Young, brave, intelligent, Ferreol's
principle Of life was to be aston1shed
at nothing. To weak and common souls
belonged the emotion Of surprise, and
he did not worry, as the ancient Gau-
lois, lest the heavens should fall upon
his head.
Moreover, he lacked for nothing, was
we'll off in the goods of the world,
burned his candles from start to finish,
joked at the past, laughed at the fu-
ture.
At Paris he encountered Angelo.
Charming Angelo. He loved her and
told her so. She listened. He men

Angelo was good and pretty.

to her.

Conversational HELPS.

The reason so many young girls are dull
when it comes TO conversing with intelli-
gent people is because they lack informa,,
ton in the matter of books and general
topics General information can be best
gotten from reading the current events
in some good magazines, where they are
given in a condensed form, or by reading
the daily papers.
The trouble with so many. young girls
is that they do not read at all, and those
who do read usually read few trashy
novels, which often add slang to their
vocabulary instead Of helping to purify
their language.
Another great help to clear and concise
language is listening to good lecturers and
! speakers, also conversing with intelligent
people If possible, always try to asso-
ciate with persons above you In intelli-
gence. rather than beneath you, is what
once heard a bright professor say.
