A Chicago woman who has a great
reputation as a wit, has been spending
some little time here, and if she were
not at this very moment travelling
away from Washington as fast as
steam can take her. 1 should not dare
to dlyulge her secret. She is wit
mainly because she has made a study
OF the thing. She says that when she.
hrst began to go into society she found
herself shy, and small talk was almost
an impossibility for her. So she set
about remedying her defects, and this
is how she did it. She bought large
blank book and tiny note book and
every evening she entered in the large
book her notes OF the day. All the
really good stories she heard, all the
clever bits of repartee, all the funny
happenings she saw, went into her
book. She made notes of clever
speeches to open a conversation, and
witty ways OF closing it. She CLASH
fled her material when she had enough
of it, and adds to it all the while.
When she is to dine out, she looks
over her book and refreshes her men,
