AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT The Gentle Art of Conversation Net Wholly Forgotten Even In These Busy Daya la Hy SARAH O. LOWRIE I WAS entertained net long age by the dls tnnyed anticipation of nn nwful tlm en the part of some newly weds who were asked te ii dinner where there was te be neither bridge nor ''jazz," ".lust conversatien: think of it I the feminine ' occupant of the departing enr walled hack nt us ns their rendstcr passed the uninvited members of the fntnily serenely nwnltlng our summons te n fnmlly meal. ".lust conversation" and feed were what these two would have had at home with no premonitions of heieddm te spoil the com bination. Hut nt home one could fall Inte ft contemplative silence without being con spicuous, one might even grew sleepy with impunitx before n pleasant fire In nn easy chair, and then xvnkc te talk, or wnke te rend, or wnke te tnke n turn In the garden under the stnrs, or go te bed scarcely waking without nny self-consciousness about seem ing festive. Verv few persons there nre who enjoy being 'oiiscleusly anything, lenst of nil eon scion -1.x geed tnlkers. We are net trained te de it with n light touch. We hnve net the art of sp-irklliiR te order most of us. I have heard mere nmuslng conversation from n let of youngsters bursting with geed spirits nnd kc.vcd up by some common ex perience of boredom or nbsurdlty or pomp pemp pomp eusness than I hnve from noted talkers, hard at It keeping up their reputations. I DO net think thnt because one writes wittily one tnlks cleverly, nor Is n witty tnlker one te he alvvnys counted en te make n thing go. Yeu can cress-current a witty talker In no time by nn innocent Inndxert nnce Mint nn ordinary guest would net notice. Celebrities turn hnlky en one's hands, tee, from causes that one can never forestall.

There Is also the confused hostess who never attempts te l lake any order out of the chaos of forced lete-a-letes all down the table. And theie is, lastly, the dctcrmlmd hostess witu ix piegrnm who treats the guests as though the.v were little kindeigartners and I rodnees mid or comical objects te catch and xva.vlu attention.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, NOW MYJDEAJS THIS! Daily Talks With Thinking Philadclphians en Subjects They Knew Bast DR. LEICESTER B. HOLLAND On Archeoleglcal Excavations at Colo phon TIID excavations new going en at Colo phon pieinlsp te reveal some things ex ceedingly unique In tlie civill7atlen of that once nent eltv. and some of these hnve been nlreadv brought te light, sax s Pr Leicester 15. Helland, of tills citj. architect of the Amer ican Archeoleglcal Dxpedillen te Colophon. "In antique times." said Dr. Helland, "thnt is from the fifth centurv, the richest treasures of ("recce were net In (Iri'cce proper. Hut Asia Miner was particulaily lich In antiquities, ami maiiv excavations mnde there In the Prencli and the (lei mans have ipvenled some extraerdiinr.v things about that day and its e ivilizatien. The ex ex cavatiens made nt SiirdN. the capital of ancient Lvdin, weic made b.v an cNpeditien from Princeton. "Hut excavations in Asia Miner Involved considerable hard wink and much diplo macy, ns the teulleiy, wlihh bade fair te be the most fruitful, was in the dominions of the Tuikish Dmpire. The Tin If were difficult te deal with and Ibex had no sxm pnthv with tlie qui'st ler an heoleglcal knowledge whiih only excavations can give. The Colophon Epeditleu "Fer these reasons, when the (lieel.s came Inte possession of thnt tenileix. evei one interested ill the matter looked le the coast of Asia Miner as being the most piemising field and the main elllllcultx would be elimi nated, as the decks haxe alwaxs facilitated exeavntlens. or nt lenst been willing that they should be made. "Harvard accordingly raised the money for all expedition te be cenducleil bx the Aincilenn Si hoel at Athens, a icsearch in stitution for classirnl graduate siudenis. The elireder of the school, Miss C.eldmaii, looked ever the ceunlr.x and selecteil three sites, of which, it was decided, that that of Colophon was the most premising. "Colophon Is n citv which dates bin I; te the times of ancient Tiev. Net n grcit deal is definitely known of its hlsterv . but It was once the capital of ancient Lvdia. and lifter that was capluied by the Persians. After the defeat of the Persians It became an independent citv and wns a member of the Ionian Lmgue of Pree Cities It xxas a flourishing city in Ihe time of Alexander the ("rent, and ceased te exist about 'KID 11 C. The territer.x In which It lies win given' bv Alexander te one of his generals, Lvsytnacbus, who decided te make Dphesin the 'great city eif the teglen. and simply took nil the people of Colophon ns well as several ether lnrge settlements nnd moved them nil te Dpliesus Value of Colophon Di aval Inns "The excavations thus far made at Colo phon have largclv verified these historical as portions. Antiquities haxe been found which date bm Is le the time usiiallx given as the dnte of tlie fall of Tiex, and they include some things never before found iu Asia Miner. "The excavations give clear evident e thnt Colophon was n nourishing ciix in the fourth century M. C . nnd that it came te a sud den btep, thus bearing out what has been gixen as its hlsterv. This was one of ihe chief reasons for the selection of Colophon ns n possible site for excavation. "Where a citv hns I'entiiiued in existence for centuries, the later cvili7aten, ns n inntter of course, Is bound te eliminate, te n certain degree at least, the elder civili.a civili.a tien, and the two lire se mixed as te render the elder things considerably less vniiie te tlie student of classical times. Mut here wns n cit.v which had suddenly ceased te exist. There had been no IntPr civilbntlen laid en top of the elder, and for this lenseii Colophon lepicseiits perhaps mere ncciirateiy than nn ether known place the state of civilization In tlie feiinli lenlur), the llme when It xxas abandoned iu favor of the larger Dpliesus.

"One of the most interesting developments which the e.xc.ix-ntiens 1ms shexvn Is thnt the iiti7.(iis of Colophon clearly understood some of the fundamental elements of cit.v planning, nnd that they carried It out very much as some of our larger cities nre doing today. Tlie evidence en this point Is very clcir. "Tlie terrace where our digging is being conducted wns apparently covered ever with houses for the greater part of Its length, and then It is evident that the citlens decided te make a large open space, evidently for the marketplace, and te (lank it with lnrge buildings at right nngles. There is also in disniitnble evidence thnt streets, which hnd bee n originally crooked, were made stralglit. "The public buildings which have been discovered hnd been built upon the site of private houses, which were condemned for this purpose, nnd the new civic structure built en top of the houses which were tern down., Tl.e remulns nf the foundations of what weic unquestionably private houses are still standing under these of the civic build ings.

Prebablv tin' xvhele nren of the city will never he completely cxcnvnfsd. "The private houses of the Colophon period were one-story high, but every house hnd one second-story room, with n stair wax lending te it Just vvlint the purpesc was of this single room en the second fleer has net jet been shown. 1'sunlly the houses had six or eight rooms en the first fleer. The excavations of n Inter period, such ns these of Pompeii and Delus, show two-story houses generally In use. Street Drains Were Known "The Colophon houses nil had well-made tile reefs, nnd the streets bad equally well lnacle tile diliins.

"Theie nie very few bathing establish ments this old which have been excavnled thus far, nnd this fenture nf the Colophon cxi ivntlens may prove te be of even mere importance when tlie entire establishment is evauitrel.
