The world talks, too much; of that
there is no doubt. But the happy. mer-
~, irresponsible sort of people who talk
too much are more to be loved than
YOU, who meet every attempt at friend
liness with a curt Yes or No
They, at least. are human, They are
interested. They are also interesting.
You are neither Ny dear girl, COME
OUT OF YOURSELF!
In those four words you will find
the remedy: Come Out of Yourself"
Did she take my advice? She is the
most beloved woman in her large circle
of friends today.
She came out of her self-absorption
and found interest in friends and books
and the great big world
She GAVE And she RECEIVED.
She made herself interested in others,
and in doing il she became interesting
And there is no other way my dear
girls You must be interested or you
will never become interesting

T ONCE knew a girl who was so good
it was generally agreed by her
family and acauaintances that no
girl codld be better.
But she hadn't friend. The reason:
She was neither interested nor inter

When her associates attempted to
talk to her they soon found that the
conversation was all on their side. She
responded with Yes or NO" so abb
rupt as to be barely civil and they
soon tired of throwing the conversa-
tional ball to her, and then running
after it. that they might throw it again.
She never tossed it back. Her Yes
and NO" conveyed more unfriendH-
ness, less interest more apathy, less
humanity than any other words in the
English language. \ dog expressed

Women stop exercising, not because

they stop exercising; because they lose

tonic; after you've tossed and caught it

had come in without any paint and

artificiaity which makes her look abso-

footlights when she is on the stage.
You know. I don't do any of those
weird things that are supposed to keep
you beautiful, and that people insist all
actresses must do, in order TO preserve
what looks they've got" said Miss
Dresser. looking at me candidly. while
she paused in the act of beading her
eyelashes, which means putting big
Jumps of black paint on them.
AS a matter of fact, the actress who
wants to look well gets back to common
sense and first principles in healthfUl

beauty did anything extraordinary like
