Flattery That Falls Flat.

VirZis took a long breath and steeled
herself for the approaching ordeal,
She was at one of the first dances of
her life. and she meant to make hit.
She knew how to do it all right.
Every one had told her that the most
important thing to remember was that
the men must BE- flattered and she was
going to hand them soft soap though
1t killed her.
Shed listened carefully to Estelle and
she saw how that young lady did 1t.
Estelle's line was marvellous: "Oh. my
dear, do YOU know think you're actual
ly the most marvellous dancer in the
world? All evening I've wanted to
telling you this, do you? I've been
just dying to, for such long time"
Estelle was wonderful. Virgie sighed.
She couldn't ever do 1t. Every bit
Of her turned against this brazen open
f1attery of beings whom she didn't in
the least admire or worship.
She liked boys mildly. She wanted
to have good time. But she couldn't
60 through with this nauseating busi-
ness Of drumming into their conscious
ness hew wonderful she thought they
were,
Poor little virgie needn't have looked
so blue and discouraged standing there,
in the doorway. Neither need she have
envied Estelle to distraction.
Estelle without her gold and white
beauty, her slim beautiful figure, and
her exquisite grace would have been
on the shelf long ago. not IN spite OF
her line, but because of 1t.
Nobody in the world could listen to
conversation such as that supplied by
Estelle without growing red to the very
tips of his ears--red with embarrass-
ment and a sneaking feeling that he
was being made fun Of.
Why. the modern boys don't flatter
themselves that these bright-eyed girls
who darce with them, are bowled over
| by their good looks and manly charm.
Neither do they believe the sweet as
surances of their partners that they're
the most perfect dancers In captivity.
TO the average buy, the average line
listens all right
| But Estelle's type of line is a bit too
much for any average boy. He is dis
lconcerted and annoyed at her open at
tack. He Is at a loss for an answer
and 90 feels awkward. He admires Es-
telle's beauty. but wishes TO goodness
she could learn To keep her mouth

Believe me, the open wild-eyed fiat

It CRATES against their sensibilities
l just as much as 1t CRATES against YER
gie's sensitive nerves.
II Is perfectly true that 1t Is always
well to make a man feel himself I'm
portant and well liked
But 1t Is equally true that it is fatal
10 make him feel uncomfortable and
awkward
Open fiattery does make him feel
ncomfortable-puts him cut Of step
with you. causes him to run away when
the dance Is over, no matter how pretty
you are.
Never mind about the open aattery
attack, Vlrgie. There are more ways
Of fiattering man than by telling him
that his eyes are the most beautiful
shade OF blue you've ever seen in your
life--and once you've learned them,
you'll never lack for partners.
