car. She was talking with man who sat beside her. She talked with every ounce of energy in her. She talked on commonplace theme, so violently that every muscle of her face worked. Conver- sa ton with her was continuous cyclone of the facial muscles The corners of her eyes twitched. Her eyelids jerked Her nostrils quivered. Her mouth twisted, which reminds me that Emma Trentini, the little Italian prima donna says that Americans are conscious that their faces la ok expression and try to make up for it by overworking their lips. What they intend for vivacity is mere contortion.
 The woman had been keeping up this storm of talk all her life. They who re- membered her girlhood said she had talked necessarily then, ana no one re- membered a time when she had been quiet. Nature takes Its revenge for such abuse of powers. When the woman reached middle age the bolt fell. Because she hadn't learned repose and cultivated boise while girl she is today in mad house.
 But loquaciousness is not alone a wom- ans vice. Men, having ensconced their generously sized pedals desk or coun- ter, and leaned their heads against, the wall become experts in that form of target practice called. Shooting off their mouth" There is something in this pie ture of a widely spreading UP that in- duces man to tell all he knows and a great deal he thinks he knows and that even his patient listeners know he doesn't Thus established on sunny spring aft ernoon, men talk themselves out of their jobs, out of business and out of sound
 repute in the community., All the world detests a loafer.
 When should we keep quiet? Generally How should we keep quiet? By strictly
 attending to the business in hand, which,
 unless you happen to be an orator on tour, isn't talking.
 Prudence bids us be silent. For he was
 a sage who said: Tell a secret to a friend
 and you may be putting weapon in the
 hands of an enemy"
 l Economy of good things prescribes it. Benjamin Franklin said Say nothing ex- cept what will benefit yourself or some
 one else"
 1 Consideration for others dictates a si- fence on our part. Others don't ask us to talk All they want is a respectful and admiring hearing.
 | Self-preservaton requires it. Success, long life and happiness depend upon con- l servaton Of energy. Instead of conserv- 1 in gour energies while we talk, we are exploding them.
 l Talk little about anything, and on one subject never talk Don't tell anyone it is pleasant or an unpleasant day. He
 has made that discovery without your aid.
