What To Do.

AS to memory for names, you can
strengthen that, first by associatine
the name with some impression or idea
which you can link with it in your
mind II YOU can not do It any other
way. write down the name of each new
person whom you meet. with the de-
scription of that person, some special
characteristic YOU have observed, and,
If possible, any ideas about the occu-.
patton and interests of your new ac-
quaintance
Many "A society woman famous for
her wonderful memory for names and
faces keeps such a book, and one Of our
most famous presidential candidates
kept a card index of all the people that
he knew, their interests. hobbies, etc,
tabulated according to towns. During
the campaign he'd come to some little
jumping Off place and, having care

that town, he would clap them ioyfuiy
on the back and inquire minutely about
their affairs displaying marvellous
knowledge or their family history. His
popularity was astounding, and his

ask her if she loves me or find another

If you loved her as desperately as
you claim, you would not dream Of
finding another girl" The only way to
learn if she loves you is to ask her.
And don't lose any time about it, either.

nobody will wish to run away from
you because of your chattering tongue.
OF course you are suffering agony be-
cause you never know what topic Of
conversation to begin on, and when
you look into the face of a stranger
who has just been introduced your
mind at once becomes a blank But
really it might be worse. Until you
find your tongue and become an easy
conversatOnalist, you might practice
being good listener. If the guests
you want to entertain are men you
will find that listening is more profit
able than speech.
Few women are attentive listeners,
and nothing is so hattering and so
courteous as the attitude of the good
listener.
Cultivate the art Of listening. and at
the same time make little mental
notes Of questions which arise in your
mind, and which will keep the one
sided conversation going in case the
speaker should subside.
The reason most women and almost
all girls and poor conversationalists
is that they can't keep their minds

In that one evening they achieved a
reputation for cleverness which they
were forced to live up to, and they read
up and learn by heart all the witty
stories and Jokes which they could get
hold of. The knowledge that they
could be entertaining soon made them
self possessed enough to bring out shy
and retiring guests and lead them on
to talk on interesting subjects. The
girls made a rule never to gossip, never
to talk about themselves, never TO say
a mean or unkind thing about any one
else; when all topics failed they told
one Of their carefully prepared stories
