WHAT COMPOSES POPULARITY? Why Is One Girl Sought After While Others Are Wall flowers ? What makes for popularity? Why Is Lucy sought after by all the men of her acquaintance while Janet is a wall-flower at home and abroad? Why has Tony only to enter a room to have a crowd of admiring women | surround him while John is lucky | if he can persuade one girl to give j him two consecutive dances and a j * small section of her divided atten tion? The individual who could seize popularity by its fluttering wings, Imprison it, examine it under the | mioroscope, and decide definitely just; what atoms made it up would be the | high priestess of humar. happiness, j I fear that I am not quite qualified ; for that position. But I do believe j that almost any sane older woman can stand off and get enough of a perspective on the causes for popu larity to offer a fairly good work ing hypothesis as to Its whys and wherefores. Beauty and charms are the glit tering generalities which are used to explain popularity. Of course, beauty is the first lure wherewith to charm. It is like the letter of in troduction—definitely there to see and understand. It B-.ves you a start. Good looks attract, but they do not hold. No one would want to spend 'hours or days or weeks in gazing at a magnificent statue; and cold physical perfection is likelv to prove as tiring for a steady vision to would a mere statue. It is life, ani mation and sweetness which vitalizes beauty and gives it charm. Volumes on Charm And charm—what volumes have been written about it and how it still eludes us like the fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Here are some of the" things which charm Is not and which by their mere presence destroy charm: Self consciousness: stinginess in expena lngpersonalityof purse, self-centcred ness; uncouth rudeness; the sort of frankness which blurts out unneces sary and painful facts: a desire to occupy the center of the stage and force other people from it, and swollen conceit. No one yet possessed charm un less he or she had an honest desire to give pleasure to others. Recently I met a young woman who managed to look startlingly unattractive and yet to suggest real possibilities of beauty. Her clothes were all of the wrong type—badly chosen as to color and cut. She was a newcomer In town, and the people who met her felt that if it were not for the very . bad impression her vivid, over-trim med clothes gave, she might be an attractive looking girl. In fear and trembling an older woman said to her one day: "My dear, when you get your new spring clothes. I'd love to go with you. 11 know some wonderful dressmakers I and tailors who do things at reason- I able prices—and I'd love to help ! choose." A slow flush came over the girl's face. "Evidently you don't like my ' things," she said quietly. The older woman stumbled a lit- ! tie—there was an awkward moment | In which the three or four people j who were nresent almost disliked I the girl in their instinctive rallying j to the support of the older woman who had blundered and given offense j when she meant to be kind. An Example And then, the girl saved the day. j ■ In quite the sweetest and most gra- j cious manner possible, she turned to I all of us and throwing out her hands , In a little gesture of acceptance, she ] cried: "Make me pretty. I've always struggled around trying to reach beauty, and I didn't know how. You j people, have such wonderfully good taste, and I'm sure with Mrs. X to lead and the rest of you to help, there's a working chance for that beauty I've been running around after. Here's your raw material— now I challenge you to make good!" All of us felt a flood of love for the young girl who had accepted criticism, unasked advice and inter ference so graciously. And in that very attitude, there lay the essence of self-forgetfulness and the sweet ness which makes for charm. Poise, self-control, good temper— all of these go to make up mental health and to add to physical health. And now, we have wandered far enough about our circle and come hack to our starting point—popu larity. Do you suppose that anyone who was clean and sweet and physically pleasant and who added thereto amiability and self-forgetfulness could help winning real friendship and honest regard? Do you suppose that the applause of the multitude Is ever as worth while as the honest approbation of two or three who know and under stand? If popularity means having seven "bids" to the commencement dance at your high school, or having six ■women "phone and ask you to Sun day night tea, or being invited to join five clubs, or having to divide your dances among four clamoring men, you want something which isn't worth having, and which I certainly •wouldn't devote a morning and two columns of a newspaper to discuss , lng! Popularity like that is cheap— it leads nowhere, and it can begin from almost anything. Good looks may buy it, or the ability to talk rather well, or generosity in flinging your money around may win it, or a certain group of people may stam pede after you because their leader has started the fad for your society. Anyone who desires the popular ity which means the excitement of having a mob of people run after him socially, wants to gobble up a big box of sweets, and I have no intention of taking the responsibil ity for the indigestion of heart and soul and body which are bound to follow. Popularity like that leads to an Impasse, a blind alley. It means cul tivating many instead of one; it nec essitates diffusing yourself over too big a territory, and failing to con centrate on people and things which might matter. The girl of many partners at a dance is likely never to settle down to a life partner; or t if she does, she may choose all wrong! The man of many dinner invitations is sadly liable to go on enjoying other people's housekeep ing and lazily to postpone setting up a house of his own until it is too late. But the right sort of popularity —which means honest regard from a few real friends, sympathy from individuals who appreciate your good points and allow for your bad ones, can be won even If you fall to possess beauty or that elusive thing called "charm." To win popularity, you have to be a giver, not a mere selfish taker. You must contribute something to society—sympathy, Interest, good na ture, radiant Interest in all that Is going on around you and intelligent effort toward doing your share In the social game. What You Can Do Tf you cannot be a brilliant con versationalist, be a good listener; if t,you arc not witty, be amiable; if FRIDAY EVENING, you have not vivid animation, culti vate pleasant Interest in all that froes on around you; if you are not the magnetic sort toward whom ev eryone gravitates, try to oe gracious toward those who do turn to you. Not In saying brilliant things, nor in holding the center of the stage, nor in being the desired of all ob servers lies real popularity. But in being the sort of sane, restful, sym pathetic person who can be relied on to hold up h'.s end of a friendship Or an acquaintance or a jnere social in terlude, lies everyone's chance.

Shipfitters Are Much Needed by Government The United States Civil Service Commission is engaged in a special effort to secure shipfitters. The work of building ships has been delayed, owing to inability to secure the re. quired number of men. The commission has announced that on filing satisfactory evidence boiler makers who have a good knowledge of laying out work and have had ex perience as a layer-out and who can work from drawings will be employed as first-class shlpfltters and will be given every opportunity to demon strate their adaptability for shlpflt ters' work. Their employment at the at the maximum rate will be with the understanding that If after a fair trial they are unable to do the work of a first-class shlpfltter they will be rerated at a lower rate of pay In ac cordance with ability shown and that they will again be advanced to the first-class rating when they become capable of doing the work. A first-class shlpfltter should be JULY 20, 1917. able to read and work from line drawings which may or may not be detailed. The drawings or blueprints used in shlpflttlng work y 6 much smaller than Is usual In brfdgework, carwork, boilerwork or plate-metal work. He should be able to lay out the plates separately from molds or templates. It is essential that he know the necessary rivet spacing for ordinary strength, watertight or oil tight work. A first-class shlpfltter should have knowledge of the several trades in connection with hla work, aucb ei riveter, chipper and c&lker, driller, flange turner, puncher and shearer, and acetylene operator. Application for 1,800 can be secured from the secretary, board of exam* iners, at the post office.
