Selling the Loud. Voiced

You know from previous article
what the principal indication of the loud
voice is. II means great energy, COM
binod in nine cases out of ten with q
certain limit OF sympathy for others
views or SlOwncss to appreciate them.
But how should You treat the loud
voiced man if. for instance, you are
trying to sell him something?
It's easy.
You just talk back to him as loudly
as he himself talks.
Note that this case is different from
that Of the aggressive wide headed man.
You don't fight him back except as a
last resort. and even then you should
adopt method in contrast with his
own. You see, in the practice Of char
acterology you dol't always fight the
devil with fire.
But with the loud voiced man you
do. Fight" him back, so far as your
voice Is concerned. but don't lose your
temper because he's busy with his own
viewpoint. Break in and contradict
him, II necessary, but don't get angry
or pretend to be angry while doing it..
Just be earnest and emphatic. Use
emphatic gestures. Pound your fist on
the table or into tho palm Of your hand.
il necessary. You won't get the loud
voiced man to follow your thought by
a 'pussyfoot manner or way OF talk
ing. His instinct Is to class you as
.'small time" unless you talk as big
and with as much self.conndence as
himself.

Can You Tell?
Why Married Women Wear Wedding
Rings
By r. J. end A. W. Bodmer

The wedding ring Of our day is a
relic Of barbarism. 1t is claimed we
owe its origin to the Romans, but there
is a great deal of evidence to show that
It goes back as far as the early Egyp-
tians, Babylonians and Hebrews, and
even beyond that.
The wedding ring Is direct de.
scendant OF the time when wives were
bought In the days of the real cave
man wives were secured by the fight
md take method. Later some genius
discovered that buying wife was less
hazardous and this custom was later
improved by giving the bride part OF
the purchase price. As payment was
more often in the form Of goods. and
as metal was the most valuable thing
10 be had. payment was usually made in
metal and the wife was then given n
small piece. Eventually this was made
into n ring, becoming the badge Of the
married woman.
Some tribes marked their wives in
other ways. Some tattooed their faces
or other PARTS OF the body. In one tribe
in South Africa today. even, The hus-
band backs his wife up against tree
and with wedge or stone knocks out
a couple Of her front teeth.
The first bridesmaids were merely
persona! attendants upon the bride. The
senior bridesmaid or maid of honor was
with tho bride for several days before
the wedding. Her duties we're numerous.
among them that Of taking chalgc of
Mi prepnrations. decorations. making
The bridal wreath and dressing the
bride. The ushers of our modern we'd
dings we're originally armed attendants
who accompanied the bridegroom TO,
protection.
