ATTENTION. Young Ladies.

If you would win laurels as a bright
conversationalist, first impress your
mind with the fact that it is not flow
of words that you need, but ability to
Sirect your conversation.
You must practice the art of stating
a thought, keeping the talk general
or making the guest of honor the APP
parent leader.
You must draw out the timid, avoid
dangerous channels and make every
man and woman about you appear at
his or her best, while your own efforts
are confined to an occasional word to
fill a gap.
When you are trying to make COM
pany a conversational success, always
avoid a rafting liveliness on your own
part.
Don't imagine that to be clever
person you must be a wit.
Your main object is to make yourself
interesting without being obtrusive-
to keep yourself in the background
while you direct the general converse
ton
1t is a wonderfully interesting ac-
complishment
You learn to note the slightest change
in facial expression. The CULVER of an
eyelid or the movement of a lip tells
you a story. You see pleasure, anger,
interest or dislike where another de-
tects no thought.

The Parish Gossiper.

Among the thorns that grow in every
parish there is none with sharper
thrust and more biting sting than the
gossiper In some parishes they grow
on separate stocks and in others in
punches. They are, however, in both
cases the very worst nuisances, but
withal of pious practices, which only
makes one feel the more like praying
for their deportation.
Their predominating passion seems
to run towards uncharitable converse
ton. The good deeds of their neigh
bors are never repeated. But the
faults, real or imaginary. are always
magnified like their own supposed viz
tues. If they can find nothing serious
to condemn, it is remarkable with what
facility something is invented. But to
the villainy of their own vicious
tongues they are absolutely blinded.
When they wish however, to make
a more than ordinary show of wisdom
and knowledge. then it is the pastor
who is made the subject of their at
tack. His words are distorted and his
actions misjudged or misrepresented.
Worse still, we have heard them utter
even positive lies against him.

Sweet Potatoes Cooked by Nanny.

A southern nanny prepares her
sweet potatoes with syrup. They are
boiled till tender, but not too thorough
ly done, and then cut into halves and
put in pan and thick syrup poured
over them before they are baked in

caramel potato; so sweet, however, that
to the northern taste, at least, more
than one piece is cloying.
