TRAINING THE MEMORY
Review frequently.
Concentrate your attention.
"
Plan your work, provided you work
your plan.
Never tax your memory when great
ly fatigued.
Cultivate the tendency to remember
your own actions.
Think over every day whnt you have
(lone and what you have snid.
Seize the moment of excited curios
ity for the acquisition of knowledge.
Dp not suspect your memory. If
you suspect it, you cannot trust it at
all.
Associate the thing to be remem
bered with something ever in your
mind.
When you wish to retain fine words,
speak them as soon as possible to your
self. If yqu wish, to remember a short
quotation or anecdote, and so forth,
tell it.
Note the difference between the
thing to be remembered and something
fixed In your mind.
Acquire the habit of accuracy. If a
thing remembered is wrong, you would
better have a poor memory.
If you would remember permanently,
It is" necessary to keep your mind on
the subject for some considerable time.
When you commit a passage to mem
ory, quote the author, und class his
nape with others you cannot forget.
Never try to force memory when
something seems to be forgotten. Turn
to something else, and it will soon
come up.
When you form an opinion on a cer
tain subject, commit to memory all
your reasons for doing so. If you
change, you want to have the. date,
and why you changed. .j
For catching up material for early
use, the evening hours are best, but It
must be something that Is familiar.
The early morning Is the best time to
commit new facts and principles. J.

TACTICS
By HELEN E. IVERS.

nilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllri
Eva flung herself on the couch with
a deep sigh. Hazel, her older sister,
sniiled encouragingly.
"Yes, sister," she said, "tell me ail
about it."
Hazel and Eva lived in the small
town of W . They were well known,
each in a different way. Hazel was
very pretty and rather a belle in the
social world, while Eva, though as
pretty as her sister, was not as popular
with the same people. All of her teach
ers and more studious friends admired
her very much, but that was not her
greatest desire.
"Aren't you going to tell me, Eva?"
Hazel asked, seeing that her sister was
still silent.
"There's nothing much to tell," Eva
finally answered. "I'm discouraged,
that's nil. What I want to know is,
how do you get all the boys that you
like to notice you? I never can.
There's Jack II, for Instance. I
like him, hut I'm not especially fond
of him, and I show that I don't care
whether he comes near me or not, but
still 1 can't go anywhere that he does
not follow me. Others, that I would
like to have show an interest in me
hardly notice me, and I am just as nice
as pie to them. I should like to know
the reuson.
Hazel was amused. "You are funny,
Sis. You don't know human nature at
all. I'll tell you the reason why."
The next night was the senior dance
at the college, and Hazel and Eva were
planning to go. All day they whispered
together. When night came both giria
dressed and then waited for their es
corts. They did hot wait long. Very soon
the bell rang and Jack B was heard
approaching.
"Oh, dear," Eva sighed. "I wish
that he would disappoint me Just once
in his life. It gets rather boring to be
so sure of Just what a person will say
or do."
Just here Jack came In, rather more
sadly than was his wont.
"I'm so sorry, Eva," he said, "but
I'll have to disappoint you tonight I
have had a telegram calling me to N ,
where my father was in a railroad ac
cident. "Oh, Jack," Eva was all sympathy.
"I hope that It Isn't serioua."
Jack shook Ills heud. "The tele
gram doesn't give me much encourage
ment. However, I must go right away.
Probably Hazel will let you go with
her."
"Oh, yea," Hazel hastened to say.
"Don't worry, Jack. I'll aee that she
gets there all right"
Jack went toward the door, but be
fore he reached there he turned back
"Will you please come to the door
with me, Eva?" he asked. "I have
something to sny to you."
Wonderlngly she followed him, and
was hardly outside when he seized her
hands rather roughly.
"Oh, Eva, dear," he murmured huskl
ly, "how I love you. Won't you marry
me, please?"
She pulled her hands away quickly.
"No, Jack," she said firmly. "I can
not I do not love you."
She turned and re-entered the room,
leaving a dumbfounded Jack behlud
her.
"An hour litter she was at the dance,
feeling miserable. The luetics udvlmtd
by her sinter had been used. She wa
very cool with all of the boys she hud
been aspiring to have like he r, and
one and all had decided that Unit rath
er "dull little sister of Hazel," wus a
charming little thing when one got to
know her.
Kva was certainly outdoing herself
tonight Nobody would ever have
guessed that ehe felt ud, for despite
her merriment the did feel lonesome.
Her wish that Jack would dispoliit
her once had been fulfilled sooner than
she had expected It would and al
though she knew that hi excuse had
been good, she felt uimci-oiintubly
Slighted. Shu wus undoubtedly re
lieved when It was time to go home.
About 15 minute after she reached
home, the telephone rung.
"It's for yon. Kva." Hazel railed,
who had run to nnawer It "Vou'r
geiting popular, SI. 1 certainly wai
proud of yn, tonight."
Wondering who It wa. the went to
the phone and to her delight Jink
Welcome voire mine over tlie Mire.
"I thought you'd like to know," he
Id. "that It all a mistake about
father. He ws on the train, but un
hurt" "h. I'm so glad." Kva cried. "You
hum be, too."
"Well." and his voire was rertsln
ly Joyous, "you ran Just believe I sin.
Hut" and his voire betrayed emotion
bow, "I sin sorry thst I anno)-d yon
tills evening. I might have known
that yon couldn't rare for nie."
Kv was trembling, but she man
aged to answer. "Oh, you needn't be.
I've almost rhaiifed my mind."
"Whs whet?" Jxk rhed. "Oh, Jot
risrllngl I'm rumlng home on the tint
train In the morning and change that
InrniiaUtetit mind of your for good,"
And the telephone operator had the
audartty to giggle.
