TO WIN SOCIAL SUCCESS.
It Is Necessary to Become a Good
Listener and Show Emotion over
Small Talk.


'One Of the first qualifications for q
man or woman who aims at being a
social success is the ability to talk
and listen 10 twaddle in such a way
that the face shall express all the
depths of pent up emotions, while the
ears drink in the trivialitles or the
tongue echoes the gossip OF scandal oi
! the hour"
This sentiment was uttered Will
much unction by man of uncertain
| ago, whose face and figure have for
years been familiar in the clubs, in the
bathrooms. and other places of social
resort in Chicago. His hearer was a
much younger man, whom by preCept
and BY example he was trying to mi
tiate into the mysteries Of social life,
says the Tribune.
The TWO men were az a theater
largely attended by the men and
women who collectively constitute tbs
mysterious entity, Chicago society, and
they were watching a couple seated in
one of the boxes. Now watch the
young man and woman closely" con.
tinued the mentor, "and tell me what
you think they are talking about. You
see that they are both young, both
handsome. | can tell you that they
are both rich and of high social stand

must make their acquaintance at once,
for no one can be in society without

can ;ell you just what the subject is.
You know that scandalous story
about two well-known people began
to circulate yesterday. That young
man knows all about 1t, for he has
excellent sources OF information. His
companion knows something about it
and is anxious to know more. He is
satisfying her curiosity, and they are
both gloating over the charming little
bit Of scandal. Bnt, my boy, they are
both artists and you must school
yourself to play your part as well as
they. The next time that you have
occasion 10 tell a girl how many thou
sand dollars arc involved in the latest
engagement transaction you must do
IT with the same caressing grace in
your gestures that this young fellow
brings into play, Then, as a reward
