A LESSON IN
SMALL TALK
By B. ISRAELI
(Copyright, 1*04, by Daily Story Pub. Co.)
I T *S suffoc ating here, Count Bob
I rinski,” Miss Throckmorton said
to her partner, at the end of the waltz;
"please take me to some place where I
can cool off.”
The affair was given by one of the
social leaders of Farragut Square, in
honor of Count Woldemar Bobrinski.
This amiable young man was being
lionized by Washington society that
season. He was a Russian nobleman
of great wealth and ancient lineage,
said to stand in excellent favor with
the czar. He was traveling in America
that w inter, and was just then the guest
of the Russian ambassador at Washing
ton.
"Some great Russian writer says,”
began Lilian, as soon as he and she
were safely ensconced in a cool and
retired nook, "some great writer says
—was it Tolstoi?—that you Russians
do not possess the art of small talk.
Is it true?”
"Very likely Tolstoi said it. and very
likely it is true,” returned Woldemar,
readily. He was prepared to uphold
the reputation of his great country
man, and admit everything, if that
would advance the other's esteem in
foreign lands. Your genuine Russian
is nothing if not patriotic.
"Shall I give you a lesson?” asked
the girl, her eyes playing brightly.
"I shall be under great obligation,”
the young man replied, simply. “I
have come here to learn. Miss Throck
morton,” he added, with becoming hu
mility. “You know, it is to the young
west that the old east must turn for
enlightenment,” he explained. This
young man spoke English almost per

—and one was not habitually critical
in dealing with Woldeniar.

Lilian Throckmorton was one of the
flitting belles of the national capital.
Daughter of a rich western mine-own
er, she was that season the guest of
the hostess of thti evening.
"A penny for your thoughts,” said
she. presently.
The young man seemed absorbed at
that moment Whether it was the
curls of the girl’s fair hair, at which
he was gazing abstractedly just then,
or the matter of small talk, in which,
as a Russian, he was so inefficient, that
occupied his mind, is problematical.
Perhaps it was both these factors to
gether, and possibly others besides.
“Is not that bid rather rash?” bantered
he with equal gayety.
"Perhaps," returned the girl, with a
deprecating gesture. “Still—”
“Yes?’ encouraged the young man.

“I'll ri - . it," announced the other,
facing Vt demar with resolution In

“On se ond thought, ‘no!’ said the
count, determinedly. He twirled hia
mustache for a second, then contin

Throckmorton: I’ll let you have mv

!y. He was making a men

The g. looked straight ahead ol
her for oment, then: “You were
thinking some beautiful woman m
St. Peter u irg,” said she. coyly.
“Wrong:’ sighed the count. “I was
thinking of—” he cut off his intended
speech abruptly. “Wotild you reallj
like to know?” asked he, solicitously.
Lilian’s curiosity thus pricked,
“Yes,” replied she softly.
"1 was thinking of some beautiful
woman here,” returned the other, hi*
dark eyes ablaze with passion.
The girl flushed a little. ”1 do not
wish to be thought ill-mannered,” said
she, “but I do confess to a certain curi
osity."
'‘Which is perfectly natural,” Wolde
mar hastened to quench any scruple*
his companion might have, “consider
ing that I am responsible for launch
ing the subject.” Poor man, he little
knew the other’s capabilities.
“And so?” Miss Throckmorton raised
her wonderful eyes to those of tho
young man. •
“And so, in her little hand”—ho
glanced cursorily at those of his com
panion, lying idly in her lap—"in her
little hand she holds my happiness.”
said he with, considering the subject,
wonderful self-possession. "What
would yon advise me to do?” asked he,
anxiously.
Thus appealed to, Lilian remained
thoughtful for a full minute. “If I
knew the girl,” said she finally, with
characteristic innocence, “if 1 1 n. .v
the girl—assuming that it is a gin—l
might be able to advise.’ '
I “As to that,” returned the young
man, craftily, “as to that, I’ll venture
to assure you that you do know her."
"Perhaps,” admitted the other, "but
not intimately, and so I cannot ad
vise.” Before the young man could say
anything, Lilian proceeded to explain:
“You see, 1 have heard rumors,” and
she looked up at him radiantly.
"Rumors!” echoed the count, con
cernedly.
—very much in demand—over—in cer
tain quarters,” said the girl, with a
toss of her fine head.
“And so?” asked the young man,
hopefully.
“And so. with the field clear, and a
welcome certain, I fail to see that you
need any more advice,” replied Miss
Throckmorton gravely.
The young man took the girl's fan,
bent his head close to hers, and whis
pered in her shapely ear: "Shall I tell
her that I love her?”
Lilian smilejl very amusedly. “I un
derstood that you have done that al
ready,” said she pleasantly.
“No, not directly,” returned the oth
er, resignedly.
‘‘Nor intimated it in any way?” pur
sued the girl, laughing musically.
‘‘I could not say positively as to
that,” replied he, naively. "It is pos
sible that I have done so, however.”
“I dare say,” remarked the girl, gra
ciously.
Woldemar took a deep breath. “I
cannot make her out,” said he, dole
j fully.
"You have my sincerest sympathy,
j my dear count,” the other responded,
piquantly.
“She tolerates my company, is rather
■ pleasant—but it is a far cry from this
to love,” continued he, lugubriously.
Lilian answered with a peal of sil
; very laughter, displaying thereby the
smallest and whitest teeth in the
i world. “1 should utilize my first op
portunity to make sure,” advised she,
light-heartedly.
The young man looked devouringly
on the girl by his side for a second
“Have the goodness to answer that
question,” said he, seriously.
“Oh!” came a small exclamation. A
pair of blue eyes, matching the heav
ens in their purity, were raised in sur
prise and wonderment. “My dear
count,” said Lilian, admiringly, “my
dear count, your cleverness forces it
self upon my mind more and more per
sistently.”
Bobrinski sighed helplessly. “Does
my love seem so ridiculous?” asked he,
piteously.
The girl colored crimson, in spite of
herself “Is it not a shame!” said she,
sympathetically.
“Most assuredly!” was the decided
r< ponse.
"What would you? We American
gills are so heartless!” And Lilian
loo < d very humble.
"I am too old, I suppose,” said the
man. who was but 29.
"N ; perhaps you think me too
youn ,” replied the other, who was al
ready 23.
“Too young?" Woldemar raised hi.s
eyes questioningly at the girl's trian
gular face.
“Too young to know things.” ex
plained Lilian.
“I see!” The young man fanned his
companion most violently. “What is
it you know?” he whispered, softly,
watching her small mouth for pearls
to come forth.
“The niece of the Russian ambassa
dor—” began the girl, distantly.
“A youthful affair,” interrupted the
other, shrugging his shoulders elo
quently.
“I had a youthful afTair of my own,”
said the girl, irrelevantly.
“I beg a thousand pardons,” came
from the nobleman, imploringly.
“Granted a thousand times,” re
turned the girl, queenly. “I shall re
main true to that.” continued she, with
a far-away, dreamy look.
“Of course.” The Russian was
silent for a moment. “How am I pro
gressing?” he asked, with barely
raised eyebrow*.
“Progressing?” queried the girl.
“Yes, in small talk,” explained the
young man.
“You are a wonderful adept,” the
teacher replied, admiringly. “Let ut
join the dancers.”
Was it merely small talk? Lilian
asked herself later, in the privacy oi
i her apartment.
Thirty-one thousand, three hundred
| and eighty-three homestead entries
were made in the northwest prov
inces of Canada in 1903; 64.000 home
stead entries have been received ir
the northwest in the last three years,
equal to 10,000,000 •ncres. The entries
| l’or 1903 were double the number oi
| 1902 and as many as for three years
; previous. These 31,383 homestead en
i tries mean an addition of 89,907 to the
\ population.
President Woodrow Wilson’s remark
to the Pennsylvania Bar association
that the law is no longer the learned
profession it was once, carries with
it the implication that somebody is to
blame for this deterioration. The
ignorance of the lawyer should be ex
cused by no one.
