Advice to the Lovelorn

CONVERSATION

Dear MISS FairfaN:-I am a young
girl, and find it difficult to keep up
conversation with any of my boy
friends. Other girls. have noticed
keep them amused and laughing.
never know what to say. What
should one do when at a loss for
words? What should you say on be-
ing introduced to an older person?-
B. L.
When You are introduced simply
hold out your hand cordially and re-
peat the name of the person you are
meeting. Say how do you do, or that
since you have heard so much about
him or her. you are glad to meet at
at last. Don't try to force a CONVEX
alton or do 1t all yourself. The best
takers are often only good listeners.
The thing in which the other person
Is interested is the one about which
he or she will most enjoy talking.
Don't think about yourself. but try to
make a guess at what the other per-
son is thinking about or what appeals
to him. If you can temporarily put
yourself in the background and feel
that the person Is self-conscious and
Ill at ease and that It is your partic-
ular job to make him or her comfort
able. you will find your whole atti-
tude altered. Read newspapers and
magazines, the topics OF the day.
What do you know about the war?
The campaign under the crown
prince? Are you posted about our
own political affairs? Do you know
anything about baseball in the big
leagues or anything under the sun
outside of your own personal sphere?
You can't talk unless you have some
thing to talk about.
