bravado-her sbject timidity and

She has no capacity for expert

frequently happens that the de-

subject that interests the men to
whom they talk. Therefore, they
acutely bore these gentlemen in

Like most advice furnished US
in prepared capsules, that advice

interests, one should be quite sure
that one knows something about
those interests. Otherwise, a safe
rule is to let the other person talk.

Somewhere, H. F. B., there is,
