CONVERSATION

Grenville Kleiser, well-known au-
thor and writer gives some GOOD adj
vice about talking.
An immense amount of time and
energy is constantly being wasted bv
useless talking, he says.
Some of the essentials that he
mentions for good conversationalist
are as follows:
The first condition of good talking
is clear, well-ordered t6inkin~ IF
your thoughts are in confusion vour
speech is liable to be non-effective.
Talking should not be a verbal or
vocal contest, but mutual exchange
of ideas. MOnolougues are tiresome.
Don't give advice. Advice costs
nothing and is usually worth what it
costs.
Don't exaggerate. 1t is easv to let
your desires and feelings overcolor
your views. Give the impression of
understatement rather than over
statement and what you say will have
mere effect.
Keep your voice low. A low voice

good for anybody. Many people are

KEEP SMILIN'

"Smile awhile and give your face a
rest" This advice is well worth fol
lowing. Don't let your gloom get the
best of you. Smile, let the world think
you're happy. A bright exterior al
ways "raises your stock" with other
people. The moody-faced pessimlst
makes few friends, and often lose
those he has. A smile is a persons
best introduction and frown his
worst drawback A sour face will get
you nowhere, except into trouble,
while a smile will keep you out Of
trouble. Look at the bright side of
life. Your smile can outshine even the
brightness Of the sun.
If you ever feel gloomy, just sing:
| know how homely | are,
/ know that my face is no star;
But still | don't mind it
Because I'm behind it
It's the fellow in front gets the jar.

Since leaving Manons boudoir he
had wandered about the great house
trying to settle upon some way to
handle the pressing need for money.
His father had disowned him. Tt
berge was still friendly and compass
sionate, but his means were limited
and even if he gave up all he had it
would not be sufficient to meet their
extravagant mode of living. 1t did not
occur to Fabien to live simply, be-
cause Manons nature demanded lux
uries and amusement and he felt that
he should be man enough to provide
them for her. Also he loved her in the
gay happy moods that we're hers in
the midst of their present surround
iings and some way, some how, he was
determined to provide all that her
pleasure loving nature craved.
Fabien had not settled on any defin-
lite financial plan when he recalled
Manon's request to "come back very
soon." He returned to her boudoir and
CHANGED to arrive at the open door
Just as she was showing her necklace.
Fabien remained outside, a look of
comic dismay on his worried face.
A few days before Manon had de-
scribed the jewel to him with such en-
thusiasm that he could not resist sur
lrising her with it as a gift. No one
knew better than he how i'll he could
afford the indulgence. But when he
made in its reflected glory, he did not
saw what beautiful picture she
regret the extravaganza. The incident
only drove home the fact that he must
raise money-a quantity of money
before many more days passed into
eternity and carried him along in a
hopeless maze of bills and insistent
bailiffs.
Fabien did not join in the admiring
throng gathered about Manon. He was
about to enter when a servant quiet
ly approached and said: Monsieur,
there are two-gentlemen-in the
drawing room who insist upon seeing
Monsieur.
Fabien tried to put Manon out of
his thoughts as he went downstairs
to confront the two-gentlemen. He
knew only too well who they were and
what they wanted. Their presence in
his home was not welcome and he
dreaded the consequences Of the en-
forced interview.

SENIORS PAY UP!

Do you know why the Seniors have
been so busy lately? Yes, they have
had an interesting time of it, for they
have been paying for their dues, di-
plomas and caps and gowns. Some of
the boys object to the last item as un-
necessary. Some even go so far as to
say it is feminine to wear gown and
old-fashioned to put on a three-cor-
nered cap. However, you can tell the
boys from the girls in spite of all this
pessimism, because the girls will have
ace collars. Walter Timonen threatens
to let his hair grow so that his parents
will be able to tell him apart from the
girls.

Lescaut shrugged and continued shut

selves farm in the country and

that" He laughed tauntingly.
IF l am not able to supply Manon

to lose her."
"You could make money at the card
.tables-if you would" the gambler
temptingly stated fact.
Cheating at cards is out of the
question-for a gentleman, and I was
born that. My ancestors were honor

Fabien was proud.

This was more philosophical than
anything Lescaut had said before. Fa-

They came. A troupe of morning

while the hairdressers prepared Man
ON for the festivities of the day.
The Able Martineau was a quaint
! little figure. Manon's beauty had in
spired him to write verse and the first
thing he did was to perch himself on
the arm of big chair, at one end of
her dressing table, and indulge in the
pleasure of reading aloud while her
jcoiffure was being arranged before
|; his very eyes. 1t was just intimate
enough to please him immeasurably.
Pauses in his readings were due not
so much to emotion as to intervals
in which he slipped wine and times
when others intruded for moment of
Manon's time.
Manon was charming and attentive,
with the result that the little man
came every day and remained long
enough to read a new couplet and i'm

The Abbe's presence, on this par
ticular morning, annoyed Mana excess
sively. She did not have any perfume
that compared with Manon's and the
special bottle she wanted was on the
corner of the dressing table where
the Able interfered with her getting
it. In the meantime she glowered at
the little man and consoled herself by
the contents of every other
bottle she could get her hands on.

CHAPTER XVI

When Fabien entered the drawing
room he felt two pairs of piercing
eyes conferred upon him.
The humiliation and annoyance that
had been his before entering the door
changed to an air Of amused nonchal-
ance The situation did have an ANUS
ing side. Why not play up to it and
ignore the danger involved? At least
it would be new and refreshing way
to receive the callers.
Good afternoon, gentlemen" Fa-
ben bowed politely as though they
were distinguished guests. 81 had not
expected to have the pleasure of re-
ceiving you again so soon!"
The two men plainly showed their
surprise at this unexpected greeting
and as a result the things they had in
tended saying came out in unintelli-
gible sputters. One of them began
searching his pockets for a paper that
it was his duty to serve. Fabien saw
the gesture and with an amused
twinkle and deliberate misconstruc-
ton said:
Wont you try some of mine ?" Of
fering his snuff box. perhaps you
left yours at home"
"We didn't come here to take snuff
with you-and you know i'll" shouted
the angry bailiff, at last finding his
tongue.
No? But it is pleasant even if one
does not plan ahead to indulge"
Spurred on by the bailiff's surprise
and anger, Fabien was having de-
hghtful time. Returning the snuff
box to his pocket with apparent re-
greet, he continued, perhaps a sip of
wine would be more to your liking?"
Without waiting for a reply he filled
three glasses from ever on the table
Help yourselves, gentlemen-to your
very good health-and future sue
cess" Fabien raised his glass and
waited, but not for more than sec
ond. The mems red faces indicated
too plainly that they never refused
a drink.
After the rich red wine had passed
their Threats it seemed to wash away
the anger and the hateful words that
had been struggling for utterance
Monsieur, we are sorry that it is
our unpleasant duty to be insistent,
but your creditors are very pressing
and we must have money today"
At last it was out, mellowed per-
haps by wine, although no less true
and foreboding in the horrible conse-
quences if the demands were not met
81 have told the creditors that I
will pay them next week." Fabien sue
ceeded in making his voice stern and
