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.

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.
