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 If nature
has seen At to endow you with the gift
OF mimicry conceal # as carefully al you
would a hump on your back. II you
have the faculty of hitting OF the weak
nesses of your fellow creatures in an
epigram, choke yourself on II rather
than give uttsrance to it, and no mat

bright things that bubble TO your lips
IL they would leave any sting behind
Laugh with people, but never al them.
IL you would be liked, for we may for
give those who SANDER and raduce 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 II a business TO
remember what subjects are like wav-
ing a red flag before a mad bull to GER
tain people and don't be so stupid as
to talk a bout divorces to people who are
enjoying their third husband or wife. or
about prison life TO those who have a
son in Jail.
Finally, beloved, If you would have
friends, you must show yourself friend
ly; il you would be liked, you must make
yourself nkable. 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 a
companion as a porcupine would be
Why should any one invite you TO her

a YOUNG girl, who desires to be
II admired and liked, writes TO me
n and asks II l 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 smile.
I can not answer my correspondents
question to tho letter. The secret Of
popularity is one Of those Dundreary
things that no fellow oen md out. Some
people attract US. and others repel us
without ever being able to give any
reason for It. There are scapegraoes
that we adore, and saints that we hate
at sight. There are people with no pre-
tensions to bT1lllRnoy of whose society
We oan never set enough, and learned
individuals who bore US stffr. 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
ity. Some people have a charm of per
sonality that draws US to them just as
irresistbly as the magnet draws the
needle This rs gift Of nature. Fortn-
but those who have not been 50 blessed
as to be endowed with 1t can cultivate
other qualities that make 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
aek you how you are, 1t is a 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 II. while you are
listening you can assume an expression
of absolute interest. Write II down as
one of the immortal truths that to each
of US thu one subject of burning thrill
ing heart palpitatinK interest Of which
herself No people Are considered 30
universally fascinating as those who are
eloquent listeners. and II is better in
society TO be endowed with the ears OF
a 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-

WHY He Gave Penny.

nature of his son, 90 as the boy was
going 10 church one morning he SAID
Here, Benny, is a dime ana a

which coin he had given. Benny re-
piled

"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 / meet. l dress better
than any OF them. In fact, l know
of no girl who thinks more of her
appearance than ! think Of mine. l
am entertaining, vivacious, always
have something TO say and say 1t
We'll and at night when l have my
head on my pillow l can think of no
one who has made a greater effort to
entertain, or said more clever things
than /,
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. It must grind something. You
gave yours nothing to grind, and II
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 Ii is nc
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 II something to grind or
1; will grind itself to nothing
Give it the cares and sorrows OF
others. Give 1t problems and burdens

GEORGIA IDEAL
FORP|CS, SAYS
STATEEXPERT
J. L. Downing, Club Organizer,
Expects to Have Record Exl
hibit at Next Fair.

ATHENS, Nov. ii. L. Downing,
newly appointed State organizer of
Pig Clubs, with headquarters at the
College of Agriculture, halls from
Iowa. He thought Iowa was the hub
of the universe in pig growing, but
after visiting parts Of Georgia during
the last few days, he declared that If
Iowans should come to Georgia they
would not return, so great are the
advantages in raising pork here COM
pared with Iowa.
He was astonished to find that It
was possible to fatten hogs in South
Georgia at 8 cents per pound by
feeding peanuts. He thinks a little
corn would finish the meat and give
it q better flavor, but he finds that
Georgia is producing the corn, too,
at a very low cost.
Mr.. Downing believes Georgia can
be made one of the greatest meat
producing States in the country. His
purpose now is to induce every boy
that joins a pig club to get a pure
bred pig. Preparatory to this, Mr..
Downing is getting concessions from
breeders who will discount their usual
prices rs per cent. to help the boys.
He expects to have the finest show
ing of hogs at the State Fair next
year ever seen in the State, with all
1t means in demonstrating what
Jimmie can do with a pig on the
farm If he Is allowed one and is per-
mitted to feed 1t according to best
methods.
