THE SAME OLD VOICE. A great deal has been said abroad about the "dreadful American voice," and of late years strenuous work in elocution merging into self-culture has made many Americans consider that the national voice must have become a thing of the past, but sadly enough it still lives. It is the women who have been crit- icised most sharply for lack of har- mony in speech. The men seem to get along without discord. When the head of a business firm, for instance, tele- phones an order it is done in a quiet, terse way--the office boy bawls it-- but, as often happens, when a woman in a corresponding position as chair- man of some philanthropic committee speaks the listener instinctively backs away from the receiver. "Women must make themselves heard," said an ardent suffragist, and the impression she gave was that to make her presence felt she would knock a man down if she but had the muscle. "It's wonderful -hew my voice: carries," said another woman who earnestly believes the world is greatly benefited by each speech she makes. These women are but samples of the many who are responsible for the rep- utation of the American voice, for the reason that they are the ones most heard. The greatest singers in the world come from this country, but they fade in comparison to the lasting impression of foreigners of the uni- versal voice. It is far from unusual for a woman who speaks harmonious- ly to be asked if she is English, which is an exasperating compliment to one who is thoroughly American. There is no reason why American women should not lead with the speak- ing voice as they do with the singing voice. The range of expression is there, the virility is there, and the willingness to be heard is, if anything, painfully present. The difficulty has been that where a singer has been trained to think of her role and con- sider its action on the audience, the speaker, after a course of self-culture, is absorbed in how best "to express herself." More consideration for the individ- ual listener or an audience is what is required. Who has ever heard an abrupt or edgy voice in a southern woman? Is it because she is born especially gifted? No; because the great singers do not come from the South. It is because she has been trained from birth in the innumerable courtesies that make family and social life charming art. She is American, but the reason the American voice is still scoffed at is because a lovely har- mony can be drowned by a strident discord. - 77 L'ART of haircutting is to give individuality to a child.
