- to get along with other peo-
pie successfully? Just how far will her
personality take her? JOY.
Answer.-Personality will take you
farther than any other thing in the
world, my dear It is the real gift of
the gods. 1t is the magic card Of
admission to wherever you want to 60.
that opens shut doors to you, that
assures you Of q welcome, that makes
friends for you, that pushes your for
tune.
Girls always think that the best luck
they can have is good looks. and they
spend their time and effort in trying
to improve their personal appearance;
but in reality personality Is twice as
good bet as beauty is, and If they
would make half as much effort to
develop individuality and charm as
they do to putting finger wave in
their hair, they would get far better
results.
Now, Of course, in its higher brack-
cts personality is something that comes
by nature. 1t is made up in part of
what we call personal magnetism, that
undefinable quality that attracts us
to people and that makes them seem
different and interesting. Lucky are
those who possess this priceless attri-
butte, but even if we are not SO fortu-
nate as to be so endowed. we can
cultivate very good quality Of syn
thetic personality If we are willing to
take the trouble, and If we are wise
enough to begin to do so when we are
young.
THE first bit of advice that would
give to you then is to be yourself
The temptation to all young girls Is to
copycat some other girl who is popu-
lar. They ape her methods and
tricks. They see girl who is loud
and blatant but who has dates to burn,
so they begin screaming at the top Of
their voices. though they be of the
shy. demure, quiet type. Or they see
a tiny girl who curls up like kitten
on sofa and looks cute. and forth
with they begin sitting on their feet
and acting cunning. though they are
big girls who look like performing ele-
plants when they try 1t.
Don't make this mistake Stick to
your own type and develop that. No
imitation is as good as the real thing
All of us, and especially men, are at
tracted by sincerity So make the most
Of what you are yourself and don't
pattern yourself after any one else.
Then cultivate good manners, which
are rare enough in these days to be q
novelty. Be courteous and consider
ate. Answer letters Write notes Of
thanks. Show appreciation of atten-
tions that people have shown you. Go
out of your way to try to make your
self agreeable to all you meet. That
will be bread cast upon the waters that
will come back to you in angels food,
and you will soon get reputation OF
being that mice little Jones girl" to
whom everybody wants to give a
hand up.
Learn how to make the most Of
whatever looks the Lord gave you No
girl need be as ugly as Nature made
her in these days of plastic surgeons
and beauty shops and stylists. If you
have bad teeth. get them Strengthened.
II you have an ugly nose, have 1t
shaped to your hearts desire Don't
buy hat or gown just because 1t is
the newest thing. Get some one who
has made a profession Of clothes to
tell you what to wear 50 as to bring
out your best points, and how to dc
your hair.
Take up the study Of sports in seri-
Gus way. Learn how to play a good
game of bridge and to be fine dancer
They are two accomplishments that
are just as necessary to girl now as
it Is to know how to read. You will
never sit in dark corner sucking
your thumb if you can float over a
ballroom floor like thistledown or your
contract is beyond criticism The more
things you know how to do well, the
