How TO Converse We'll

Remember that conversation is an art
II takes time. thought. and experience
10 develop the faculty of conversing
properly.
The secret Of successful conversation is
contained in the faculty of being able
70 make the other person talk. If you
find yourself doing all the talking YOU
may depend upon 1t the other person
IS managing you If you make the
other person talk you are master.
Study the person with whom you are
conversing. and lead to subjects with
which he Is familiar. Avoid the apoIo-
getic mood: 1t always is weakening to
the character. Do not let conversation
drift to any subject. Begin the attack
with something definite and force your
partner TO show his powers.
Do not talk about the weather, yo,ir
illness. or the maladies of YOUR
friends: society is a place for the inter-
change of only bright and pleasant
thoughts. Leave the "grinds' at home
Never talk about yourself, and il you
find the conN ersaticn drifting that wav

not lead willingly into the subjects CT
politics or religion unless you know the

The secret OF a good conversational
ist is TO be always rapt and attentive
listener. No matter what foolishness
your partner is talking, always listen,
for 1t is the good listener who capti-
Yates and conquers.

Sewing on Buttons.

While lace buttons are pretty, they
never should be used except on the
sheerest OF frocks or waists. such as
perline lawn, mercerized batiste or or
candle. They do not wear. no matter
how carefully they are treated in the
laundering. and are far too expensive
for the ordinary purse. There is only
one way TO make them last even on
these fine materials, and that way is 10
sew them on up and down through
them. Not many women know that this
can be done. but it can, for these lace
buttons are made with little bone but
tons as foundations, which have a tiny
hole in them. Sewing on buttons IS
something of an art and there are sew
eral ways which make them stay on
better. One way is 10 place the knot
of your thread on the side where the
button IS TO be sewn, resting the but
Ion on IL and then sewing up and down
over the knot In protecting the knot
you protect your button. since once
the knot is ironcd off the button loosens
Immediately. Another way is TO run
pin under your button while you are
sewing it on. That allows the thread
enough to play so that the button does
not lie too close TO the material and is
a particularly good method when sewing
on trouser buttons or buttons on chill
Gren's undeTwaists. where the buttons
must answer for keeping in position
several articles of apparel Four-hole
buttons should be sewn on first through
the two holes at one side and then the
two holes at the other. never. by any
crossing the threads diagonaliy
When buttons are sewn on diagonally
they almost invariably break. taking
out the enire center Of the buttons.
Another point in regard TO the but
tons ard button holes which is well
worth knowing in that of reinforcing
the material down both sides OF a
waist where 1t is fastened by adding an
extra fold OF material in each hem. This
may be done by laying one wide hem
and then laying another the same
width, which gives three thicknesses Of
material instead Of two. On the sides
where the buttons are to go. sew inside
tonholcs similarly.

HeOIth Hints

To promote childs appetite. give Il

habits regular, and give it nothing but
plain, wholesome food. Rich cakes, pick
les, condiments, and made dishes are
not fit for children. and INDULGENCE in

Is almost as restful as a nap. Let the
child paddle in the water until It cools

often is necessary. Two or three pints

OVERSEER is APPOINTED

A. II. De Wolf has been notified
by the clerk of the board of cmnty
commissi oners that that body has de
cided not to reopen the election Of a
road overseer for road district lumber
%, but have found him qualified to
fill that position and have appointed
him to act as overseer. There will be
no hearing of the case as was ap-
pointed.
This act settles the question that
has been uppermost in the minds of
the settlers Of Cougar Gulch for some
time. A review of the case shows
that the majority of the settlers in
that vicinity have directly favored De
Wolf from the time of the election.
A protest was made and the ballots
we're recanvassed. This disclosed the
fact that number of the voters of
Sherman precinct who work in the
Cougar Guloh district had voted for
Rhodius and the entire election was
disqualified. A petition was received
by the commissioners which was
signed by the majority of the resi-
dents of the district, and acting on
the recommendation of the petition,
De Wolf was appointed.
