Social Success is at Your Door!

Converse wittily,

Listen intelligently,

Laugh judiciously.

When the conversation turns, as it so often does in the
seats of the mighty, to the French Debt, the German
theatre, the book of the moment in London, or the play
of the hour in Paris, your opening is at hand.

Take the floor quietly unobtrusively, in fact. With swift assurance and in crisp well-turned phrases, lightly spiced with shrewd humor, tell your admiring audience what the French press really thinks of Stresemann, which books Caillaux has been reading in the last six months, why Wells and Belloc call each other, 'Liar!' or words to that effect.

Now with delicate adroitness shift the scene to Pekin.
Describe the latest activities of the Soviet Ambassador.
Distinguish, if you can, one Chinese General from an-
other. Show how the ambitions of Japan, Russia, and
Britain are likely to clash.

"But," you may object, "where am I to find so much to
say?"

The answer is to be found in the form of the new semi-
monthly Living Age which will be sent you on the first
and fifteenth of the next six months for the tiny sum of
two dollars.

The Living Age Company, 8 Arlington Street, Boston, Mass.

Gentlemen: Enclosed please find two dollars for a six months' subscrip-
tion to the Living Age.
