Not only to say the right thing in
N the right place, but far more
difficult still, is to leave un-
said the wrong thing at the tempting
moment.
Every woman who is at all fond of
society desires to be popular.
Now what a certain old writer
quantity refers to as "the gentle art
of conversation is of great assistance
to the young woman who wants to
become a favorite in her social set.
Society likes to be amused and the
person who is an entertaining talker
never lacks invitations.
To talk entertainingly does not
necessarily mean to talk great deal
or to monopolize the conversation.
Some women talk nearly all the time
and bore everybody who listens to
them with their inane chatter.
The art of conversation is sort
of game of give and take. You make
a remark about something which
amuses or interests you. This i'm
mediately suggests something else to
me, which 1 proceed to relate, and I
naturally expect you to betray the
same interest in my conversation that
I have already shown to your re-
marks, and so the game goes on.
But If one person persists in sell
f1shly monopolizfng the talk all spon-
taneity goes at once and the listen
ers are bored instead Of being amused
and interested, as they would have
been If they could have expressed
their own views on the subject.
To talk well one must have at least
a few ideas and opinions, and little
facility In expressing them, but one
does not have to be either highly
educated or super1atively well in
formed, As that clever man and
well-kn0wn novelist, Marion Craw-
ford, once said: ct is the individual,
not the topic, that1akes the CONVEX
satioa; If a man can talk well, grave
yards are as good q subject as the
latest novel, and ne will make tomb
stones more attractive than scandal"
It fs not in the power of everyone

UNEASY CONVERSATION

to be brilliant or amusing, but with
little thought any passing event may
always give rise to pleasant chats.
One owes it to ones hostess as well
as ones self to make at least a small
effort to be entertaining. To sit silent
at a dinner party or to answer in
monosyliables is extremely ill-bred
and certainly does not tend to make
either man or woman popular.
Ii some fine converse tionaIists like
poets, are born, not made, others can
be manufactured by diligent and well
directed effort. If you realize that
you are deficient in this respect, there
Is no harm in a little examining be-
fore you attend a dinner, a dance or
any function, where small talk is the
order of the day, or rather evening.
By "cramming'' I mean giving a
little thought beforehand to what one
wants to say. Perhaps to refresh the
memory by re-reading some funny
story that one has come across in the
newspaper or in some magazine. It
is not necessary to tell it in the exact
words of the original. Just get the
gist of it and don't forget the point,
that is ALL
And right here it might be well to
caution the person who wants to be
an entertaining taIker not to make a
humorous anecdote too long, but to
come as quickly 70 the point as you
can without spelling the story. It
takes an accomplished raconteur to
hold ones interest throughout long
anecdote; the average conversation
alist is more popular and entertain
ing if he makes his narratives short.
Tt is not a bad plan to think over
the plays one has seen recently, the
good music one has heard, either at
concert or opera, or anything that
has happened that is at all likely to
interest strangers.
After awhile, when to talk gener-
a1fties has become more or less Of a
habit, this preliminary studying over
what one shall say will, Of course,
not be necessary. But for a begin

NEW SHADES

NJ W shades should be rolled up for
N a while at first. The shading
is apt to be new and fresh,
which causes it to curl on the edges.
Be sure and roll a new shade exactly
it gets it's set from the first rolling
and will roll the same way after
ward. IF it is rolled crooked at first
it will roll crooked as long as 1t can
be rolled on a roller.
In restricting a wornout hem on a
shade use as long a stitch as can be
made; short stitch cuts and the hem
will tear off in short time. A win
dow shade may be made bright by
laying on the floor and cleaning with
a damp cloth or sponge and little
soapy water. Be careful not to soak
it or make it too weak. Allow it to
dry before putting back on the win
dow.
A thing not often attempted, yet
comparatively easy to do, is to re-
paint window shades. Take the shade
off the roller by removing the tacks;
mix the desired color, using ordi-
nary oil paint, minus nearly all the
oil, or, in other words, use turpentine
color, ready mixed paint with the oil
poured OF and thfnned with turpen
tine or benzine. Use a wide brush.
starting at the top. After applying
the paint by brushing crosswise re-
brush 1engthwise or up and down,
dry, and put on second coat. Then
when dry turn over and paint the
other side, either the same color or
another color is desired.

THE REAL VALUE

What You Eat Does Not Nourish
You Unless 1t Is Digested.

One of the commonest ailments of tho
day is inability to derive benefit from
the food taken. Food that does not

Food that fails to digest ferments.

of fermentation cause heartburn. DR..

strength by enabling the blood to take
up and profit by the food we eat. They
