Mrs. Wilson WOodrow'S Article
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW,
The world famous writer on vital subjects.

Some people have a forbidding ex-
preston and a chilling manner 1t Is
usually taken for granted that they
are disagreeable and stand-offish,
whereas in nine cases out of ten they
are merely painfully shy.
| have learned from experience that
about one letter in every 10 / receive
Is from a shy girl, describing her heart
burnings and her inability to overcome
this affliction,
| have been studying one today. 1t is
from a girl who signs herself 'Unhap-
py,' and r%ecites the way in which her
apparently incurable diffidence has af-
fected her life. She says:
MY mother died when l was very
young. My father remarked and l
went to live with an aunt, She was
very poor and had a large family, Of
which | was the eldest. | cared for the
younger children n studied when I
had the chance; but l never played, new
er put on a pretty dress, never had
anything 70 do with other children. Still
| always chung to the belief that I was
going 10 be happy when l grew up.
God surely would make UP to me for
my miserable, lonely days.
EARLY In my teens l. went to work,
and studied in a business school in
the evenings; afterward secured a po-
sition in an office. There | found to
my bOTTOw lldL L WAS GeTFlDlys inherent
from the other girls. They thought
me so queer. | could not laugh as they
did. | was so awkward and so shy
that ] could not speak to anyone and
feel at ease. They were all so far SUI
perior to me, l didn't dress well; |
couldn't do my hair up right: ] was
odd. | finally decided that ! was lack
ing somewhere, and tried to be like
the others. But, try as hard as | could,
| was still my old self. Girls laughed
at me, and didn't become at all friend
" with me. As for the boys, some
laughed and some took an interest in
me; but ! was shy with them, too.
Then my aunt, who had come to be
in better circumstances, began to nag
at me to get married. Finally I met a
young man and we fell very much in
love with each other. Well, ! thought
that now my dream nad come true,
Surely | was going to be happy. So I
was for a very short time; then he
broke our engagement and left me for
another girl. Now, that this has hap
pened, everything is over for me, l
am friendless and my heart is broken,
| am not happy and never will be.
Therefore, | cannot make anyone else
happy; so | think the best thing for
me to do is to lie down quietly and
die, am twenty and feel as II | was
sixty
My dear girl, it is not so easy to lie
down quietly and die, To depart from
this world at will requires considerable
preparation, and is, even il carried
through successfully, a disagreeable,
painful, messy performance with a good
deal Of unpleasant notoriety attached
to it, And why write yourself down in
the book OF fate as a gutter who
hadn't enough of the sporting spirit to
play the game out?
Dismiss that morbid thought and let
me suggest a far more interesting ex-
periment-the reconstruction of YOUR
self, You really are not giving your
self a square deal.
