"And that's true, too." answered the un

"Then it's your opinion that any woman
who doesn't marry a millionaire makes a
serious mistake?" he summarised dryly
"It's too bad that you attained such i
philosophic state of mind after having
been the wife of a hard working com
mutir for five long years."
"Now don't be a goose," exclaimed the
Hopeful Housewife in a delightful man
ner. "I waa going to add that If just nor

"Oh. I see you think real lova exist In
a sort of temperate tone of emotion.
Maybe you're right. I was thinking the

Here his wife cut short the threatened
lecture on astronomy with a merry laugh.
"I happen to have read that article about
the planets, too."
She smiled happily at the Confirmed
Commuter. ,
"You. see. dear." she said. "If I'd mar

about anything but the planet along

"My Dear Mis Loretta: I wish to know
your opinion of th girl who. when pokn
to, look everywhere except In the speak
er's eyes. Is she necessarily untrue or do
you think it Is a mer habit that can oe
cured? 1 usually look dtrectty Into th
speaker eye; and I would Ilk to know
if I should try to do otherwise, or if you
think J a pretty attitude In listening. Will
you tU me what you think on thl sub
Ject? Thanking you, for any answer you
may give, I am, yours sincerely. "A
Listener."
What would you think of a baseball
catcher who looked toward the right fielder
when the pitcher launched a ball? I know
what you would say under your breath If
you were an enthusiast about th national
game, and the cracked-brained catcher
abused his privileges In any such fashion.
Tou would think he merited Incarceration
In th nearest home for the feeble minded
or you would be certain that h was a
double dealer and wa giving th gam to
the opposing nine.
That I exactly what I feel and think
when I see a girl with a fussy glance
sliding and flopping promiscuously over th
furniture and th ceiling when some one
is launching the thought, the conversational
ball, which he wants her to catch. It is
not. In my mind, a question of "pret
tiness." It' Just a sign of the possession
of the required faculitle for association
with sane people. Th girl who looks
everywhere but at th speaker la Just as
inexcusably stupid as the one would be
who stabbed hit-and-mlssly about over the
table to secure her food Instead of look
ing at th plate wher It wa loostrd.
I know a brown-eyed beatuy, photocra-pher-spolled,
who always listens to a con
versation with her glorious orbs cocked in
contemplation of the celling. And she
doesn't make me half as tired as sh doe
th men who try to talk to ber. And, let
m tell you, a fatigue Ilk that inspired
by a continuous diversion of glance to a
point absolutely outside of the circle of
interest is something that no man wants to
experience twice, - Thl girl ha been told
that her eye are lovely raised heavenward.
8o she keeps them there. And, gradually,
the men have slipped away without her
seeming to notice till sh enjoy an unin
terrupted opportunity to pom undisturbed.
These shifty glances, that never meet
your eye atraight and frank, are often
called th sign of a deceptive nature. I
think they deserve more comment as a
certain evidence of th inability of the
looker to concentrate on anything. I never
knew a shifty see-er who had enough
direction of energy, either physical or men
tal, to stick to anything. I would not
marry a girl who could not look at me
when I talked to her, If I were a man, any
mor than I woud unit myself to a Jelly,
fish. If a man asked me to marry him,
and th directness of hi question wa not
accompanied by an equal directness of re
gard, I should politely Inform hlra that
I had no aspirations to be th "apple of
his eye" a well a th "heart of hi
heart" and the "queen of hi home." I
should inform him that no apple ever grown
could keep its equilibrium and retain it
position when ' shifted and wriggled about
in an eye like hi.
I think you are Just right In looking at
the person who take th time and trouble
and Interest to talk to you. I am certain
that you find a good many' who enjoy
talking to you, do you not?
And it' a courtesy which every speaker
appreciate. Of course, you can HEAIt
without looking. But most peopl Ilk to
b shown. And the eyes do that. Besides,
they are th ' window through which 1
revealed th Inward mind-light. It's com
forting to a conversationalist to know that
he is addressing a sentient being. Instead
of a scatter-pat.
