No. 19.-The Voice Of Caution

The voice of the extremely cautious
person, of the downright sccrctive per-
son is. as you might expect, low
pitched voice. But every low pitched
voice is by no means the voice of eau
tion. There are n number of very diff
fcrent things indicated by low pitched
voices.
1t is not cnly low pitched. 1t is also
a soft voice. Why? Because the soft
voice is the sign, or rather the result
of self control, and naturally the eau
tious person Is self controlled.
Another point. its tones are rather
even and monotonous, and as rule
there is n tendency for the person to
talk without moving the lips great
deal.
Did you ever. in the classroom, try
to talk surrentitiously to one of your
classmates? OF course you did, and the
voice you used in doing 1t was the
voice Of caution, wasn't it? That makes
it clear, doesn't II, why the voice OF
caution is low soft, monotonous. com
ing from lips that move but slightly.
For it must be understood that the
voice of caution is one of those signals
of character which is purely acquired
It's the result of habit, not of heredity
and when judging people by this meas
ure, you must be careful to judge posi-
lively, not negatively. That is To say
don't conclude that person is not
cautious because this indication is lack
ing. But where You do see the indica
tion you can be sure that the person il
not only cautious, but extremely eau
tious. Perhaps suspicious would be q
better word.

EVERYTHING seemed dar


IL lonely and sad to Josephine.
She was only nine, the Oldest Of five
children, and her mother had been mur-
dered
The place where Josephine lived was
n dim, filthy court so narrow that you
could almost touch both sides at once
with outstretched arms.
The rest of the children played along
just about as usual, wondering some
times about where mother was and why
she didn't come home, but they were
too little to understand what It was all
about.
Josephine didn't quite understand
herself but she knew that mother had
gone to stay. and she grievcd because Of
that. and because Daddy was so sad,
and because il was up to her to keep on
going as If nothing had happened.
1t isn't easy to have the responsible
ties of family landed on you sud-
denly when you are just getting used
to the fact that you aren't the baby
any longer.
And family like this in a situation
like this is a pretty big responsibility
for anybody.
| 60 1T was a dark, dreary, unhappy
~ world for Josephine in the weeks
that followed her mothers tragic death.
Then something happened.
| A woman who had no children Of her
own and plenty Of means TO take care
of them with. asked Josephine to come
live with her.
She will give her an education, plenty
Of nice clothes, good food and much
more care than she could ever have IL
she went on mothering her mother
family.
And the little girl will have some
thing that she never would have had ir
the dark. narrow court-she will have
childhood and a girlhood, instead Of
going straight from baby days to wom'
anhood.

We are two girls. both still in our

use a little powder. but no rouge. What
we would like to know Is this: We have
