she was always unhappy be-
cause she couldn't think on
her feet as she called it. She
had a friend, a clubwoman from
Chicago, come to visit her, and
she was piping the old strain |
had so often heard, about not
being able to think on her feet
as the other women did. The
Chicago woman regarded her
intently for a moment, and then
said:
"Emeline, do l gather from
your remarks that you are so
green you actually think that all
the clever speeches we hear in
club meetings are impromptu?"
II like to think they are.
They sound So" reasoned Wife
weakly.

Chicago woman. Those
speeches that sound so smooth
have been rehearsed for weeks

Wife looked thoughtful. She
sighed; but she pro'ited. and
now when she is called upon for
an impromptu speech she is
prepared. She begins by saying
how unprepared she is. This is
for artistic effect. and by the
time she finishes up this point
she has found herself.
