To Make a Hit With Women :: By Dorothy Dix
LOVELORN youth writes me a
pathetic letter sayinp that he is
persona non grata with the fair
6ex, that girls do not care for his so
ciety, and the ungrateful minxes turn
their hacks upon him and talk to other
men in the very instant they are de
vouring the candy he brought them, and
wearing the violets on which he squan
dered his good money. This state of
affairs greatly distresses him, and he
wants to know why he isn’t popular,
and how he may become a winner with
women.
Let us see if we can help him.
Women differ from men in this re
spect, that looks do not count. It does
not matter whether a man is handsome
or not. Indeed, very few women care
for beauty in the opposite sex. It is a
poaching on their own preserves that
they resent. Also it requires them to
became flatterers instead of the flattered,
for the vanity of the vainest woman that
ever lived is as water unto wine com- 4

Superfluous
Hair Truths
Stop Experimenting
There are but few depilatories sold.
You think there are hundreds because
you have used the same identical
preparations under several different
names. This is easily explained.
Women stop using
So-Called Hair Removers
when they learn that they are harm
ful. Therefore, th«y can not be sold
under the same name for any length
of time. Then the identical, worth
less. harmful concoctions are given
new names and advertised again as
totally different preparations to
Defraud the Same Foolish Women
who innocently buy them over and
over again under different names, and
this will continue as long as women
are so unwise as to experiment with
unknown, so-called hair removers.
Djejffliraefe
Has Stood the Jest of Time
De Miracle has been sold as De
Miracle for.over eleven years, and its
name has never been changed. It Is
zcknowledgea the world over by emi
nent authorities as the one safe, per
fected hair remover, therefore it is
the only depilatory you can use with
out experimenting.
Leaves No Tell-Tale Smell
If you use De Miracle it will be im
possible for any curious person to
know that you have used a hair re
mover because De Miracle evaporates
immediately after accomplishing Us
work, therefore leaves no odor what
ever. On the other hand, if you use
any depilatory with a distinctive odor,
an offensive, tell-tale smell will cling
to your skin for hours.

pared to the vanity of a man who is a
living picture, and who knows it—and
expects to be told of It.
It is worth bearing in mind that al
most without exception the men who
were the great heart smashers of his
tory were not only plain of face, but
some of them grotesquely hideous. So
no man need despair on account of his
lack of pulchritude when he wants to
take a hand at the game of hearts.
He Should Shave.
But where mere regularity of features
in a man counts for little in attracting
a woman’s fancy, a man should pay
much attention to his clothes and his
grooming. Nothing on earth, but the
grace of God. keeps a woman in love
with a man with a two days’ stubble of
dirty beard on his face. Married women
stand this because they can’t help them
selves; but no girl wants a slovenly, un
tidy man. who looks as if he needed to
be run through the laundry, hanging
about her. All the knocking about the
word “dude” comes from masculine lips.
No woman joins in that chorus. On the
contrary, she feels that the man who
comes into her presence ill-clothed, dir
ty, neglected looking, not only shows
disrespect for her. but indicates that he
lacks judgment, Industry and progress
iveness. For that is exactly what being
ill-dressed now means.
Another thing that women like, and
it is an attraction that any man can
acquire, is a certain savoir faire that
makes him equal to any situation A
woman likes a man to know how to
offer her a chair, to^help her on with
her wraps, to order a little dinner.
And she hates with unspeakable loath
ing the fellow who Is always making
scenes in public, who gets in rows with
the theater usher over a mistake about
the seats, or the street car conductor
about the change, nr who sits up like a
graven image of wrath every time any
body drops in while he is calling.
“Chump,” says the girl to herself, “he
hasn’t got enough sense to know only
the ignorant have to fight tQ get their
rights.”
Women like generous men. but even
girls have a contempt for men who
spend more than they can afford. It
is not the youths who waste all their
substance on bonbons and theater tick
ets and violets who are the most pop
ular with the fair sex. Every girl has
what she calls her “candy beau," but
she seldom marries him. The beat way
to touch a girl's heart Is not by upset
ting her digestion.
An important point to remember here
is that the man who would curry favor
by means of gifts must give discreet
ly. A woman would rather have a pres
ent that cost 5 cents if it represented
some especial taste or fancy of hers
than one that cost $50 if it was some
thing that had no personal significance.
Don’t Be a Clam.
In conversation, cultivate a happy
medium. Be neither a continuous mon
ologue performer nor yet a clam. Be
fore you take the floor and devote hours
to expatiating on how you can keep
books or play ping-pong or take snap
shots, be sure the girl is really inter
ested In you. After a woman is in
love, she can sit entranced for days lis
tening to a man tell about the kind of
collar button he wears, but if she isn't
in love, a steady stream of personal
reminiscences gets on her nerves, and
she wants a change. Besides she de
sires to talk about herself.
For pity’s sake, though, help out with
the conversation. From the time a
girl is old enough to understand any
thing she Is taught that her chief end
in life is to entertain man. and every
where you go you can see her conscien
tiously at work trying to do it. Every
mother’s daughter of us knows what it
is to labor, and perspire, and toil, try
ing to make conversation with some
man who is just as unresponsive as a
store dummy and as silent as the
Sphinx. It isn’t a fair division of la
bor, and if a man wants to see true
gratitude let him chip in and help roll
the conversation ball along.
“Be bold, be bold, be not too bold.”
Women hate a timid man, and they de
spise the one who takes it for granted
that he has only to throw th*e handker
chief to have every girl scramble for it.
Learn how to pay compliments as If
you me&n them. Don’t apply flattery
with a trowel. Few women are fools.
Don’t tell a woman the first time you
see her she is the ideal you have been
seeking for many years. Seven hun- !
dred other Idiots have told her that be
fore.
Don’t quote sentimental poetry to a
girl. It always makes her want to gig
gle.
Don’t give Jn too much to a woman.
If she has good sense she won’t want
you to sacrifice your taste or principles,
and, if she is unreasonable, she will re
spect you for mastering her.
Finally, beloved—and if you forget all
the rest remember this—don’t stay too
long when you go to call. More men
queer themselves right here than they
do anywhere else. No living human
being is entertaining for more than 30
minutes at a time or endurable for
more than two hours at a stretch. In
that time every man can say everything
he has got to say worth hearing, and if
he lingers along until the clock begins
to yawn in his face, he Is simply defying
fate and inviting disaster. Many a good
impression is spoiled by too much of it.
And when you get up to go, go as If
you were fired out of a gun. Don’t lin
ger for tender farewells and last words.
Most girls wear shoes three sizes too
small for them, and when a man keeps
one standing on the doorstep while he
makes his adieus she isn’t saying, like
Juliet: “I could say good-by, good-by,
’til it be morning'' On the contrary,
she is regretting that all the stories
about papa’s boot and the swift waft
out are fiction instead of fact, and she
would be willing to pay out good money
to anybody who would accelerate Ro
meo’s descent of the steps.
Of course, no general rules can be laid
down for winning the fancy of the fair
sex. What has been said pretends to
be no more than the most elementary
facts, but a guarantee goes with each
suggestion that it will work.

One Woman’s Story
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER
CHAPTER Vni.
RIDE and an Instinctive stoicism
kept Mary Danfroth’s pale face
impassive as she listened to her
father’s agitated announcement An
iron hand seemed to be gripping her
throat and stifling her. She steadied
herself and faced her parents as she
drew away from her father’s encircling
arm He still held the paper in his
trembling hand. Beside him was his
wife, aghast and silent, her thin fingers
nervously twisting the handkerchief she
held.
The girl spoke quietly and steadily;
“Mr. Chaig may not have been hurt,
you know,’’ she reminded her father.
“The first reports of accidents are often
exaggerated.’’
She turned away and went down the
hall to her own room, closing her door
behind her. She took ofT her hat and
put it away, then lifted the books from
her dressing table, on which she had
jUst laid them, and arranged them on
her desk. All these actions she per
formed with care, yet she moved as in
a dream She stood, looking about her
as If searching for some other duty to
perform, but, finding nothing, sudden
ly flung herself on her bed and lay
there, silent, staring wide-eyed into the
gathering dusk.
At the end of a half hour her mother
knocked timidly at the door.
“May I come In, Mary?” she asked in
a low voice. “Are"you asleep?’’
The girl drew herself to a sitting pos
ture on the edge of her bed
“Come in, mother," she said, dully.
“No. I haven't been asleep. 1 was just
lying down and—thinking."
"The parent laid a cool hand on her
daughter’s forehead.
“Poor little girl!" she murmured.
"Poor little girl! I know this news wae
a terrible shock to you."
Mary stirred irritably under her moth
er’s touch. “Of course, it was a shock,"
she said coldly. "It is always terrible to
hear of accidents of that kind." She
paused, then steeled herself to utter
what she would not acknowledge was a
deliberate falsehood. "But I have been
thinking it might have been much
worse. Suppose there had been on that
traJn someone whom we really cared
for.”
Mrs. Danforth looked In silence at
the speaker; then, bending over, kissed
her and left the room. Mary sat for a
moment longer motionless on the side
of her bed. Then she bowed her face
upon her hands and closed her eyes.
Dinner that night was a dismal af
fair. * The gloom of the accident op
pressed all minds. Mr. Danforth was
nervous and talked of nothing but the
wreck, lnveighling against the careless
ness of the railroad officials, the in
difference corporations showed for hu
man life, and explaining how the dis
aster might have been avoided—dwelling
on the subject until Mary felt as if she
could bear it no longer.
When the meal was at last over.
Mary, remarking briefly that she must
go back to her studying, went to her
own room again. Her parents remained
at the table, chatting, while the man of
the house smoked his post prandial
cigar.
“I am glad that Mary doesn't take
this news any more deeply to heart."
remarked the father with masculine ob
tuseness. "I was afraid that she was
beginning to think too much of Craig
and that if he was hurt or killed it
must break her all up.”
His wife shook her head with the
scorn that a woman always shows for
a man’s lack of perception.
“She feels it more than she knows
herself,” she remarked enigmatically.
"Bosh!” exclaimed Mr. Danforth.
"Mary isn’t the kind to keep such a
trouble as that to herself. Of course
se liked the chap—and she is dis
tressed to think that he may have been
injured, or—worse. But you told me
yesterday that you fancied she was be
ginning to care a good deal for him.
She wouldn’t be so calm if she did. She
regards him only as a pleasant acquain
tance."
In her own room Mary bent over her
books and tried to study. She attacked
the preparation for to-morrow’s recita
tions with a determination to banish all
other matters from her mind. "Any
thing to keep from thinking!” she whis
pered to herself. "This suspense is
awful—but it may be better than to
know the truth." A lump of ice seemed
to be pressing upon her heart, but she
worked on.
It was late when she extinguished her
ght, yet dawn was graying her win-
dowpanes before she fell into a troubled
slumber.
Her eyes were heavy when he dragged
herself Into the dining room that morn
ing. Her father was opening the morn
ing paper which lay beside his plate.
With a sickening contraction of her
throat the girl watched him scan the
first page of the sheet. Suddenly he •
started to his feet.
“Hear this!’’ he exclaimed, excitedly,
" 'Texan Hero of Railroad Wreck; Gor
don Craig Rescues Three Women From
Burning Pullman; Is Himself Unhurt!"
Mrs. Danforth uttered a low cry of
alarm, and at the sound the reader
dropped his paper and sprang forward.
Mary had slipped quietly from her chair
to the floor. She had fainted.
The parents’ eyes met in a significant
look as they both bent over the pros
trate girl.
“I told you so!” said the mother
gravely. *
Little Bobbie’s Pa
By WILLIAM F KIRK.
I HAVEN’T quite made up my mind
yet whether Bobbie shud lern a
trade or a professhun, sed Ma to
Pa yesterday. Sumtlmes I think it
wud be nice if he cud lern a trade, &
aggenn I think a trade is kind of
commonplace. A professhun is so
professhunal, sumhow, so distin
guished, sed Ma.
I guess there are a lot of yung law
yers in the big cities that doant see
anything vary professhunal about a
professhun, sed Pa. If I were a yung
man aggenn. Pa sed, I wud a lot rath
er work steddy at a trade than pro
fess at a professhun. Bobbie, what
do you want to be?
I toald Pa thare was three things &
I dident know wich one of the three 1
wanted to be the moast, a pitcher like
Dent, or a elevator boy, or a poet.
Pitchers and poets are born, not
made, sed Pa, & a elevator boy isent
any kind of job for you wen you grow
up. If I thought you cud be a post
like me or a pitcher like Dent, sed Pa,
I wud tell you by all meens go ahed
& try to be one or the other. bu»
thare alji’t many Dents & thare ain’t
many me’s, sed Pa.
Dear me, sed Ma, & wen did you
beeeum grate?
Dident I rite that poem that 1 red
at the bankwet the other nite wen 1
was toastmaster, sed Pa, and dident
all the men thare say that it was the
work of a geenyus?
The men was kind of enthused too
much, I guess, sed Ma. I guess that
a certain amount of champagne will
make men stand for almost anything
In liter-ature. Doant talk to me
about that poem, sed Ma. Vt you call
that art. you are a blacksmith. I
found two of the verses in yure coat
pocket after the bankwet, Ma sed. &
I must say that you are no Milton.
1 tell you the poem met with grate
applause, sed Pa.
& you remember what I jest toald
you about champane, sed Ma. Bob
bie, she sed to me, if you think this
is good poetry, you are a chip of the
old block. Listen;
All brethren we stand together to-
nite
Where all the lites are shining brite.
Met here in friendship’s strong em
brace
We can look each other in the face
& know that all of us is men.
Wich is a good thing now’ & then.
The world needs men like us to fight
For truth & the eternal right
l & the reason eech one of us thrives
&. supports ourselfs and our wives
Is beekaus of that brain power we
possess
That is the cause of our grate suc
cess.
So all of us brethren gathered here
Have little if anything to fear,
Jest so we keep on working hard
& continued success will be our re
ward.
Now, Bobbie, sed Ma, 1 want you
to be a honest littel boy. If you had
yure choice between beeing a ele
vator boy & that kind of a poet, wich
w’ud you be? ,
I wud be a elevator boy, I toald
Ma. The hours is easier.
