Vox Humana

•"THE voice is more or less an index to X character. Take, for Instance,

Leslie James Maule, practising barrister and solicitor, of Wellington. His is a voice that Instantly commands attention when Its deep tones are resounding m court. There is no vocal Indecision about this barrister when he rises to plead a cause— a too common complaint among the younger school of practitioners. From his utterances one can generally gather that he means what he says and says what he means. Born m Feilding, L.J.M. started out m a humble way as an office-boy, but the call for better things found him studying for law at the Wellington university. Not of the aggressive type, he nevertheless forged ahead until, at the outbreak of the war, he had obtained his . desire.

For two years he did his bit with the boys m Flanders, gaining a commission while away. ■ After the maelstrom' had subsided he started m his profession m partnership with the late J. A. Tripe, but he still retains an Interest m things military, at the present time being the hon. secretary of the United Service Club. He's a man worth knowing, for his genial, happy smile is contagious! » .
