Deify forum, Saturday, Sept, 7, 1963 3 Ruth Millett Be Nice to Be With When a woman has warmth and charm, she adds a great deal to any occasion, She makes friends with the greatest of ease and is often envied by othtr women because of her popularity. The women who envy her would do well, instead, to emulate her. She likes to meet new people and shows it in several ways. She is friendly and Interested at the first meetmg.

She remembers the name, and goes out of her way to speak first the next time they meet. And she is always quitk to introduce a new acquaintance to an old friend. She talks enough to put other people at ease, but not enough so that she ever monopolizes the conversation. When someone else Is doing the talking she listens with a responsiveness that Is both satisfying and flattering. She laughs easily, so that the little incident someone else tells for a laugh never falls flat.

Other women are comfortabe in her presence, for she try to outdo them, or give herself a big build-up. She seem to need to always be right. She is as pleasant and agreeable with women as she is with men. She can make small talk with anybody. It especially it is friendly and interesting and lively.

No! one of the traits that won her the reputation for being delightful person is difficult to acquire. Anyone can develop warmth and kindness if she cares enough to work at it. versaries in August were honored. Mrs. Alma Rhodes was chosen as Miss Universe, Mrs Mable Adwell as Miss Missouri and Mrs.

The N.F.O. voluntary grain sales agreement specifies that the base price will not be less than $2.75 per bushel for No. 1 yellow soybeans. All farmers producing soybeans and feed groins for sale should contact the county grain bargaining committee for more information.
