Is said to be an exquisite domestic story
of love and family devotion. Tact Is
suggested in the title, for the Warrens
OF Virginia are a Southern family closely
bound in mutual interest and affection.
Every member Of this family forms a
character in the drama. and around
their domestic life and their individual
lives springs the plot.

HOW TO MAKE OTHERS CONVERSE
A SOCIAL ART WORTH HAVING

It seems TO be true of human nature
that most persons would rather talk
than lisIen. The oEIy trouble is at the
beginning. But an individual who Is
content to play audience is so rare that
takers rise up and call her blessed,
ana her popularity increases even as the
green bay tree. Men usually call such
q woman intelligent" and other wom-
en- think her a dear because she is so
much more interested in hearing their
Joys and sorrows than in trying to air
her own. Therefore they confide in her,
and the amount of information that one
who Is willing TO play audience gamers
during the course OF a year Is astonish-
Ing.
Much conversation is choked OF fire.
Quently, especially when the takers are
young people. by a refusal on the part
Of some to admit Ignorance on the topic
IN question. There seems 70 be an idea
suca an admission Is cause for being
ashamed.
40 greater mistake Than this can be
made, and instead OF being AFRAID 70
say that one does not know, Il is better
70 swing 10 the other extreme and
plead ignorance even when one does
know. There Is always some one most
ready to tell all about II, and experience
will demonstrate how often the know
# ala" know It wrong. This Is amusing
10 the listener and at the same time the
main purpose of the moment has been
accomplished, which was TO make the
other person do the talking and enjoy
himself.
Frequently. too. valuable information
is acquired and ones own store Of
knowledge Is increased materially.
To pretend that one already knows
whatever there Is 10 be told OF whatever
the topic may be is to cut oneself OF
entirely from learning anything Of IL
and at the same time Is absolute death
10 conversation. No one can know
everything, but there is no better way
or picking up i'd bits Of knowledge
and at the same time gaining a reputa-
ten OF being a good listener than by
admitting ignorance upon the matter

Novelty Ribbons In Vogue

Ribbons are playing a very large part

even as whole garments, as for some

and especially evening wraps. Tea

CORRECT WAYS OF COMBING
AND BRUSHING LONG HAIR

that is 10 say, teeth only half the way.
1 think Il is true, though, that rubber is
not good for dry hair. for it seems 10 in
crease the electricity if any is present
IL may he that the rubber, being a nom
conductor, throws all the electricity
back into the hair. The science Of this
Is beyond me. but / would recommend a
woman whose hair is dry t. use an
livery or horn comb.
The way to remove dandruff should be
understood so that the scurf Faay not be

To do this successfully, part the hair
and brush 1t down smooth. Then take
the comb, and instead of holding as
when it IS to be drawn through the half
tilt it a little resting the tech against
the spot of dandruff With the conn
thus inclined, gently rub the dandrum IN
such a way that the Scurf IS l0oseIeu
without the scalp being dug. Digging
or irritating will be done If the comb is
not used sidewise.
Once the dandruff is loosened, take the
brush and with the brlsties or me cage
dust along the dandrum precisely as You
would remove the dirt from DIT OF
cloth. In this way the whole head may
be gone over, If necessary, ana CRY

brushes must be adapted to the kind
OF nair on which they are used. but as a
rule those that are long and falrIy sum
are best. Do not fail TO buy sood
quality brush and keep 1t clean. A dirty
one will not stimulate the scalp and at
the same time remove dust from the
long hair. Lint, etc, gathers with IN

Bristles should reach the scalp, but

that which is brushed has more chance

oily variety.

while brushes ana combs are improperly
applied, for the damage that can be
done in five minutes with either of these
by breaking the hair or inhaming the
scalp may take many months TO repair.
This is a fact that should never be for
gotten.
If a persons hair is thick or heavy,
two combs are required-a coarse one
and another with fine teeth.
The coarse comb should be used first
TO get out the tangles- To do this with

must be acquired.

ing upward by degrees. putting in the
comb so that only a few hairs are taken
at time. and gently dfawing and work
ing to the ends. Each time the teeth
can be set in a little higher. and in this
way the tangle is gradually but entirely
smoOthed. This rule of always keeping
the comb Just below a tangle should
never be forgotten.
The fine comb is for a second service,
OF finish, and is only finer by compari-
son. IN my opinion, the so-called fine
tooth comb should never be used. It
irritates the scalp and breaks the hair
For the same reasons no combs with
broken teeth should be used. They in
variably catch separate hairs and snap
them on If however, for reasons Of
economy one must be used after two or
more teeth are broken out, smooth down

To be able to make another person
converse is a social art worth having
In so doing one not only gets new and
vailed ideas, but Is also saved ths
bother of carrying the brunt OF the talk,
and when one Is tired or out of humoF
this is undoubtedly a help.
You sometimes hear women say that
before going TO dinner or TO other en-
tertainmente at which there viii be
conversation they think up topics on
which to talk. This is rot half so sat
isfactory as to spend time acquiring the
art Of making others do the talking.
Two very good reasons for listening
are that a good listener is popular, and
the second that IN this way one &C
auires all sorts OF information. some
useful. some not worth keeping, and
stiu another kind that is amusing. A
third most excellent reason is that
each person has a hobby or some one
thing IN which he or she is interested.
To hit upon this, and draw out the
talker is to make one appear at his
best, and usually to be decidedly in
teresting to the listener
Unfortunately there IS no rule by
which one can tell precisely what the
fad may be, but there is frequently
some basis upon which to start One
rarely meets a stranger without know
ing something of them first. and Il is
possible 10 lead up to that subject for
which only an interested listener Is
necessary TO make the other talk

There is no doubt. by the way the
ether responds. as to whether the talkel
is entertained or is merely trying tc
respond to advances made. There vii

topic is brought up, and the person who
has begun il has merely to sit bach

enough questions to keen, the other &c
