to barber's. He was detained for a few mo-

his train was leaving and was about 75 yards out

character. and the musician finds such
color character even in his notes.-the
thinner sounds suggest the paler shades
and the fuller sounds are identified
with the warmer tones. Color Is a
world In itself: 1T hides itself behind the
world of music and wraps the listener
in its glow; it keeps alive the world of
art and glories in its own riches; it
places its life where the shadows were.
Nature gives her colors. the fire

Conversation

There are few accomplishments OF
greater Importance than a mastery OF
the art of conversation, and yet thou-
sands Of girls spend years In the s Iutiie
few of them have any talent, when
they might be much more profitably
employed in learning to talk 1ntelli-
gently and entertainingly. This does
not require special gift and may be
achieved by anybody with ordinary
PERSEVERANCE,.
IA good conversationalist knows how
and when to listen, as we'll as how and
when to talk. There is nothing more
stimulating and gratifying to a. speaker sia
intelligent questions at appropriate
places The effect is like that of throw
ing an occasional fagot on bright fire.
One may speak correctly, and even
elegantly, by the use of moderate
number of ordinary words. It is not
unusual expressions where some sim
pie Saxon phrase will fully convey the
meaning. The best speakers and writ
ers employ the simplest language. The
secret of good writing and correct
speaking lies in the possession of a
well selected vocabulary and a thor
ough knowledge of the meaning of
words contained in it. The working
vocabulary of professional writer's.
Journalists, novelists and the like rare
iy exceeds 5000 words and is often no
more than 5,OUO.
1t is a mistake to imagine that amia-
biIity demands constant agreement
with others. Any one who has devoted
thought to a subject is entitled to have
an opinion on that subject, and any in
! tellectual speaker enjoys the spur of
courteous contradiction or dissent.
Most people are apt to think contemp-
| tuously of a woman who has no mind
| of her own, and If mere words consti-
| tuted conversation photograph would
answer the purpose.
Quotations are usually distasteful to
| a cultivated mind, and an original
| thought, no matter how simple. is much
more pleasing than the repetition OF
| hackneyed lines.
Anecdote is a valuable adjunct to
| conversation. but it should not be al
lowed to develop into what some one
1 has described as ''anec-d -dotage." A
woman can seldom tell story with
| good effect, even though the facts are
