No eavesdropper, you! You need no
architectural accessories to assist you in
listening. You are the girl who listenx
with one-third OF your attention to the
person who thinks he is talking to you
while you exercise an observant scrutiny
over half dozen other conversations.
You catch enough Of the talk across
the table to know that the two ladies there
are criucising the table decorations Yo<
snatch enough of the whispered converse
ton to your left to gather that the young
man is trying to make his peace with tn,
pretty girl. You listen to the general dis
cusston that is supposed to be absorbinF
the company; and you hear, too, the
aEides and asserts Of the man on you
right who has the duty of entertainlny
you on his shoulders.
Your interest in ali the conversations
you are not supposed to hear is an i'm
pertinence. Your effort to absorb the at
tentions OF the man is a selfish deception.

sarean ability TO do seven things at once
that you think you can keep him from no
