A careful analysis of n evening spent with them, however. wHl show they have simply become ex perts In tho business of listening. ITS all very simple when you look into It. People love to talk about themselves particularly men. A youth spends tho evening with the nicest girl he. met nt the duntfc the week before, flo walks homp buoyantly. He sighs rontcntcdly as he sizes himself up In tho mirror befoie pulling off Ms tic. "Tho evening flew all right." he Is thinking, "No silences with her. She's there when It comes to tnlklng." And up In her bedroom In the glow of a rose silk lamp tho nicest girl lr sizing herself up, too.

And If ho hasn't or can't, ask if lie's ever had any Rerlous Illness. An operation In j this case Is a godend. Any man will perk up and stay an hour longer to tell you about how the nurses treated i him In the hospital, ' If the oting man Is In uniform and most young men are these days, the evening Is assured. No one can tilame a soldier or a sailor boy for wanting to talk about the great new experience that Jias come to him. THIS answer Is not facetiously given. It Is my honest and often proved conviction that the most pop ular girls are tho ones who arc the best listeners. Of course, they must Vie Interested listeners. They must keep siflllc'.rntly abreast the times to know what people are talking about. It Is well for eveiy girl to take a. look at the sporting page once in ii while. It Is vitally neces sary for her to read the uii news All of this hccatisn the best listeners know uhen It is time to ask n ques tion and an Intelligent question Is more appreciated than an unintelligent one.

He would then represent New York State. Or be might bo dressed as one of the Pilgrim ithers. to represent Massachusetts. I do not think It would be satisfactory to have the girls dressed in white to rep resent the colonies. Colors alone would not be distinctive All of the colonies did not have distinctive flags or colors and some hud more than one emblem If you go to tho Historical Society, Thirteenth and Spruce streets, and ask for Preble's History of the American Flag you can get a great deal of In formation about this The librarian there will be glad to help you. I think, bow ever, it would be more picturesque to have the girls costumed to represent the States, a little Pilgrim girl, for Instance, to represent Massachusetts, a dressier lady for Virginia, etc. You can get a good idea about the costuming from a book In the art room of the public li brary "History of Costuming In America." You need not make the dresses as elaborate as you find them in the book, but the pictures will give you a very good Idea. If you cannot get to the library, look up pictures In a child's history of the colonies. AVho Says Grace?

Tho move ment for tho formation of women citi zens' associations throughout the coun try is to receive Itr rapport and as sistance. The work of these associ ations Is many-sided. They provide a rallying point for women of all shades of opinion and by promoting discussion of tho social nnd political questions which specially affect them they do much to foster Interest and knowledge of these questions among the newly en franchised citizens.
