adaptable appropriate sincere and easy will appeal to the most frivolous" she tells us soothed entertained interested pleased with him or herself It affords one of the most real and lasting of ail pleasures: a pleasure that grows instead of palling We get tired of games tired of amusing ourselves but very few of us get tired of sympathetic pleasant talk What an easy amenity it adds to so ciety It is so easily carried about it costs nothing It is the eternal and essential ex pression of that social instinct which is one of tho happiest features of human As to what we are to talk about we are told: very essence of good conversation is to wander through all possible things in heaven and earth and under the earth The value of gossip is not to be ignored The trivial and the passing have their place in agreeable talk The great amusement of life to some people is to chatter about other people and they may do so very pleasantly but the power of turn ing from people to fix upon things means talk of a higher stamp It is always better to talk of what you know and think than of what you have heard or read It leads further Men are more apt to talk from their memories than from their understanding and to throw bor rowed and often hackneyed and conventional ideas about like balls never noticing that the same are always thrown back "The difference between conversation and mere talk seems then to reside less in what is said than in how it is said In order to talk really well we must learn to think Any subject may be material good enough if it is treated with thought and it our thoughts about it are expressed with lucidity and with due consideration for the thoughts of others Then we may agree that Emerson hardly exag gerates when he maintains that culti vated genial conversation is the last flower of civilization and the best result which life has to offer us a cup for gods which has no When Lucas was fairly competent Scott Browne went to the office of Pierpont Mor gan "If you will he said to Mr Morgan save time for you as it never was saved before You devote several hours each day to your correspondence Instead of writing you can talk By means of phonog

was saved in letter writing Mr Morgan dic tated a few letters in the presence of Mr Brown and when Mr Brown saw the letters written out Mr Brown declared he too must have a stenographer Mr Scott Browne was sent for but he had no stenographer to fur nish Mr Stafford cashier of the Morgan bank suggested that he had a son 18 years old who would study stenography and become Mr secretary Young Stafford became a pupil in the Scott Browne establishment the next day Mrs Scott Browne being his teacher Then Kountze Brothers the bankers heard the news and wanted a stenographer also George rancis Train jr was one of lhe clerks He was sent to Mrs Scott Browne for tuition He learned with remarkable rapidity and became one of the best stenographers of that day Mrs Scott Browne says that young Train was little short of a prodigy in stenography He was of a highly nervous temperament and was chain lightning at anything that caught his fancy As a result of the introduction of Lucas Stafford and Train to Wall street as stenog raphers there came a pronounced demand from other business houses The Scott Brownes could not supply one tenth of the firms who called on them for shorthand writers They were swamped too with pupils Clerks saw a fine field in the new line of work Hundreds of them flocked to 737 Broadway eager to learn the art Those were great times in the Scott Browne college The bulk of the teaching fell upon Mrs Scott Browne Teaching was her forte Her husband looked after the business rom eight in the morning until nearly midnight Mrs Scott Browne had classes and even then she could not accommodate all who sought to enroll as pupils' Court stenographers and others who had knowledge' of stenography reaped a harvest ns instructors Some of them opened schools in opposition to the Scott Brownes and were overrun with applicants But with all the schools that cropped up suddenly the demand for stenographers ex ceeded the supply Every business man as a She had studied

stenographers The day was not far distant he declared when stenography would be a profession Newspaper reporters editors and literary men who did not write shorthand would bo handicapped and business men would dictate all their correspondence to stenographers Experts would command fancy salaries and there would be such a demand for them that it would be hard to meet it Most of the visitors were curiosity seekers ew of them knew the meaning of the word phonography They inquired listened to what Mr and Mrs Scott Browne had to say and went their way Occasionally a man was in terested enough to
