Conversation
As a Fine
Art .
It it pleaunt to enttelf and de
lightful to others, or at any rate 1
imagine it muM be, for I hav nerer
experienced the sensation, to be a
brilliant conversationalist Dr. John
on, something of a conversationalist
Llmsclf, thought otherwise. There
it nothing," laid he on one occa
sion, "by which a man exasperates
most other people more than by dis
playing a superior brilliancy in con
versation. They seem pleased at the
time, but their envy makes them
cure him at their hearts. Hut here,
I suspect, the learned man was
"making conversation" himself, and
did not mean to be taken too liter
ally, for if he really believed what
he said he must have regarded him
self as more unpopular than any
normal man would wish to be.
But the great man also analyzed
conversation, and we smaller talkers
may see how he did it. "There must,
in the first place," said he, "be
knowledge, there must be materials;
in the second place, there must be
command of words; in the third
place, there must be imagination, to
place things in such views as they
are not commonly seen in; and in
the fourth place, there must be
presence of mind, and a resolution
that is not to be overcome by fail
ures. This last is essential."
liow often have I myself suf
fered from this lack of a "resolution
that is not to be overcome by fail
ures," and, having something to say
not much, but sufficient to show
' that I was at least among those pres
enthave failed and failed and
failed again to get my little saying
into the conversation, and so at last
faint-heartedly given it up and re
mained in silence! A more resolute
titter would have said his little say
whatever happened, though he said
it only to himself in a loud voice.
There are others, plenty of them,
in this same category of the un lo
quacious we are the listeners who
provide a dumb audience for those
whose thoughts and tongues move
more trippingly. Yet we are not in
capable of speech. Many of us can
keep up our end respectably in a
tet-a-tete, but our activity diminishes
in proportion to the number of the
company. We are accused some
, times of "not doing. our part" but
u the truth is that we really seem to
have no part which it is incumbent
upon us to do. From minute to min
ute, with no appreciable interrup
tion, all the conversation immediate
ly needed is being supplied by some
body else.
But I am as far as ever from tell
ing: myself or anybody else how to
be an agreeable . conversationalist

Maney and Dr. Raymond 1'. Carrvcl

Miss Maney is a graduate of Ben

has taught in Washington and
Douglas counties, her first teaching
being in the Maney schoot, which
was named for her grandfather and

Coming Into

Is the long skirt coming back into
feminine favor? That is the question
that is agitating New York women
now. A well-known actress, who re

that in her opinion the women who

for the one that comes to the ankle,
or perhaps slightly above the ankle.
This actress declares that well-dressed
women of Paris today are wear
ing long skirts and that the style
will have reached this country by
fall. .
Even now some of the more so
cially prominent women of- New
York are wearing longer skirts than
those that have been in vogue for
the past two or three years. For
example, Mrs. Vincent Astor, who
is generally recognized in the so
called fashionable world as the social

Stout Women
Need Dark
Colors
How often one sees the "stout"
woman earbed in a flaming: red. and
the remark inevitably follows, "Why
do stout people always put on such
bright colors? It makes them look
stouter."
Of course, alt stout women do pot
make it a point to don brilliant hues,
but all such women should make it
a point never to adorn themselves
in bright colors.
' Light and brilliant colon with
sheen apparently increase the ap
pearance of the site of the wearer,
while dark colors and large color
patterns make her seem smaller.
Children and small women can
wear bright colors better than any
one else.
Complexion should also be reck
oned with when one is selecting the
color of the wardrobe.
In analyzing the three types of
hair, blond", auburn and brunette, re
member that, as a rule, brunettes
require stronger colors than the
blondes. The Trench have an inter
esting trick of dressing up to their
eyes, be they blue, gray or brown.
However, the complexion also must
be taken into account when this
method is followed.
' A Distinction.
The aim of book-reviewing Is to
engage in discussion of our contem
poraries, and this is why book-re-
veiwing, wlucn is a department oi
lournalism. must be carefully dis
tinguished from criticism, which is
a department of literature. Urander

covered that I am a dull talker, in
deed, how am I to practice by my
self and achieve a lively and interest
ing manner of conversation. A few
precepts I may give myself: Don't
' dogmatize, don't talk too long at a
' time, don't lose your temper, etc., .for
these are certain obvious faults in the
disagreeable conversationalist that
any observant person may see, and
any sensible person, one might think,
would guard against. But lively and
interesting in conversation I can on
ly hope to make myself by being
lively and interested in things- in gen

provide myself with the qualities
enumerated by Dr. Johnson knowl

a limited degree, yet something can

something in trying to express my
knowledge with reasonable clearness,
, and something m summoning my
"will to my assistance and resolutely
determining not to be overcome by
failures, and to say my say whatever
happens. But about the imagination
I am not so certain; this "placing
things in such views as they are not
commonly seen in" doesn't seem so

With Plain and
. Figured Walls
' If you are planning any redecorat
. Ing of the walls of your rooms just
remember this: that you can gain
very interesting effects if you take in
' to account the decorative value of
plain and figured walls in two ad
jacent rooms.
For instance: Suppose you have
opening from your large living room
a little music room. On ihe living
. room walls, in spite of the fact that
the room is large, you may choose
a plain surface, say in gray. In the
little room, ' which will stand a
figured wall, as it is adjacent to the
big room and as anyway you don't
necessarily wish to increase its ap
' parent size, you can use a small
figure, combining the ground color
of the living room with perhaps
mauve and sage green.
. Or. for another example, the din
Svttr Mwtm nnrm mm the Kvinor rflom.
The living room is papered in tan
- grass cloth. The fining room will
" present a charming and harmonious
contrast if a tapestry paper is used
around the too of the walls.
- Then there is the big hall with two
or three rooms opening from it
' That gives one another chance to
' combine plain ana figured walls in
adjacent rooms to good advantage.
; Just keep the idea in mind. - It is a
good one for decoration.
Preventing Colors From
Fading.
Before washing a new colored
dress or garment, or white garments
with colored embroidery or trim
mings, put it to soak for a couple
ef hours in cold water, in which is
'dissolved a little vinegar and some
alt. About a spoonful of each in
a gallon of water. This will settle the
colors, but will not injure in any
way either the clean or soiled gar-
mfnt. Tt is ilvav, w,c A Am

Hsv yon ever exclaimed as yon beheld
your complexion In the mirror, "If I only
could tear off this old .kin I" And, do you
know yon can do that very thins? Not to
actually remove the entire akin 'all of a

and painful, too. The wornout cuticle
cornea off in auch tiny particles and so
gradually It doesn't hurt a bit. Little by
little the beautiful complexion underneath
comes forth. Marvelous I No matter how
muddy, rough, blotchy or freckled your
complexion, you can surely discard It by
this simple process. Just ret an ounce of
ordinary mercolited wax at your druggist's,
apply nightly like cold cream, washing it
off mornings. The result will surprise and
delight you. ' .-'
Wrinkles can be gotten rid of by an
equally simple method. By dissolving an
ounce of pure powdered saxolite in a half
pint of witch hazel and bathing your face
in tne solution, every line will completely
disappear. First the finer lines, finally
even tne deep crows feet.
