Is Your Voice Blonde or Brunette?
Next time you meet a blonde, pay close attention to her voice. If it registers contralto or lower down the scale, you can bet those goldy locks came out of a bottle. At least, that is the theory of the noted French psychologist, Dr. Delauny. He claims that it is a general law that real blondes are either tenors or sopranos, while brownheads are contraltos of basses. According to him your voice also betrays whether you are flighty and irresponsible, or vice versa. A grave voice indicates a person of seriousness and intelligence, while a fluty voice unmasks the frivolous and lightheaded. So beware how you speak!
