Who Win Out
The Manicurist Fights Her
Battles and Makes an
Admirer
By JANE M'LEAN.
, There ire girls and Rir! nd etch
girl ha different mission in the
'world. Maiie never knew just whet
her mission w intended to be. but
'he learned manicuring and knew
how to do it very well,
Mai?ie wa just the type of girl
that most hoteli would be sure to
'engage. She wa pretty, with oft
.pink cheeks and small plump hand.
'She had wide blue eye, and blond
hair. In fact the was rather engag
ing, Business men liked to have her
trim their finger into fashionable
f orrectnent.
They liked the innocence in
Maine' wide blue eye, and the shy
look nt questioning sweetness that
she turned upon them while she
worked. Hut Maisie was not at all
the type of girl that her look made
her out to be. There wa a bitter
nes brhind the softness in her eyes,
and her sweetness and youth had not
prevented her from learning that a
girl it often misjudged by htr look.
One day a rather pompom look
ing man came to Maisie's table. He
had looked carefully around at. firt
and had obierved all of Maitie'i
tharmt, the softness of her white
throat above the collar, the dimpled
turn of her wnit. Oh, yea, Maisie
might make a very amusing quarter
of an hour for him, and o he sat
down,
Maisie came over to liitn brinkly
and deftly prepared the soapy
water for hi liiigeri, She remarked
pleaiantly on the weather, but she
did not raise her eye nor did she
speak in a gushy conversational man
ner. After a few minute the man
leaned forward and smiling ingratiat
ingly remarked:
"It' rather rloe to luncheon time,
5uppoe we have a little lunch to
gether somewhere. I know a nice lit
tle place not far from here."
And then Maisie did look up. She
looked the man square in the eye
and aid evenly;
"You're married, aren't you?"
The'niile in the man' eye ijuirkly
faded to blank astonishment, Thi
direct question in a hard voice from
thi little bundle of o(tne and
femininity who looked a if she did
not know what it meant to peak
harshly,
"I can ore that you are," iihe laid
finally. "Well, if you are, why did
you k me thai question about
fundi?"
The man tutfered hi amazement.
"I beg your pardon," he said, "you
looked aut h a nice jolly little person."
"Thank you, but please remember
that thi is, bu&inesi and not a re
location period. 1 don't do thi thing
for fun. I do it because I must work
at something, If you men realized
how much easier you would make it
for ui if you would help u just a
little, perhaps you might think juit
once in a while. That all. I'm done
now, but I wanted you to know," And
Mauie bent over the hand she wa
holding and deftly polished nail to
brilliancy.
The man lingered a moment after
he rose to go. Maisie did not ee
him nor the generou tip he had left
on the table, hhe wa busy putting
her implement in order.
"I'll remember what you said," the
man interrupted and she looked up st
him questioningly. "And I'm orry,
really sorry, 1 hope you will believe
that,' Maiiie smiled a little wearily
as he turned away. She hoped he
would, for life to her wa work, not
lest. To win out, one must play the
game squarely.

The Gift of
Conversation
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
You can no more be a good tsJkir
without giving though to the matter than
you can t a violin eololst without pree
tr and effort. Convention doe not
corns by tha grace of Ood, even though
you have m, splendid menial equipment.
Robert Louis Stevenson said that tha
"flrat duty of man 1 to speak; that Is
his chief turnings in tha world, and talk
whtr-h la th harmonious speech of two
or mors Is by far the moat accessible of
pleasures."
How many of us miss tha alnexpenalv
dellijhte ft conversation! How many of
u talk w1l enough to make ft worth
while to say anything! There ars no
hard and feat rules whlh will enable
one to hwome a good tonversatlonallat
In a abort course of leaeone, tut there ar
a few "signposts" to suecses.
flmiember that there ars always two
In any conversaMon. What to talk about
cannot h determined solely by your In
terest, but his to take Into consideration
tha point of vlw of ths other people. To
be a good conversationalist you must
first free yourself from ths evil effect
of self-eentredness. Focus your atten
tion on ths people with whom you ar
talking.
After that you must learn a little about
human Mature. You must b ahia to
figure out tha type of man who will b
Interested In discussions of art and lit
erature as well as the aort of Individual
to whom that seem "highbrow" and ex
tremely boresotne.
Then you must have, something to talk
about. The newspapers snd th weekllea
will kvep you ponied as to tha topics of
the day. Kane, well-wrltfen editorials
will rftrei't you toward Investigation along
varld tialna of thought. Follow It up
Kuppos an editorial mention Debussy
or Maeterlinck,, or f-eonardo da Vlnl
and you don't know much about tha In
dividual referrrd to, Why not go to an
ancyi-lnpedla and find out?
Every new fir Id of Interest you open
up to yourself guard you against, un
happlnea and boredom, snd give you
the shinty to contribute to a converse
lion. Business, the fin arts, social problums,
current eventiwhat do you know about
any of theae? Prima, your own particular
o'vupaflon, rndl, your special form
of amusement none of theae equip you
to ha an Intereatlng talker,
Get outside of yourself, widen your
elri'le of Intereste and etudy ao that you
may hive material for conversation, And
fhn In nrAme in hanrfl. mnA urii it In
i, read the standard novI and th
good old Kngllsh drsms,,so that you
may be able to express your aelf In
charming, flexible Fngllsh,
And then practlr talking, not by try
ing to dominate a conversation, but by
trying to find eome way of Intereatlng
other people so that they respond and
talk well, too.

Hqiv We
Impose on
Our Feet
By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D.
On trouble -with our feet is that we
"flump" too much, and walk far too
heavily on our heela, with our toea turnel
out To hear eoroe peopl walk you
would think they had brlckbata sus
pended from their anklea with string, tn
atead of feet, or were dropping a fiat
Iron on the pavement every thirty Indies.
When we are doing that strenuous acro
batic balancing; stunt known as land
ing artllU having only two feet, our firm
est and steadiest stand can be got either
by set tins; our feet well spart like a
wrestler, or, falling this, turning on;
toes out aa widely as possible. As sprad
dling wide loka undignified, we hold un
our head, turn out our to-, throw our
shouldeTa ba-k, and ere very proud of
our dignified and spirited pose. But we
should never forget that this heaxl-ere't.
chest-out like a pouter pigeon, sttltude,
though harmleea in moderation, la only
a poee, and should not be kept up for
more than a few rnlnutea ei a time. The
worst of It la, we are ao pleaaed with
our appearance that . we try ta put this
pose on whei and galvanlra oureelvp
Into a walk In this soldierly, rsmrod-llke
sttltude, and then we begin to gt Into
trouble at ow-a.
For the purpose of a brief parade down
Main street, this heads-tip. shoulders
bak, toes-out gait If a great mental ex
hilaration and barmleee In moderation,
but w 4o not breathe any better, al
though we seem to expand our lungs
more, end our circulation, aa French and
Kngllsh army surgeona discovered yer
ago, i nin'i"r!tt jiisiroii m unit un
proved, and we ptmlah our feet fearfully
F)cauae every step means "sodglng" our
whole weight upon the heel, with the
aroh of the foot turned out and then
rocking over and pitching off from the
broad side of the foot again, atralnlnu
every tendon end ligament in It, Bsl
mente on the march are now Instructed
to atrut erect through the towne, but es
soon e they strike the open country to
bend their knee, turn In their toe, Jes i
head snd shoulders forward, swing- the
arms looely at th aide with elbow
turned out, and literally "wade" over the
dusty road.
We seem unable to get away from th
notion that the thlnga which are hardest
to do are the onea that are beat for o.
Hence, we Insist ourselves snd we train
our children to alwaya turn out the toe
and hold back the shoulder when walk
ing, and above all, that to turn toea In
under any circumetancea la one of the
seven deadly sins. As a matter of fact
more than half our walking should lie
done with the toea turnedi In.
We should follow the example of the
oldler, and when we are walking down
(he principal streets snd more or less In
th publle eye, In our lmsglnstlon at
least, "out to give the girls (or boysl a
treat," aa the aaylng ia, assume a delib
erate, parade-like gelt, with toea out aii'l
hetd up. But even this poee ought to be
relaxed frequently, es by geilng In et
shop wlndowa, or bowing or leaning for
ward to speak to our friends. The gU.
would be not only difficult but danger
ous anywhere except, upon good side
walks or smooth, level surfsce.
When you turn into a (Ida street .ir
reach the open part of town and start to
hurry a bit you will find that it 1 prac
tically tmpoaslble to make any spee'l
with your toe turned out, ave at rlsn
of breaking your feet or falling over )
them.
Tou must hoot the foot almost trtg1it
forward and turn the toe In at the end
of your stride aa soon ss you begin t"
make speed.
This is perfectly rlgbt snd proper nd
should not be fought against in any way,
because our feet when we sre walklnat
st any reasonable speed do not moie
straight forward and tn straight parallel
lines, but In a series of hnw-shape I
curves, er long, graceful "waddles," some
thing like the gtrokee In skating, only
the curves turn In at the end Instead of
outward.
It 1s not correct to say that soma pei
pie turn out their toes when they walk
and othera turn them in. We all di
both, except those of ua who ar ao un
fortunate a to be permanently pigeon
toed, according to the rate at which we
are going.
Out, when w are walking slowly and
formally; In, when we are "hiking" or
running Indeed, excpt n vsry ltur!
wlklng, we toe out at the beginning 'f
r-h stride and In the end of it.
Th main practical point la, take enoueh
of this head-up and ahoulderi-back walk ing
to give you en erect flciire end grace
ful carriage, say a mile or two a dav
But don't try to carry It beyond that anl
rit-n't fight against the forward-I-sanlti
arm snd leg swinging, "skating" strt
that comes natural when you want to
really set somewher and cover th
ground
