GREAT many girls complain
A that they have no friends, and
feel that they are most un-
Justly treated because they are not
popular in their social sets.
If these girls would ask themselves
the question, “Why SHOULD people
iike me?” instead of, “Why DON'T
people like'me?" they would get some
information that would be of untold
helpfulness to them.
Why SHOULD people like us un
less we are friendly, agreeable,
cheery, companionable? There is no
reason that they should, and, as a
matter of fact, they don't,
I have never known a girl who was
lonely, and friendless, and left out of
everything, who hadn’'t herself entire-
Iy to blame. Sometimes it's because
#he is a natural-born cat, one of those
spiteful, spitty creatures who to save
their lives can't help clawing you on
Your tender spots.
The kind of girl, you know, who
will take all of the pleasure out of
Your new ring by saying, “What a
pretty lttle ring. It's wonderful how
well those cheap little chip diamonds
make up, isn't it?" Or who will con
gratulate an engaged girl by telling
her that she's glad Tom has found
somebody who was willing to marry
him at last, as he has been refused
by every other girl in the set.
Why should a girl who goes through
[ife using her tongue like a stiletto,
stabbing everybody with whom she
comes In contact, expect t 4 he liked
and for people to want to have her
about? |
Just Plain Selfish.
Sometimes the unpopular girl is
just plain selfish. She seizes the best
of everything for herself. She mo
nopolizes all of the men that she can,
and when she meets a new man she
would die before she would introduce
him to another girl.
Now, soclety is ‘run on the give
and-take plan, and just because the
selfish girl believes that she can al
ways take and never give, she over
reaches herself, and in the end Miss
Piggy is shelved.
Sometimes the reasgn that a girl
has no friends is because she is a
spoil sport. She never wants to do
what other people want to do. If the
others want to dance, she wants to
skate. If the others want to play
tennls, she wants to go paddling.
Or she is one of the finnicky kind of
glirls that has to have eyerything ex
actly right before she can enjoy it,
She can’t sit backward on a car, or
walk in the sun, or sit in a draught,
and she has to be fussed with so
much that she simply isn't worth the
trouble.
She's a wet blanket on any jolly
dttle party, and after an experience
or two in trylng to please her, and
It's the WiVCS Who ..Run.

Decent men, as a rule, abhor Iving.
They seldom lie to each other. Bt

A Strikingly Pretty Pose of Grace Darling.
listening to her complaints, everybody
decides that the best place for her is
her own home. So they leave her
there, ’
The real reason, however, that most
friendless girls don't have friends is
because they haven't the friendly
spirit themselves. They want othet
people to make all the advances. They
expect other people to go out of their
way to hunt them up, and show them
attention, and to pry them out of their
shells of reserve.
What conceit! What arrogance!

It degrades him in his own sight, angd
makes him feel like a sneak thief when
he has to tell hix wife tarra diddies,
but it's the failry story or a fight with
her, 80 he follows the line of least re
sitance and qualifies as a fiction mon«
ger. For well he knows the things that
s Maria woulg B4y were she presented
with a bald statement of facts,
What man, for instance, would dare
to tell his wife the truth about having
lost money in a poker game, or having
dropped it in a little flier that he took
on Wall street, when she had warned
him against speculation?
What man would have the nerve to
tell his wife the truth about why he
didn't come home to dinner, and say
that it was because he had had a ner e~
racking day In business, ang felt that
he would go raving mad it he had the
children’s nolse at home added to 1t?
What man would be brave enough to
tell his wife that when she went off
for & summer vacation alone it was a
real vacation for him because it let him
get out of the monotonous round of too
much domesticity?

There are too many agreeable and

us halfway and make themselves
pleasant for us to bother with the

Myra Webh’s Daughter Gives Her Mother Some Sound
Advice on How to Battle With Poverty.
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN
DE WATER.
i CHAPTER lllil.
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company.)
HE sense of elation did not last,
T Unfortunately, it seldom does.
In the first excitement of trou
ble, when a common anxiety draws
two people closer together than usual,
self-sacrifice—even suffering itself—
seems to have about it a hol of ro
mance and martyrdom. ¥or the mo
ment one feels equal to any test of
courage., |
But when the excitement gives way
to the drudgery of everyday existence,
the halo is dissipated and an appre
clation of the commonplaceness of lifa
weighs one down. Possibly a soldier
would bear with more fortitude the
three days’ experience of a, Gettysburg
than the less strenuous but equally
deadly experience of a Valley Forge. ;
So by the time Myra Webb had ex
plained changed conditions to her
daughter romance was fast disap
pearing from the situation. She had
taken the girl into her confidence cn
the very day on which Horace had
Imparted his painful news.
Grace had borne the shock well,
She was her father's daughter in more
ways than one, the mother reflected
as she saw the child steady hor
twitching lips when she asked, “And
what about college?’ Then, before
Myra could speak, she added, “Of)
course, it is over for me. I must give
up my plans in that direction.”
Resignation.
Protests that there must be some
way of avolding this disappointment
were of no avail, although at first the
mother predicted that “something
would happen” to make it possible
for Grace to complete her two remain
ing years at Barnard. When, at the
end of some days, matters looked even
more hopeless than at first, Grace
iamfled at the older woman’s forlorn
hope,
“You are like Mr, Micawber, moth
er,” she said in a tone that she strove
to make playful, "Ypu are always ex
pecting ‘something to turn up.’ But
in this case it won't. So lam making
my plans accordingly.”
“What do you mean?" }
“I went last week to ask Miss Let
son If she could give me a place as
teacher in the primary department ‘n
her school next fall. She says that
her school will be fuller than evor
this next year, and, after talking wizh
me, and consulting with a couple of
the professors at college whom she
happens to know and in whose Eng
lish classes I have done good work,
she has promised to give me a trial.”
“And you have arranged all this by
yourself, without consulting either
your father or me!” the mother ex
claimed. “You are wonderful, Grace.”
Like Her Father.
She meant the admiration that she
expressed. Yet in her heart she wished
that the girl felt more sense of de
pendence on the mother who loved
her, Yes—Grace was like her fathsr,
“Why should I trouble you about it,
mother?” the girl argued. “If noth
ing had come of it, you would not
have been disappointed. And while it
was all in the alr, so to speak, why
add to your anxlety by talking of an
uncertainty 7
| The logic was unanswerable, and
‘Myru chided herself for her slight
feeling of regret at Grace's independ
lence. And as she felt this self-re
proach, she felt more strongly com-

T for dishonest traveling mor

passion for all that Grace was re
linquishing. Crossing the room to the
window by which the girl stood, she
put her arms about the slender fig
ure, . ¢
“Darling,” she murmured, “I am so
sorry you have had to give up your
college course. Somehow, it does not
seem right, nor fair. Yet, dear, it
seems also inevitable,
“Yes, it is,” the girl responded. Her
Voice trembled and she held her moth
er close for a minute. “But since it
is inevitable—why stalk of it? You
have troubles of your own just now.”
‘ So she appreciated that the mother
}ha.d troubles, did she? Then why not
‘speak out the sympathy that the par
‘ent longs for?
| Many Troubles.
. The “troubles” were many as the
weeks passed. It is not an easy task
to move from a house into a small
apartment. The sunny flat which the
Webbs selecte?l was just off Broadway
—almost two blocks from the Hudson.
It was pleasant enough, but very
small. The walls of the living roorg
were lined with book shelves:; vet
‘these could not contain half the vol
umes collected during the years of
plenty, and many boxes of books were
put in storage. |
Myra’s desk, at which she hoped toi
do much writng, mut stand in the
dining room. The largest bedroom
contained twin beds for husband and
wife. Grace's room was small, but
light. The tiny room for the maid
was barely large enough for one per
son. This made less difference, as the
Webbs expected to keep but one maid.
But until fall Myra and Grace would
do all the housework except the
washing and ironing. The mother
suggested at first that even after the
fall term at school began they might
dispense with the services of a do
mestic. But her daughter objected to
this plan.
“You expect to do writing to eke
\out the family income,” she remarked
practically. “If you have to perform
a housemaid’'s duties, when will you
write?”
“When I have finished the house
work each day,” the mother replied, “I
will have time for several hours of
undisturbed writing.”
| False Economy.
~ “You mean you will try to do brain
work after you have exhausted your
physical strength on washing dishes,
sweeping, dusting and cooking?”
Grace queried. “You will find it a
mistake to attempt all that, mother.
There will be nothing but the dregs of’
your energy left‘,for your writing. No,
that would be foolish and not a bit
economical. We will get through the
summer without a servant, but when
the fall comes you must have one.”
So it was decided that during the
summer Myra and Grace would do
the housework. When the fall came
they would make other arrangements,
Maenwhile, Grace took out of the
savings bank a small sum she had
laid away during her school days in
case there might some day be some
thing she wanted very much that her
parents might think a foolish desire.
And this sum she spent on three jes
sons a week in stenography and type
writing. 5
But of this she said nothing to her
father or mother. If ted®hing failed,
she told herself, there would be ste
nography to fall back upon.

.“I’m off for New York,” said Jim, angrily. ‘““Good-bv!”’
~ Novelized from the Messrs. Shubert’s
production of the Broadway success,
“Just a Woman,’ b}g Eugene Walter,

“WILI. vhls position pe about
the same as you have now,
or a little better?”
“Why, it can’t help but be better.”
“If Ned's all I've brought you in the
last few years, that's the one thing
you're not going to take away from
me. You're not going to send him
away to one of those fancy schools
with fancy teachers to make a fancy
man out of him, He’'ll stay right here
and will go to public school, with his
mother to take care of him, and if he
can’'t be a satisfactory son to you, I'm
going to make him a good grandson
to my father. That's settled.
Jim’s Pretext.
“All right,” snarled Jim angrily. “I
can't even have a little influence in
handling my own boy. In one breath
you try to keep me home and in the
next you try to drive me away-—away
from everything.”
“I'm not trying to drive you any
where.”
L L TPR
sorsful for my poor littel brain, you
are too deep for me.
It is yure deel, sed Ma to her.
Allow me to riffle the cards for you,
sed Pa. No, I doant want to cut them
‘after you fix them, sed Pa. I trust
you, ”
Cut, Said Ma.
Mister Dooly sed to always trust in
human nater, but cut the cards, sed
Ma.
' But. Mister Dooly nevver knew this
littel lady, sed Pa. 1 used to have a
litte! gurl sweethart named Dorothy,
sed Pa. She died,
Perhaps she was better, off, sed Ma.
It is yure deel,
8o it is, sed Pa.
Ma kep winning all the eevning &
neerly every big pot she won was
from the widow.
You have moast amazing luck, sed
the widow to Ma. It is almost weerd!
If this wasent a soshul gaim, she sed,
I wud think maybe you ‘lerned the
gaim from Wizard Kellar, she said,
If this wasent a soshul gaim, a vary
sohul gaim, sed Ma, I'wud insist on
you riffling & deeling yure own cards,
& 1 wud cut the deck, too, sed Ma.
Wen the gaim was oaver Ma & the
widow was the only big winners, the
widow won six dollars,
I am glad she won, sed P'a, the lone
sum littel dear. 1 wonder If the mun
ny will help her out,
1 Tnu #O, sed Ma, she will probly
buy two new hats with it like the one
she woar to-nite,
~ Jim was so angry that he hardly
realized with what eagerness he had
seized on a pretext for anger.
“Yes, you are. The whole thing is
too darn ridiculous. I'm off for New
York. Good-bye.”
“When will you be back?”
“I don’'t know. Good-bye.”
The slam of a door! How much
that has meant to women since civ
ilization gave to men doors to slam!
There is a certain inevitable force
about the incisive sound of a closing
door. It carries to a woman a certain
message of a barrier shut and fast
ened against her. More than bitter
words, it bears to her brain the por
tent of finality,
As long as Jim was there and she
could talk to him, even though lLe
faced her in bitterness and anger, still
Anna had the warming sense that he
was there. A woman's heart waits for
the miracle of resurgent love that
shall warm her Man to her again. But
the slammed door—the sound of that
closing barrier—puts an absolute pe
riod to her hopes and expectations.
When her ears hear that, a woman's
heart says to Her: “It is over.”
Anna stood motionless for a second,
First fright, then grief, and finally
resignation stole over her features,
and set them in a mold of sorrow. Life
as a vital thing seemed ended.
And then outside the door sounded
a child’'s voice.
“Are you there, mother?"
Anna stood in silence struggling
with herself. She had lost Jim, and
while she refused to acknowledge it,
she sensed it.
~ Again the child's voice sounded:
~ “Mother, are you there? Mother—
answer me.”
Mother Love.
And mother love summoned
strength to Anna's drooping figure.
She had wanted the unconsciousness
of oblivion, but that is a luxury which
few people can have just when it
means most to them. Dramatic na
tures might actually enjoy revelling
in their agony and in the consequent
self-pity. But Nature is dramatic in
a practical way. She demands that
after a funeral there shall yet be meat
and drink for the-. living. Nature
saves us from ourselves,
Nature forced Anna back to the
needs of the moment. There was the
voice of her boy demanding its an
swer.
“Mother, mother — mother — dear'
Are you there?” called Ned,
And Anna held her voice to steadi
ness as she called, “Yes, my baby—
mother's here.”
Into the room came a sturdy little
figure with tawny hair and blue eyes
and some of the lean boyishness Jim
must have had in his youth. But the
width between the eyes and sensitive
curve of nostrils and lips below the
high eheek bones were the boy's heri
tage from his mother,
“Say, mother, wfi?fi the matter
with my going out in the yard to play
on my drum?”
Anna caught him in her arms with
a viclence which rather astonished
the little lad. His mind was on drums
and good times. How could he know
that his mother was passionately
shrieking thanks to her God for her
boy—and prayers that she might keep ‘
him—her boy, always her boy.
When Mr. Lascelle, of the New
York bar, played any game, he playod) 1
to win. Your true sportsman gam- *
bles for the joy of taking chances;
your real hunter follows the chase for
the sheer zest of trying to find his
game rather than to bag it; but yvour
sharper of a lawyer and vour trickster
politician have no respect for means
except as they lead to an end. Loaded
dice, marked cards, an extra deck up
his sleeve; all these were part of Las
celle’s equipment for the game of life
as he played it.
He was a clever enough student of
human nature to perceive that under
her primitive devotion to Jim there
was pride in Anna's nature. On that .
pride he meant to play. He knew the
one raucous note that would set her
nerves vibrating. He sensed the one
hideous move in the game that must
force Anna to make a counter move. 4
