But | do not like thee. DR.. Fol-.


The why of our likes and dislikes
of persons is an important inquiry,
because so much in life depends upon
it. What draws you toward those
who become your intimate friends?
Naturally, first is appearance. This
is what Nature has done for you--
your figure, your coloring, your com
plexion, your facial features. The Sec
ond is expression, and this is of sew
eral orders. There is the care YOU
take Of your person, tidiness OF teeth
and nails and hair and skin and show
ing of health, which maintains the
lucrative business of the beauty par
lors. The second and central order of
expression Is your polse. your car
riage, your walk and gestures, your
vigor and vivacity, your smiles, laugh
ter, frowns, embarrassment. showing
of interest, your manner and manners.
This Is the care of your you" ex-
preston and includes the appeal to
the ear in voice, tone, meditation.
Some persons are attractive until
they speak; others more so in anima
ton. The third order Of expression
is what you wear and how you wear
it-your neatness. your good taste.
what becomes you and what you want
others to think of you. 1t takes time
to make yourself up for the day.
There is finally your intelligence. not
so easily made up. 1t appears in what
you say and do. This goes deeper
than manner. reveals your education.
your tastes of mind. your emotional
as we'll as your intellectual self.
There is much difference of opinion
as to how these orders of attractive
ness combine and what their value is
in making friends; whether you ex,
pect beautiful persons to be inteli-
gent or stupid, how much beauty con-
sists in feature or in expression. All
this counts heavily in human rela-
tiOns-so much so that one writer
suggests that we reduce school studies
for girls and concentrate on charm,
which sums it all up.
Here is a short result of long in
qury in this intimate yet unexplored
territory. A group of persons were
asked to consider the 10 men and the
10 women for whom they had the
greatest liking, and to check off in
order of influence the qualities most
in evidence in these admired friends.

child who is filled with bewildeling
wonder and an overwhelming desire to
know.
The two ways that parents can use
to avoid arousing curiosity is either
to talk openly about the matter, IL 1t

to refrain from mentioning the sub
iect when the child is around.
have seen parents stumble and try to
turn a conversation in other chan
nels when they discover that child

riosity is already piqued If he is con-
fidential with his parents, he will be
sure to ask one of them about 1t later
on. II he is not. he will try in some
other way to find out.
There are many subjects that are
piquing to the child's mind which will
do him no harm to hear talked over.
Such things relate to home affairs
that are of confidential nature. If
they are talked over freely before chill.
dren, the little folk must be made to
understand that they are let into this
family conversation because the par
ents appreciate that they can be trust
ed not to speak of the matters out
side. sense of responsibility and
loyalty is engendered in children SO
trusted surprisingly lacking in those
before whom secrecy Is observed.
When a child is found to lack the
loyalty to guard these home conf.
dences, then secrecy has to be the
rule. But it is a wise parent who
first finds out how the child happened
to speak of the matter before con-
demning. 1t sometimes happens that
a prying person has put the child in
such a corner by questioning that he
gave the information without really
intending to divulge it. Sometimes he
is unaware that he did. Then the
child can be given word of warning
not to talk about anything pertaining
to home affairs with such a person.
If the child has really known that
he should not speak Of subjects talked
over before him. and vet has done so.
6isobedience Is recognized. Parents
should try to further cultivate sense
of loyalty in him. or else thereafter
guard their own words and keep their
own cOunsels.

YOUR MIND

In so involved a matter one can't sex

The deeper qualities of expression
of personality have done most to make
friends: Pleasing manner, afectiotlate
disposition, sincerity. social grace,
strong individuality, constancy. Mhile
physical beauty also stands in this, IA
vored group of traits. The least mag
netic in drawing friends is mere
beauty Of face or form. and especially
eTectlve dress. unsupported by other
charms. In between. along a variable
scale. are the more intellectual and
related qualities-hrains. cevcrne ss,
energy, good nature. voice and re-
hnement.
Interfering with any more definite
result is the disturbing matter of sex
appeal. While women are freer in
giving the highest ratings of attrac-
tlon to men, they are fairly generous
In including women. Men cannot find
anybody really attractive except
women. Beauty is too dazzling. Yet
the women who appeal to men appeal
to women also in large. number. and
persons who are attractive know how
to make themselves more so nv dress
and social craces; perhaps by the same
strengthening of what they already
possess. by which the naturally strong

But beauty alone and fine clothes

which brings to the surface what lies
