ACQUIRE THE ART
 OF TALKING WE'LL

Have you sympathy with all that lives and do you habitually put out good will to every human being- Then you have the foundation for really brilliant conversationalist. That re- nowned and fascinating talker Sydney Smith was noted as one of the sweet est natured, most sympathetic men of his time. Putting out sympathy to- wards others and always putting your self mentally in their place is the quick est possible way to get away from yourself and that uneasy self conscious ness which Is the sole cause of awk- wardness. bashfulness and embarrass- ment.
 Next, know something to talk about. Keep track of current events; read al- ways in the papers the news of the world. Get all the knowledge you can on all subjects. not so as to merely re- peat 1t like the multiplication table, but hold it as fund to draw on when 1t Is wanted to illustrate some topic under consideration. Intellectual men often say they find women stupid, because the women know nothing outside of fashions. gossip concerning persons and the narrow, humdrum domestic sphere.
 Read every year several good books, not always novels. but volumes connect CQ W4lh AdppChAA6c IuSOTleS that interest humanity. Moreover, don't use many words, Gossip concerning the private affairs of other persons is not conversation. A woman may &C., cumulate and store up knowledge of all the scandal, all the new dresses, all the happenings in the respective sacred home circles of her acquaintances; she may spend two hours pouring this stuff into her neighbours ear, yet not one word of genuine conversation has she uttered. She who would really talk we'll must shun such matters They are things no lady can permit herself to repeat. They degrade and darken the mind.
 In this grand world fortunately there Is enough to talk about that has real wit and wisdom in it without descendE Ing to gossip.
 Nothing adds more charm to conver- sation than clear, musical voice, and this is within reach of every woman. Many Americans have the very bad habit of articulating their words back In the throat, which causes the sound itself to escape partly through the nose and in a untitled. rasping way which Is excruciating to the cultivated ear. To avoid this simply form your words at the front of your mouth, just where the lips, teeth and tip of the tongue meet. Practice this little to yourself, and your ear will note in- stantly the difference betwSen the clear frontal articulation and the disagree

Young women Travelling Alone.

Following are the cautions to young women travelling alone which have been issued by the international board of Women's and Young Women's Chris tian associations:
 Do not start for a strange city or town for even a night without previ- ous information of a safe place to stop.
 Do not leave home without some money for an imergency.
 Do not ask or take information or di- rections except from officials.
 Do not trust attentions on the trains or elsewhere from men or women. Re- port annoying advances to conductor or policeman.
 The board was moved to take this action by the frequent reports of young women being misIed through trusting strangers. It is well known that there is a certain class always ready to prey upon unsophisttcated girls who are travelling alone.
 There are matrons in all large rail- road stations who win care for women that need aid of any kind. If a young woman reaches a strange city without knowing where to stop she should in- ouire of the policeman or the station master where she can find the matron. Then she should consult the matron. If there Is no matron she should take ad- vice from the uniformed officials on- ly.
 When a man or woman forces his or her attentions on the lonely traveller 1t is the easiest thing in the world to call the conductor or the policeman and simply say: ,,,
 ''This person is annying me. VIII you please have him stop it?'
 That will very quickly cause any an- noyance to cease.

nnn,t Grnu Old.

Many women become middle aged from the simple reason that they allow middle aged habits to steal upon them and relapse into a state of physical in- dolence just at time when they should fight against this tendency to give up exercise. The best preventives against growing middle aged" says a charming woman of forty-flve whose unwrinkled face and slim figure give her the ap- pearance of beF7g at least fifteen years younger than her real age. "are cheer fulness, a strict determination not to worry over trifles and a sense of hu- nor that saves one from depression. A cold tub every morning. a walk every day in rain and sunshine. face massage with cold cream at night, ten minutes physical exercise immediately on ris- ing. friction of the scalp to stimulate growth of the hair will keep any wo- man free from wrinkles and will pre- serve the contour of her figure"

I am sorry for those who have never replaced old friends by new. for they will find themselves very solitary in later years" Truly a sage remark, and one whose truth she has tested her

Making Er,eUda

A writer says truly: One often hears the remark, and probably makes 1t oneself, that there are mo friends like old friends" And I have known peo- pie to maintain with pride that tRey have no desire to enlarge theIg visiting list. no wish to go to functions at which they may encounter strangers. A re- mark made by a wise old lady of over eighty years of age once caused me to ponder over this friendship making. She. needless to say. was a very old friend in more ways than one, and to .hAr let fall the hackneyed remark

LEASE NEW EXCHANGE

James E. Hickey, proprietor of the Kimball House in Atlanta may lease and manage the New Exchange Hotel of Montgomery when it is completed on october 1st.
 The Atlanta Constitution of yester- day announced definitely that MT. Hickey had leased the New Exchange, but this was denied by a prominent stockholder of the Montgomery Hotel Company owners of the property.
 sNegotiations are pending with MT. Hickey" sand this ctockholder, but they have not been consummated. MT. Hickey will come to Montgomery Mon day at which time It is more than probable a contract will be signed"
 Tt is true" said MT. Hickey, at the Kimball Friday night, when asked by q reporter of The Constitution for a confirmation of the rumor that he had leased the house. but I did not con template saying anything about 1t until t1 had signed the lease. The lease will De here in the morning, and the next mnaiI will carry back the copy that should be returned The house will be one of the three hotels with every up-to-d date convenience in the South the St. Charles, of New Orleans; the Piedmont, of Atlanta, and the New EX- change, of Montgomery. will be in a class by themselves.
 @No, I do not intend to dispose of my holdings in Atlanta. I am able to carry all l have, and for that reason do not think I should let loose any thing I have here, as 1t is sure to be worth just as much to me at any time in the future as 1t would be worth to any one else. I shall keep even the vacant lots I have I am not com pelled to sell. and for that reason will hold on to what I have"
 Mr. Hickey's many friends in Atlan- to, The Constitution adds, will regret his departure from the city. as he has always been in the forefront whenever tt came to working for Atlanta's good. n him, Montgomery will gain an en- ergetic, pushing, progressive citizen, one who will, at all times. be ready to drop his hand Into his pocket for any thing contemplated to advance the city of his adoption.

in me the contrary happens" The world, writes Mir. Hudson, which to most of. as is a world of flesh and blood, 10 Spencer was rather a world of ab- stract principles. It was his great mis- fortune in boyhood, as he recognizes to the full, to have no brothers or sis ters, and what in after life he needed before all things was just that plexus of common human relationships, in- terests, responsibilities. from which for one and another reason-his early pow erty and struggles. his self devotion to a gigantic task, the isolation which this entalled, his breakdown in health-he was actually debarred.
 It is at once pathetic and suggestive to find him longing" to have his "af- fections called out," hoping at thirty five ito begin to live some day" and discovering amid all the ennui of inva- lidism of his old age that his keenest pleasure was furnished by the society of two little girls, children of a friend who Tent them" to him at his request.
