Dida't Wait LonE to Begin Borrow.

A young woman Of Washington birth

for these three years past In small
Indiana town. says that for tact and
diplomacy she knows nobody to equa
her neighbors out there. She had
scarcely settled herself In her new
home when one day she heard a her
proudly cackling In her back yard
She went out to see what could have
brought a strange hen into her yard
and found that the fowl had just laid
an egg in the woodbox outside the
kitchen door. While she was still won
dering where on earth the creature had
come from the shock head Of thin
and tall girl Of II rose over the fence
which divided the yard from the yard
Of the house next door.
Hello" said the girl

That's very kind, indeed" answered
the new neighbor.
"It's gift" remarked the girl
Then there was silence for q few

MAKING CALLS.

What do you dnd TO talk about when
making callsy Is IL some latest BIT OF
scandal, some choicest story OF an old
gossip
Don't gossip; 1t Is worse than useless.
Let US talk over what you can find to
tell your friend with profit TO you both,
There IL that pleasant trip you took
last week. You can tell about that
what you enjoyed. Do not hunt up and
talk over the unpleasant things unless
you are very positive some one will be
benefited thereby.
That book you read was delightful
perhaps IL will please and refresh your
friend. Kindly offer the loan Of IL to
her. II she has read IL, compare notes
with her on It's different characters, its
plot, etc. You will be sure to get some
new ideas.
Perhaps you have learned new way
OF doing some bit Of work, IL may help
your friend as II has helped you.
Do not tell the unkind remarks you
heard about an acquaintance. Tell all
the pleasant things you have heard.
II some one has told you some pleas
ant thing about your hostess, which It
would please her to know, tell her; II
will not be flattery.
Meet any talk which promises to be
unfair or unpleasant TO others with
words amounting TO ave do not know
sll, )" ''We cannot tell what one might do
In her place." and change the subject rs
soon as possible.
In the meantime your friend will have
helped you In her own way; you need
never fear to carry the talk on by your
self.
Strive to have your conversation mean
something. Use sll the chances for I'M
provement which come to you.
Carry with you when you start on
your round Of calls-you need IL always
"a heart filed with sweet charity, and
your calls will prove successful. You
may not be wise nor brilliant, but you
viii find yourself everywhere welcome.
The Household.
