HOW TO BE POPULAR.
Some Hints For Debutantes by Man Who
Knows.

Some Hints For Debutantes by q Man Who
Knows.
Always take it for granted that every
one means we'll by you unless you have
proof to the contrary. The average per-
son in society has good natured or at
least cynical sort of tolerance and
liking for you. Very few actually hate
you or want to spite you. When you
find out that there is some one who
does, don't discuss it or quarrel about
1t if it can be avoided. Just drop the
person from your life as completely as
possible, and, above all, never descend
to abuse him or her. 1t will hurt you
worse than it will your enemy.
Don't snub other women and girls
just because there is a man around. The
man will not like you any better for ig-
noring girl friend and earnestly de-
voting yourself to him. 1t is the mar
ried women and your girl comrades
who can give you good time or not in
the end. Very few women dislike you
because of your successes. 1t is because
of your Haunting them.
Never ignore older and married men.
They will not forgive it, and they WELD
mighty power.
Don't wonder what people are think
ing of your pose, and your gown, and
your hands, and the position of your
feet. Ten to one they don't even see
you, and if they do they are not bother
ing their heads about you. A very
young girls worst fault is her self con-
seriousness.
Don't be wondering what you will
say next. A pause is nothing deadly il
you do not make it so. Trying to say
something-anyth ing-to fill in a hia-
tus is the most potent cause Of that
mistake commonly known as putting
your foot in it.
Don't giggle; but, on the other hand,
don't look as if you were at wedding
or a funeral.
Use your eyes to say what it doesn't
happen to be practical to say with your
tongue.
If you happen to be left stranded fol-
one dance, never sit all alone on one
side of the wall to be pitied. Get UP
and go over to some group of matrons
and don't fancy that the whole room is
watching your transit

1t has been held that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one person of
family had died with consumption was
considered sure sign that others of the
family could not escape 1t. This is partly
true and partly untrue. A man with weak
lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to
his children. But there is no reason In the
world why the weakness should be allowed
to develop. Keep the lungs full Of rich,
red, wholesome blood, and the weakness
will disappear. Decaying tissues will be
thrown off, and new material will be added
until the lungs are well and perfectly strong
