GARDENING MOVE MAKES PROGRESS Association Claims Big Results From Outdoor Project. Officials of the Patriotic Gardeners’ association said today that sn inspection of the garden plots made this year by the association shows an increased Interest in the movement. All the plots at the abandoned county ■workhouse grounds are in tine conidtlon, they said, and similar conditions exist in the other large plots that arc being gardened under the direction of the asso- , ciation. There is a dcrease in the number of plots being cultivated this year, as compared with last year, but this Is due to the fact that many real estate companies are allowing vacant lots to be used as gardens not under the auspices of the association. Thousands of plants have been distribrthls summer by the association and >st a thousand people this summer re greatly reducing the high cost of ving by raising their own vegetables. Officials of the association say the gardening movement has not only been a success In a financial way, but that it also has had a great psychological effect, causing many persons who would otherwise probably have “loafed” during spare hours to .become interested in work that is really Recreational and intensely interesting.

The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL 8. DCFFEE Frankly ask yourself the question: “Do you like to talk?” And if you have to admit that you do, then bear in mind that certain pitfalls of bad manners lie ! in your path that do not beset the per- I son who has no such fondness for the ! sonnd of his own voice. Very often the person who likes to j talk is the persons who actually does talk cleverly. He likes to talk because he can see that people are interested by what he says and their show of interest is gratifying to his vanity. It is very pleasant to see a group of keenly Interested faces around you when you are letting your tongue wag and when yon tell a droll story it is gratifying indeed to hear the peels of hearty laughter. The person who sees readily that his listeners are bored can get no pleasure from talking. And usually, though not always, people who talk too much are persons who have a natural gift in that direction. But they are wise if they do j not abuse it. The hostess especially should never i monopolize the conversation. She should remember even if her women guests are extremely poor conversationalists, even if they are young and shy and timid, that good breeding demands that she bring them out and give them a chance to express their view and tell their funny anecdotes rather than that she should seize every opportunity to i show her own wit and fluency. Don’t make the mistake of thinking so intently about what you are going

to say when you can get a loophole in the conversation that you do not know what the others are talking about. Do not expect to gain their attention If you do not give them your attention when they are talking.—Copyright, 1920.
