d. d. 7 HE TALKING GIRL. d. d.

There is much said about the attrac-
and the look pleasant please, and keep
still formula is adopted by many young
women who wish to win popularity. If,
however, all were silent, society would
soon take on a Quaker-like monotony;
therefore it is the girl VINO can talk that
the hostess wants at her luncheons and
dinners and to whom young and old turn
when they want to hear of the happen
ings of this interesting world.
The girl who talks must talk well, how
ever, and she must not talk too much.
"A man may say too much even upon the
best of subjects says Montaigne She
must also possess an unerring instinct
as to the topic which will interest her
hearer and the knowledge of variety of
subjects. Her mind need not be stored
with all the technical details of art. liter
ature, and science, for the good talker is
sometimes n superficial thinker, but she
must possess the art of sitting the inter-
esting from the embarrassing, and the
tact to introduce golf or Shakespeare for
discussion as the occasion seems to de-
mand.
Sometimes a girl who can chat enter
tainingly on certain themes misses en-
tirely the fine arr of opening conversa-
tion. Such girl should supply herself
with number of remarks, light in them
selves, but sufficient to break the ice of
new acquaintanceship. at teas and re-
ceptions an intellectual girl will often,
upon presentation to another guest. stand
in agonized uncertainty, to venture finally
a remark about the weather, while her
less brilliant sister laughs brightly. so
glad we have this corner to ourselves
she says, or, If they are in the midst of
a crowd: Gould you hear a remark If
] should make it, and with this begin
ming she plunges into conversation.
One girl who is noted for her mastery
OF interesting details gives the credit TO
her habit of storing up things and incl
dents, however trivial, to tell to her in
valid mother. IF anything funny hap
pens on the car or in a shop try to take
IL home to mother"
Another girl keeps notebook in which
she iots down the funny stories she hears.
She says that otherwise she would always
forget the point. 1t would be well for
others to follow her example, for the
woman who can tell good story is as
rare as she is charming.
But, whatever her method, the girl who.
would be entertaining must remember,
that she must be all things to all men.
and women. She must play upon her
listeners as she would play upon the:
piano. selecting that which they wish, not.
her own choice, and as she would give.

WANDERINGS OF A
PAWNEE WARRIOR

Mr.. Waumek, of Oklahoma, is a Pawnee
Indian of much sagacity and many years
Of experience. His opportunities, however
for observing the inside of the tepees
of the palefaCss have been limited. In
company with half dozen other mem
bers of the Pawnee tribe Waumek has
been in the "City OF the Great Father
for the past couple of weeks, holding
pow-wows with the Secretary of the In
terror and the Indian Commissioner. He
has scorned to cast aside the aboriginal
blanket of his race. and his ears are
pierced with large and gorgeous orna-
ments.
The Indians have been loaing around
the Offices and corridors of the Interior
Department and Indian Bureau for some
time. but they have never strayed very
far away from the protecting care of the
agent.
The other day, however, Waumek,
whose big, ret blanket makes him con-
spicuous figure, wandered away from the
rest of the bunch and got lost. He was
in the basement of the white stone wig
wan on Street, where Secretary Hitch
cock and his medicine men hold forth,
and he did not know how to get out.
Waumek was not used to buildings of
that size. and it seemed as il every cor
ridor he turned into ultimately brought
him back to the place he started from.
He finally conquered his natural dis
trust of elevators. got into one and was
taken to the third floor. He got out there
because the elevator doesn't go any high
er, but he was in a worse predicament
than ever. There was no way to get out
to the street, and Waumek could not make
anyone understand that he was hunting
the agent, for he does not posses enough
English to run a Chinese laundry bust
ness.
Finally friendly newspaper man found
him and steered him down into the room
presided over by Mr.. w. Scott Smith, Sec
rotary Hitchcock's private secretary.
Waumek became excited, agitated and
even showed symptoms OF hostility be-
cause the agent was not Immediately pro-
duced.
He looked behind the doors, under the
big mahogany desk and got down on his
hands and knees and peered under the
sofa in the evident belief that the agent
had been made away with by the Score
tary's orders and the body was somewhere
about. He was heap fiustered.
Finally Mr.. Smith understood that he
wanted the agent and assured Waumek
that he would send for him When the
old chief understood that he quoted down.
He calmly lay down on Mr.. Smiths SOFA.
drew the red blanket over his head and
went to sleep.
All OF Secretary Hitchcocks callers
that morning were treated to the sight OF
an aged aborigine curled up on the sofa
in the ante-room wrapped in sweet obiiv-
ion and a red blanket.
Waumek was still snoring when the
agent arrived an hour later. He touched
his copper colored charge on the shout
der. Waumek started up in alarm, but
a smile suffused his countenance when
he recognized his guardian angel.
Howl he grunted laconically, and
rolled over and went TO sleep again.

now hung in the Corcoran Art Gallery.
By an act of Congress. approved by the
President, the Daughters of the War of
1912 were authorized to raise. by popular
subscription, the sum of 100000 to de-
fray the expense of her reconstruction. A
bill is now pending in the Massachusetts
Legislature. appropriating 100000 toward
the rebuilding of the ship. This bill was
introduced through the efforts Of the
Daughters of the War of 1872, VINO have

this work. The other patriotic societies
hope to raise $4,000 more. There is in
existence much jealousy between Ports
mouth, n. H., and Boston as to which
shall have the honor of the Constitu-
tons presence in the harbor; but as long
as the grand old frigate is preserved to
the country it makes but little difference
to the average American whether one SEC
ton or another secures her presence.

Colonel's hair is a memory, and he no
doubt keenly feels the icy blasts which
sweep up the shaft, laden with influenza

The other day friend found the old

elevator.
"A distinct advance in our civilization,
sir" said the Colonel. I'VE are learning,
sir; we are learning. We have already
learned that our respect fol-. the fair sex
is too deeply rooted to be dependent upon
mere external signs. We know that We
are no less sincere in our respect because
We no longer invite pleurisy or rheuma-
tisn by riding bareheaded in

But, Colonel" said the friend, don't
you feel that the mere abrogation of this
ordinary act of courtesy On our part may
lead in time to a general careIessness
toward the ladies?''
Not at all, not at ALL sr," They had
now entered the elevator car in which

to call either young or good looking. mo,
sir; it is a proof that We have advanced
beyond the mere outward respect to that

know that we give woman higher place
than ever in our councils and considera-

the outworn and exaggerated ceremonial
of courtesy in these progressive dr.

The Painting Planned.

Previous to the Centennial Exhibition of
1876, it was decided to repair the Consti-
tuition and have her take part in that Gel
artist. belonging to her native State, Mr..
s Salisbury Tuckerman, of Boston, con-
ceived the idea of portraying on canvas
the famous incident of the chase by the
British. Though marine artist by pro-
fession. with a practical sea experience
gained in several voyages to India. it was
only after the most painstaking research
of all the facts that the groundwork of
this now famous painting was laid That
it is true to history and correct in detail

Much to the surprise of everyone IN
terested in the location of the annual
amateur golf championships. the Glenview
Club, of Chicago. secured the prize. Last
week about this time. strong fight, and
a big canvass was going on among the
delegates to the annual meeting.
East Against the West.
1t was the East against the West. The
big rivals were the Nassau Country Club,
of Glen Cove, L. l., and the Glenview
Club, of Chicago.
Early in the week the Westerners had
about given up the fight, and threatened
all sorts of things. Among them that they
would withdraw their clubs and form an
independents Western-association
The canvass assumed the appearance
of war camp. in which two hostile
forces were arrayed, waiting for the bat
tie over the championship links to begin.
The West was aggressive and won out.
Nearly all the East favored the Nassau
Club for the amateur championships, and
either Garden City or Philadelphia for the
open championships.
Glenview Is Successful.
So, with all this complication to over
come. the delegates to the annual meet
ing of the United States Golf Association
had a lively time before them, and all
expected to be extremely busy.
The United States Golf Association con-
sists of nearly 200 clubs, but the business
of meeting is conducted by twenty-six
associate clubs. which send two dele
gates to the meeting, and have full voting
power.
These delegates handled the matter so
well that without any trouble at all and
with very little discussion the amateur
championships were awarded to the Glen
view Club. and, of course, its members
and the delegates from the Western clubs
went away delighted. 1t was u bad blow
to the supporters of the Eastern links.
Newly Elected Officers.
The officers elected at the annual meet
ing are:
President, r. II. Robertson, st. An,

Open Championships.
In strange contrast TO the vigorous COM
petition for the amateur event was the
apathy of the clubs with regard to the
women's and the open championships.
Golfers generally were surprised at the
refusal of the Country Club of Brook
line to handle the women's tourney.
Just why the women's championship
should go "a begging this year was
| puzzle to q good many. The same may
| be said of the open, and it is only an
| other proof of the fckleness of Americans.
On the other side there is a regular cir
cult of championship courses, and such
n thing as not knowing where to hold one
or more of the big events is unheard OF
over there.
1t may be said, however, that the Brook
line course is not adapted for an event
like the women's championship, SO that
the fair ones are to a certain extent for
tunate in this clubs recent decision.
After considerable discussion, very
had. the open championship was voted
to Garden City and the place of the wom-
ems championship was left to the execu-
tive committee. The dates of all the
championships were left to the executive
committee, but they will be about the
same as last year.
Changes in Rules Suggested.
President Robertson outlined the sug-
gestions of the old executive committee
to the incoming one and asked that the
delegates vote that the suggestions be
considered and acted on at a special
meeting. The suggestions were regarding
changes in both the constitution and by
laws.
One change was that hereafter ali clubs
should have equal representation on pay
ment of the same dues; another that six
ty-four should qualify for the amateur
championship at medal play. to keep on
at eightee n-hole match play rounds until
the final, which would be at thirty-six
holes. On vote of Mr.. Parrish the incom-
ing executive committee was authorized
to speedily call special congress of the
association to act on all the suggestions.
