Being natural is one of the
greatest ''poses" to gain
friends and hold them.
A lot Of trouble among young
folk is caused by one or the other
of them being anything else but
natural
The girl believes she must affect
a different line of thought and &C
ton from her everyday behavior in
order to charm her sweetheart.
Perhaps she is just a sweet, home
loving girl, but once she gets in the
company of a fellow she immedi-
ately feels wild and modernistic.
1t is womanS duty to be charm
ing. She knows that, but believes
that by being different she is
charming. She charms herself, but
does she charm the man?
Illusions Shattered
The affectation can be carried on
for a short time; the man becomes
accustomed to that side of the girls
character; then the naturalness
breaks through the pose, and the
man is disillusioned.
He thought he was getting one
kind of a girl, and he finds he is
getting another kind altogether.
All of us have latent charm, sides

come to the surface yet.
just be natural and these qualities
will come to the surface. We can
make many more friends that way.
When we start assuming differ
ent attitude with our sweethearts,
we are fooling them and ourselves.
How Harm Comes
Suppose you like to run around
and dance. Then you meet fell
low who wants to establish home.
You fall in love with this fellow
and make him believe that you, too,
are a home loving girl,
You marry the man, but you
can't keep the pose all the rest OF
your life. The fact that you do like
to dance crops out eventually, and
the man is disillusioned and hurt.
He thought he was marrying a
different kind of a girl. That will
cause trouble.
This is just an example of what
can happen by not Being natural.
There are hundreds Of others you
