Women as Orators I do wish J said a man prominently connected with Worlds fair matters that woman would study oratory It has become so much the fashion for women wo-men to speak in public that they are I brought to the fore on most occasions and I tiro heartily tired of their little sparrow like parlor ways and piping voices on the rostrum There are only a very few good speakers among the shoals of women that are before the public today Itis positively pos-itively painful to listen t them Their tricks and mannerisms their want of force and power of delivery are all to a degree de-gree irritating However good the substance sub-stance of a speech bad delivery ruins it A good voice for singing must be trained to be successful and the same is true of public speaking Women who have any idea of addressing audiences either great or small should take the trouble toO prepare pre-pare themselves for doing so They owe such preparation to those who pay them the compliment of listening to them Those who cant do this should refrain from speaking public Chicago Josf Lf j i J
