SIMPLE EXERCISE TO LIFT TONES

make the same sound resound in
the passages Of your forehead. To
test this, press your hand to
your forehead while you inhale,
then slowly exhase as before on
the sound ''m.m-m-m."
Next try the sound "ng-ng.ng, I"
as in ring" or hang" making
tone production nasal rather than
throaty, then causing it to re-
sound in your head.
This exercise, like all others, to
be Of value should be repeated
day after day and month after
month. A moment or two of prac-
tice each day, however, should
bring the result Of fuller, richer,
less throaty tones Of your speak
ing yoice-tones more musical
than they formerly were and
tones that lift all strain in speak
ing.
Another important point in at
tanning beautiful speaking voice,
is attention to diction. This is
merely a matter Of care and
study Of the dictionary.
The habit Of reading aloud for
few minutes each day, taking
great care to pronounce your
words distinctly. slowly, not slur-
ring any syllable, win greatly
help. And If you wish to follow
the example Of Domosthenes-,
and of many other students Of
diction since his time-while you
read aloud. hold in your mouth
two or three small smooth
pebbles.
You will be surprised and
pleased when you discover how
your speaking voice is improving
in quality and in diction through
faithful practice Of these simple
exercises. enabling you to speak
your musical mother tongue with
refreshing clearness and beauty.

Bobby, run out into the yard

Now If there is anything that
Bobby likes to do it is to chop

eggs" whispered Bobby.
Bobby was right, for the next

-Four eggs in Mrs. wren's

After a few weeks we looked
into the box. There they were,
four big mouths on four little
feathered bodies, wide open wait

them worms.
Then the fun began. That

Then the baby repeated it after
her. If his little voice broke on
a note or If he hesitated, Mama
Wren would take up the melody
right where he had left off and
then make him repeat it.
She did this with each Of her

was and what good teacher!
Every day we watched this
