not the bride is known to the
sender.

TO WIN POPULARITY
The Famous Writer Tells Girls Not to

to Win Friends.
to Win Friends.

Of winning a patronizing smile.
And what reward has she for her
anxiety and trouble? She gets
imposed on and laughed at.
What is true In the little world
Of school is equally true outside
college walls.
Frank took q fancy to Bess and
asked to call. He invited her to
the theater and came to see her
twice, then stopped. Bess, eager
to possess Frank for her steady
was frantic. She must win Frank
back again.
So she phoned repeatedly beg
ging him to call. Frank, rather
bored but slightly flattered, at
last came to see Bess again after
breaking several appointments
with her.
Bess assured Frank that she
was crazy about him and that he
broke her heart when he stayed
away. But the more emotional
Bess grew the more Indifferent
was Frank. Needless to say he
didn't call again. He even stopped
speaking to Bess. Finally when
she continued sending him frantic
notes he began an obvious flirta-
ton with another girl so that Bess
might might know beyond all
doubt that he was through"
Bess killed every bit Of Franks
friendly interest in her by humb-
ling herself to tease him for a
closer friendship than he cared
to offer. She made a doormat Of
herself.
To be affectionate and kind is
charming and helps win deserved
popularity. But even at the cost
OF popularity maintain your self.

It's folly to run after people.
It's folly to carry your good
humor SO far that you are inn

The girl who has faith in her
self dares to be herself. She
doesn't cringe or flatter. She IL
good-humored and kind, but she
is also true to her principles and
dares If need be to stand alone.
Such a girl always wins friends
and usually she's a leader.
A man prefers to choose his
own friends-he insists on choos.

instinct is part of the mascutine

TO THE
LOVELORN
Proving His LoOe
By Beatrice Fairfax-

ErOVang MS LOOe
~ EAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
A year ago I met a
- girl in our neighborhood
and grew to love her. And she
told me she loved me. Before,
very long her family moved
away and she went with them.
We wrote letters to each other
for a while. Then, about a
month ago, she asked me not to
!, write any. more to her about
love. She said /. might write
her just friendly letters. I.
asked her whether there was
another man, but she said she
didn't love any one.
Shall / drop her acquaintance
or shall 1 write her Just as a
friend? / love her very much.
Her mother and father approve
of me. Please tell me how I
can win back her love. A. d.
Why not write the young
woman just what you feel? If
you love her and are in a posi-
ton to make a home for her, ask
her to be your wife. Ask whether
she does not feel that in time
she can learn to love YOU.
She may have the idea that
you are, writing serious things
to her without a serious Thought
in your heart. Il. can do no harm
to let her know how you really
feel about her. Then. at least,
she will be convinced that you
are sincere.
