Well worihfiuulvaung ‘by Those to
Whomrlts: Poussiion Has
' Boon Denied.
The man who is a failure at small
talk never quite hears’what the girl
he is talking to has to say. He is
trying to think What he is going to say
next, so of course he cannot fail to
'misunderstand what the girl he is talk-
ing to says. He is beedless, abstract-
ed, worried and has a way of listening
to the conversation of others rather
than to those at hand. -
The girl whom men regard as a
good talker is always ready with a
laugh, and the girl who laughs well is
always popular. One-can excuse the
girl who giggle! 11 She giggles in a
way that makes others merry and
seems to tell those with whom she
immensely. that their stories are dell-
clously funny—thoneh they may be
very stupid—(ind that on the whole
she is enjoying herself and her com-
panions enormously.
“How should a man start the con-
versation at a dance?” is a frequent
query. There are 1,000 ways and al-
most any was is a good way provid-
ing it is prompt and whole minutes of
agonizing silence do not slip before
anything is said. Little personal re-
marks that are not impertlnent are
sure to win a girl’s attemion.
“I was impatient for this dance."
says the (popular man to the gin
dressed in old rose, whom he has met
for the first time that night; “because
I always find that I get along famous
ly with girls that wear pink. I can
tell a lot about a girl by the colors she
likes to wear." ‘
The man who never seems to know
what to say to a woman would say
something like this: "I knew I had
this dance with a girl in pink, but
there are so many girls in pink here.
and they all look alike to me so I was
afraid I would ask the wrong girl."
MANY USES FOR GIANT KELP

oi “Hootch.”
The aboriginal natives of British
Columbia and Alaska can always get
a suitable worm for distilling by pick-
ing it out of the sea. It is furnished
by the hollow stem of the giant kelp,
and serves excellently for the making
of "hootch" from a mixture of mo
losses and graham flour. The giant
kelp is anchored to the rocky bottom
by a root-like holdfast, from which
springs a stem that is sometimes 100
feet long. This stem is hollow for the
upper half of its length, and termin-
ates in a big bladder-like bulb from
which. as it floats on the surface,
fronds 50 feet'lbng branch out. The
plant grows ”in spores and is an
annual. One‘ Variety is called "sea
otters cabbage.“ and is very plentiful

flourishes nearly as far south as San
Diego bay. Bulbs of the giant kelp

bottles to hold fish oil and by fisher-
men ss haltholders. The Eskimos
utilize the hollow stem as a siphon to

which, being decked over, are not
easily baled in the ordinary way. Also
from sections of the stem they make
wheels for toy wagons.
