Advice to the LOvelOln
Unpopular Girls.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
'EAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAh MISS FAlRFAA:
We are considered nieS-look-
ing girls. are well dressed and
come from two Of the best fam
lies In this city. However. do
not think US eonceitsd. as we are
only stating what other people
have said. We are very popular
among the girls. and although
we have met many boys and have
entertained them In our homes
they do not seem to appreciate
our kindness. and whenever there
Is an AFFAIR IN town we are never
invited.
We are both eighteen and are
extremely discouraged about this
condition OF AFFAIRS.
Can you please advise US how
to keep mems friendship after We
have acquired Il? TWO GIRLS.
THERE are two possibilities. either
one of which may keep the
boys from liking you. One is that
you may be too desperately anxious
to please; the other that you are .
little inclined TO conceit. to seIf-ap-
probation and to boring your call
ers by exploiting yourselves. Don't
run after the boys. and don't let
them feel that you are seIf-cen-
tered. Don't be desperately CRATE
full for a little attention. and don't
be eoldly Indifferent. Try the same
pleasant. diEnihed friendliness
which wins your girl friends
