Small talk is easy, lady, if you'll follow a few rules. RULE ONE: Don't wait uni til you . have i & something to say before you Ruth Millett open your mouth, Just open it, and say anything that comes into your head. : RULE TWO: Don't get flustered if nobody seems to be listening to what you are saying. That is the one saving grace of small talk. Nobody has to pay any attention to it.
» 2 » RULE THREE: Use plenty of gestures, and, no matter how
the people who aré listening with only one ear into thinking you are a clever, gay conversationalist. RULE FOUR: Never wait for an opening before putting in your mickel’s worth. If you do, you'll never get to say anything. Grab the floor when you want it, and hang on until you've had your say. RULE FIVE: Don't worry about whether you are making a favorable impression, Everybody else will be too busy wondering the same thing about themselves to care about how you are doing. And that's all there is to the ability to make “small talk.” If you doubt it, listen carefully to the chatter next time you are at a big party.

‘Design Safety Into a Home,’ Expert Advises
GARDENING—
By MARGUERITE SMITH DO WE DARE transplant -our forsythia this spring? Will * the little peach tree we set too close to the house lagt year survive if we move it back farther in the yard now? Move them after the ground is ready and before they begiz to open their leaves, then they'll not mind. Choose your moving day when skies are cloudy, air damp, and they'll like it. “Transplanting failure often comes from drying out of roots. - 80 if you must ‘shove your plants around on a warm sunny day, cover the roots with a shovel of dirt or a burlap sack while they're waiting to get into the ground. Some plants, like people, take to moving with a lot less fuss than others. Forsythia will adapt to new surroundings easily even when it's in bloom. But magnolias! They're just too high-strung, ” . ”
HERE'S a professional trick for moving fussy shrubs. Circle the plant with a shallow trench at some distance from outer Ppranches. Then work.dirt gently off the edge of the circle until you encounter the first fine roots. At that point dig deep to take all the earth possible with the plant roots. If you've damaged the roots anyway, prune the top in the same proportion to maintain balance between intake and outgo of moisture. Moisture balance is important even when plants are taking their last late winter snooze.
How to Choose Linen Frocks
ONE OF THE most style-wise fabrics preening for gallery favor at winter resorts now and getting ready to gather more compliments this spring and summer is crease-resistant linen.
To know your stuff about linen is to know that the kind which is treated - for wrinkle-resistance may have a tendency to stretch more than the untreated ‘kind. So when buying wrinkle-re-sistant linens, be prepared to welcome skirt fulness which allows plenty of room for sitting. ® 8 = : IN ORDER ‘to prevent strain on fabric, a dress top, blouse or jacket should be amply cut at the armhole and across the bosom. In a crease-resistant linen dress, the waistband which
“Safety must be designed in and hazards ruled out during the planning stages if homes are to be free of accidents,” John ¥. Rithmiller, engineer for the Lumbermen’s Mutual Insurance Co., pointed out today.
He spoke at the second session of the Indianapolis School for Home Planners held this afternoon at the YWCA. The night meeting will begin at 7:30 o’clock. Steps prospective home owners should take in planning their “dream home” were outlined in addresses by Edward D. Pierre, Indiana Society of Architects, and Clarence T. Myers, Construction League of Indianapolis. Mr. Pierre said persons planning to build a home should have all their ideas ready before they consult an architect. “Back of every good plan for a home is a good architect,” he maintained. The use of permanent materials in the construction of a house was advised by Mr. Myers. “In the long run,” he said, “the better the materials used the lower will be the cost of living in a home.” , The classes are free and will

Men and Women—
Which Are Better Drivers?
By ERNEST E. BLAU R ILE THERE are thousands of very fine women drivers, and while the
average woman is prone to drive more slowly, to take fewer chances than a man and not to drive while intoxicated, worden do have some natural = driving handicaps that more than offset their good qualities as drivers. As a sex they are more excitable, more easily panicked, do not react as quickly and decisively in emergencies. The American Automobile Association, after testing 10,« 000 men and women, reported that women are not as good in judging distances, steering in tight spots, using brakes quickly. s s » THEY ALSO are more affected by sudden noise and glare, The man’s greater strength is an advantage, too,"in braking and steering, often crucial factors in avoiding accidents. For instance, an average
