she was about to knock and ask for
shelter she saw little farther down
the road a beautiful mansion.
'Ill go to that place, where they
are RICH" she said, land well able to

who lived there heard the knocking
and opened the window "What do you
want?" he asked.
",Will you please give me shelter for
the night and something to eat?' she
asked
The rich man saw that the girl was
poorly dressed and thought Of all the
valuable things his mansion contained,
and said: Il cannot take in every beg

models, and some exquisite combina-
tons of pale pink and baby blue are
seen.
Belgian ornaments of braid flourish

server for the Belgian army, the man
occupying the most dangerous post

Capuchin monk.
Hidden in a medieval tower OF
chimney-like proportions, but with
walls six feet thick, part of an ancient
church, this fighting man of God
spends his days, telephone receiver
at his ear, field-glasses to his eyes, in
forming the Belgian artillery whether
their shots are too long, too short, or
just right.
All day long his snaggled tower, ris-
ing from a tiny island not more than
a hundred feet square, is bombarded
and battered by German guns planted
along the User.

F. Only middle age masonry of granite
mixture could Withstand this daily

mark its sides. And when at last II

then she went to the place where a

then she went to the other places

them all with her wand.

she is too uncertain, to unaccount-

ing more irritating.to the average man
than never to be quite certain what
attitude of mind woman is going to
take or what she intends to do.
Although much has been written on
the subject of the evergreen attraction
of uncertainty in women, when one
comes down to hard, common everyday
! facts of life, it is the sensible woman
| who comes out on top every time. The
| attractive woman has been labeled by
the phrase uncertain, coy and hard
to please"-and no greater error Of
| judgment has ever been made than
any such description. For the woman
who is hard to please Is not popular
with men, and never will be, Unless
she cultivates more placid, easy
going and unselfish temperament
AS far as coyness goes, the overcoy
woman is never attractive, either

How to Attain Popularity
Bv FLORENCE E. YODER

be sincere; it is in fact rather hard.
But it is worth while from every point
of view.
The woman whom all men like is
not only natural and free from fool
ish affectation, but at the same time
she is sympathetic. "A heart at lei
sure from itself to soothe and sympa-
thize" brings greater popularity than
anything else in this world ever could.
Popularity takes up so much time,"
complained a business woman the
other day, "for to be really popular
you have to listen to the long-winded
stories and tales and troubles of every
body. really haven't got the time to
be popular nowadays, for business
takes up all my time.
IF you want to be liked by every
body you have to be very polite. You
can't say Please stop telling that
stupid story, I've no time for you
today or you can't cut people short
over the telephone, or you can't break
an engagement or do any of the things
busy woman must do"
1t is quite true that popularity does
take time in the most literal meaning
of the phrase. But all the same, al
though it is harder for the busy WON
an to acquire popularity than the
woman of leisure, she has a wider
sphere for cultivating friendships and
gaining popularity than her stay-at
home sister.
The woman whom men like is no
gossip Men don't care to hear al
the little petty details in which thu
souls of SO many women revel. The!
regard such talk as trivial. And 81
the popular woman is broad in he
interests. In order to be compan
ion to a man she must cultivate a,
interesting and intelligent mind.
y She need not overdo the thing an'

become blue stocking to achieve this
end. But she should try to be an in
teresting conversationalist, and what
is even better, an interested listener.
The woman who talks too much will
never in this life be popular. She will
only succeed in being thorough bore.
For it is impossible that gems of wit
can flow all the time from her act
i've brain-and most of the time she
is talking about matters on which she
had better be silent.
From the point of view of populari-
ty it is better to be good listener
than good talker.
The popular woman never runs
| down" her own sex in the hearing OF
! men. For she realizes that by doing
SO she will only bring upon her own
head the masculine accusation of "cat-
tiness," and be regarded as that most
lamentable of failures, a jealous
woman.
The woman whom all men like need
not necessarily be good-looking, mol
clever, nor accomplished. The main
points to cultivate are sincerity, sim
plicity, sympathy and a pleasant, in
terested manner.
Shyness often leads a woman int
little awkwardnesses and stiffnesses o
manner which lead mankind as to he
disposition. Therefore shyness shout,
be overcome.
!, The woman whom all men like 1
