GIRLS WHO WANT TO KNOW
HOWTHEY CANMAKE FRIENDS
Viii Find 1t Much Easier if They Start by Being Friendly
Themselves Instead Of Trying Wake Frennes in Others

I ONESOMD girls 80 often write TO
Line and ask how they can make
friends. II am 30 lonely" they say,
unhappily, "but somehow I can't seem
to make people like me" I wish they
could all know Miss Henderson, and
learn her method or recipe for making
friends. Miss Henderson is the girl in
your office or your neighborhood who
is not pretty or striking, or we'll
dressed, or remarkable in any way.
But everybody knows her. You may
not know just exactly what she does
or where she lives or what her name is,
but you know her. She is the girl who
goes into neighborhood or an Office
or party and Immediately, without
half trying, creates a large circle of
friends.
The secret of her popularity lies In
that little phrase, without half try
ing For there is nothing obvious
about Miss Henderson's method. She
doesn't go through life with an inane
smile on her lips. She doesn't start
out in the morning with the thought,
Now, am going to make some friends
today" and then spend the day smiling
until her jaws ache, treating until her
pocketbook gives out, and advertising
for friends until they all turn from her
in disgust.
People like her because she likes
them first, not because she tries to
make them like her. She is SO busy
enjoying them that she hasn't time tc
bother about whether they like her or

have studied the characters of the wom-
en- and men of the ancient times and
Of the modern.
The majority Of the young men and
young women of today seek pleasure
only. The impression I felt du ing my
first walk in New York, on the day
of my arrival, was of stupor, admira-
ton, but at the same time almost dis
gust in seeing SO many painted dolls.
Other strangers will receive the same
impression and America will be thought
of as a frivolous country. By painted
dolls mean those too colored faces we
see so often. Why should this won
derful country of yours be thought Of
as q nation where women have no self
respect? Why not try to correct and
stop the degrading Of the American
character? ! love America and l am
sorry that some day ! must leave this
great nation and wander to another
country and study the people that live
there.
Science calls me, for in it is all my
joy and comfort. I gave my country
almost all and regret that l was
not able to give her all. Sweet and

Adventures

not. It wouldn't bother her anyhow,
because she has 80 many friends that
she does not have TO make new ones.
And yet she does make new ones all the
time.
It's just this way: Miss Henderson's
nature is one of those widespread,
sunny, cordial affairs that spread
friendship around just az a sunbeam
radiates warmth. This kind of ma
ture does not thrust itself upon any
one. It simply uses the trade mark Of
cordial smile and friendly pereon~
ality and allows other people to seek
it out, just as they seek out sun
beam on a cold day.
IT'S not what you do that gains friends
l. for you. It's what you think. II
your attitude toward another girl is
"Oh, wish she would like me" you
are likely to advertise your feelings and
become annoying in your attempts to
attract her friendship. On the other
hand, if you think, my, like her,"
your friend'iness will stretch out 10
meet her. There are few people in this
world who will not realize that feeling
of admiration and, meeting it halfway,
will grasp it in the middle, like rope,
and give back the other end, making 1t
doubly strong. SO if you want to make
friends just be friendly. lonely girls,
and somebody who recognizes that
trade mark will see It in you and want
to share that friendship with you.
