FIVE QUALITIES OF .
THE POPULAR Girl,
BY Polly Penn. g

> Attractive girls are like poets, In
that they are generally, supposed to be
born, not made. -s'.
But there are pretty good counter
feits of both species, and in world
like ours, where genuine things are a
tritie rare, the counterfeit readily passes
muster, If not for the real thing, at
least for SO pleasant substitute that
we can It afford to get on without it. "
you with the divine faculty of being
attractive, do the next best thing: make
yourselves popular. =
A fair face, a fine form, q great tai
ent, or ready wit, are gifts Of the
gods; but if the gods have seen fit to
deny you these graces there are others
you can cultivate for yourself, and
which may be Of more use to you than
great beauty or exceptional ability.
girl must cultivate in order to attain
popularity is tact. Tact is common
sense exquisitely refined. The girl who
is tactful never pierces the feelings Of
others with poisoned shafts of wit nor
bruises their hearts with stupid blum
ders. She says the right thing in the
right place, and she knows which things
are better done and which are better

list. Not the .senseless gayety based on
gladness Of heart which has for its
foundation a strong, sane optimism.
Men flee from the gloomy, complaining
creature as from a plague. It' IS a part
Of womanhood to make the sun seem to
shine even when it doesn't Few Ennis
sions' have a bigger reward.
Then, the popular girl won't talk
much about herself. Cause Why's There
are always others who want to talk
if she has learned to listen well and
draw them on to talk Of their interests
and plans, she has shown a winning
card in the game of making them like
her. ~, ...~. ,.... -. ..1. 100.
Sympathy is quality which comes
largely by experience. But, after ALL
IT. # has It's root IN usef ulness andHo
may BE = cultivated even BY the Sifl
whose life has run along the level plain
that both men and women like sym
pathy. They like to be condoned with,
instead of scolded: It goes to their
heart to be told, "Yes, I KNOW in
sweet understanding voice. and to
be made to feel that you do know.
Occasionally it goes to their head, TOO,
but you must be we'll balanced enough
to prevent that Observation-Disclosures YOU
are ar aiming to inspire something more
than popularity. ~ -
Finally, be feminine. Whether it is
because the masculine mind is Jealous
Of its prerogative, or because it is too
sincere to favor a sham (this is a nice
supposition, SO let's believe it), it looks
with contemptuous scorn upon the girl
who makes frantic efforts to- be- an
nish. The most rational male creature
likes feminine woman best. Femin-
Unity does not mean kitteninity. It
means womanliness. And no girl needs
to have explained to her the qualities
that go to make up that charm.

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
enc from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, ANOTHER from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
9r prostrRtion, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-geing
ana 1nd1nerent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate 9nd distinct diseases, Tor which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
only s1n"gt9oms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant Of tho
cause Of suffering; encourages this prae-
tiee until large bills are made. The SUI.
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse. by reason Of the delay, wrong
treatmen and consequent complfcat iens.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pieree's "a

THOMAS COCHRAN OF
J.. ST. PAUL IS DEAD

ThOmas cochran, one OF the most
public-spirited citizens of St. Paul, died

While Mr., Cochran was resident of

of all the interests of Minnesota. He
was particularly known in Minneapo-
lis for his efforts to induce the twin
cities to work together in a CONNER
cial and industrial way, and it was his
hope to live to see the two towns united
as one municipal corporation. Not

his clear, convincing manner expatiated
upon the advantages Of such union
