The woman nowadays who disregards
this little elegance of social life shows
herself to be behind the times-gives her
self away, as the phrase Is, completely. E.
Every woman cannot be brilliant con-
versa tionalist. These are born. But every
woman can learn to talk well. Learn II
thoroughly and quickly. II thought, good
Judgment and good taste are exercised.
First of all there Is the enunciation. The
enunciation of the woman who ~ up in
things" Is so clear and pretty that the
very vocal sounds are pleasurable as they
strike the ear
Everyone should expend few cents up
on a good elocutionists manual and mas
ter the little intricacies of sound, the diff
ferent RECOMMENDATIONS of each letter and
the different methods used in producing
sounds. Certain syllables are utterly lost
unless the mouth Is well opened for their
production. In others the whole ERECT Is
destroyed when the final consonant Is
slurred The voice may be pitched as
low as desired, but II enunciation is good
the effect win be clear and musical.
Study OF a pocket dictionary Is another
potent aid Ten minutes a day in study
Of ones own language will help wonder
fully. Choose short and simple words IN
preference to big, awkward ones. The
taste of the present day runs entirely to
plain words and short sentences.
Thoughts are more easily communicated
in this way, and ones meaning more read
lily grasped
Cultivate the habit of connecting each
object with its name. Nothing Is more
distressing than a sentence in which one
Is left to guess the nouns, both proper
and common,

of her name. But you know who / mean
on West Spruce street" This was the
way a woman tried to communicate bit
Of news to a friend. The friend, as II
happened had not the faintest Idea or
who that awfully pretty woman might
be. The entire thread Of the conversation
was lost TO her. A little later the same
speaker said: you ought 10 read book
I've just, finished. 1t Is excellent. IL has
history in It, you know. It's written by
that foreigner with the funny name"
A thoroughly good conversationalist
considers her subjects as well as the
words and phrases which compose them.
Topics which excite violent controversy
are always in poor taste
There Is an unwrltten law In society
that the subjects of politics and religion
shall be tabooed at social gatherings.
Lord Chesterfield would have us avoid
discussing children, dress and the wealth
err 1t would be rather hard upon femi-
nine likes and loves TO cut off these flrst
two. For every rightly constituted wo-
man enjoys a chat upon new flnery and
those all engrossing babies. But with the
last of these three topics surely we can
dispense Did you ever think how much
OF the conversative total Is occupied by
this firing topic with 50 much else TO tax
of-friendship, books, music, art, the
drama, people, things and places And no
woman but can learn TO talk well upon all
OF these II she desires
One Of the most striking features of the
fashions of the coming season Is the white
Jacket which promises TO be extensively
worn That the entire suit should be OF
one color IS an idea now exploded, and the
newest Partisan fancy Is to wear n gown
of some such pronounced color as green or
the scarlet which is now enjoying such
run of popularity, and over this jacket
Of unrelieved white. The combination IL
as becoming as It Is novel.
One OF the prettiest OF these Jackets Is
Of exquisitely smooth and fine white
broadcoth, lined with heavy white satin.
In the back II Is tight fitting, the front
being formed rather loose, with broad
panel in the center braided deliberately In

A new fad Is being taken up by women
addicted 70 headaches. IL Is a little me-
chanical instrument OF massage, simple
IN construction and requiring no skill for
rs application. The results are said to
be miraculous. and the women who have
prohted by the marvellous cures effected
by the little toy now number II among
their most priceless treasures. And, as
there never was known to be a woman
who did not have headaches the number
TO whom the new remedy will appeal IL
practically infinite.
