?*s- ... MMMiau AMERICAN WOMEN* VOICES. A Ym>| FetftUh Diplomat’* It. mark. Offiwliliinilto illnwAin hwlwi iniiid Igr a remark of a roan* diplomat boioof tog to tho Mnmh flshcrfai cnmmfarion. Ho mid that he mu much (thick with the toefcti and phjraieal loveliness of 'American women, but that Waaramof the harmonious waa jarred when they ■poke. "Englishwomen's to tonal inn u musical, low, sympathetic, while Hint of the typical daughter of America is ld;:h, aomewlut harsh, and not grateful.’’ lie added that to repose the American woman is mote nttmetivo than tier English deter; bat that the latter is more agrecablo In con vers* lion. * Throughout the debate which this Candor Mt started their is no denial of tho assertion that American women’s roiccs are often disagreeable and . that English women’s intonation is ntoro . melodious. But there is no proper effort to get at the causo of tho difference. Thao is on error in admitting that tho difference is duo to higher pitch to this country than in England. Any ono who hoa heard English women speaking with total self-uiiconsciousness in their own homes knows that they run to quite as high a note as women of any other coun try; and thnt. in proportion ns the spirit Is amiable, tho voice rises as naturally in tho gamut ns the thermometer ascends when the Icy fetters loosen the mercury. Miss Terry's voice is perfectly natural on tho stage, and when she is not tragic it is in a high key. Sontog was noted for talking os "flutes lisp ami nightingales warble,” and both are at their best in high pitch. Tho troiublo lies not In tho pitch, but in the duality of voice. When Lear said of Cordelia, "Her voice was over soft, gentlo and low, an excellent tiling in woman,” It was quality, not pitch, lie correctly described." When Pctruchlo says of Catherine, in “Taming of tho Shrow,” "Think you a little din con , daunt mine carH?" ho descrilies again tho oft'ensivoness in woman’s voice, its noisi ness, not its pitch. Chaucer know that "small voices, sweet entuned." wero "tho sweetest melody ho ever heard;” aud onco again it is quality, not pitch, that is referred to. It is undeniable that in tho American air all voices are more or loss roughened by tho catarrhal mala dies, more disagreeable than dangerous. We can count top easily the singers w« have produced; and tho moment a voice is discovered there is feverish anxiety to get it out of ,tho country before our winds crack it in the throat. Few sing ers born or bred in Europo return, unless in extraordinary cases of great laryngeal pliability, with os even or suave a tonal ity as they bring out here. The voices thnt aro bred among us wo do our best to destroy for musical qual ity in cither singing or speaking by tho elocutionary antics of our schools. In England, except among those who are latterly patrons. of tho public primary scliribls, tuition outsido the home in childhood is all but unknown. Tho gov- • empss is a tradition os immovable" as tho house of lords or the judges’ wigs. Tho children study and recite in an ordinary room. Tho "low’ voico is naturally and sweetly developed. Iiocause tho lining of the throat is not scraped by voice forcing. When singing lessons begin the special timbre of each voico is carefully watched; and as rapidly ns indiontions M.iiico, it is given t!v pi,'per education lor its natu ral register, be thnt high, lowormedium. Meanwhile we have forty children in a lai'ge schoolroom; the teacher arranges them in a row at tho rear, and stands herself at the front of tho apartment, nnd tiie child who reads loudest is tho highest in order of merit. It is con sidered particularly commendablo if the entire class can read in concert louder than any other entire class In nil tho com petitive schools—competing for tho ruin of individual voico quality. Tho romo unscientific course is followed in music. All sing the same register for years; all ore urged to shout anil "holler’’ in school. When they are of on ago to make lint Ho with tiie climate in its ugly moods they can already say, ns Falstaff did to tho chief justice, nnd more truly: “For my voice, 1 have lost it with holloaing nnd singing of anthems.” Doubtless, loo, mental coni|iosuru lias much to do with tiie quality of tho voice. Tiie eager of both sexes will shout or scream. As the best conversers are also the U’st listeners, the quality of voico which goes so for to make a good con- verser is instinctively low and sympa thetic, Tho English girl learns in in fancy that sho is to speak only when spoken to; that sho is to reflect before speaking, and when she speaks is to say as little as possible that will antagonize her lords and masters. The American girl is accustomed from childhood to speak on everything; to exercise spon taneity, if not independence; and tho vices resulting from the abuse of the good ideas herein involved aro loud voice, harsh quality, and speech, followed by re flection, perhaps, but rarely preceded bjr it. American girls, os a rule, aro poor listeners. A dozen of thou will speak all together, nnd tho highest pitch is often reached in n competition to coerce atten tion. Aside from climatic influence, not easily overcome, whoso effects, howover, can lie imv:utoU, tho disagreeable quality in American women’s voices is duo to irrational throat gymnastics in childhood, ■nd to deficient mental composure to maturity. —Chicago Times.
