Adap+abi|ity Greatest
Popularity Asset
BY DONNA GRACE

VACATION DAYS bring their
beauty problems but a large
portion Of the mail has to do
with something a bit more per-
sonal. 1t is the desire to charm
and be popular. Many Of these
letters come from girls OF the
teen age, the romantic age
when every acquaintance and
associate is a new thrill.
Most young girls are popular
and welcomed everywhere. The
reason for this is they add to
the life and JOY Of every party
They are vivacious and eager 70
experience the novelty Of grown
up social life. This youthful en-
thusiaSm makes them delightful
companions.

Don'ts
Don't Criticize

Young men dislike TO hear
any girl criticize or ridicule
others. To be on the safe side,
leave personalities out of your
conversations. There are lots of
little happenings that make UP
small talk. then there are the
movie stars, your school, and
especially his interests.
Ask him about them Boys
are never boring when they talk
about the things they like. and
We can assure you they like the
girls who give them an oppor-
tunity to do this.

Smile

Have beautiful teeth. Keep
them well brushed and use a
mouthwash. then you can smile
and laugh as much as you like.
A beautiful mouth can be so
irresistible whether in the full
sunlight or under the soft, yell
low moon.
Flowers are feminine. They
appeal TO the masculine fancy,
so be sure TO have one or sew

around.

entirely adequate for normal
purposes although perhaps more
intense illumination. may be
needed for elderly people whose
vision has been uncorrected by
lenses. Il is not necessary when
suitable glasses are worn.
The fact is, every man can
Judge very easily the amount Of
illumination that gives him
comfortable sight. There is no
more reason why he should
have a light meter in his homee
than why nc should have a
thermometer for measuring the
temperature of his food or

CUPID'S ENIISSARY

In dozens of Broadway love
affairs, Katie had served as
cupid's emiSSary.
Her challenge to heart-torn
victims had by now boiled
down to a simple formula.
DO you love the or
as it might be. the girl.
Then stop shilly-shallying.'
Yes, it was as easy as that,
10 Cupid's Colyumnist. But
here she was herself, on a fine
Spring morning in New York.
IN a bad state of shilly-shally-
ing.
II seemed like a dream. she
told herself as she went about
her days bedmaking at the
San Pedro. She was close TO
half a century old, and she
was still single.
There wasn't a white. hair
yet in her chestnut head, her
skin was still fresh, and as to
looks, she fattered herself she
could pass in a crowd.
But she'd the plumpness of
the prime of life, and knew
she looked every Gay of her
age.
I'm fat and 50, and no
getting round it," she told
herself as she passed a full
length mirror. Some of the
actresses on her floor, were as
old as herself and could still
pass for under 40.
But the poor half-starved
things" she conSoled herself,
ION diets and made up within
an inch of their lives-Td

IN SAME PARISH
The last thing in the world
Katie had expected in her
own pleasant afternoon of life
was romance. Shed enough
of cupid's chores to handle for
others.
Several of her favorite
guests were now in a fever of
Shllly-shallying. Them along
came Big Bart O'Toole.
Now the kilfeather girls
had known Big Bart for the
best part of 30 years. since
they came over from the old
country to make their own
way in the new world.
The O'TooleS and the Kill
feathers were from the same
county at home, and found
one another in the same
parish in New York.
