WOMEN’S CONVERSATION
We must admire the indefatigability of Miss Margery Wilson, an American lady who is described as an “expert on feminine charm.” ft appears that she has completed a “conversation test” on 10,000 women of all grades of society, and has discovered that the modern woman has “a wide range of subjects, and is an authority on at least two sports; she does not gossip ; she does not scandalise; she does not talk nearly as much as she used to do.”
This will bring comfort to many who are accustomed to deprecate their own sex, and it will be increased by Miss Wilson’s further announcement that the woman of ordinary intelligence between the ages of twenty and thirty has sixteen subjects about which she can talk at the dinner table.
