The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1906-01-19

A girl who takes her little share In
school dramatics will by ano by DO q
graceful hostess In her home, and II
the opportunity arises, she win be
able easily to entertain her friends,
and to arrange pleasant evenings for
little social groups. In her <church.
her guild, her league, her Christian
Endeavor society. or her club, she will
hold her own.
1t was said OF Queen Victoria that
she never was afraid of a vacant space
In front OF her. I have seen girls who
hesitated and shrunk from crossing
a drawing-room filled with people.
The bane Of any life, the thing that
makes one awkward, shy and clumsy.
Is self-consciousness. 1t Is at the root
Of the hampering difidence which Is
a very different affair from modesty.
For many reasons aside from pres
ent strengthening Of memory and from
obtaining familiarity with good litera-
ture, school dramatics are an approved
portion of u school system.
wish the girls who read this would
take the trouble to write and tell me
