COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE. WOMEN. BY ONE . OF THEM. How To Become Populare—lllliere is no royal road to popularity. You must not only be all things to all men. but—— quilc another requirement~to all women. A good thing on starting out 10 be popular is to imitate as far as possible the methods of some one already popular. This general rule cannol. however, be made to do duty upon particular oc- casions, and it will be well for you, therefore, to pay attention to the fol— lowing rules: Always laugh at a JOkC; sometimes, it is true, you mav not be able to recognize it as a joke, and there are cases, of course, when to laugh at the wrong place is worse than saying the wrong thing, but a sort of general- ly beaming countenance. with a readi- ness to laugh rather than not to laugh. will bridge many a moment of dubious joviality. You will soon find the biggest bores referring to you as a “person of great appreciation” and “such a sense of hu- mor.” Caution in having opinions of your own is to be observed. Opinions you may have, all right enough, but they must, first of all, be flexible, con- forming with gutta-percha variability to the opinions of those with whom you may happen to be talking. This may at first sound impractical, not to say insincere, but there’s no surer way to insure that all-round pop- ularity which to the bigot inclined to but one view of a subject is forever de- nied. So much for conversation; with regard to conduct, less caution is nec— essary. Flattery is, of course, . your chief stock in trade, but be careful to employ S it artistically; Nobody save the un- skilful amateur flatters nowadays by word of mouth. The implied compli- ment, by look or action, is the latter day development of the art, and rarely does it fail to hit the mark. If you must flatter verbally, however, do it indirectly, laying the little bit of soft soap necessary to your schemes-— though quite in confidence—before some one who may be relied upon to carry it straight to its true object. This does not mean, however, that you are never to gratify yourself by saying disagreeable things about per- sons. You may do this to your heart’s content, only being particular to say them to those whose reputation for ver- acity is such that, no matter how often they repeat what you have said, nobody will believe it. There used to be another way by which you could say the meanest kind of things about an individual behind her back and yet feel that you were expiating it all by adding: “But, after all, she’s a good hearted thing; there’s no denying that she’s good hearted.” But this scheme has been so very much overworked that few are deceived by it nowadays, and any past mistress in the art of becoming popular w‘ould scorn to use it. Just the assumption of popularity works wonders toward securing the real thing. Many a person who hasn’t quite made up her mind whether she likes you or not is sure to be influenced by your oft-repeated assertions of how devoted others are to you and by prac- tical proofs—supplied, of course, by you—of that devotion. Having attained/a certain popularity, however elemental, for yourself, at once begin to pick flaws in the popular- ity of others. Point out how insecure and unstable is their hold upon public favor, not hesitating to compare it with your own. Once sure of an even limited following, your game is then to decry all those who don’t follow you. The following rule, you will find, is the life axiom of all those who have at- tained true popularity—never admit the good qualities of any one who has the bad taste not to have placed her— self on your list of idolators. cl—Sy guy/(fez (L/ 'ggixc 4004’» ~ Volcanic Eruptions Are grand, but Skin Eruption; rob life of joy.

No one questions a man's standing when he is in a street car. The mental strain at this time is nothing to the financial strain. D A man of SI) can be honestly called under age—isn’t he burdened with years? Experience is all right as a teacher, but she has some awfully stupid pupils. A personal interview is always much more satisfactory than a note, but how many women have the courage to ac- cept the former. chat 2 , Overheard on street: “Johnnie don't want no doll baby, he wants a injine.” When a man is ill he feels that it is necessary for the whole world to be up- set with. him. Of course you will give away just what you want and be given things you absolutely hate. Let a man make the dressing for a s'llad or fuss over a chafing—dish and he will feel perfectly happy. Theperson without a home and loved ones at Christin-is time wishes the fes- tival crme no oftener than once in ten years.

The hollow checks, the sunken eyes. the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician. would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate Often, or a burning or scalding in passing it: if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling, as if it must at once be repeated, or if the urine has abrick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present,no time should be lost in removing the cause. ' Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation. causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
