DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE WALL FLOWER.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer

get a great many letters from girls
who tell me that they are just as good
looking and attractive as other girls,
but that for some reason that they
can not comprehend they do not at
tract men. They never have a beau.
When they go to parties they ornament
the walls, They buy their W theater
tickets, and treat themselves to sodas,
and have none of the good times that
their more fortunate sisters have.
And these girls want to know why
this is thus, n how they may acquire
the arts Of the man-catcher,
Alas, they ask the conundrum that
women have been trying to solve from
Mother Eve down, and whose answer
none has guessed, Doubtless the riddle
that the Sphynx is bordering over on
her desert sands, Is why men flock
around ONE women like bees around
a honey pot while other women, bet
ter looking, more intelligent, more in
teresting, better placed socially, with
more brains and more heart, never at
tract a single man within telephoning
distance.
Nobody can explain this any more
than they can why the type of women
that other women admire makes no hit
with men, while the women that men
go crazy over generally seem to othep
women TO be sorry specimens Of theft
sex.
Nor is there any definite line OF
charms that fires the masculine fancy
The girl with no particular pretensions
to beauty IL often a belle, while some
living picture in her vicinity Is totally
neglected, Sometimes it's the jolly
girl whom the boys rush, and some
times it's the prim little Puritan. Now
It's the athletic maiden who has mon
breaking their necks TO play golf with
and go on hikes with, and now It's the
fluffy ruffles In high-heeled shoes whose
most strenuous physical exercise con-
sists In lolling In the corner Of a lin
CUISINE. Sometimes It's the common
sense girl who has to keen a waiting
list Of her aderers, and again it's tho
baby talk before whom suitors stand
In rows.
All Of which indicates that what at
tracts men Is something that no woman
car find out, 1t Is some mysterious
quality or personal magnetism that a
girl Is born with, or born without, It
Is the come hither" look In the eye
that nature gives or withholds from
a maiden, and according as she has

or flee from her.

There Is ~camouflage, and as one OF the
characters In a recent play says, I'VE

Therefore, TO the girl who isn't popu-
lar with men, and who desires to be,
would recommend three things, First,
to sit down and cold ~.bloodedly take
stock OF herself, no matter how much
