|CEVX THY don't people like me2
NJ see girls not half as pretty
as am going TO theaters
| and dances with boys know but who
never invite me out When 60 10
parties, nobody ever asks 20 bring me
home I have no girl chums and
sometimes 7 think that II I didn't
keep going ts zee them and telephon-
. ing them. the girls know would Just
/ drop me.
I'm good looking and quite tai
ented. 7 play and sing and compose
verses. I am more interesting than
the average girl and so sometimes I
/ imagine they are jealous OF me, and
keep away from me so they won't
have 70 invite me 70 their parties and
/ lose their boy friends 10 me.
/ when I 90 out on the streets.
| strange men look at me with great
admiration and once or twice I have
yielded TO the temptation 20 speak TO
I them, but nothing comes OF that, Tor
I though they are very respectful and

I In fact even il I have friends. I don't
attractive girls than I am are popular
and have splendid times. There seems
TO be a conspiracy against me and ]
get quite Disguised with people for
their jealous. selfish, unkind ways.
Can you tell me how I can make the
people ! meet treat me better?' writes
Gloria.
Yes-right off the reel, I don't
give snap judgments or try 10 be
clever at the expense Of my cores
pondents. But IN Gloria's case there
Is an irresistible temptation 20 dis
miss the whole subject with a wave OF
the hand and a simple adjuratiOn-
Make other people treat you better
by not treating yourself quite so
WELT But the Gloriss of the world

that So let US illuminate our text a
bit
The girl who wonders resentfuTy
why people don't like her, doesn't
dream that the real reason IS likely
TO lie in the fact that she likes her
self so very well, There isn't any ne
cessity for other people to add to the
amount Of affection that shall be be-
slowed on her since she bowers her
self so completely.
The Probable Faults.
These are likely to be the faults
OF the type OF girl who writes me;
a tendency 10 talk too much about
that IS boresome. An inclination 20
feel superior and as II liking were
hers by right and not 4 thing which I
has TO be earned-that is actually an
noying. a fashion of relating long
anecdotes OF which she herself is the
charming heroine-that, forsooth, is I
wearving, aggravatins and actually f.
painful
The GIorias OF this world fail ut T
terly IN tact-they never get outside +
Of themselves 10 study the effect they .
have on other people. They never .
try TO figure out the cause OF that ef-

q selfish, self centered, Jealous place .
where real charm fails OF apprecia-
tion and character does not win its
just deserts.
VIII you mOnopOlize the CONVERSE
ton or try 70 direct il into channels
OF which you know nothing? Then
at once you are a bore VIII you
want TO be a social leader when the
people around you have no desire 20
be led2 DO you Insist on playing your
ute little tricks or having your fellow
guests pay tribute to your success
nd charm and cleverness? Then in
Iced you are q bore
Suppose everybody IN 4 certain
