HOPE GRANDMA GOT SPECS"
Old Lady Must Have Needed Them
Badly If the Following Anecdote
Is a True One.

A woman sailing in the Aquitania
recently held the following converse
ton by the aid of a man with meg
aphone with her granddaughter ON the
quay at Southampton as the vessel
was leaving:
What have you done with grand
mas spectacles?" bawled the man with
the megaphone. "She says you took
them from the piano to play with, and
you are a naughty child"
A leather-lunged official on the quay
put his hands to his mouth and an
swered "She says she gave them
back to YOU"
"She didn't" came the answer
"All right" came from the quay
"she remembers putting them on the
piano again. She will send them or
to YOU"
"Goodby, Effiew shouted the mega
phone man.
"Goodby, grandma !" was the reply

ERANKLY ask Yourself the cues
l. ton: DO you like to talk?" And
if YOU have to admit that you do then
bear in mind that certain pitfalls OF
bad manners lie in your path that do
not beset the person who has no such
fondness for the sound Of his own
voice.
Very often the person who likes to
talk is the person who actually
does talk cleverly. He likes to
talk because he c.. see that people
are interested by what he says and
their show of interest is gratifying TO
his vanity. It is very pleasant to see
a group of keenly interested faces
around you when you are letting your
tongue wag and when you tell a GrOll
story it is gratifying, indeed. to hear
the peals of hearty laughter. The
person who sees readily that his
listeners are bored can get no pleas
ure from talking. And usually, though
not always. people who talk too much
are persons who have naturally GIT
in that direction. But they are wise
if they do not abuse it.
The hostess especially should never
monopolize the conversation. She
should remember even if her women
guests are extre lely poor converse
tionalists, even if they are young and
shy and timid, that good breeding de
mands that she bring them out and
give them a chance to express their
view and tell their funny anecdotes
rather than that she should seize

MADAM CROW; MIR. FOX

MADAM CROW was on the limb
OF tree by the cornfeld try
ing to make out whether the raggedty-
looking figure in the field was real
man or scarecrow.
She was well hidden by the leaves
of the tree, and her bright eyes and
quick twisting head took in everything
Tor some distance around.
Now, it happened that Mr.. Fox had
been foolish enough to come that way
In broad daylight, and was running
along the top of the stone wall not
far from where Madam Grow was
perched in the tree
There was no reason for her to give
anyone warning that Mr.. Fox was
around, for there was no one in sight
but Madam Crow, who had rather a
bad disposition and a sharp tongue
SO when she saw Mr.. Fox she gave

the call which means to all who hear
it, Look out, Mr.. Fox is nearby"
Mr.. Fox heard it, for his sharp ears
hear things that his eyes often fail
to see. and he knew that his plan for
reaching the stray hen that he was
sure to find in the field beyond was
spoiled.
He knew that the farmer would
hear it and run for his gun or call to
Mr.. Dog, and they would be on the
lookout.
So he dropped TO the ground on
the side of the corntield and hid under
some bushes, but he kept his eyes
open to see where the call came from.

Seek to Rrihe Ghosts.

A firm belief in ghosts prevails
among the inhabitants of Central
Africa. If a native believes that he is
possessed of a ghost he goes to his
local medicine man and asks him 10
expel it. One method the medicine
man has of doing this is to prepare a
meal, hoping that the food will tempt
the ghost TO leave the body of the
man.
