DO MEN LIKE TALKERS? is
QUERY M'LISS DISCUSSES
Madame Recamier, According to M. de Toqueville,
Said Very Little, and Yet She Had
4 Paris at Her Feet

with conversational topics would be
to insure the failure OF your eve
ming. Doubtless what you really need
is a fund Of small talk which is.as neces-
sary to the fulillment Of your desire as
small change Is necessary to the owner
Of a slot telephone. From my observa-
ton OF women 1 have drawn the conclu-
sion that those most attractive to the
opposite sex are seldom those who talk
the most. A description BY NJ. de Toque.
willie OF Madame Becamier, at the slight
est beckoning OF whose beautiful hand
the flower of intellectual and social
France did her bidding, is apropos.
MADAME Recamter." he writes, was
the delight OF Paris but she said very
little: she listened and smiled i1teligent-
", and from time to time tlr, ew in
question or a remark to show that she
understood you. From long habit she
knew what were the subjects on which
each guest showed to most advantage,
and she put him upon them. This was
not difficult for a guest knew better than
she did his fort. and seized the thread
that led to it. IL was only by inference,
only by inquiring why IT was that one
talked more easily at her house than any
where else that one discovered the per.
fection of her art"
There Is no bore greater than she
who. on frivolous occasions, trots out
all she knows. In my opinion it is far
better to seem to know less than you
really do than to attempt to impress
others with knowledge that you do not
possess.
The men thatlyou meet, Distressed. are
not going to like you for what you know;
they will like you for what you are, for
the naturalness and observation-disclosures
Of your manner, for the interest you take
in them. Don't try to impress them with
your cleverness, but make it subtly OBJ
vious that you are enormously impressed
with theirs. Emulate Madame Reca-
mier. MLISS.

Old-Fashioned Canning

II fruits are to be canned by the stew
ing process use porcelain or preserving
kettle and sterilize all utensils. Drop the
prepared fruit into the syrup and boil until
tender. Fill sterilized cans screw covers
into place, invert cans over night tighten
covers and seal edges with melted paraffin
Fruit canned by any process is better II
heated gently and gradually to the boiling
point.
Red raspberries are canned easily. Wash
and pick over about IL quarts of the berries.
heat two quarts of fruit in stone crock and
crush with a wooden vegetable masher.
Squeeze juice from the seeds in square Of
clean cheesecloth Turn juice into the
preserving kettle and mix with two and one

TL7HAT is the supreme desire Of
w woman? II she were asked to name
Il in a single wish, what would she say?
To be beautiful?
To be rich2
To know how to attract men?
Probably the last II she took time
enough to reflect on 1t, for what is beauty
or what is wealth to any woman If she
have not that feminine heritage which
causes men to flock to her even as they
flock to the ball game or the seaside on
week-ends7
The burden Of my correspondence, of
which the following letter is typical, is
penned by women who would be like
unto the honeyed blossom that draws the
bees or the flame with its fatal attraction
for the moths:
Dear M'I.iss-How can 1 talk to men
% as to hold their interest with my con-
versation? A good many girls of my
acquaintance have not nearly the intelli-
Eence that have. and yet they always
seem to have something to say, no mat
ter what man addresses them. My con-
versation seems always forced. l try
20 be bright and attractive, but somehow
even men who are not frivolous and have
good heads on their shoulders are not in
terested in me. l make very good sal
AIRY and am not badlooking. Will you
please suggest some topics so that the
next time 1 go out and meet strange
men 1 won't be left houndering around
hopelessly. 1 want men friends.

My correspondents question reminds
me of the case of the man who, in his
endeavor to be equal to any conversa-
tional emergency, undertook the study of
the encyclopedia. Unfortunately for him,
however. the conversation Of an assem-
blage on whom he was anxious to make
o particularly effective impression turned
TO Rameses, and he had not yet got down
TO the RS!
