Sometimes it is the pitch that is wrong. Many women inclined to speak on too high a nola, with the result that when exerted the voice becomes shrill, and often scream. The ideal voice is low and musical, at the same time clear and distinct.
Another fault which is fre- quently made, is absence of varia tion in tone. A good speaker is never monotonous. very slight rise or fall is all that is needed, but the voice must not becoma

There is a very great deal in the choice of words. The art of speaking well is the ability to put thoughts into the right words, and to speak those words in A sympathetic manner at the right moment.

WASHING CREPE

Plonge the garments into the lather and squeeze in and out, but do not rub them or the allk will crack in tiny faint streaks. Rinse in several lots of warm water, to which a little blue has been added. Soap has a way of sticking to silk, so the Arst rinsing water must be gaite warm. If too cold the soap will form lato suds, and will refuse to leave the material until plunged into hot water.
