seemed over for good. Gertrude stood
smiling in the hall, with her hat quite
over one ear, and her hair in every
direction under her pink veil. Ger
trude is a very pretty girl. no matter

ENerNdaN Innio.

Have you ever invited two people In
order to make them acquainted? Have
you ever ragged inwardly because the
whole affair was such a failure?
Neither woman would talk on any
subject save herself, and both sat in
the midst Of long sllences, staring at
each other, and then just as you had
given up hope another woman dropped
in casually. a woman who was in great
demand everywhere.
All of sudden you found out the
reason why. She took those two hu-
man icicles in hand, and the first thing
you knew she had them talking to each
other and then to her.
Well, that is the secret of the aver
age womans popularity.
She fits into any surroundings. She
Is at home with all sorts of people
She makes them feel thoroughly at
ease and brings out the best in them.
That is why they love to have her
around.
1t Is no fun to sit and listen to a
woman who glitters at the expense of
every one else.
But the woman who says just enougi.
to make US respond on the subjects
we know most about In our best vein
Is the one we simply adore, and we
can't be in her company too much.
