DO YOU LIKE TO TALK?

ERANKLY ask Yourself the Ques-
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. 1t is very pleasant to see
group of keenly interested faces
around you when you are letting your
tongue wag and when you tell droll
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
not always, people who talk too much
are persons who have naturally gift
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

IF THE line of the head, the lower

wealth gained in business is also shown
by a strong. well-marked line of for

but which, when present, runs up the
palm to or into the finger of Apollo, or

Other good signs Of money gained in
business are little lines going from the
line of life to the line of the head, and
also little lines leaving the line of life

Olympus-and more than often the
ruler of Zeus as well-but her
splendid physical proportions have set
her aside as an Idea,. of feminine
womanhood. Her modern namesakes
have standard of beauty almost un-
attainable.
However appealing the classical
legend may be. the simpler explana-
ton for the bestowal of the name to-
day points TO the sixth month of the
Year. June is generally given to girls
born in the month of roses" though
its adaptability to romance has given
it tremendous vogue among the
fanciful names.
June is, of course, purely English.
1t has no derivatives or contractions
and no TRANSACTIONS into other
languages which may be said to pre-
serve its identity. Junius, meaning "of
Juno" is the only masculine form.
The agate is June's talismanic stone.
1t is said to give its wearer courage

her hearts desires. Monday lis her

She was we'll hidden by the leaves

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 Crow 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

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 cornfield and hid under

museum is the "antenna man." BY
touching his little finger to the aerial
binding post of his radiophone, James

concerts broadcast from station K. z.

when 1S5-foot aerial Is used. When

while he is acting as the antenna of

While performing this phenomenal
stunt, there is no connection between

static is almost entirely eliminated.

THE lovely name of June is as sug-

the month which 1t honors. Of course,
there are two explanations of the
existence of June and its fortunate
possessor may take her choice.
For those who prefer to establish a
direct classical connection. June may
be said TO be bestowed in honor of the
goddess Juno, wife of the mighty
Zeus, father of the gods. Not only
was Juno the feminine ruler of the
