THE GIRL WHO FITS ALL OCCASIONS.

good time was a Irritation. Men do not
object to flirting, but a man with red
blood In his veins does not want to fiirt
all the time. 1t pals.
The canny girl knows this. h sizes
up a man and hands him out the sort
of entertainment he likes. She can
hirt If necessary, or be athletic, or
bookish, ~or whatever will best At the
occasion. Hence. she Is popular in
many circles.
The girl who wants to enlarge her OPP
portunities for pleasure should take q
leaf out Of the popular girls note book.
This girl of the blue sash and babyish
ways will probably wonder why h is
left out of this jolly party bound for
the woods. She will o realize that
she would not fit into 1t. Even IL she
went along, She probably would not
comprehend that her helplessness and
babyish ways were a drag on the party.
She would probably continue to think
them fetching, unless someone were
brutally frank enough to tell her. Then
she would weep, but she would not
change, She would probably say the
person who old her was horrid and
fiounce home in a tantrum. And when
she was omitted from further parties
of the kind she would wonder why.
A girl needs to be many-sided to get
all the good things that life holds. She
needs so to develop herself that she
can fit diverse affairs and really find
enjoyment in each. For pleasure is
there. Dances are fun, so are walking
Inc camping trips, houseboat parties
and spelling bees. There Is amusement
relaxation and a good time in all. And
IL a girl does not deliberately narrow
her interests and likings to one or two
Of these, If she will try with unpreju-
diced mind various amusements she
will soon find her tastes broadening and
life holding much more pleasure for
her than formerly.
