CHARM.
A young girl asks:
BY DOROTHY DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer

A young girl asks:
How can 1 acquire charm and
become an interesting CONVERSE
tionalist?"
Alas, my child, you are PROFOUND
ing a riddle that no one has ever
yet been wise enough to answer.
No one knows just exactly in what
| charm consists, or what are the
strange, mysterious. and magnetic
qualities that draw all hearts to
some one particular Individual, and
that makes every eye brighten and
every heart leap with joy at his or
her coming.
Some people are born with this
great gift. They are the darlings
of the gods, and the earth is theirs.
and the fullness thereof. Love and
friendship. place and preferment,
Invitations and treats, all the
things that less fortunate people
toll and MOL for, are thrown as a
tribute at their feet. for charm is a
more potent spell to conjure with
| than either beauty or brains.
But let not the girl to whom ma
ture has been a cruel stepmother
who has withheld this magical en-
dowment from her mourn as one
without hope. For while to be a
headliner among charmers one must
have undoubtedly been born a
charmer, still it is possible for any
girl who has intelligence and de-
termination to uuderstudy the
charmer and give such a lifelike
imitation of her that few will ever
know that her fascination is hand
made instead of being the spon-
taneous thing.
So far as charm can be defined, 1t
consists in making other people feel
good. putting them into a pleasant
glow Of satisfaction with themselves
and tks universe. To. do. this, It is

Gas Causes Death
In Georgetown Mine

The presence of deadly gas in
the Capital mine at Georgetown
caused the death of l. Iverson on
the day before Christmas.
Iverson, Harry Gent, and Dick
Allender were engaged in repair
ing an upraise, preparatory to en-
tering one of the levels, when they
were overcome by gas. Gent owes
his life to Allender, who has several
medals for rescue work in coal
mines. Allender placed him in
such a position that he could not
drop down the shaft, while he
tried to get Iverson on the ladder.
Once on the ladder, Iverson be-
came hysterical and refused to
move. In order to secure help,
Allender slid down the air pipe.
When he returned to the bottom
of the raise, the lifeless body of
Iverson was found. The others
have fully recovered from the
effects of the gas.
