CARE OF CHITLDREN 401,10, PLEASANT VOICE RADIATES CHARM How You Say It is Most Important -,Reading Aloud Good Practice It's a mistake for any girl to work hard to improve h e r figure, hair, skin and her taste in clothes but ig- nore completely the feet that she has an improperly placed, unpleasant voice. Because, no matter how'' at- tractive she is, unless her voice has a fairly; soothing effect on others, they just aren't going to listen to her -not for long, anyway. Unless the cells in the lower part of the lungs are made to do their work, the voice will lack quality of tone. ' Proper Breathing Necessary Therefore, one good way to begin a voice -improvement campaign is to do a breathing exercise regularly un- til you breathe correctly all of the time without thinking about it. 'Simp- ly press your palms against' your sides just above your waistline. Now take a breath so deep that hands are forced apara Irl other' words try to expand your chest at the sides instead of in front. Exhale vigor- ously, pressing hands into your body as the air leaves your lungs. Do practice speaking slowly and enunciating correctly. Just read aloud for 15 minutes every day. Go to your room, close the door, then read. Listen to yourself and try to decide whether you have a habit of raising your voice at the end of every sentence or just what you do that probably annoys others. YOU'RE) INCOMPLETE 'WITHOUT GLOVES This Season, Whether You Be Dressed In Sports Or Evening Attire 'Tis amazing what the lack of gloves will do to a smarb ensemble. For ages, it seems, fashionists have been literally preaching about the importance of gloves in the field of accessories, stressing their value to the complete costume. There is no outfit complete with- out gloves, whether it be in the cate- gory of sports or full dress regalia. When more women accept this fact, the impulse to be dressier will be stronger than ever before. It is too easy to slip into slovenly habits, and how any woman can go shopping downtown without gloves is more than we can fathom, for cer- tainly their hands come in contact with surfaces where hundreds of other hands have touched. the sneezes; 'Tis the last call of Summer to those who enjoy These places where Nature her superb forces employ. —MARTHA. YOU DO IT UNTO ME Inasmuch as ye have done it un- to the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me, -Math. 25:40. Though you have no gift of gold To lay at the altar's base, You may have gifts far greater, To lay there in its place. If you've lent a helping hand To neighbor in his need, If you've helped a brother in illness Nor expect pay for the deed. If you've stopped on your , toilsome journey, To help another on his way, If you've cheered a saddened heart Through another weary day. Your smiles, kind words and .help- ing hands, May laid on the altar be, For if you do it ',unto the least of thy brethren, You do it unto me, RAPING OR WEEPING?

MEDT AT AUBURN The annual rally of the Huron Presbyterial of the Women's Mission- ary. Society of the Presbyterian Church was held in Auburn on Tues- day . last at Knox Presbyterian Church.

The president, Mrs. D. J. Lane, of Goderich, gave an admirable mission- ary' address. Among other things she said, "A living experience of the Lord and His presence is an essen- tial element in mission work. Some- times we plan and do in our own 'strength and it is small wonder that we fail in our objective. Our attitude to our church and Missionary Soc- iety has a great influence upon our neighbor, who may not be so mis- sionary -minded. We forget that your life and mine may be the only Bible some people may read. Fathers and mothers must teach their children to be loyal to their own church. Every- one should do mission work." Mrs. Lane made mention of Miss Eleanor McKenzie who is leaving the literary secretaryship because she is going to Sndbury. The report of the treasurer Mrs. T. Swan Smith and remarks from the secretaries indicated that satis- factory progress has been made dur- ing the past eight months of the year. A.

Dr. Buchanan's ervices were recognized by the King nd the Government in India., who• onored him with the Kaiser Hind irst class gold medal, the Jubilee edal and King George Coronation edal.
