70 Be Popular One Must
Be Charming in Eyes Of
Men, Women and Children

Probably you are popular and prob
IDLY you aren't, but willing to be.
The charming person. like the poet,
s seldom made, but usually born.
However, popularity is not so de-
pendent upon birth. It can be at
aimed.
1t has been said that charm Is the

The popular girl as a rule is neither
charming nor beautiful. Yet she IS
the delightful person who is wanted"
at every party. She is not only popu-
lar with men and girls, but also older
folk, and wee folk consider her just
about right.
The secret Of the whole matter Is
one which involves the passing OF sew
eral years. 1t did not all happen over
night. In fact, most Of the popular
girls had their popularity start In their
early grade days In school.
Tt Is not only because she Is unset
fish. She is far from being q doormat.
She can play the piano, perhaps, play
tennis well, converse Interestingly, and
is CHEEKY, self-reliant, good natured
and happy.
But that is not all. Those are
merely surface qualities. The things
you don't see I'm her are the things
which you trust and trust absolutely
You know she won't talk about you
behind your back, you know she
wouldn't do anything undetermined or
mean, and, last of all, she is popular
because she is a true SPORT

Marcel of the Turf

This summer is remarkable in the
annals of sport in that it has pro-
duced two living creatures whose per-
formances in their respective fields
have been so extraordinary that scar

DRY dares pretend to recall their sup
errors or even their peers. The more
impressive of the pair, with all proper
respect for Mr.. Ruth, is Man o. War
Every decade of the American turf
has had its horse of the century"
In turn the followers of the thorough
bred have placed on the throne a
Hindoo or Hanover, a Salvador or a
Henry of Navarro, a Hamburg, or an
Ethelbert, a Sysonby, or Colin. Most
of these horses were really great,
and they still will be admired; but
the performances of the finest three
year-old of today have been so magni-
ficent that the ancients hesitate to
suggest that Man O. War could not
have beaten Colin.
Time measures the speed of a horse,
but not always his racing qualities;
yet when Man O War, under stake
weight and without pace, whip or
spur, runs a mile and half faster
than ever horse ran that distance be-
fore, and then goes on to run the thir-
teenth and last furlong of the Law
