Is the people that should come to
me, but alas, am forgotten IN this
old garden for the path that once led
to me j. quite overgrown."
DO not he sad, Little Idol, said
the Willow Lady; 'be patient. ! am
sure YOU will find work to do even in
this old garden.
But the Idol could not be comiortcd,
lie sat and wept all the long moon
light night until the magic hour came
10 an end and once more his aims
were folded and rested on his breast.
CUT from a pool close beside LATHE
Idol there hoped a frog the next
morning Just as the sun streamed
through the willow tree.
To the top of the stone hoped the
frog az the very feet OF the Idol and
there il sat where warm sunbeam
fell upon it.
But not long did it rest, for down
the sky like n streak of light came a
Kite. the bird that Is always stealing
anything It can carry. But the frog
had seen It's enemy and hoped for
protection closer to the feet of Little
Idol
The chance had come TO help some
one and Little Idol did not hesitate.
Down from his Lotus scat he tumbled
Just as the bird was about to seize
the poor little frog
stunned with the blow the kite fell
TO the ground. but II quickly recovered
and Oh IL few as swiftly as it came.
But the frog was saved though Little
Idol lay upon the ground.
BY and by through the garden come
an old man lie saw the fallen idol
and gently lifted it and set il on the
Lotus blossom In the niche. Then
with bowed head and hands clasped
hc PRAYED before II.
That night when the Soul OF the
Willow spoke 10 Little Idol he smiled
Il an happy, Oh, Willow Lady" he
SAID. You were right. What i needed
wac 70 be patient and to know that my
work Is 10 give happiness 10 anyone
who comes 70 me FOX help"
And then Little Idol smiled and
there no doubt he sits TO this day in
the old garden in Japan smiling and
happy, knowing that time and place
mean nothing, that only the good We
do counts.

There are times when | think that
what the world needs more than any
thing else is a social Luther Burbank
who can change n wall flower into the
sort of rosebud that man instinc-
lively plucks, and pins on his breast
At any rate, there isn't day in the
year when | don't get from ono to dozen
letters from girls asking how they can
make themselves attractive to men, and
secure the masculine attention that is
necessary to their having a good time.
Il am pretty. dress we'll My mother
entcrtains for me. | cannot sec in what
way | am inferior To the girls that men
flock around, wall these disconsolate
ones, yet no man ever comes 10 our
house unless he is specifically invited
there. When | go TO a party, no man
ever dances with me unlessSny hostess
makes him, and when he does he looks
like lamb being lead to the slaughter.
Why am | what is popularity called a
lemon? And is there any cure for
''lcmon-neSs|
Why some women attract men, while
Others repulsc them is a mystery that
no one has ever been able TO solve. II
isn't the matter of beauty, nor brains,
nor. any of the standardized virtues
that you can put your finger on, and
say, Acquire this or mot that, and
you will appeal to men.
| For we all know living pictures that
are left hanging upon the home walls,
and homelv ladies who have had three
husbands already, and still have wait
ing list. We know vivacious girls who
never have beau, and tongue tied ones
that men swarm around like bees
around a honey pot. We know viragos
whose husbands worship them, and
household angels who are deserted
wives. And so II goes, and the masculine
woman knows which way 20 act her sails
10 catch IT,
For woman TO be really attractive
TO men-to be the kind of girl that
men run after-she has 10 be born that
way. Nature must have endowed her
with the comc-bither look in her eye TO
which every son of Adam instinctively
responds, but even when this has been
denied maiden, there are number
OF things which she can do TO camou-
fage her lack of attractions for the oppo-
site sex, and to prevent herself from hay
ing TO Sit among the chaperones al
parties and acquire face ache trying
TO look as il she liked it.
There is one thing about men for
which women have to be grateful 70 n
merciful providence, and that is that
that they are not analytical about
women. Their attitude is the Doctor
Fell one. They either Ike you or they
don't like YOU, but the reason why they
cannotltell, and they never seek TO find
out. That is why girl who lacks real
attraction for men can put over a side
line of make believe attraction if she
is clever and energetic enough to do it.
So my advice to any girl who wants to
move herself out of the wall flower
class is, first, to learn how to doll her
self up. When our first mother was
turned out of Eden, God gave her 9
dress as consolation prize, and it still

hard on the eyes, or lack the means to
attract the masculine gaze,
Only the trained eye of the ARTIST

who is beautifully dressed, and one who
is beautiful herself, nor can many men
distinguish between hand made COM

can soon get the reputation OF being a
good locker, of the sort that man is
proud to be seen about with, If she will

My second piece of advice TO the wall
iloweris to learn how to dance superla-
lively well. These are the days when 1t Is
better to have nimble heels than TO have

The third piece of advice that
would give the wallhowcr is TO acquire

of-all-trades so that YOU can fill II
wherever you happen to be. Learn how
TO play gCol game OF golf and gooC
game of bridge Learn enough music tC
be able to play accomplishments fol
people who think they know how to sing

The girl who can help other people to {
good time is always IN demand, ant
always popular.
| My fourth piece of advice to the wall
flower is TO cultivate good nature. BE g
good sport. Be easy TO get along with
BE jolly and cheerful.
A man has to be actually in love Will
a woman before he is willing to take tn
trouble to entertain her, and he fight
shy of the girl who expects him to max
the conversational running, but he like
the society of the girl who will entertain
him. All men are Grand Pashas a
heart, and want women to dance befor
them, and divert them with Scheher
azade stories.
And my fifth piece of advice to tn
wall flower Is, never let man ind on
that you are a wall flower. The onl
rose that man ever wants Is the on
that he thinks all the other men ar
breaking their necks to pluck.

periences Of two boys in the semi
lawless cattle country. The story is
fairly well told and. be it added, law
and order win out in the end.
Those N a mechanical bent (which
includes nine out Of ten. boys) will
find in Ted and the Telephone" a
story that win interest them. Here
too the capital-labor question plays
a minor part, bat the treatment of it
is not unfair.
''Blacky the Crow" win appeal to
those who know Thornton w. Bur
gess's stories Of animals. 1t is in
the best Juvenile style and the illus
trations by Harrison Cady are excel
lent.

Three Golden Hairs" is one of two
fascinating plays for children,
adapted from Grimm's Fairy Tales.
The quest of the boy who goes after
the three golden hairs Of the giant is
effectively presented, and should
serve to give to children a taste for
dramatic literature.
"The Wild Heart" is a book for
very young children. in which ami
mails troop forth each with a char
acteristic individuality; pictures by
Paul Branson. In THE Little People
of the Garden" the bee, the ant, the
frog. the earthworm, the spider are
personified; illustrations are by L.
]. Bridgman. Little Folks Book of
Nature is also elementary, with
paragraphs descriptive of domestic
and wild animals; there are colored
plates.
