TIE ART OF LISTENING.


One of the busiest of the many busy
women with whom am acquainted is
also the most charming woman with
whom to converse. She is not a brilliant,
perhaps hardly a clever talker, but one
loves to talk with her. After mature and
thoughtful consideration, have come to
the conclusion that her charm lies in the
fact that she is an admirable listener.
By her evident interest IN and sympa-
5hetic attention to tho matter OF the con-
yersation, she brings out all that is best
in the one with whom she talks. Diff
dent people forget their shyness in her
presence, and leave her with the comfor-
table and novel conviction that they have
after all, acquitted themselves rather
we'll, Few persons cultivate the art of
being good listeners, and yet to listen
well is perhaps even more desirable than
for one to talk well. The good talker is
often over-eager to say his say, to utter
his witticism, to tell his aneodote, and
his conversation is often q monologue.
The good listener inspires the talker by
strict attention to all be says, and, above
all by looking at him while he speaks.
There Is nothing more trying than to
find that your putative listener is giving
only partial heed to your utterances. 1t

A FAIR COMPLEXION.
First of all never wash in hard water
when a little borsx will soften hare
water and make the skin soft and dell
cate Avoid hard water as pestllence
as it thickens the skin and makes IL sal
ow. An old and much used recipe pJ
persons with exquisite compilations Is al
follows: Powdered borax, one quarter
ounce; glycerine. one-half ounces elder
flower watnr, eight ounces; benSoln, one
quarter ounce; vaseline, one quarter
ounce. Apply after washing, and IL VII
make the skin soft and fine.
For ohapped hands use equal parts o.
lemon Juice and 9lycerine, small guam

triple extract of violets.
An old lady seventy-fve years old, who
still retains her pink cheeks and soft
baby complexion. says that she has kept M
her habit of putting little powdered
borax IN the face water since she wal
a girl. She says that it was as much te
