsides into a purr-or bellows like the vagrant winds! Anxiety and intent are shown and your case is lost! If you fear you will not be understood you probably will not. If the voice is allowed just to come naturally, easily gently. re- sonantly it will soon take on every emotion and tint of the mind"
 "A mother can do more toward mak- ing her child's voice perfect of course than anybody else" said the mere man. and then he told me this little story:
 ''The girl had borrowed the baby of her hostess and the two, bud and blos- som of femininity, were sitting upon grass mat beneath shadowing trees, playing with rose. The twitter of birds was about them and after awhile the voice of the girl and the cooing. note of the baby mingled with the symphony of the birds.
 Say mamma, baby" directed the girl
 The baby looked first bewildered, then wise, then suddenly thrust the rose with engaging sweetness into the smiling face bending above her.
 Say mamma, mamma" coaxed the girl.
 The baby puckered up it's dimpled lips, essayed to twist its tiny red tongue, but dulcet coo was the only result.
 Mamma, mamma" persisted the teacher gently, and mamma" suddenly and clearly echoed the baby voice. Then
