Pleasant Voice Real Requisite Of True Beauty

By ALICIA HART One of the first requisites of true beauty, the inspiring variety which doesn’t fade with the years, is a soft, pleasant voice, perfectly modulated. This doesn’t mean that your voice tones must be exceptionally low, of course. Medium high and even very high voices can be pleasant. The first step toward improvement of your speaking voice is to learn to breathe correctly. Shallow breathing, as any singer or public speaker will tell you, makes the tones of the voice less vibrant. To get into the habit of completely filling your lungs each time you inhale, press one hand lightly against your diaphragm, then inhale, forcing hand outward as you do so. Meanwhile, keep chest and shoulders perfectly still. Don’t let your chest bob up and down. Exhale vigorously. Become voice-conscious. Whenever you notice that your voice is getting high and squeaky in the middle of a conversation, pause, lower it and begin again. If you suspect that you have a nasal twang, do these exercises for three minutes every day. Place one hand on top of your head, close your eyes, then, slowly and deliberately, repeat four lines of a poem you know.- Or recite a few lines of a speech: with which you are familiar. As you do so, speak clearly and a little louder than you ordinarily do. Imagine that you can feel the tones comg through the top of your head, brating under your hand. Now place one hand on your diaphragm and repeat the poem, meanwhile thinking constantly about making your diaphragm vibrate as you speak. Forget your nose and think of your voice as beginning in your mouth, then going down, down, emerging from the spot beneath your hand.

Today’s Pattern

I: smart to have a full-busted, tiny-waisted, utterly feminine silhouette this fall, and here's a charming design that helps you get that way. Shirring on the shoulders is not only pretty in itself, but creates soft fullness over the bosom. The skirt is straight and fitted, with a lifted waistline that makes you look slim. Victorian sleeves, peaked up at the shoulder, accentuate the effect. That front panel, too, gives a nice flat diaphragm. (Be sure your corset is just right before you have your new frocks fitted.) Buy a soft fabric for this—silk crepe, thin wool, crepe satin or velvet. You'll probably use the design more than once, because the style is so attractive. Pattern 8320 is designed for sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46. With long sleeves, size 36 requires 5% vards of 39-inch material; with | short, 4% yards. The new Fall and Winter Pattern Book, 32 pages of attractive designs for every size and every occasion, is now ready. Photographs show dresses made from these patterns being worn, a feature you will enjoy. Let the charming designs in this new book help you in your sewing. One pattern and the new Fall and Winter Pattern Book—25 cents. Pattern or book alone—15 cents. . To obtain a pattern and step-by-step sewing instructions inclose 15 cents in coin together with the above pattern number and your size, your name and address and mail to Pattern Editor, The Indianapolis

Dr. Guy O. Carpenter delivered an address in which he said that failure to minister to the needy is failure to minister to Jesus.

4th Birthday Is Proud Day

For Children]

®

But It Also Is the Period ‘Their Feelings Are Most Easily Bruised.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

When our Jack is four, he should have a great big birthday cake. Why? Because he is another person, quite another person indeed. It's been working on him for the last year, but now he has walked through the looking glass and stepped into another world. Up to this time he has not been quite unconscious, or in a coma. He has been a smart, lovable little kid with a hundred cute tricks. No one could call this bright little fellow a dunce. However, he has been diving up until this last year, in a sort of grandstand seat, looking at his folks and other grown-ups working, tagging the other children ’‘round and imitating all of you. He has been feeling something like the king who went through a palace with interested eyes, and then suddenly discovered that it was his own palace, after all.

No Longer a Baby

And just so the little child of 3 or 4 enters into his own world. He is a person, at last. He thinks first hand, now. He obeys more than instinct. He is more able to do his own going, and to pick and choose his actions. So many, many mothers ask me how it comes that their 3-or-4-year= olds, who used to be so good, suddenly go haywire and act terribly. Really they won't be such puzzles, if parents allow a little rope until this first great push is spent, and try to understand this new flush of power. Usually these 3-or-4-year-olders are reasonable little people, even at this early stage, and there is much for parents to enjoy as they watch them day by day, in spite, or, perhaps ause of their new-found independence. These children have a lot to contend with, too. They are often expected to be more grownup than they are. They are so cute that they are put on exhibition frequently. It isn’t wise, I suggest. Because the
