Impossible to Keep Them ALI.

| The popular girl of today, in spite
Of the fact that she's achieved what
most of us want-social success with
| boys and girls alone-often stands in
need Of good advice. just as much as
the lonely wallflower. 80
| There's a serious mistake which
| many young bellies are apt to make
| that of trying to capture the hearts
and affections of all men they meet.
The girl who is carried away with
| the sense of her own popularity be-
gins to think Of herself as modern
Cleopatra.
Every new man she meets must be
brought captive to her throne. She
can't bear to see any one escape.
| SO that instead Of letting good
enough alone--enjoying her success In
hair in the wild attempt to get fresh
victims.
She is never content with a boy's
friendship. Anxiously she seeks to
make him fall really hard. so that
she'll have another scalp to add to her
collection.
Having once interested a boy to the
point of making him write rather
sentimental letters and offer the loan
of his fraternity pin. she struggles
desperately not to lose him to any
one else.
You can see the difficulties If a
damsel has persuaded three or four
boys that she's the queen of creation.
each of the young gentlemen will ex-
pect her undivided attention.
In order to insure their peace Of
mind, she must pretend to each one
that he's the only real thrilling inter.
est in her life.
OF course, she has to lie to some one.
She has to pretend constantly. She Is
kept in a furry of nervous agitation,
date with Billy to go out with Keith,
who is really getting sulky because
she has broken so many dates with
him.
Playing fair with no one. she sus-
poets every one-and Is constantly on
the watch lest she lose one of the
precious four SWANS who make up her
following.
How long can she keep it up? De-
ponds on how clever she is. The aver
age girl makes a slip sooner or later
and loses one or perhaps all of the
four when her double dealing, or
rather quadruple dealing, is discovered.
Many a maiden who was a riot two
years ago hasn't man to take her to
the movies now because she was over
greedy in the matter of attentions.
By trying to hold too many at one
time, she let them all run away.
Don't get the collectors urge. Don't
set out to see how many men you can
subjugate.
Too many boys in love with you are
worse than no boys at all. The life Of
a girl who's trying to keep four men
intensely in love with her is a
troubled, nervous existence.
Far wiser to play square and not
pretend to be in love. Collect all the
boy friends you want, but let them
know where they stand. so there won't
be necessary any double dealing or
frantic date -breaking.
Tell them frankly where they get
off and your crowd of admirers will
grow instead Of decrease.
