Show RULES FOR GIRLS WHO WOULD I EE POPULAR. . . i a 1. Remember that a good voice is as essential to self-possession as good ideas are essential to fluent language. The voice should be carefully trained and developed. A full, clear, flexible voice is one of the surest signs of good breeding. 2. Remember that one may be witty without being popular; talkative and yet a great bore. 3. Be sincere. One who habitually sneers at everything, not only rendera herself disagreeable to others, but will Boon cease to find pleasure in life.'. 4. Be cheerful. If you have no great troubles on your mind you have nc right to render other people miserable by your long face and dolorous tones. If you do you will be generally avoided. 5. Be amiable. You may hide a vindictive vin-dictive nature under a polite exterior for a time, as a cat masks its sharp flaws in velvet fur, but the least prov-" ocatlon brings out one as quickly as s , the other and ill-natured people are alJ !j ways disliked. 6. Be charitable in your conversation. Persons of the female sex are generally put down as great talkers, and that j little organ called the tongue is a very ! dangerous weapon. Gossip Town is a dangerous place and contains many dangerous shoals such as "Falsehood" l ay, "Don't Care" cape. "Mind, Don't You Tell" point, "I Heard" breaker, etc. Speak in kindness and charity of others as you would like others to speak of you. Never forget the golden rule of charity at all times fend in all places. Catholic Chronicle. |
