tonight she might be tempted to do as

Wrapped in Il fur cloak, she slipped

-Arousinr Anger. Not Interest.

! Very often we see a girl who in her
effort to arouse interest and auinlra-
| ton in the men she knows adopts
some little method which has just the
opposite effect.
| vivian is an example. She has a
fairly good time, but she isn't exactiy
| popular. The boys are inclined 10
| ignore her when there are more
shining stars around. Ana VIVIAN
! side-keep them all keyed up ana en-
thusiastic about her.
| She's read somewhere that men like
girls who pique their curiosity-who
are not too open and aboVeboard-
whose characters cannot be read at a
glance And this she takes to mean
that she ought to wrap herself in a
shroud Of mystery. So that when
some youth inquiries casually: What
have you been doing with yourself
lately?" she answers him evasively,
| looks rather mysterious, murmurS:
"Oh, so many things I can't possibly
tell you about" At which he prob
ably says to himself, well, who cares,
anyway" and forgets it.
| Vivian, however, thinks she has
made a dent. So a little later. while
she's engaged in telling him a story,
she interrupts herself to say: "Oh,
but I forgot. I mustn't tell you that.
You'd never believe me, anyway
| There are so many things about me
you don't understand"
Well, If there's one thing in the
| world more annoying than others it's
having story broken off in the middle
with the tantalizing little speech: Il
can't tell you any more" It's enough
to annoy anybody. 1t seldom fails to
annoy a young boy.
Her other great trick is often more
unpleasant. When a group of four
or five are gathered together she sud
IDENTIFY remarks to one of the girls
present: "Oh my dear, do you remem-
Der the other night? VIII you ever
| forget what Tommy said to me?
| Wasn't he q scream?'
This leaves everybody else out of
the picture. They can only stand
there and look foolish while Vivian
giggles and assures them that she
would love to tell them but she can't
possibly. She promised not to.
The other girl is probably bored and
annoyed, too, but she's too polite to
be openly rude to friend Vivian.
Vivian's fault isn't serious. But 1t
makes her an uncomfortable person
| 70 be with.
You don't feel at ease with some
one who suddenly goes into fits of
laughter over something she can't
possibly tell you.
She makes her companion uneasy,
resentful. He suspects her of laugh
ing at him.
Her constant illusions to mysteri-
Gus events, of which he knows nothing,
make him feel an outsider.
One of the first principles of in
teresting a man is to make him feel
at ease-cOmfortable of some impor-
lance. If you destroy that feeling, no
matter how mysterious you make
yourself, you'll lose the man.
He won't stay long with anybody
who makes him feel awkward and un-
comfortable.
