propensity to be generous to the
limit Of extravaganza, and to he
ever ready with unmean:ng fat
terry, but the reign of these social
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
a brutal expression OF the most
unpleasant and dlsagreeable
opinions Is an evidence of their
sincerity. But the tactful man or
woman knows when to speak and
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.

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

Unselfshness, then, is the key
note to popularity. as 1t is the
key to the highest moral worth.
But this unselfshness must be
mingled with good ssense, with
tact. with delicacy and refine
ment, in order to serve as an aid
to popularity,
Without these ingredients I'M
selflshness and generosity some
times become obstrusive, Of
ficious, and offensive.
The most Lerfect type of popu-
lar woman Is she who can shine
like the sun when sunshine is
needed; vet who, like that orb,
does not always shine, but retires
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 Of the
ideas and opinions OF others,
while holding entirely opposite
ones; and who knows how to hold
fast to her own ideals while UNI
Outstanding how others may fail
to do so.
The popular woman has quick
perceptions, and, however great
her vogue, she is never blinded
by eonceit 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 1t through a desire to
be a benefit, a pleasure and a
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 ali vanished and. moth
ing remain Of them but a ira
dition.
Take the old maid There really
used to be such persona thin
chested, anen1ic female, with q
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 IA It made
her find whatever zest she had in
existence in prying into other
peoples affairs
She was a maker, 3
scandal -monger, a Arebrand in
the community in which she
lived. She hated every man, be-
cause men had sighted her. She
lcathed every wife for having the
things she did not have. She was
venomously 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 rnaidens. Everybody
hated her. dreaded her, feared
her. She was one Of the pests
of society.
Where is the old maid now?
Extinct. Extinct as the Dodo.
Plenty of unmarried women there
are-more, 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 vitrioI.

the achievements of others. 1t
calls for the elimination of all
Jealousy, all tendencies to gos-
sip. all impulses to be indolent,
or Indifferent. or self-centered.
Therefore, It would seem that
an ambition to be popular is at
the same time an ambition TO be-
come a worthwhile Individual
and practical Christian.
The man who sets out 10 be q
great discoverer in science, or
great creator in the world Of
art, NAV not have the time to be-
come a popular man in his own
social circle. But, II he Is decid-
edly unpopular, he is sure to lack
some Of the large elements OF
character which are necessary to
bring him to the summit Of the
heights he seeks Unless he is
liked and respected by those who
know him best some hing is anliss
with the man.
There Is a cheap and temporary
popularity which comes from the
ability 10 amuse otherA from the

The large majority Of people
may like something mediocre. and

which contains many Of the ele-

Unmarried Woman Now
Only Has Time for
Business.

Business killed the old maid
The unmarried woman Of to-day
has her business or profession or
her independent income, She has
her own home, her myriads OF in
terests, her friends, her amuse-
ments, and she is the jolliest,
most whole-souled and liberal
minded person you can meet in a
days journey. She's too busy
with her own affairs to nose into
other peoples. and she is so hap

Grandma's Now Doing
the Clubs and
Theaters.

And the dear old grandmother,
the grandmother who at forty or
forty five 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 little
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 a rattle
for the baby to cut its teeth on
and a little dolly for Sally, and
a ball or string for Johnnie, and
a paper Of peppermint drops that
she doled out to the kiddies and
solaced herself with.
where's grandma2 Dancing the
tango, gadding about Europe, 60
ing to the theater, running clubs,
doing all the things she didn't
have time to do when she was
bringing up family, and be-
lieve me. there's no room in
grandma's split skirts for any
sort of a pocket.
Grandmother is not raising her
grandchildren now. She's letting
their own mother attend to that,

Gently refused to live with her

extinct.

ness. She's so little like the old
maid Of the past that people don't
even call her an old maid. The
word is no monicker for her.
Then there's the Lachrymosa
Lady. Don't you remember when
you were a child some woman
who. always dressed in black
with a long, sweeping crepe veil
hanging down her back. and
slimpsy black skirts trailing
around her. and black gloves on
her hands-funerad gloves-who
used to come to see your mother
and spend whole long happy
day telling her troubles and
weeping over them?
No such woman comes to see
you. There's just as much trou-
Bile in the world now as there
ever was; God help us. Hus-
bands are unfaithful, children are
wayward. fortunes get lost: but
when these misfortunes befalI us
we no longer ascend to the wall
ing place and call on the public
to see US weep. We don't parade
our griefs in public, We hide
them and put up bluff at things
being well with US whether they
are or not.
Where are these lachrymose
ladies' now? Gone. The perpet-
ual mourner has vanished. Mel
ancholy is no longer a cult. There
is too much sunshine in the
world for us to have any patience
with the morbidness that care
fully cultivated melancholy in
stead of philosophy. and we
should regard a woman who let q
single unfortunate love episode
blight her life as a subject for the
home for the feeble minded in
stead of an object to cherish.
Hence the lachrymose lady has
wrapped her three-yard-long
Grape veil around her and stolen
away into the land Of used to-be.
