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 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 II 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
taCtfU mess. Cultivate an ability to walk
through life without stepping on other
people & COrnS. Make II a business TO
remember what subjects are like wav-
ing red flag before a mad bull to GER
tain people, and don't be so stupid as
to talk about divorces to people who are
enjoying their third husband or wife, OF
about prison life to those who have
son in jail.
Finally, beloved II you would have
friends. you must show yourself friend
ly; if you would be liked you must make
yourself likable. Why should anybody
pine for your society if you are an ego
tistical bore? 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
companion as a pOrcupine would be-
Why should any one invite you TO her
house when she can be perfectly sure
that you will stab her with some sar-
castle speech that will cut right to the
hearth
But. on the contrary, now delightful
to have about that kindly, genial, cheer
full individual whose presence makes
every pleasure more delightful; the
sym pathetic friend into whose unwearied
ears we can pour the story OF our woes,
the tactful woman who knows how TO
Intricate every situation so that human
intercourse goes on without the creak-
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

n YOUNG girl, who desires to be
~ admired and liked, writes to me
4 n 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.
/ can not answer my correspondent 3
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 yet
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
SOnality that draws us to them Just as
irresisubly as the magnet draws the
needle. This is gift of nature. FOrtu-
nate. indeed are those who possess it.
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 it 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. IL is mere con-
ventionaliIy. 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 IT, while you are
listening you can assume an expression
of absolute interest Write it down as
one Of the immortal truths that to each
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
a donkey than with the tongue Of CT

who wishes to he popular il never to be

One Woman s Plan.

The most popular woman l ever
knew always made it a point to de-
vote To-day to thoughts Of others
and reserve To- morrow for herself.
- have SORROW she would think
to herself, but I will put off grieving
over it till tomorrow. / am not go
ing to fret about anything for myself
to-day / will leave all that for to-
morrow when I may have more time. -
The tomorrow never came. Every
day was so filed with thoughts for
others that they overlooked into the
next day, and when her personal wor-
ries and troubles saw that she would
never have time to fret or worry over
them, they flew away.
That's the plan, my dear! Your
heart is going round and round and
will grind on itself unless you give It
something else to grind.
Pour INTO the hopper a never end =
ing stream Of love and thought and
care for others That's the secret of
popularity!

"A milestone and the human heart are
ever driven round.
If they have nothing else to grind,
they must themselves be ground"
n YOUNG woman writes me:
~ Il do not understand why l am
not more popular with the
young folks I meet | dress better
than any of them. In fact l know
of no girl who thinks more of her
appearance than l think of mine. 7
am entertaining, vivacious. always
have something to say and say it
well and at night when I have my
head on my pillow ] can think of no
one who has made a greater effort to
entertain, or said more clever things
than l.
Il am the neatest dressed girl at
the office, and have never let the de-
mands Of others for sympathy, or as
sistance, lead me to neglect myself.
In fact, l think of myself all the
Time How to improve myself how
to do my hair, how to make my
clothes, etc, etc, but somehow /
don't seem to be as popular as other
girls"
This is the reason: In the begin
ming you had a nice big heart, just
as big a heart as ever grew in the
breast of any woman. You wanted
to be loved-all of US do-and you
decided that to be loved you must
make more of self.
You didn't know that the way to be
loved is to make more of others.
Has to Grind.
The human heart Is ever driven
round. 1t must grind something. You
gave yours nothing to grind, and it
began grinding on itself. And now,
though you are still young and that
nice big heart you had in the begin
ming should be unchanged, you have
let it grind on itself till it is no
longer of respectable size, and the
little that is left is out of all shape.
1t is sharp and angular and hard
and cold instead of being of beautiful
curves and soft and warm. 1t is de-
creasing in size day after day, and
oh. l greatly fear, my dear, that I'M
less You give it something to grind on
i. will grind itself to nothing.
Give it the cares and sorrows of
others Give it problems and burdens
