In this connection she stressed the advantage of a well modulated voice. Beauty, while an asset many times, is really not so important as it seems, according to Miss JSauman. She said it was of much greater value to make -the most of what we already have, since by ignoring a flaw in beauty it will fflso tend to make others ignore it too.
