Conversation
Behind the
Eight-BoII
By Cynthio Lowry

Associated Press Newsfeatures Writer.
In case you're one of those
shy. socially maladroit ones like
me who goes through agonies
about what to say after the
hostess had made introductions
and gone her merry way. I'd like
to warn you about a current
magazine article called "How to
Start a Conversation"
use the word warn" adj
visedly. because the piece sug-
gested four possible conversa-
tion-starting gambitS. and then
gave specific examples of each.
And I have tried them.
The article, warming up, ex-
planned that conversation, once
started. rolls along pretty well
under its own steam. And you
should be able to launch a topic
to roll. Then it gets specific.
/. Make a provocative state
ment, says the articles. because
it will force questions. The
example it gave was: There is
a hurricane heading this way"
2. Ask a leading question. It
will force an answer. Example:
did you see the parade today?"
3. Express an opinion. 1t viii
call for assent or dissent.
Example: People who watch
television are dull"
4. Ask for advice on a specific
problem. No one can resist.
Example: Can you suggest q
color for my room?"
In addition to being shy and
socially maladroit, I am a neat.
methodical person, and so
worked my way through all four
gambits, following directions inn
plicitly.
The first gambit was played at
a cocktail party tossed in a big,
largely glass office building.
I arrived fairly late, and the
party was humming COM
fortably. Failing to see any ore
I knew. I waited until had been
supplied with requisite refresh-
ment. and then approached q
group of important-looking peo-
pie.
did you know" I inquired
Sweetly. that a hurricane Is
heading this way?"
Well, the results, while not pro-
ductive of many questions. were
positively amazing. In five min
utes was absolutely alone, not
only in the room, but in the
building. When I got out on the
street, I glimpsed one guest, glass
still in hand, diving into a sub
way entrance.
After that I bided my time
and then found myself at a busi-
ness luncheon, seated between
and in front of people l had
never met. They all semed to
know each other we'll and l felt
sort of out of things until
asked my leading question, Did
you see the parade today?"
why, no." said the gentleman
on my right, what parade?"
That really had me stumped
for moment. "Oh. any parade"
I returned. And from that NOM
ent ! was the center of all at
tention, and when / left the
luncheon, ! had a list of is
names, all psychiatrists, which
my new friends had positively
insisted write down, complete
with telephone numbers
Next time I expressed an
opinion: Il think people who
watch television are dull" said.
sitting back waiting. Everybody
agreed enthusiastically and brief
ly. and went right back 10 watch
ing an old movie on a 21-inch
screen.
haven't worked out Can YOU
suggest color for my room?"
yet, because nobody has invited
me to any parties. And, if any,
body does, I promise to stick to
my pre-article conversation roll
er: WHO is, that woman over
there in the weird hat?" IT'S
never failed to get a conversation
started about either women or
hats.

Defrost ReouIurIv

You do food a disservice if you
don't defrost your refrigerator
regularly. When frost on the re-
frigerator unit is more than one
quarter inch thick, it keeps the
cold from circulating throughout
the food compartment.

COMPARISON

A Boston newspaper column
ist once suggested carrier pi-
geons instead Of the telephone
for long distance message ear
ing. All in fun, of course.
All in fun, too, a telephone
man took up the challenge with
cost comparison of Carrier
Pigeon VS.. Long Distance. He
showed, for example, that a
pigeon-carried message from
Boston. to New York would cost
15c more than one borne by
telephone at the weekday per-
son to-person rate.
If our cost comparer had
used the lower station to-sta-
ton rate or the still lower
highland Sunday rates, the
carrier pigeon would have been
outpriced by a wider margin.
II he had mentioned the tele-
phones unmatched speed and
its unique advantage OF two
wayness' the poor pigeon
would have been-well, simply
out-clasSed.
Seriously, for speed and sa-
tisfaction Of city-to-city mes
sage bearing combined with
low cost, what is there to COM
pare with Long Distance?
