She has had a fairly good edu- cation and can converse with almost any one upon any subject. “Now, it seems that when in the company of men friends who take her out of an evening she loses her talka- tiveness, and although she has lots to say, at the end of the evening the pleasant company becomes boresome and the chap does not take her out again.
