The admission of the general public until after

fessiona1 people lately the social qualities of an
American. The men at once interested and
responsive but the women sat silent, ewing the new
conner with disapproval. A woman who could hold
her own in conversation like that offensive
to their prejudices young woman who played
and sang quite like professional person, my
dear - used to be to their Observation-Disclosures They
scented some reason not complimentary to her
morals to account for her charm and bore themselves
toward her with that dignity which has been defined
"a mysterious carriage of the body, to cover
defects of the mind" Only dull mediocrity tenn
pered by mannerisms is acceptable to these women.
They root-bound by convention, and nothing
but transportation into a larger life would save
them.
If the average Englishwoman was judged by
her conversation, would say that want of
intelligence her principal Characteristic; but
it is not want of intelligence often want
of the means to develop her intelligence from
which she suffers want of mental stimulant.
She lives in a vicious circle, state of intellec-
tual bondage; because she is uninteresting, none
interest themselves in her, and because none in
terest themselves in her she remains uninterest-
ing. Many with larger minds and wider interests

the captivating of all is usually only advanced
in desperation when something civil must be said
about ugly person. There must surely be a
radical mistake somewhere in the modern Higher
Education of women called since it has lessened
rather than added to their social qualities mathe-
mates without manners being the commonest
result.
Nothing in life is more cheerful than pleasant
conversation, nothing healthily stimulating
both to the functions of the body and the activity
of the mind. The cultivation of the easy exchange
of thought aud experience which makes conversation
one of the seat enjoyments of life, the one from
which is drawn the happiest sense of satisfac
ton, the glow of the highest enthusiasm the saving
consolation of hope, should surely be encouraged,
not art but duty.

the middle classes are silent in their families and
IN assemblies that should be mixed they get to-
gether and talk to each other The women thus
left to themselves have small matter for CONVEX
satlon that is not trivial and vapd; their interests
are chiefly parochial; great events in the outside
world make little impression upon them and there
is nothing to them from their habtual apathy
but the numerous scandals mostly fictitious and the
occasional startling calamties of their own imme-
date neighborhood An earthquake would be
ver1tabe godsend; it would give them something
important to talk about One of the rarest luxures
they allow themselves is the luxury of being kindly
disposed toward anyone outside of their own par
ticular clique; but sort of enjoyment accom-
panes the shock of some tragic event which rouses
them momentarily to unwonted and farther-reach-
ing benevolence
The well-bred who have by inheritance an
aptitude for every kind of culture and the
instinct of politeness, which makes them habitua1ly
agreeable, are astc1ished and repealed by nothing
so much as the personal bias and the egotism of

nice tact in conversation that
even their jests at ones own
