DR.. E. Pittwood, who for the last

out notes, at any time.
But if don't play, what shall do? -
asks the unmusical girl.
Well, perhaps you can recite. Ii you
have any gift that way. though it's far
too slender for professional training.
it's good thing If you can possibly
afford the time and money to train 1t
TO use for your own and your friends
entertainment.
The girl who can spring up and re-
cite a clever monologue or a funny
poem to bridge gap of boredom is as
popular a guest as the musical lady.
And if You haven't any talent like
these? Well, there are other parlor
tricks not to be despised.
Can't you remember some new nom
sense rhymes and start the crowd
swapping them?
Can't you remember how to do some
clever little card trick or some other
amusing trick?
Can't you. instead of forgetting them
just as promptly as You learn them. as
many people do, keep stock of the
funny little games you've played or
stunts" you've done at other "soirees'
and be ready to produce them any time
they're needed?
All these things sound absurdly SIM
pie, and yet l know great many girls
who. when the fun lags, know no way
whatsoever of starting it along.
Of course, there are foolish people
who are always trying to put them
selves forward and keep the attention
