THE WOMAN WHO TALKED WELL

There was once a Woman who had Remarkable Conversational Power*. Her Friends admired her Very Much. Once they Planned a Dinner Party in her Honor. To this Party they Invited a Man who was what is known as The Life of the Occasion. He was One of Those People who Set tha Table in a Boar. The Hostess had Planned for him to Take Out tha Woman of the Conversational Powers. To her Surprise, he Refused. Politely but Forcibly, to do this. “Why, I Thought you would Enjoy each other So Much!” said tha ? Hostess. “She is such a Fascinating Talker—so Brilliant! You, of All People, would Appreciate Her.” “On the Contrary,” said the Man who could Set the Table in a Roar. “Far From IL That Woman Irritates me Beyond Endurance, Every

Time I Open my Mouth, she knows What I am Going to Say beforehand, and More than That, she Talks All the Time herself. I am Sorry to Disoblige you, but you must Give me Somebody Else.” , y “Here is a List of the Ladies,” said the Hostess. “Take your Choice.” “I will take This One,” said he, “for she Stutters.” , # 1 Thia teanhes us that Birds of, a Feather occasionally Prefer to Flock!
