DOROTHY DLX'S ARTICLE,
AnyM
a Beau
By DOROTHY DIX

, the explanation of the phenomenon
lay in the fact that one girl had that
mysterious attracting power for men,
the come-hither look in her eyes that
draws men on, while the other had it
not.
Personal magnetism is the result of
nature, not of cultivation, and yet a
girl can do much to make herself at
tractive to men, for after all, men
are simply creatures and easily
pleased.
Any girl with ordinary intelligence
can learn enough about the things
men care for to talk interestingly;
she can acquire the art of listening
with an expression of absorbed in
terest while man talks to her, and
unless she is an utter fool she can lead
a man to talk about himself. So vast
is human vanity that every man or
woman we meet within five minutes
gives us a tip on his or her peculiar
weakness, and we have only to fol-
low that lead in order to make our
selves agreeable to that particular in
dividual
Most of the girls that l have known
who never had beau had only them
selves to blame. They were girls
that terrified men by either being so
seii-coHSclouS ana Sny tnat man
had to do all of the entertaining him
self, or else they were girls who were
so monopolistic that they made a
man feel as If he had been kidnapped
and was In danger of being dragged
to the altar by his captor.
However, in a case like that of my
little girl friends who wants to have
a good time, and who is left out of
all of the frolics of the girls and boys
about her. the difficulty is squarely up
to her mother. There isn't much that
the girl can do herself to help the
situation, but her mother can do
everything.
What this girl needs, and the only
thing she needs, is opportunity, and
that her mother can give her. If
her mother will get busy giving the
girl series of little parties, she will
force the other girls to invite her
daughter to their parties, and the
young men to pay her attention.
Mothers to Blame For Daughters
Lack of Popularity

nave just been entertained at Mabels
house, or are expecting to be enter

Many girls social success rests
on basis of her mothers cakes and
sandwiches. II nothing for nothing
is the rule Of the world, 1t is equally
true that something for something al
ways goes, and we can always get
what we want If We pass the legal
tender over the counter.
Mothers can make or mar their
daughters popularity in society, and
1t is we'll for them to remember that
you can make people fight for any
KIND OF package of tea IL you will
give an attractive enough chrome
with it. Therefore, it behooves those
parents with daughters who are not
run after to get busy batting their
traps.
If girl lacks attraction it Is all
the more the mothers duty to make
her home so delightful and so hos
p1table that young people will like to
come to 1t. People will always go
where there are good things to eat
and bright, CHEEKY atmosphere, and
against such a background even a
d
borrowed radiance. Also the people
that you entertain are bound in COM
mon decency to make some return,
and SO the girl who could not go any
where on her own initiative bowls
merrily along the gay social way
through the momentum her mother
has given her.
Parents Have Queered the Chances
OF Many Girls
Youth is not only the pleasure time
of life with girl, 1t is the season
of her opportunity, of her chance to
marry and settle herself we'll in life.
and it is just as much parents busi-
ness to help daughters secure good
husbands as it is to help their sons
get into business. A grouchy father
and an indolent mother have aueered
many girls chances in life.
My little friends mother could
make her a belle and give her a low
GUS youth If she would. So could al
most any other girls mother. and the
pity of it is that the mothers are too
selfish and stupid to do it.

gas range and the piano.
This girl is exactly the sort of girl
that every mother and sister would
like to see her son or brother marry.
She's the very type of young woman
to make a good wife, but for some
reason that nobody can explain she
doesn't attract men at all. She never
has a beau. She is never invited to
go to any place of amusement by
after the other young people when
they go trooping off without her TO
have good time.
Naturally, this distresses the girl
very much. She's young, and Graves
the enjoyment that belongs to her
time of life, and she wants to know IL
there's anything that she can do to
take herself out of the wall-tiower
class and get into the bunch, so to
speak
OF course nobody can really tell
what it is that attracts a man to
maid. In its essence it is that illu
sive something that we call personal
magnetism. and that is the gift of the
gods.
Personal Magnetism Is the Result of
