By Betty Be Friday, HOME PAGE May 23, Advice on Courtship and Marriage Vincent The “Popular” Girl—and the One Who Isn’t. oe OW I have been taught,” N writes “Gertrude H.” among other things, “that flirta- Gonsare wrong. Yet deep in my heart I 4 wish somebody WOULD firt with me © * © Whenever I see or hear of girls my age having good deing taken out by young men @B4 being proposed to and all that fort of thing, I grow so sad and morbid that I am too unhappy to live. Please advise me what I can do wo make young men like me * * * I am not pretty or bright at repartee. I do not dance well, play the piano Or go in for sports,” 1 wish I had a magic recipe for making the plain girl “popular.” But alas! I know thatas long as the world ‘wags on there will always be “popu- Jar’ girls and those who have to work hard for their attention, Not being pretty is no bar, however, to popularity. Prettiness is always an asset. But some of the homell- est young women have a certain charm that draws admirers like flies to sugar. ‘This charm ts usvally bor: tn one, Dut it can be acquired to a large ex- tent, and cultivated just as a garden ean, T™ my opinion the first requisite of harm is vitality. Some girls are maturally vivacious and lively, having fo make no effort to be so, This in- variably attracts, whether the girl is Pretty or not. If you do not come by animation naturally, you must ACT it. Exert yourself, But do it In a way to seem natural. That is to say, Pp don’t overdo it The surest way to | seem animated is to feel interested, either in what you yourself are say- ing, or, better still. in what the other person is mying. A g00d listener is almost as good as @ good talker, Dvn't simper and act embarrassed when a man speaks to you, Try and be interested in what interests him. If you are not, make believe you are. When at a loss for conversation, vk @ man to explain something to you, Ask him what the setting-up exercises are In the army, that you hear so much about. Or how a fellow g0es about getting into the Navy. League of Nations? Or baseball, or football, or boxing, or skating or any- thing that comes into, your head. Men like to explain things. Learn to dance. Every girl ought to know how to dance well. If you haven't a natural knack for it, do as well as you can anyhow. Don't be fussy or prudish, This does not mean be mannish or vulgar or too ready for adventure, There is a way of be- ing reserved and _ self-respecting without being prim and stiff or loose in your behavior, Be ready for things—ready to take a walk or a trolley ride or go on a picnic or what- ever is suggested, even if you aren't very keen for it, or are tired or it isn't the thing you wanted. Above all, be good tempered. Learn to stand teasing. Don't get mad when things disappoint. At least don't SHOW that you are mad. Men adore good-humoredness in women, and if you look round you will see that the good-humored woman wins out every time, no matter if she is as stupid as an owl and as homely as a mud fence. The homely girl simply has to work harder for what she gets than the pretty one. The homely ‘woman can dress attractively, She can know how to do things—ewim, dance, play tennis, row, &c, She can be a good friend, a pal, a pleas- ant companion, She can learn to talk, She can always be a good listener, and she can be brightly ani- mated, giving the semblance of be- ing alive and interested in a fellow. That, after all, is a sure-fire hit! “Belle."—There are many theories about dreams, But they are all the- ries, fot actual scientific facts. Do not worry about your husband's dreams of his former wife. The sub- conscious mind stores up thousands upon thousands of experiencess When the body sleeps and the conscious mind ceases to act, these stored up impressions are, in a sense, released, In a more or less jumbled state they crop up, just as memories of anything which is past crop up even in our waking hours. They are mental shad- ows, nothing more. Be guided by your husband's kind actions toward you.

ATERIALS are 80 « fascinating for summer's frocks that any woman who hes not bought and planned for more than she can possibly make up should be rewarded for bravery. Fine French voiles with colored lincs woven through, or printed with quaint flowers or Ggures, new Eng- lish prints in percales and calico that our grand- mother reminisos about, dimities and dot- ted Swisses, all with some new and interesting al- lure simply cannot be passed by casually, The pictures they tnspjre*ot* ourselves made charming in picturesque frocks of them promote ambition to have and to spare no pains in making. The making, however, is not diMeult and several @ammer frocks can be mado tn the eame length of time required for heav- fer fabrics because the finishing is not #o- im- portant, I am offering a mmart design for eithe: percale or voile in @ ribbed or printed stripe, the lines being made to play a prominent part by running in juxtaposition. The bodice and upper skirt choose the stripes lengthwise, while the sleeves and lower shirt prefer them roundwise. Plain white organdy is combined in this model to form a buxuriant col- lar that opens in front to reveal a pretentious button and eyelet which fasten the bodice in a point onto a small white tucker, Generous ouffts A COUNTRY RESORT ing repeated on the skirt in the band Original Dress Des For the Smart Woman | Mildred Lodewick (The New York ivening World). ‘ Striped Percale Develops This Stunning Model, FROCK PRACTICAL. igns WOULD FIND THIS woman of taste will choose the colors are also of the white, their width Be- | which are the most becoming.
