limit Of extravaganza, and to he

terry, but the reign Of these social
leaders and lions is always brief
Sincerity and tact are two quail
ities 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 disagreeable
opinions is an evidence Of their
sincerity. But the taetful 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
well; and she should cultivate the
art Of drawing others out, OF
making those with whom she is
thrown shine to their best ad-
vantage.

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 a 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
win have all vanished and moth
ing remain OF them but ira
dition.
Take the old maid. There really
used to be such persons thin
chested, anemic female, with a
sharp nose and 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 and whatever zest she had In
existence in prying into other
peoples AFFAIRS.
She was a mischief maker, q
scandal rnonger, 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
venomously Jealous Of every
young girl whose youth and
beauty reminded her OF her own
lost charms, and she took 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 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 vitriol.

Unselfishness, then, is the 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 I'M
selhshness 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 I'M
Outstanding 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 ii through a desire to
be a benef1t, a pleasure and q
comfort TO humanity means the
building Of character.

calls for the elimination Of all

sip, all impulses to be indolen;.
or Indifferent. or self-centered.
Therefore, 1t would seem that
an ambition to be popular is at
the same time an ambition TO be-
come worthwhile individual
and a practical Christian.
The man who sets out TO be
great discoverer in science, or "a
great creator in the world Of
art, may not have the time to be-
come a popular man in his own
social circle. But, If he is decid-
eddy unpopular, he is sure TO lack
some Of the large elements Of
character which are necessary to
bring him to the summit % the
heights he seeks. Unless he is
liked and respected by those who
know him best something is amlss
with the man.
There is cheap and temporary
popularity which comes from the
ability TO amuse others. from the

woman to take a long step for

Such a woman, possessing no
