this Unfiling quality of charm, I find It difficult to reply to this
Lby the morning's mall:
A? Won't you please write something about how a girl can
make men llkolfer. I am so unnontilar that It maltha tno unhannv. I am 2C Years
of age and am not ugly, but am really better-looking than lots of my girl friends,
whp got more Invitations than I do.
I am a high school graduato and stood well In my class. Please answer Boon.
1 MISERABLE.
Don't you know, "Mlsorablo," that the most popular women, the most charm
ins;, are not always the Venuscs of tho raco7 Nor nro they necessarily the
Mtneryte, though If I had to chooso between beauty and brains for an equipment
to conquer tho mascullno world, I should unhesitatingly tako tho brains. Tho
possessor of mere beauty of faco and form cannot simulate brain, but sho who has
fcnUh can simulate beauty, in other words, a clever woman can croato tho Im
pression of benuly In tho mind of tho man sho wants to attract, whorcas a
beautiful woman wth no gray matter succeeds In being a picture only.
Popularity tho lasting kind Is based on charm, which, after nil, Is something
more than perfection of featuro and alluring curves. It Is also something more
than gray matter. But Just what It Is I cannot say.
A delightful old lady, whom I know and who was a great belle In hor
day, declares that tho woman who has tho "vlcns lcl" look In her oye Is tho
woman around whom tho men flock. It Is a "como hither" expression molting,
appealing, flattering which tho male person can no moro resist than tho honey
bee can resist tho tempting blossom.
But whon you nsk her, with tears In your eyes, how this expression can
i bo acquired, sho laughs hor sllvqr little laugh and Bays dlscouraglngly:
"I don't know, I'm sure, child. It's a gift, I reckon."
After all, Is popularity such a dcslrablo thing? Don't you think that tho
) so-called popular girl she who has 20 men, lot us say, at her beck and call
must put up with a great deal In order to keep them thore7 In tho first place,
In ordor to keep 20 men Interested In her, sho must bo Interested In them
) In tholr hobbles, In their aliments and not Infrequently In their love affairs!
' Probably Mary Blank's claim to popularity rests on tho fact that Bho's
willing to spend a whole evening listening to Billy Brown oxpatlato on
tho Joys of bee-keeping; tho next evening Is given over to Harry Smith, whose
hobby Is golf. Mary thinks golf tho most boring sport In tho world, and doesn't
know a niblick from a tee, but sho assumes n fascinated expression and murmurs,
"How cleverl" ovory once in a whllo, and Harry goes away impressed with
the belief that sho Is at once tho most charming and most agreeable girl ho
has over metl
Tho popular girl Is Beldom "cholcoy." Sho prefers quantity to quality. Often
the discovers too late that she has made n mistake. Girls less popular than
sho have married well. She has dallied too long has scattered her force, as It
were, Instead of concentrating. Sho Is becoming worn. Sho has Known droves
of men, but always nop- ones. Her popularity isn't tho lasting kind. It isn't based
on charm.
A moro sensible type, I believe, is the girl who sets more otoro by a few
well-chosen, interesting friends, rather than a number. Sho doosn't givo over all of
her waking hours to inconsequential men, but reserves some time for hersolf and
for tho cultivation f a nersonallty. Don't worry about yourself. Certainly there
Is no reason why a girl who Is 22, not ugly and had sufficient Intelligence to stand
well in her class, should bo miserable,
who Interest you and I'm sure you'll not havo cause to onvy "fl. moro popu
lor" slstor. M'LISS.

PLANTING INFORMATION
FOR VEGETABLE GARDEN
By JOHN BARTRAM
In plotting out tho small garden ama
teurs are perplexed as to tho amount of
seed or number of plants required to fill
a row of stated length, and they are also
at sea about tho dlstanco apart to placo
the rows. Oarden articles are usually
sllint on these practical points, so I am
covering them In a simple way by means
of tables. From the tabular Information
any one can adapt his ground to accord
with available space nnd to cater to the
tastes of tho family. A garden planned
on the linos of those suggested In my ar
ticle of April 27 will prepare tho wny for
a systematic campaign. Although It Is
desirable to havo liberal spacing between
the rows. If tho ground is well fertilized
and occasional dressings of a good com
mercial fertilizer are applied during tho
season tho rows can bo close together,
with the reservation that enough room
must be loft for cultivation, which keeps

roused the Nationalist sentiment.

On that day 1 saw, on tho north side of

AXTI-KNOMSH MEETING.
On tho following day the first big nntl
EtiRltsh meeting took placo at a public
hall, and the place was Inadequate for the
crowd. I arrived In Dublin on that Sun
day morning In 1914 nt 6 o'clock. Tho
station IS about a mile from tho town, the
nearest tram, four blocks. Tnxls thcro are
none, the only ehlclo tho romantic but
uncomfortable Jaunting car.
Dublin was still asleep, hut posters, still
wet, cocrcd wnlls and every available flat
space. Two posters In particular hod evi
dently been pasted over layers of others.
Tho one announced a Joint meeting of the
inch volunteers, the Gaelic Lnguc, tho
Sinn Peltiers, tho Citizens' Army nnd the
Transport Union In Parnell Squaro that
afternoon In honor of Parnell.
All these associations had como out

born organization, tho "Neutrality League,
whoso object, so rend the poster, was to
preserve tho neutrality of Ireland In a war
Ictwocn two foreign Powers.
Later In tho morning the crowds began
gnthcr in the Btrects called O'Conncll
by tho Irish nnd Sackvillo by the English.
They came from neighboring counties,
Watcrford, Droghcda and In excursions
from counties west and south. Somo time
I during tho morning every one of them had
marched out to Pariiell's Rrave, somo few1
had come hack to the square with their
families, tho rest wero marching In the
parade.
Wo followed the crowd around the
squaro to the upper side, and then the real
work of tho day began. Tho various
groups of the parado separated, the leader
of each section mounting a box or stand
ing up on tho tall of tho cart began his
plea to his nudlcncc. The crowd made a
solid clrcula- phalanx In the street encirc
ling tha iftiare. Here and thoro a man
elevated above the crowd talked with
them.
I wandered from one group to nnothcr
until I came to tho uppermost. Strange as
It may seem, not a word had I heard of
Parnell It was all of "Ireland for the
Irish" nnd "Do you remember." And as
the Irishman supplements the speaker and
nils In the short pause after the period,
tha crowd' was a loving echo of the sen
timents of tho leaders.
On tho north' side of the square stood
Larkln surrounded by the citizen nrmy.
Lark In vvaa acclaimed tho only man who
had boon able to mako his antlrccrultlng
speech In front of the hall in which the
Prime Minister was making his plea to
the Irish Many had started to speak
before that meeting, but only Larkln had
finished. His bodyguard of armed boys
had resisted tho police succssfully then
and they were with him this day.
Then came tho crisis, an event which
probably showed the temper of the Irish
people.
CLASH IS AVERTED
While Lnrkln was talking a band swung
around the corner from O'Connell street
and tried to make Its way through the
crowd on the north side of the square.
This band was a part of the faction of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians that had fol
lowed Redmond In his pro-English stand.
Tho police stopped the band Immediately,
but the crowd resented tho Interruption.
The A. O. H would not retrea The citi
zen nrmy had subtly worked Its way from
tho cart on which Itrkln f d to tha
edgo of tho crowd. Sudden'.y the citizen
army faced the opposing group from curb
to railing A woman screamed, some
body fired a blank cartridge and the two
bodies of men fnced each other with
bayonets in place.
A man grabbed me by tho arm and I
arrived ut the top pf seven steps. The
crowd ducked low. One mother Bquntted
on the ground over her two children, like
a setting hen. We waited. The citizen
nrtrly nnd tho A. O. II. stood rendy to
charge. Larkln went on speaking. I
don't think he Btopped, but his audience
had turned Its back to him nnd stood
ready to follow the army. I could see
the plain clothes men between the two
groups, talking to the leaders of both
sides. My ees ached with the effort to
see which side wodld be tho first to
charge.
LAltKLV SPOKE
But the miracle came to pass. The A.
O. II. was persuaded to move back, the
army dropped Its guns nnd Larkln even
tually finished his speech.
All that afternoon one came across
Irishmen talking to other Irishmen, re
minding thm that patriotism began at
home. These Bmall outdoor meetings had
been going on slnco August 1, I wns told,
and tho police were mnklng no attempt
to stop them.
Tho first meeting of tho heralded Neu
trality League was scheduled for tho
next day. Early on Monday morning tho
notice hnd been covered up hy a clvlo
notice with somo reference to tho water
works. An hour later tho Neutrality
posters wero uppermost Agnln tho local
posters superseded them nnd the gnmo
kept up until tho hour of tho meeting.
PATRIOTISM STIRRED
But tho talk wns merely full of rem
iniscences nnd sentiment until the one
womnn on the platform got up. She was
the Countess Marklewlcs. an Irish girl
from Slleo. nnd tho lender of thn Ttnv
Scout movement. Sho hnd recently been
nrreslud and when her houso was
searched tho cablegram read that printing
presses with which the latest Incendiary
pnpers had been published were confis
cated by the Government.
Tho Countess camo to a point nfter
the first onslaught on tho English Gov
ernment. "Do you men of Ireland know what
you aro talking? It's trenBont And aro
you ready to live up to It?
And tho crowd got up ns one man nnd
cheered nnd went.
After tho meeting some one camo up
to me and asked mo If I could and would
send to Berlin nn engineer's map of tho
Irish coast. I declined,
A moro general survey of Dublin made
clear tho divisions In Ireland Itself. I
found Dublin divided Into two groups.
One. that which had faith In the coming
of tho home rule bill after tho close of
tho war, found It to its own interest to
back the British Government. Tho second
faction placed no trust In this promise and
steadily began to preparo to fight for
home rule.
Tho only difference between tho two
factions was the diversion of opinion as
to best means to the end. If they be
lieved with Redmond, and somo thought
!) Redmond did his best, they enltted
Id the British army tf they feared the
Government Wad tooling them they went
Into training for their own army I found
the distrust for the motives of the Gov
ernment domlpatlng loven then, In 1914
MAYOR WlTlt REDMOND,
I had an Interview with tho then Lord
Mayor of Dublin, who was backing Red
mond Up In his recruiting campaign, He
Is on enthusiastic! Redmondlte nnd dis
paraged the efforts of tho "tin pike" men
to discourage recruiting, But even his
attituae seemed more that of efpedfency.
"If we stand out ngalnst the English
now she coutd surround Us with tvnr
shlps and devastate the country. We
haven't any guns, they'll never let us
have them.
"We'll never get Home Rule at the end
of the war. Did you hear Asqulth say
'You can't expect me to use force ngalnst
Ulster?' And Bonnr Law stands back of
them. Didn't he tell Carson that when
the country was out of danger he, Bonar
Law, could be relied on, If he leads his
party, to assist Carson In any methods'
or any means he may take.
"No, I don't expect Home Rule, but
we've got to get Into the fight, Just for
the training. Suppose the Ulster men
come back, trained and equipped where
would we be then?
"Wo haven't any guns. At the end
of the war wo may bo allowed to keep
th.e guns we'vo used.
"It's hard. It's hard. My head tells
mo Redmond Is right, but my heart's not
with him. You can't expect It of an
Irishman,"
Evidently tho powers back of tho revo
lution thought It best to strike during
the great war. Even though tho muti
lated, maltreated Homo Rule bill with
Its amendment should be revived from
tho Statuto books. It riven vorv Utiles
self government to the Irish. Tho most
striking Instances of tho Joker attitude
In the bill are these: The taxes are
levied by England nnd all revenue col
lected Is handed over to England! the
nmount necessary torialntaln Ireland
Is handed over to nn Exchequer Board of
five men, two appointed by the Irish
Parliament, two by the English House
of Commons and tho fifth man Is the
Lord Lleutennnt of Ireland, who Is ap
pointed by the English Crown.
All bills passed by tho House must be
signed by the Lord Lieutenant. As one
Irishman put It, "We'vo got a placo to,,
talk In, nnd that's all.!
Today tho hnnd that holds the purse

Vaguo reports of the revolution are
coming to America. Lord Wlmborno Is
