Affairs are given in social circles OF
other cities which are called Bal Poudre, "
where the ladies all wear pink or white
gowns, and the gentlemen vary the conven-
tiOual style of white ties and wear instead
large pink ones. Both ladies and gentle
men wear their hair powdered, cand the
minuet and stately quadrilleS are danced.
When there is a lack of other entertain
ment why not make an effort at private
theatricals. IL may mean little hard
work before YOU get through, but what is
that 10 the amount OF fun that is sure TO

How 10 be agreeable ever has been a
social problem. ''Efface yourself" is
Thackeray's rule for being agreeable; an
other Is 10 be adaptive. When il is your
intellectual mood 10 take a tit and soar, it
is Just possible 10 find your companion is
not inclined 10 Your lofty attitude of
thought He may not be soaring Just then
and may calculate 'come off, What
then. Shall you descend swiftly to the
dull platitudeS in which he is asserting his
interest for the moment! BY no means.
Keep on with YOUR theme and soon the
spark of your enthusiasm will kindle re-
sDonsive interest. 1t is a notable fact that
those who are best equipped for an intel
lectual conversation are VIGOROUSLY modest
In displaying their treasures Of thought and
ObservatiOn-for instance, Lamb says with
pathos; In tetc-d-tcte there is no shuffiing.
The truth will out. There is nothing |
dread SO much as 10 be left alone with
sensible, well-informed person who does
not know me-
