Then their talk would lead from this to trees, then
fruits, and finally the large problem of forestation, all
of which was outlined in the book.
Finally the dinner came, and the two big men were
brought together. Everything went smoothly for a while.
To every question the first fighter would ask, his oppo­
nent would answer just es the book had suggested. But
when they came to the question “How many cocoanuts
can you eat in one day?” the second fighter was com­
pletely stumped. He grew red in the face and looked as
though he wished the dining room was a ring so that he
could show his opponent something he knew.
It was evident that he had forgotten his partner. What
would have happened if the first fighter had not realized
that the second also studied the book? But he did real­
ize it, so he turned the conversation to a subject upon
which they could both talk intelligently.
Intelligent conversation is an art, which may be culti­
vated by listening to great conversationalists, and by
thinking and reading so that you will have something to
converse about This does not mean to read a book on
etiquette as tho foolish prizefighters did, and other top­
ics.—NA.

The Mother whose cooking you have

for so many years. She’ll tell you that
our bread is “home-made” in fiavor and
wholesomeness, but that it is more uni­

and that it is obviously more economical. After

exercises by translating some Ro-1

though some of these stories
are rather unreasonable they add
to the interest of the study of
Latin. The class is also tracing
