TOUCHING THE QUES-
 TON OF POPULARITY
Letter Answer Which Very DiffcultThe Four Dual ites of Personality That Are Suggested to Render Popu larty Supreme Are Beauty, Grace, Intelligence
 and Radiance, But Above All, Love
Fly DOLLY DALRYsiPLE

I wish somebody else had received the J letter that was waiting on my desk for me yesterday morning.
 It Is from young girl, "debutante, looking forward to next winter with all the joy of life. who says:
 Please. Miss Polly. tell me how to make everybody like me-
 Sounds simple enough. doesn't 1t? / The very fact that a girl wants to be loved. it seems to me, should fill her cup 10 overfowing with affection.
 It argues in some roundabout way that desiring love she should :le wiling to give love, and I honestly believe that we get love and affection in the same degree that we give it.
 The one thing that this sordid old world CANNOT forgive Is the person who honestly loves it.
 This one, you understand. does not love it for her own selfish ends to get paid back in kind of fattering adulation that will stamp her the belle of her par ticuIar corner of the world.
 That isn't love.
 A person who sets out seishly to gobble up all The love in sight is in grave and imminent danger of pot even having peo- pie to like her.
 But there is an honest affection for ones fellow beings, radiant trust in their goodness and their honesty-a be- lief rooted very deep down In the heart

sWered commercially: great wealth and position of parents or re;atives. so that | many entertainments may be given. But that is cynical answer. Or Respondent | ly, the answer might be Just luckr And | that s a hopeless answer. But supposing the question were put q little differently: What can a young gfrl-who Is neither great beauty nor a great heiress, nor one to whom the gods stood sponsor at blrth-do to make herself popular? Let us sit down and take our chins in our hands and think about it.
 ''I should suggest that young girl must have, at least in some small de- gree four qualities There are children of fortune who have them all, and in l abundance, but as from a small palette of primary colors a great picture may be painted, just so out of few elementary attributes, quite wonderful results are possible. The four qualities of personality that I would suggest are:
 Beauty, grace. intelligence. radiance Beauty may be that of face, or figure, or 1t may be merely an effect of beauty through style, charm or even dne of the other three qualities following.
 "Grace includes not along symmetry of movement, but all accomplishments in &C., tivtty, such as dancing, skating, swim ming riding, and also any especial gifts. such as a talent for music or acting. In other words, the girl who has the gift of grace is the girl who does things we'll
 By intelligence is meant the sympa- thetic, adaptable quality of mind rather than that of the brilliant order But the one great attribute that crowns them all- granting, of course, some gift of the other three-but without which beauty, grace, oleverness are all as apples of Sodom- IS the sense of enjoyment, the gift of happiness: don't think l can better de- fine 1t than by the word radiance And, best of all, radiance Is a quality that can be cultivated"
 The advice of this clever writer, it seems to me, is well worth following. and would add that one thing that every woman ought to learn, if she wants to be popular-in fact she MUST learn it-is self confidence and self unconscousness.
 Another thing girl might easily follow the precepts of science that a good time exists in ones MIND.
 "debutante" must be fairly observed with the idea that she is good above all things, she must LOOK as though she were.
 She must be happy, be interested, be ut terly unconscious, as to whether she is having any attention or not. LOOK HAPPYi
 That REALLY is the FIRST maxim-if you would~be popularl
 Nobody has any use for CROUCH!
 All these rules and regulations may be | followed-for they are undoubtedly good ones, tried and true-and when the whole l thing is reduced to just one big bit of | advice on the subject it Is this: 1 To win love, give back love. | Give love and 1t shall be given back to 1 you, in measure heaped up and pressed down and running over, and you will be popular-so popular that you won't rec ognize yourself!

SOME MORE FROM MURPHY
ON TEMPERATE PLAYERS

CHICAGO, Sept 26.-Saying a Sun
day school club" is the best kind, Pres
ident Murphy, of the Cubs, today fur
Their explained his drastic no liquor
rule. Murphy began by saying that he
was seeking no excuse for losing the
1912 pennant A ball club, he said
must take defeat as gracefully as II
does victory. Then Murphy referred
to the suspension of Frank Schultz
for violation of the regulations against
drinking.
1T must not be assumed that the
members of the club have been guilty
Of wholesale dissipation" he said.
Some might think that because Of the
publicity in connection with SChute's
suspension it would have been much
better If he could have been penalized
without publicity From what | can
gather he was the victim of too many
So called friends. The publicity at
tending his suspension was a source of
deep regret to me.
Several clubs have suffered from too
much conviviality this year. The re-
suit has been numerous suspensions.
Probably the greatest compliment
that has been bestowed on the Pitts
burg club this year was by A former
Cub who now belongs to the Pirates
He derslvely referred to his pres
ent associates as a Sunday school team
II keeping sober and discussing plays
instead Of mixed drinks constitutes a
Sunday school team. then every club
owner should want one

FINEST DENTAL WORK
AT LOWEST PRICES

There is no finer dental work done
anywhere than by the Atlanta Dental
Parlors, yet prices here are so low as
to astonish those who have been pay
ing the usual dentists charges.
This is due partly to an immense
volume of practice that makes posi-
Bile a very small profit on each indi-
vidual case, partly to the very fine,
modern equipment and partly to the
fact that this establishment wishes to
make lasting friends Of its patients
Thousands of pleased patients are
walking talking advertisements for the
Atlanta Dental Parlors They would
not send their friends here if they had
been overcharged or had been given
inferior service.
