our keenest pleasure, it Is the
spoken voice that has most to
do with the health, happiness
and welfare Of the human fam
lily.
What would you do without
your spoken voicef See the
mute! Witness a group or col
ony Of mutes! !, Suppose the hui
man voice should become a lost
function, in what plight should
we be!
What, then, is your voice?
Your voice consists of in
visible waves of invisible ether
set in motion by the vibrations
Of some muscles and folds, called
ivocal Cords" located in that
part of your throat called the
'larynx."
These cords are either keyed
up or unstrung automatically
by the action of certain small
wires or nerves that, consciously
or unconsciously to yourself
carry the impulse from your
brain to each individual cord.
They are then made to vibrate
by the air that you force over
them from your lungs.
1t is the tension or key of
these cords and the force of the
air passing over them that de-
termines the character of 1.-THE
sound emitted.
Remember these fundamental
facts. 1t is upon them that Is
based everything that goes under
the head OF, culture Of your voice.
This, you see, simply means the
development of your ability to
control at will the tension of the
cords and the force of the air
passing over them.
This development comes only
by developing what the psychol.
ogists call action patterns" in
your brain md action patterns
are developed only by habit. and
habits are developed only by

They worked splendidly until
Icarus disobeyed his father, Dae-

venturesome and flew way up
close to the sun. Yop can imagine
how hot it was there. Then AN
awful thing happened. The sun
melted the wax that held the
wings to the body Of Icarus.
The wings dropped off and Icarus
fell into the sea-which is called
for him, the Icarian Sea-"

A@arAs NesRgners are showing great
numbers Of them in their new
collections.
The women who saw the
autumn opening at Molyneux's
last week wanted to go home and
pack their trunks with nothing
but pajamas and HE away to Lido.
For it appears that this particular
style of garment is permitted in
the celebrated Venetian resort at
any time of the day-or night.
This English designer, who has
become so famous in Paris, is IA.
voring pajamas, with trousers but.
toned around the ankle halfway up-
the leg and then left to bulge out
very much like riding breeches.
One set, with trousers of jade full
gurante, has a coat of black
gcorgette, embroidered in white
and silver and banded by thick
black fur, except at the neck,
where it is rounded off simply.
Another handsome set comes with
silver lame trousers and a she'll
pink coat of crepe. bordered with
gray squirrel. There is any num-
Der of charming combinations.
Sometimes the paJamas are
used for sleeping garments and
sometimes for negligees, in the
home or on the beach. There are
Persian pajamas, With little jack.
cts Of brocade and the lower
parts in pegtop shape Of plain
colors. Chinese pajamas have
wide trousers, almost resembling
little skirts, and Turkish ones
have a very fuN lower part, with,
only small joining at the ankles.

Tobacco Cleanser

Il to see through one that is

But that is the brain end Of
the process. You are doubtless
interested in the vocal-cord end
of it.
The cords" seem to have been
so called chiefly because they
bear no possible resemblance to
a cord in the sense of a string.
They really consist of some lit
tie muscles on either side Of the
pharynx buried beneath a mu.
cous membrane, thus forming
sharp-edged slit in your, laPynX,
just above your windpipe. The
size of this elastic slit and the
tenseness Of its edges are deter
mined by the tenseness of these
little muscles. These, with some
other minute structures, comprise
the tone organ.
The tones generated in the tone
organ are further modified in
emission by the action of the
tongue, the teeth. the lips and
the state Of the upper air pas
sages.
All these various structures
and organs must work together,
and to train them to work TO-
gether is the task of voice cul-
ture, which means culture of the
brain to control voice production.
It's a big task. But.it Is worth
the effort. Think of the per

Image Appears.
This image Of Andrew was so
vivid she sat upright, glancing
with a fearful swiftness to the
door-half awaiting his light,
springy step; half expecting to
meet his brown, eager eyes with
that old gallant kindness shining
in their depths.
But Andrew was dead. She
had gone in and kissed his cold,
smiling face. She had touched
the gray hair at his temples,
whispering: "You dear, dear
Andrew" and waved her hand
as she left the room as though
Andrew would take a comfort
from that
She began to cry. 1t was then,

CHAPTER 5s

CHAPTER 03
 A INA was quite ill for several A days. The doctor came every
 day and never failed to express 10th indignation and horror at what had been done. I thought he took par ticular pains to be emphatic when Aunt Cynthia was in the room, and could have hugged him for it. She still in sisted that the only way to cure timld- | ity was to make the person familiar with the object Of which they were with the doctor.
 "Did you ever have any children, lmadame?" he asked her one day.
 "No. But brought Mir. Hyde up. 1 He is the same as son to me"
 That explains your action. Had you ever had a delicate. nervous child of your own you would have known better than to subject one to such treat ment. I pity you, madame, for your | ignorance of a chi1d's nature. The dear old doctor had Anna on his lap at the time, cuddling her. She was playing with his big, old-fashioned watch.
 have read many stories of the un- pleasant mother-in-law who caused dis sension in a sons home. But never could 6 mother-in-law, no matter how disagreeable, be as unwelcome guest as was this aunt of my husbands. A grandmother is invariably fond of her grandchildren, no matter how she may object to her sons wife or to what she does. But Aunt Cynthia had no real love for Anna. think she was rather proud of her beauty-Anna was a lovely child, dainty, curly-haired, with delicate features. But neither pride nor love entered at all into the way aunt acted toward her. Severe at all times, her voice seemed to take on an added severity when she spoke to the shrinking child. It might have been that Anna's avoidance of her hurt aunt and she could not hide it save being severe. But whatever the cause, Anna could not bear to be where she was. Sometimes she would try and find me, but if Aunt Cynthia were in the room with me she would run as fast as she could back to the nursery. l kept them apart as much as was possible. After her last fright rarely had Anna come downstairs except when on her way out for her daily airings. That Man vile did not believe in children being at the table with grown people helped me, of course.
 June called up and asked me to come over. She was giving an afternoon bridge. I told her couldn't leave An na that she had been ill again.

 Raggedy Andy showed the rag puppy dogs how to run the photograph and they sat about with one rag ear up in the air and with their heads turned to one side, just like real live puppy dogs when the music played, but they did not howl even a smidgin.

 So Raggedy Andy played another record and the puppy dogs were very happy. Just as the second piece was about finished the door opened and in came a funny little fellow with tall hat and funny knee brooches.
