Concentration
ny LILLIAN RUSSELL.

DID you ever listen To woman's glib
tongue run the scale Of social Cos
sip-from the weather to the latest
scandal-almost between breaths while
YOU knew from the expression of her
auditors face and her restlcssncss that
she, while seemingly politely listening,
was attempting to curb mind that
continually shot off n n tangent from
the subject discussed? That is n pretty
long sentence, but want at once to call
Your attention 10 two types OF women.
There are women who seem to be
unable to concentrate their minds upon
given subject for two consecutive
seconds. They are the sort that will
give even the normal woman the fidg-
cts. The woman who can concentrate
her mind upon the subject under dis
cussion is an interesting conversations
hiist. She is also good listener The
high tension under which society
women, especially. are living these days
Is rapidly increasing the number of
nervous temperaments, and also. the
cases OF nervous prostration, as il is
generally called.
! know that many women who call
upon their physicians when they find
they are i'll are first subjected to Il
concentration test The patients may
not know II, but through this test the
trained mind of'the physician can max o
complete diagnosis of the condition
of the nerves.
Aside from the fact that the mind
which fits from subject to subject,
while the tongue ways INCREASINGLY, in
dicates nervous disorder. the pos
SCISSOR is far from interesting She Is
neither an interesting talker nor n
good listener. She Is the woman who
makes those thoughtless remarks that

poses her Ignorance.
