Conversation.
There
are
many
talkers,
but
few
who
know
how
to
converse
agreeably.
Speak
distinctly,
neither
too
rapidly
nor
too
slowly.
Accommodate
the
pitch
of
your
voice
to
the
hearing
of
the
person
with
whom
you
are
conversing.
Never
speak
with
your
mouth
full.
Tell
your
jokes,
and
laugh
afterwards.
Dispense
with
superfluous
words--such
as,
"Well,
I
should
think,"
etc.
[TABACCO
BROUGHT

ENGLAND
FROM
VIRGINIA
A.D.

217.
The
Woman
who
wishes
her
conversation
to
be
agreeable
will
avoid
conceit
or
affectation,
and
laughter
which
is
not
natural
and
spontaneous,
Her
language
will
be
easy
and
unstudied,
marked
by
a
graceful
carelessness,
which,
at
the
same
time,
never
oversteps
the
limits
of
propriety.
Her
lips
will
readily
yield
to
a
pleasant
smile;
she
will
not
love
to
hear
herself
talk;
her
tones
will
bear
the
impress
of
sincerity,
and
her
eyes
kindle
with
animation
as
she
speaks.
The
art
of
pleasing
is,
in
truth,
the
very
soul
of
good
breeding;
for
the
precise
object
of
the
latter
is
to
render
us
agreeable
to
all
with
whom
we
associate--to
make
us,
at
the
same
time,
esteemed
and
loved.
