DON'T BE SELFISH

No matter how attractive a girl may be in
face and figure if she is thoroughly selfish
all people will shun her. No careful person
is likely to be charmed with the girl:
Who never thinks of anyone but herself;
Who never makes an effort to oblige others
and yet expects to be waited on hand and
foot herself;
Who never will own that another girl is
pretty, but endeavors instead to find some de-
feet in her to point out to others;
Who never does stroke of housework, but
selishly INDUCES in gaiety and amusement
while her mother slaves to keep affairs in
ORDER
Who never is happy unless she is monopo-
LIKING the conversation and the interest of the
men in the room;
Who never takes any notice of children, but
considers them little nuisances,' plaques,
who ought never to leave the nursery;
Who never confesses she is in the wrong,
but sticks to her point through everything
Who spends all her money on dress, sweets,
or some luxury for herself;
Who never bestows a kind word on those
beneath her in position;
Who never, above ALL could love seri-
ously consider the comfort of any other per-
son but herself.

Fay Templeton attracted so many OF the
polo players last night chat It was impos-
sibie for the Rink and Orange teams TO
play their scheduled game at the Rink
Rather than dlsappoint the large crowd
present Doc. Williams drotted out his
babies. the Rink Jrs., and Wilmington Jrs.
After two 15-minute halves uhe former
won by the score Of TO ]. The contest was
very interesting and the skin displayed
by some OF the youngsters was quite as
good as that shown by some Of the larger
boys.
The Rink Jrs. outclassed their opponents
both collectively and individually, the pass
work OF Chandler and Lagan was really
brilliant and -their playing was the fea-
ture Of the evening. The former lad, in
handling the ball. has no equal in this
ctg, and his size Is the only thing that
presents him being the best polo player
here.
For the losers. "Vic" White played an
excellent defensive game at half back and
