Conversation with family and intimate friends is somewhat in danger
of becoming a little too informal, too laconic. Sometimes we take
our own folks too much for granted. At its best, however, this is
the acme of conversation, carrying the fullest meaning with least
effort. -from "Social Conversation" This classic of developing
confidence and poise when talking to absolutely anyone is full of
sound, solid advice that is just as useful today as it was when it
was first published in 1928. Two experts in public speaking-and
private conversation-cover the full range of interpersonal
communication: .at work: how to talk to your boss and your
subordinates .in civic situations: how to communicate effectively
at club and committee meetings .at home: how to enjoy personal
conversations more .in public: giving a lively speech. The authors
promise no "magic formula," just graceful guidance for becoming a
more thoughtful and resolute speaker. JOHN MANTLE CLAPP (b. 1870)
also wrote Doing Business by Letter and Language for Men of
Affairs. EDWIN A. KANE was an instructor in public speaking at the
College of the City of New York.
