and every little mother bird busy making her nest for the

The pussy willow has brought forth It's small gray hoard Of
little downy balls Of blossom and the naked branches of all the
trees are hung with crimson green and brown buds that will
in time open to the sunlight and become strong green leaves
Like fragile scarfs Of lace the swamp willows are unfolding
and all along the tiny waterways thousand haberds
Of green are thrust through the moist pusng sod and every
blade is cutting its way to the sunshine.

leaders and lions is always brief.
Sincerity and tact,are two quail
tiles which make for lasting pop
ularity.
Sincerity in thought and pur-
pose, tact in the application OF
that virtue.
The tactful person knows when
and how to be silent.
Many sincere individuals think
q brutal expression of the most
unpleasant and disagreeable
opinions is an evidence Of their
sincerity. But the tactful man or
woman knows when to speak ana
when to be still and how to
change a topic of conversation
when some one has trodden on
delicate ground.
The woman who desires to be
popular should first OF all learn
the charm which lies in listening
we'll; and she should cultivate the
art of drawing others out, of
making those with whom she is
,thrown shine to their best ad-
vantage.

Grandma's Now Doing
the Clubs and

And the dear old grandmother,
the grandmother who at forty or
forty-fve years Of age was done
with the world and ready for the
chimney corner and caps, and
who asked nothing else Of life
but the pleasure Of taking care
Of her children's children and
tucking them into their littls
beds and telling them Bible
stories. Grandma just had one
best dress, good black silk, be-
cause she. was too old for the
frivolity Of clothes, and the said
black silk had a cavernous pock-
ct, in which she carried rattls
for the baby to cut its teeth on

a ball or string for Johnnie, and
a paper Of peppermint drops that
she doled out to the Riddles and
solaced herself with
Where's grandma? Dancing the
tango, gadding about Europe, go-
ing to the theater, running clubs,

have time to do when she was

The Art Of Becoming Popular
Ambition To Be Popular If Prompted by Purity Of Purpose Calls
for Nobility Of Character and Kindness Of Heart.

Unselishness. then, isSthe key
note to popularity. as it is the
key to the highest moral worth.
But this unselfshness must be
mingled with good sense, with
tact, with delicacy and refine
ment, in order to serve as an aid
to popularity.
Without these ingredients un-
selfshness and generosity some
times become obstrusive, Of
ficious, and offensive.
The most perfect type Of popu-
lar woman is she who can Shine
like the sun when sunshine is
needed; yet who, like that orb,
does not always shine, but retlres
behind the clouds and calls atten-
ton to the brilliancy Of the stars
and the moon. One who can be
entertaining, or amusing, or in
structive, as occasion demands,
but who can always put Herself
in the background in order to ex-
hibit the graces and charms OF
Others, and who is ever ready to
rejoice in another's success with
out any belittling clause AFFIXED
to praise.
One who can be tolerant 81. the
ideas and opinions of others,
while holding entirely opposite
ones; and who knows how to hold
fast to her own ideals while I'M
derstanding how others may fail
to do so.
The popular woman has quick
perceptions, and. however great
her vogue, she is never blinded
by conceit to such an extent that
she fails to perceive her own
faults or neglects correcting them
one she sees them.
That which she finds disagree
able in others she decides to
avoid doing herself.
And those graces and quail
ties which appeal to her in
others she cultivates.
To seek popularity for the sake
OF being popular means the
undermining of character
To seek It through a desire to
be a benefit. a pleasure and
comfort to humanity means the
building Of character.

Well Have to Excavate
for Old Maids
Soon.

Yet, believe me, in another
hundred years the anthropolo-
gists will be excavating in old
graveyards for the remains of an
Old Maid, or genuine prehistoric
Lachrymose Lady in the Grape
which she wore in life, and ex-
petitions will be sent out to hunt
for the skeletons Of old Grand
mothers, who had soft breasts
and big laps and deep pockets.
There are only a few scattered
examples Of women Of these
types extant now, living in re-
mote villages. There is none in
the cities. In a little while they
will have all vanished and moth
ing remain Of them but a ira
dition.
Take the old maid. There really
used to be such a persona thin
chested, anemic female, with a
sharp nose and a razor-edged
tongue. Disappointment at not
catching a husband had turned
the blood in her veins to vinegar.
Dissatisfaction with the barren
ness of her life that had no pleas
ures and no interests in it made
her find whatever zest she had in
existence in prying into other
peoples affairs.
She was maker, q
scandai-n1onger, a frebrand in
the community in which she
lived. She hated every man. be-
cause men had sighted her. She
loathed every wife for having the
things she did not have, She was
ANONYMOUSLY jealous of every
young girl whose youth and
beauty reminded her Of her own
lost charms, and she took a bitter
revenge on the world in tale
bearing and gossip that wrecked
homes and blackened the names
Of innocent maidens Everybody
hated her, dreaded her, feared
her. She was ons Of the pests
Of society.
Where is the old maid now?
Extinct. Extinct as the Dodo.
Plenty Of unmarried women there
are-nore. perhaps. than ever be-
fore in the history Of the world.
but they are no more like the
old maids of the past than a
glass Of generous wine is like
a drop Of vitriol.

heights he seeks. Unless he is

ALL the elements OF greatness
