A Work Apron

\ NOVEL work apron with bretelles,
IN one that can be worn when en-
broidering or presiding over chafng
dish, is made OF white linen having
daintily worked scalloped pattern
all around the edge. The apron part
is rounded at the bottom corners and
is narrowed at the waist having a
few tiny pleats where 1t joins the
belt. On the under side OF the apron,
starting at the belt, is sewn a mar
row strip of linen, following the out
line of the apron and continuing on
up the other side OF the belt In the
center at the bottom two buttonholes
are worked and then ribbon is run In
this casing, the upper ends being well
fastened at the waist, while the other
ends come through the buttonholes to
the outside, where they are tied in a
bow
When the apron is worn plain with
out the pocket effect the bow remains
in this position. but when the use OF
the pocket is desired the knot is lifted
up 10 the waist line, thus gathering the
apron so that it forms pocket, and the
bow is then hooked to an invisible eye

There are courtesies in conversation

she happens to prefer golf to other

Girls, you can chatter. but can you
converse? And have you thought
much about the difference in mean
ing between the two words?
If you look them up in the diction-
ary you Will find that to chatter means
to talk idly; whereas to converse is
ito discourse" Discourse may seem
to you a ponderous and somewhat for
midable word. suggestive OF a sermon
or lecture, but as a matter of fact il
is merely a scholarly way OF describ-
ing intelligent talk.
Intelligent talk is what is meant by
that charming. quaint old phrase 'the
gentle art of conversation" And there
is also its sister, equally important,
but not always so well understood, the
gentle art of listening. To practice
and become proficient in both those
arts is we'll worth while. for they add
greatly to ones attractiveness, and in
deed a girl may make herself a favorite
by the possession OF these two ac-
complishments alone.
To talk well one must have ideas.
opinions and some facility in express
ing them. but one does not have TO
be highly educated or superlatively
well informed. Indeed the intelligence
of the average young girl is sufficient
to enable her to talk agreeably on
the subjects which she finds most in
teresting.
Now, most of us are interested in a
variety of things, and 1t is an impor-
tant factor in the art OF conversation
TO adapt ones talk to ones audience.
For instance, II you are a tennis en-
thusiast and introduce the topic to a
person who does not play. and per-
haps Is not athletic in any sense, 1t Is
more than probable that your compan-
ion is not interested and merely listens
out of politeness, an attitude which
soon reveals itself in a lack of close
attention on the part of the listener.
The clever talker should always be
on the lookout for these signs, which
observation Will teach her to discern
instantly, and when she sees lack Of
interest on the part OF her listener
she Will instantly lead the talk into
another until she hits upon something
responds to. Then there is what the
take--altogether the most delightful
form of talk. for each side is interested
and each has an equal share.
Don't be a conversational bore. This
trying type OF person is monopolist-
an incessant talker, who tiresomely
flows on like the babbling brook about
subjects OF interest to her, without
the slightest thought as to whether
others care about them or not This
bore is a shocking offender, because.
in addition to her rudely being a mo-
nopolist, she Is invariably know

II is always easier TO trim a hat

the task is particularly easy because

is possible to find a wire shape having
a large crown and a comparatively
small width OF brim. this style Of hat is
well within the limitations OF the most
inexperienced home milliner. The wire
