I know a little about each one t a certain numl ber of things, talk uutil I have cx- hauated that little and then change? I tho subject quickly." j This woman had mastered the secret sec-ret of modern versatility. It Is manifestly mani-festly impossible for the average per-, ton to dig deeply Into many branches! of knowledge. Life is no full of com-j , polling forces and responsibilities and .'touches tho woman of today on so! many sides. We must understand a 1 ! little about all.

That belongs! ! to the real genius, and, alas! few ofj jus are in thnt rank. j I But possibly It's just as well that, (we have to scatter our Interests andi thoughts. Geniuses are all right In j .their places, but are apt to be a little: trying and one-sided in real life. The, i one thing necessary Is to realize that even though we would be diverse in 'our interests there are limits beyond! , which we must not go, else we shall i find our conversation bores our acquaintances. ac-quaintances. nn ! |
