petition of the local merchant
is an open question. The fact
remains that the parcel post is

The Secret of Popularity

cause they are funny. There Is no other
way in the world by which a woman can
SO certainly commit social suicide as by
the dagger of wit and among the best
hated people that you will ever find, are
the ladies who can not resist saying
smart and cutting things, no matter
whom they hurt.
A sense, of humor is a most delightful
thing in a woman, but when the gods
would destroy a woman they give her
wit Men fear her, women loathe her
and society shelves her. So II nature
has seen fit to endow you with the gift
of mimicry conceal It as carefully as you
would a hump on your back. If you
have the faculty of hitting off the weak
nesses of your fellow creatures in an
epigram, choke yourself on it rather
than give utterance TO it, and no mat
ter what the temptation never say the
bright things that bubble to your lips
if they would leave any sting behind.
Laugh with people, but never at them,
if you would be liked, for we may for
give those who SANDER and traduce us,
but we never forgive those who make
us appear ridiculous.
The fourth secrecy Of popularity is
tactfulness. Cultivate an ability to walk
through life without stepping on other
peoples corns. Make it a business to
remember what subjects are like way
ing d red flag before a mad bull 10 GER
tain people, and don't be so stupid as
to talk about divorces to people who are
enjoying their third husband or wife, or
about prison life to those who have
son in Jail.
Finally, beloved, If you would have
friends, you must show yourself friend
ly; if you would be liked you must make
yourself likdble Why should anybody
pine for your society If you are an ego
ustical bore2 Why should anybody en-
joy listening to you If you do nothing
but pour out a torrent of melancholy
tears and walls at fate?
Why should people want to have you
around when you jump on their pet
theories, and are about as soothing a
companion as porcupine would be?
Why should any one invite you to her
house when Sne can be perfectly sure
that you viii stab her with some sar-
castle speech that will cut right to the
heart2
But. on the contrary, now delightful
10 have about that kindly, genial, cheer
full Individual whose presence makes
every pleasure more delightful; the
sympathetic friend into whose unwearied
ears we can pour the story Of our woes
the tactful woman who knows how to
luhricate every situation SO that human
Intercourse goes on without the cresk-
ing Of a single wheel. Verify. we all
rise up and call her blessed and on our
invitation list her name leads all the
rest,

a YOUNG girl, who desires TO be
~ admired and liked, writes to me
L - and asks if I can tell her how to
become one of those fortunate ones who
are always welcome, and at whose com
ing every eye brightens and every lip
takes on a smile.
l can not answer my correspondents
question to the letter. The secret of
popularity Is one OF those Dundreary
things that no fellow can find out. Some
people attract us. and others repel US
without ever being able to give any
reason for it. There are scapegraces
that we adore, and saints that we hate
at sight. There are people with no pre-
tensions to brilliancy of whose society
we can never get enough, and learned
individuals who bore us stiff. and vet
by every law of logic we should prefer
the company of the more intelligent.
Only we don't.
Undoubtedly that Elusive quality that
we call personal magnetism has a great
deal to do with an individuals popular
ity. Some people have a charm of per
sOnality that draws us to them just as
irresistibly as the magnet draws the
needle; This is gift of nature. Fortu-
nate, indeed, are those who possess il,
but those who have not been so blessed
as to be endowed with it can cultivate
other qualities that make a very good
substitute.
My first piece of advice to the girl
who wants to be popular, is to make a
Cast-iron resolution not TO talk about
herself Just take il for a rule, that
has mighty few exceptions. that no
human being on earth, outside of your
mother, wants to hear all the details of
your humble existence. When people
ask you how you are, it is mere con-
ventionality. They are not thirsting and
hungering TO hear all the symptoms of
your last illness, or the CORY partiCu-
lars of some surgical operation that
you've gone through.
The first secret of popularity, then, is
not to talk about yourself, and the sec
ond secret is to talk to people about
themselves or at least to listen, while
they discourse about themselves. This
is a cinch, especially If, while you are
listening you can assume an expression
of absolute interest. Write it down as
one of the immortal truths that to each
of us the one subject of burning thrill
ing heart palpitating interest OF which
we can never hear enough Is himself or
herself No people are considered so
universally fascinating as those who are
eloquent listeners, and it is better in
society to be endowed with the ears of
donkey than with the tongue of CT
cero.
My third piece of advice to the girl
who wishes to be popular is never to be
sarcastic or say sharp things Just be-
