Pausing for an instant, the caterpillar
would turn his head and catch the ant

was done, they all pounced upon the

YOUNG MEMS POPULARITY.
Amiability Kindiiness, Manliness Integ-
rity, Are Its Foundation.

To the query, Are young men who
cannot, from religious convictions, play
cards dance or attend the theatar ant
to be popular with young women Of re-
finement and education who indulge in
such alnuse1nents? Edward w Box. in
Problems For Young Men, in The
Ladies Home journal, responds:
'Why, certainly Why not? The
amusements in which q man indnlgcs
have nothing to do with his outward
attractiveness or popularity. It is the
way IN which young man carries him
self IN his department. that makes cr
mars his popularity with girls or men.
One Of the most popular and delightful
fellows 4 know in New York has never
been inside of a theater, although he is
b years of age. Nor has he ever danced
on played cards. He was personal
friend for ten years before I knew that
his religious principles precludeG ais in
dulgence in these amusements. His Sc
cret is that he docs not carry his convic-
tions on his sleeve for everybody to rub
against. And Of his popularity with
women, young and mature, L can assure
you absolutely. He reads about the new
plays and can, therefore, talk about
them if they come up in conversation.
If asked if he has seen a certain actor
or play, he merely replies in the mega
tive. Never does he force his convic-
tions upon others A young mans pop
ularity with either sex rests upon some-
thing more than his forms OF amuse-
ment. Amiability Of manner, lzindli-
ness, pleasant address, a manly out
look on life, honorable prineiples-all
these go far toward insuring popular
ity-
