Hic ability to talk easily with

you’re willing to work at it.
Sincerity breaks through, like
the morning sun, and it counts
for a lot. Spotting the absence of

Being witty, and well in
formed on a variety of subjects,
will make you welcome in any
group, IF you don’t boast and
hog the conversation. Your

stantly, give someone else a
chance to speak up.
What the world needs, when
people get together, are more
good listeners. Some of the most
popular individuals you’ll ever
meet have won the hearts of
many associates by shoviring
interest in what they say.
It is irritating when you in
terrupt someone else, or clearly
indicate that you’re chiefly
concerned with what you’re
going to say next. All of us know
people who are obviously not
keeping track of what you’re
saying.
The fault is so widespread
that you too are guilty of the
same thing at least part of
the time. Take stock the next
time you’re conversing in a
^oup, and see how often you
interrupt, or your mind strays.
Poking fun at yourself, rather
than others, is an excellent way
to make and keep friends.
People react favorably toward
a person who is willing to admit
his or her shortcomings, and be
the object of his own humor.
Think twice before you poke
fun at the other fellow. Are you
pointing out something for
ridicule that the victim has no
control over? Is it fair to heap
humiliation on someone who

audience drooled during this

Later, onlookers were treated
to a pageant, and what a
pageant It was. Included in the
array of talented performers
were the seven Vestal Virgins,
the Emperor Augustus, the
Empress Livia, Marcus An-

Maxiumus, Maecenas, Virgil,
has a physical flaw that he,
more than anyone else, is aware
of?
It is neither clever nor
original to single out the ugly
duckling, and pick on him or
her. You may inspire laughter
on the part of those who are
attractive, or better dressed,
but is it worth a broken hear?
If you’re physically at
tractive, or above the average
in intelligence, you can’t take
credit for it. All you can take
credit for is what you do with
the capabilities you are blessed
with.
Remember, as long as you
live, that it isn’t how far you go,
but how far you came from.
Horace, Ovid, Cupid, Psyche,
.Julius Caesar, Calpurnia,
Brutus, Mark Antony, and a
nifty group of Persian dancers.
Romulus and Remus were on
hand too, along with the she
wolf that allegedly nourished
then in infancy. The version of
the myth portrayed by these
Latin students was a revelation.
Dressed swaddling clothes,
and cradled in a paper boat, the
twins howled like all get out for
sustance. Thereupon, the she
wolf ankled out on stage with a
bowl of cereal, and spooned
them full of the stuff.
Caesar was bumped off in a
most unusual manner. Instead
of falling prey to an assortment
of daggers, he was pounced
upon by hoodlums with cap
pistols. Even so, his ex
termination was accomplished.
Mark Antony’s oration over
Caesar’s carcass gave a new
twist to history too. Mark,
smoking a cigar and toting a
lily, stood on Caesar’s tummy
and said my heart is in the
coffin with Caesar. “Your feet
are in it too,” complained fte
uncomfortable corpse.
Latin, way back when, was
dead all right. As dead, that is,
as two tomcats fighting on a
galvanized roof.
