novelist became interested in him and
introduced him to the sights Of Paris. !;

STEVENSON ON THE ART OF
TALKING,

There can be no fairer ambition
than to excel in talk; to be affable,
gay. ready, clear and welcome; to
have fact, thought, or an illus
tration, pat to every subject; and not
only to cheer the fight Of time among
our intimates, but bear our part in
that great international congress, al
ways sitting, where public wrongs
are first declared, public errors first
corrected, and the course OF public
opinion shaped, day by day, little
nearer to the right.
This is the conclusion Of Robert
Louis Stevenson, who adds: No
measure comes before Parliament
but it has been long ago prepared by
the grand jury of the takers; no
book Il written that has not been
largely composed by their assistance.
Literature in many of its branches l.
no other than the shadow Of good
talk; but the imitation falls far short
Of the original in life, freedom and
effect. There are always two 10 a
talk, giving and taking, comparing
experience and according conclusions
Talk is fluid. tentative, continually

cannot, even IL 1t would, become mere
ly esthetic or merely classical. like
literature. a jest intervenes, the
solemn humbug II dissolved id laugh
ter, the speech runs forth out of
The contemporary grooves into
the open fields Of nature, CHEEKY and

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman de-
livered an address i'm New York city
the other day in which she predicts
that the home of the future will have
it, grass plot and its hearthstone and
it's children, but no kitchen. She
thinks the housewife i'm the future
will do her ordering the night before
from laboratory conducted for the
special purpose of supplying kitchen
less homes with food to be delivered
in thermos boxes. Fifty per cent Of
the people OF the world, she estimates,
are now busy waiting on the other so
per cent, and vet the work could
be done by z per cent.
Miss Gilman contends that the
whole trouble lies i'm the fact that
domestic affairs are carried on in a
primitive, inefficient, unsatisfactory
manner Transfer the cooking to a
laboratory. abolish the kitchen, dis
pense with the culinary help, order
your food delivered in thermos boxes,
and we will be merged into an era Of
progress and improvement.
