The Marathon Talker

The Marathon Talker
WOMAN may be the "talkative
w sex"-but, once he gets
STARTED, man holds the record
as q Marathon talker!
A woman may talk faster and
oftener and may crowd more
WORDS into a lifetime, than q
nan does. But, for long, distance
nonologue, man has her beaten,
every time! It takes two women
to talk as long at stretch' as
one perfectly normal man.
You can side-track a woman's
chatter, just by telling her that
her nose Is shiny or that you
smell something burning. But.
once a man starts out to tell a
story, or to prove" something,
or to advise you about some
thing, nothing can turn him from
his course, except an earthquake
or chlorofOrm.
You may shout to him that
he's on fire, and he will merely
brush away the sparks, pick up
the thread Of his theme. and go
right on TALKING. You may
spill hot coffee on his knees. or
drop Ice down his collar; but you
can't wreck his train of argu-
ment or make him skip word.
A woman talks, just to talk. "
She talks to be entertaining
and she talks because she's bored.
She talks because everybody else
is chattering-and she talks to re-
lieve the silence.
But, when a man starts talking,
It il because he thinks he has
something to SAY-and is deter
mined to say 1t! He has vital
message!
ST love to hear you talk!'
Tell me more about it,"
How interestingly You put it!'
Don't stop talkingt"
Any one of these exclamation
from a woman In tribute that
no man outside of a deaf-and-
dumb asylum can resist. IT will
brighten up the dullest evening
and make a man wonder where
YOU have been all his life?
Even a foolish woman knows
enough to laugh at a mans
Joke, but it's a diplomat or siren
who knows enough to hang onto
his coat-lapel and beg him to
"Tell it again.
why does woman ever. waste
40 much breath and energy In
talking, anyhow? No man ever
listens to what a woman has to

OF course they feel drawn to

citizen of this world has learned
to control quite q number of In

These facts are true, as thous-
