things. but there is no odder legacy 70

twenty recently showed that her mother,
aunts, grandmother. grandmother,

had all been divorced from one to three
times apiece. finding In her much graft

that she wished 20 part with the man

ArrER.nINNER SPEECHES.

In the Century for May. Brander Mat
tbews contributes an interesting paper
ON after-dinner oratory, a subject IN
which a certain class of people are deep
~ interested.
The public dinner is becoming more
and more popular in this country. 1t
has been ascertained that no better way
Of accomplishing certain results IN the
social world, In the political world. In
the business world has been found than
that OF giving a dinner and having a
few appropriate speeches over the cof-
Zee and cigars. The number OF citizens.
therefore. who are interested in the mo-
dern dinner and the after-dinner speeches
il not inconsiderabie Nor is the interest
confined to those who make the speeches.
Those who have TO listen to then are.
perhaps, more deeply concerned. In his
interesting paper to which we refer. Mr..
Matthews let's fall some valuable hints
which after-dinner speakers may study
10 their profit.
The FIRST word Of caution is against too

into the way Of other sections, OF mar

It will be an innovation and not "heri-

has ever been a holy estate, a lifelong
contract that Is not to be- entered INTO
lightly or unadvisedly, nor set aside at
tho pleasure Of the parties to tho sacred

women have been taught by precept ana

many anecdotes. Mr.. Matthews admits
mat a good Joke at the right time, In the
right place. is admirable, but. ne says,
tho anecClote should be ancillary always
that It IS a hand-maden to be summoned
only when wanted; that the comic story
Is a good servant but a bad master ana
that some postprandisl addresses are 80
thin IN theme and so thick with jokes
that they resemble peanut candy. where
YOU cannot see the candy for the pea
nuts or, to put It differently, where you
cannot catch the thought for the chest
nut.
MIR. Matthews quotes Mr.. Lowell as
saying that a good after-dinner speech
ought 60 contain a platitude, quotation
and. an anecdote. declaring that the
pIatitude might be had without taking
thought. and intimatlng that the quota
ton and the joke were matters Of much
greater consequence. 1.-THE anecdote
says he. SHOULD be adroltly chosen, I'M
expected in its unfolding and having con-
cealed in IT a pungent pertlnence reveal
ms itself only at the very end" But ne
thinks that only one such anecdote can
be successfully wedged into an after-din-
ne- sreech. adding that every parlor ma
rician knows how disastrous 1t IS to at
temp. the same trick twice.
He quotes Judge Hoar who has been
so happy in his fve-minute speeches. az
Harvard as having said that the after
dinner speech should contain but one
original idea, clearly stated, and but
one fresh story, well told.
We have no room TO follow Mr.. Mat
thews throughout the entire range Of his
argument. but we have quoted enough
to make plain the point that every after
dinner speech should be brief, concise
and pointed. It IS not uncommon Tor
such n speaker to introduce his remarks
with the confession that he really does
not know what to speak about. To all
such. the reply OF the 1rishman IS most
sensible: "Sphake about foive minutes
said Pat. land sit down Preferably.
however. such a speaker should say
nothing. If O man has nothing to say
mon such an occasion. It IS bad manners,
TO say the least, for him TO impose HIM
self upon the guests.
We would add to what Mr.. Matthews
has said this much: No man should ever
having been invited in advance, make
an after-dinner speech without having
thoroughly prepared himself II he is not
going to do so, he should not accept the
invitation to speak. The man who is
not in the habit Of speaking should write
out his speech and commit it TO memory
as thoroughly as does a boy in the piece
that he is going 10 declaim. The man
who will pursue this course, who viii de-
termine in advance just what he is go
ing TO say. and who will say it i'm an
easy manner without baking and hesi-
tating if he does not make hit Will al
least get off without discredit 20 HIM
self and without boring his audience
Preparation IS, after all, the great secret
Of successful speaking Of any character.
