UTAH wa whenever anyone put himself on the spot Glancing around the room, the only place she could think of to peek from was under the bed. From this angle, by lifting the frills of the bedcover, she had a ringside view of the note on the dressing-table- . She'd be able to watch Bill's reaction when he read the note, and then, if he didn't stage a horizontal but went to the drawer where the gun was kept instead, she'd jump out and do her stuff. She crawled floorwards and wriggled her way into position. Too bad she couldn't have a cushion or two to help her get comfortable, but there wasn't space. The floor was mighty hard, and it wasn't possible table: Stella watched him read bed-cove- r, it, peer at it, turn it over, and finally fold it away in his pocket. There was dead silence while he starstood beside the dressing-tabling blankly into space; deciding whether to use a gun or the gas meter, Stella supposed. She was all set to haul herself out the moment he made for the drawer where the weapon lay. Instead, he opened his wardrobe and, with a deep sigh, took out a suit a good suit, which be put walked Into the bedroom and that her missive was still there, just where she'd placed it on the dressing table.

Anyway, the best way to see a thing, she decided logically, was to go to the place where it was happening and keep your eyes open. in the afterIt'd been noon when she had written the note, n and by she'd changed her mind a few score times, packed a suitcase with a few clothes, just for appearance, and closed the front door behind her with a firm resolution never to darken the threshold again until Bill went down on his knees and craved pardon. Knowing Bill was due home at five o'clock, the thought occurred to her that unless she hurried she'd miss the show, and if she did that no one would forgive her, least of all herself. The threshold was darkened once kgain as she entered the flat, but she didn't look at it that way. After all, maybe she'd been a little harsh with the darling boy; perhaps there was something in this Jaded business man notion, or else why did movie magnates make pictures of And then them? the spectre Bashed like' a lively nightmare through her mind there was a chance, an awful chance, that Bill would kill himself with that gun he'd bought during the burglar scare.

HDWW 4W ; V t BECOMING A GOOD LISTENER He's gay, he's debonair, he's popular, he's sought after for his wit and charm. Among his friends are many attractive young women. The other day he was telling me about how he evaluates the personalities in deciding whether to continue their friendship or not, for he is a critical judge of personality and apparently is a man who is hard to please. My friend says that the one quality he looks for, the great quality of attractiveness in a human being, is simply that of showing interest in the other person and in what he is saying. "Whenever I take a young woman out to dinner for the first time," he explained, "I begin talking. She doesn't know it, but I am giving her a personality test. "I tell her of some experience of mine. I don't talk about things I'm sure would bore her, but I try to make one of my experiences interesting to her. "I say something like this: T had an interesting weekend a couple of weeks ago. Some amazing things happened to me. It was really funny.' And then I interrupt myself. 'Is that draft bothering you?' I'll ask." "Then what's the next step?" I asked him. "Why, I wait to see if she'll ask what happened to me on my trip or whether she will forget it and talk about something else." "Most of them ask you to go on, don't they?" "They do not. That's Just the trouble. That's why I say that the average man or woman misses a fine opportunity to develop lasting and interesting friendships by not taking a deeper interest in the other person and In what he is saying." I think that this man has hit upon one of the most vital subjects in the whole field of improving your life an expressed Interest, a sustained interest, a lively interest in the other person. If you develop that, though you may have none of the other attributes of charm or appearance, you will have a priceless aid In becoming more popular. And if you want to see how few people actually have developed it, give those with whom you are thrown Into contact the same personality test that this man described to me talk to a person about yourself a little while, then interrupt. Probably six out of ten won't ask you to get back on the subject I'll wager that the four out of ten who do are the ones you like and respect the most.
