GEORGE BERNARD SHAW was recent
/ ly lecturing in Dublin, and, as is his pract-
tise, he began with the most uncompfimen-
tary thing he could think Of This time it
was bitter TRADE on the state of the child
ren's teeth, which, he had noticed while
walking through the poorer quarters of
the city.
IF you would devote the money to dentis-
try which you waste on reviving Irish, a
dead language, it would do you more
credit"
At this the audience began to hiss and
boo most vigorously Shaw waited for a.
momentary lull in the storm and then went
on.
IF you don't keep quiet, I'll continue this
lecture in Irish, and then not one of you will
understand word of it."
There was attentive silence from that
moment ~

IN charge of the finances was calling for
contributions, and for time they came in
freely. At last there was halt and the
desired goal had not been reached After
a somewhat embarrassing wait, a well
dressed, pleasant looking gentleman, who
already had given freely, rose and stated
that ne and his family would be good for

were raised. The proposition took, and the
subscriptions came in readily until the peak
was passed. The managing preacher was
delighted and thus expressed himself:
| I'VE greatly appreciate the generous
help OF this gentleman and | am sure that
God will bless him. And I wish and pre-
dict for him a great increase in his bust

The speaker noticed that everyone smiled
broadly, and he could not understand why.
Turning to the pastor, he whispered

ming gowns are on the contrary usually light colored silk or satin, with the rich French blue or hy- drangia favorite and becoming colors.
 Mrs. Coolidge, according to her friends, means to continue the sim plicity which has marked her dress ing ever since coming to Washington, but the beautiful blue velvet wrap which shewore on her first appear ance at the play just a week ago does not bear out the story of an all American made-ready- to wear wardrobe, bought in Washington. The wrap was very long, lined in pale toned brocade with deep collar of un- spotted ermine.
 Smart Gowns at Letters.
 Among the smartest gowns worn at Mrs. Joseph Letters afternoon re- ception for several of the seasons buds was Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry's black velvet right from Paris with the new skirt just above the ankles, showing two deep bands of fox, one on the hem, the other just below the hips The top was very high in the neck and long sleeves. This was topped by a small black hat, also obviously made in France.
 Mrs. Kenna Elkins was another handsome young matron wearing all d model in which plain and moire satin or heavy luster silk in new weave were combined. The plain material was employed from throat to well below the hips, with the moire finish ling out the straight skirt. Mrs. Elkins' small hat was black satin high and narroY in the crown with very scant brim. A lace veil fell from each side of this in becoming fashion.

HOW TO MEET PEOPLE

Recently, an intelligent young woman, a capable stenographer and typist, came to me with a said story She had been with her concern five years. and while her salary had been increased occasionally, her employer had just hired. from outside, pri- vate secretary. It was a position that this young woman declared bit terly that she could easily have handled. She knew her employers habits, likes and dislikes, she was a good stenographer she had intelli gence enough to handle the work ef- ficiently. But she did not get this coveted position, as asked my opinion as to the possible reason.
 Regretfully, 1 told her. As capable a worker as she was, this young woman lacked one of the prime qualifications of any successful pri- vate secretary; she did not know the secret of meeting people. She did not have the poise the confident manner, the assured bearing that an employer demanded from a secretary who was to stand between him and the outside world.
 You may be an excellent worker, but there Is something else besides that-a something" known as pres- ence Or personality-that you need in secretaryship and in almost any line of business that deals in contacts with others.
 A good secretary has poise; she can greet callers pleasantly; she knows and remembers their names and calls them by name. She adequately rep resents her employer not in doubt ful, hesitant, Ill-find-out way but in a calm, assured manner. If there Is some one her employer cannot see she is able to send him away without offending him, politely and in a good humor. She is able to act as the buffer between her employer and the outside world, to keep her temper in the face of irritating interruptions and to make others feel just a little better for having talked with her.
 To meet people successfully you must have initiative. You must be able to think quickly and to use your own judgment in making decisions without running to ask someone else for help.
 Your appearance counts for a great deal. You must be well dressed; your health must be good.
 Perhaps you do not realize how much these things mean In meeting people successfully. If you doubt them, just size up the next person to whom you are introduced and watch how he or she acknowledges the in- troduction. Is it with boise and con- f1dent bearing-or otherwise? Then think over your own effect on others.

too much! Never speak to me as long as you live! I don't blame Mrs. Ran gle She isn't 0 bad sort. Maybe she acted only as she did to lead you on, but I do blame you, and maybe you only did it because you were jealous because I was talking to MT, Bingle!"
 What, me? Jealous of that man? Jealous of your" cried Mr. Jarr. "Oh, come, that's a joke"'
 But Mrs. Jarr didn't see the joke. She rushed into the house and threw herself on the sofa with a burst of heart-breal1ing sobs.
 And she never sat up again or for gave him until. a great light break ing in upon Mir. Jarr, he accused her of being an incurable flirt and made her promise never to break his heart by her coquetries again.
