Flirting about the dinner dance
floor with the more light-footed
diplomats sometimes requires that
on the same evening she may be
compelled to follow the terpsicho-
rean impulses of German, a Pole,
a Norwegian, an Englishman, and
an American.

Poland. To the bounding up and
down of a big German. To stately
Norwegian steps punctured unex-
pectedly by light springs with the

international evening strolling non
chalantly hand in hand with a
young man just out Of Prince

Most women who are a little
old, particularly married women
and even some who are young
wish to obtain a reputation for in"
tellect and an acquaintance with
science. You therefore pay them
a real compliment, and gratlty
their self-love, by converSing oc-
casionally upon grave matters,
which they do not understand, and
do not really relish. You may in
terrupt a discussion on the beauty
of a dahlia, by observing that as
you know they take an interest in
such things, you mention the dis
covery of a new method of ana
lying curves of double curvature.
Men who talk only of trifles will
