How can I be more popular with
the boys?"
When a growing girl knows that
she is not the exception she will
brood less. be less apprehensive
about her future good times and
as result, will develop per-
sonality that is not defensively
fearful.
A mother can show her 16-year-
old daughter, that to keep up a
reputation for being popular, a
girl has 10 give up many outside
Interests. She will point out that
the girl who is unusually well liked
by Elen has to work at her game
of popularity while her less gay
sisters have time for something
else besides men. And she can cap
her argument by pointing out the
many plain and quiet girls who
are married to outstanding men.
while the girls who were con-
stantly in demand. are either in
or out Of divorce courts or mar
ried to very ordinary men. indeed
A mother can be careful about
what she says TO the sensitive
daughter. She doesn't show good
judgment when she talks about the
popularity Of other girls and
sympathizes with her daughter as
she criticizes the happy girls OF
other mothers. She should not ap-
pear too eager or interested in
finding out whether or not her
child had a good time the night
before. What a mother leaves un-
said Is often the wise omission.
The reason a girls popularity
In overstressed lies not so much
in her own concern as IL does her
mothers pride. Most mothers are
too eager TO be able to brsg to
their friends and neighbors about
the places Betty goes to and the
invitations she has to turn down
because she can't accept all of
them.
II a mother Is smart about this
business she isn't likely
to have a girl grow up and be-
come a lonesome, old maid.
Worried
Dear Miss Grey: went out
with a boy recently but had a mis-
understanding with him and came
home with another boy. My first

or course he did an ungentle-
manly thing by refusing to take
