pretty debutantes, my dear child, have
you decied how you are going to conduct
your summer campaign"
How am I going to conduct my sum
mer campaign" she repeated after him
in amazement, says Dorothy Dix in the
New Orleans Picayune.
A look of WEAKNESS and pain swept
across his face. There" he said, Ge-
iectedly, its just as I suspected. Here
you are about TO plunge INTO a reG-hSt
campaign without a particle Of prepara-
ton You don't even know what line you
are going to fight II out on. That's the
most distressing thing about women. They
never think until a thing is over, and
then it is too late. I don't want to dis
courage you. but you had just as well
make up your mind beforehand that the
summer resorts this season are going
10 be well nigh Adamless Edens, and the
girl who has any partner at the nops
or invitations to moonlight strolls is going
to need to know all the points in the game
she is going to play
Now, there are all sorts Of girls, and
they have got all sorts of chances. but
see in which type you win be most
effective. 1t is nothing but superhuman
vanity that makes a woman think she
can be everything. and do everything. In
one role she is effective. In another she IS
absurd. You can't imagine Julia MarloWe
doing a coon song, can you, or Della FOX
thrilling you as Lady Macbeth? There
never was a more misleading fallacy than
the old theory that woman made herself
fascinating by being a creature of whims
and moods. one thing one time, and some
thing else the next. Nobody in these days
has got the time, or is going to take the
trouble to be always chasing around after
a lively conundrum.
Nov, being the daughter of a business
man, you have doubtless heard 1t said that
nothing succeeds like success. Nowhere
else in the world is that truer than in
society. If you want to be a BELLE and
be admired, act like one. 1 have known
proyident girls who left orders with their
confectioners, and were pursued by boxes
of bon bons wherever they went. so ex-
travagant of Jack they would murmur
indifferently as they generously passed
around the box, and first thing you knew
some fellow was running himself for choc-
olate creams in an effort to supplant the
mythical Jack. Now, my dear, l am not
my brothers keeper, nor his apologist, 1
simply state il as a fact, that no man
was ever known to admire a girl that no
other man admitted. l don't know wheth-
er we need each others opinion to brace
us up. or what it Is, but you will observe
J1a1I
blv half dozen men falling over each
other 10 dance with one girl, while an
other, just as pretty. just as desirable,
lust as good dancer, sits neglected by
the wall.
Never dance with another girl. Tt is
public announcement that you were over
looked by the men present, and another
preferred before you, and SO far IS an
admission of failure. You may not dance
because you are tired, or the weather Is
hot or for any other excuse that appears
reasonably plausible, and still retire from
the ballroom floor with honor and the
air of a victor, but TO dance with another
girl is a Notifying confession of defeat.
This does not apply to long walks and
talks with other girls. The woman who is
not beloved by her own sex, who does
not have girl friends, and like girls so
ciety, is always regarded with suspicion
by men Cultivate the society of other
them. Many a honely girl has got nice
brothers. so shall the angel food you east
upon the waters return to you after many
days.
Another thing don't be too hard to
please. Kicking is a distinctly masculine
perogative. A disgruntled. dissatisfied,
fretful woman is something that strikes
terror TO the boldest heart, and the he
roes have all gone off to the war this
summer Don't always be drawing COM
parsons. II, with infinite trouble, some
young man manages to hire the solitary
blackboard, or the dilapidated carry-all of
the summer hotel don't enliven the occa-
sion with "reminiscences of the time when
you were on somebody's four-in-hand and
had such a love OF q time. II somebody
gets up a sandwich and beer supper and
invites you don't turn up your nose and
say you can't eat anything but birds and
champagne. There is no other feminine
charm equal 10 adaptability. The girl who
can DO anything, who Is ready for any
thing, who is willing to be pleased with
everything that comes along, can give the
spoilt beauty odds In the game and beat
her every time. She is tho one who is
never left out when the nay rides and
fishing excursions and tenpin parties are
made up.
Everything is fair in love ana war, and
at summer resorts. has long been fav-
orite motto with the girl who thinks it
knowing to try 10 monopoiize every man
who comes along. She takes him off for
long solitary walks, invelsles him into
tete-a-tetes, and wild horses couldn't drag
her into introducing HIM TO another girl.
1t Is a fatal mistake. He sets her down
as selfish and jealous, and, worse than
ALL, she bores him to death. My dear
child. no one person is the whole show in
life. Two strangers can have little to
say to each other, whereas the introduc-
ton of others into the conversation makes
everything smooth sailing. 1t is better to
be one Of a charming group than solitary
bore. Never keep a man with you after he
begins TO get tired. Get tired yourself
first Anticipate the being bored feeling,
and send him off and the chances are
he Will hunt you up the next opportunity
because he will not be afraid Of getting
caught and having to stay.
Don't hint. The poor summer resort
young man is seldom a disguised million
aire. He is only an impecunious wretch
who has all he can DO to buy few pairs
of white duck trousers and a handful Of
neckties. and give himself a couple Of
weeks off somewhere. Learn to pass the
seductive soda water counter without a
yearning glance. Cultivate a distaste for
