PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX.
Is Popularity Worth Having?
Dear Miss Fairfax: Is it worth
while (or me to l>e popular at tlie
cost of all my ideals and theories? 1
am not good looking: I'm not clever
I'm just an average business girl
And I like to keep my self-respect
But since I don’t drink or smoke m
wear flossy clothes the men don't
| bother with me. The other night i
went to a little dinner, and just for I
'un 1 wore one iff tlie hostess' dresses.
And I drunk u cocktail, and let the
man next to me at table hold my
hand for « minute.
Honestly. I didn't do anything off
color, but' I kind of hinted T might.
A'nd 1 made a hit. 1 went home and
cried myself to sleep, thinking how
easy it is to be popular if 1 could just
get rid of my ideals. I don't want to
sit home night after night and he
lonely. Which seems to you the wise
choice for me to make’ KT11KJ,.
Neither, my dear. Vou are limit
ing your Hioire to alternatives w hic h
simply dorvU exist.
J'ou didn’t have a good time be
cause your dress was rut two inches
lower than usual, nor y a be* m?
you drank a thimbleful of something
forbidden by our laws. Xnr did th*'
touch of your hand against your
dinner partner's set In motion any
electric force guaranteed to turn you
into a belle ai a moment's notice.
Hut you believed that you were at
l’ active because you had on an at
tractive dress and drank and smoked
and behaved a bit differently from
your usual custom.

Why should you have bo much
more confident* in a drees than in an
Veager, interested way of meeting
folks?
Next time you go to a party, B’art
nut with confidence. It a dress, a
cocktail, a touch of the fingers ar.d a
cigaret can make for popularity—
surely a little interest, a glow of
eagerness, a friendly spirit, a kindling
mind and an unselfish desire to please
can't fail of equal potency.
Popularity is not worth while at
the cost of (tour ideals. Even If you
could get it that way, it wouldn't be
well grounded nor lasting, for the
real you would be in conflict with the
false and you couldn t be easy, natural
or gracious.
The way to real popularity is to
electrify your best self by interest in
other folks. Stop worrying over the
effect you produce on folks and ex
press in all warmth and honesty the
effect they produce on you and the
interest they njake you feel. Give out
friendliness and kindness and you'll
win them in turn.
Why Not Apologize?
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am in love
with a young man. but we had a mis
understanding. From the way I spoke
to him I guess he took it for granted
I didn't care. He had a party lately
and didn't invite me. Do you think
he did the right thing? I know he
cares for me, an he told me so often.
Do you think I should wait for him
to apologize, or should I call him up
first? PEGGY.
If you really'rare for the man and
feel that your actions indicated the
opposite of this, why not call him up
w ith no more self consciousness than
you Would show in telephoning to a
woman friend with whom you had a
misunderstanding which you felt was
largely your fault?
The Bashful Bo: The young lady
will undoubtedly have another escort.
I suggest that you Invite her to go
with you as well as l* return. If you
can get her alone somewhere without
making the act conspicuous, I should
think that would he best. Hut you
could ask her very nicefy under cover
of the games. Perhaps you could
persuade her to sit out a danee with
you and ask her then. The best plan
of all, however, is to escort her to the
party as w'ell as home from it. Y’our
pseudonym is usually spelled beatr.
Thankful: The dictionary defines
twins as "a pair'' so a pair of twins,
or pairs, would most certainly he four.
I know it is a common expression but
it is not correct.
C.M.T.C. Men Not
Obliged to Serve
Attendance at Camp Not Im
plied Promise to Join
Army, Says Officials.
The War department, in offering
the free Citizens' Military Training
ramps to the young men of the coun
try, does not require them to obli
gate themselves for military service,
it was stated by army officials yes
terday.
The basic red course, for men with
no previous military service, and the
advanced red course, do not constitute
any present or future contract of en
listment in the army of the L'nlted
States.
The white course is for graduate*
of the advanced red tours'*, or se
lected citizens who have had military
service equivalent thereto, who in
dicate their willingness to s'-rve at
some future time, an enlistment in
the army of the l'nlted States.
The blue course provides training
for selected warrant officers and en
listed men of the regular army, na
tional guard and enlisted men s re
serve corps, fitting them for service
as second lieutenant*.
In signing the application blanks to
attend the camp the young man
makes no contract which will hind
him to attendance. If unforeseen cir
cumstances render it advisable, he is
at perfect liberty to withdraw his ap
plication at any time. An early fil
ing of the application will, however,
insure his being selected for these'
free summer camps.
The camps in the seventh corps area
will be held from August 1 tc
August 30. at Fort Snelllng, Minn .
Fort Lies Moines. Ia.. and Fort Dear
enworth, Kan. Young men between
17 and 34 are eligible and everything
is provided free, including railroad
fare, food, lodging, uniforms, equip
ment, medical and dental treatment.
For full Information one may ap
ply to the Ideal representative of the
Military Training Camps association
at "a railroad station or postoflice. or
write to M»j. Gen. George B. Duncan,
