Care For the Talking Habit.

One part horse sense and two parts of manly determination to keep stilL Mix well with an unlimited amount of the best quality of thought. It Is impossible for a woman to talk all the time without saying a lot of things that she shouldn’t or without proving a Jolly bore to everybody about her. This tattling habit is not confined entirely to women, though. Some men have the affliction terribly. Sometimes it’s wheat, sometimes it's chess, sometimes it’s baseball. A steady diet of one kind conversation is always tiresome. Take a nibble of this and a nibble of that, and yout chatter will be more interesting, particularly If there are plenty of rests between nibbles. Talking improves when there’s silence by way of contrast—Philadelphia Inquirer.
