is the quick catching effect on the audience of everything said or done during the evening that is the great secret of the successful after-dinner speaker. And in that respect women fail hopelessly. Before they can attain prominence in tho field of after-dinner oratory they must acquire the ability to leap into instantaneous touch with their hearers"

 She can't relieve her embarrassment by plunging them into convenient per pendicular side pockets. She can't com placently fold her gloved hands across her lap, because all the other women immediately decide her hands are too red or ugly to be seen.
 She may load every finger with dia- monds and flash them in the eyes of her listeners, but those dear creatures at once hint that no brilliancy on the hands can make up for lack of that quality in the brains. Dr. Depew did not say this. Any woman will under stand it. however.

 And your advice to her is?"
 ''Quit the business"
 Of course, the New Womanwho thinks she is great success as a companion to after-dinner coffee will rise to object to such wholesale condemnation, but who has clearer title to criticise than the king of after-dinner orators?
 Club life produces after-dinner talk CTS by the dozen. But none has yet be- come the queen of after-dinner speak CTS. A majority are too conscious of their own efforts to reach that distinc- tion. Almost as many are in too dead ly earnest over their particular line of work to heed the graces and the light someness of coffee talk and become pop u1ar.

-"Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground" was considered by Stephen Foster to be the best of all his compositions.

that there must be no preaching nor any spread eagle oratory or skyserap- ing flights. Modern audiences don't want star dust or aurora lights flashing and streaming. Nor will they stand much sentiment. A little of that goes a long way.
 A woman must feel the temper and moods of her listeners. It requires a diversified audience to bring out the best in a speaker.
 There should be people who like you, some who dislike you, those who don't agree with you, and others who do; those whom one part of speech will catch and others who will respond to a touch precisely the opposite.
