Miss Father Clew In* of Upland, Neb., visited during the last week a' Boys Rush Vamps to Sorrow of Quiet Girls “Wild” Girls Always Popular, Says Olive—Discour aged—Announces Nice Men Are No More. By MARTHA ALLEN. AN the quiet girl win popu larity?” ;* the not un usual question asked by Olive in her letter. "I mean the kind that would enjoy sn evening at home now and then. At parties even the sim plest boys of the crowd hang around the ‘vamp’ of the evening. What else can you expect? A simple, quiet girl is never overwhelmed with In vitations every night of the week. The more a girt plays around with men these days and gives them what they want the more popular she seems to be. And What girl doesn't like to have a good time and go around a bit?” Now that is only a part of the letter Olive sent to me. The main part of the letter seems bitter in its denouncementof the so-called "vamp.” Perhaps these vamps are not half as bad as girls like Olive would think. Their attraction may be based upon personality, stylish clothes, or gener: ous hearts. Many gif Is can be amus ing without being •‘vampish.” They can be charming without being plain ly alluring, and stimulating without being bold. A clever girl who develops aJl her good points can easily hold her own with the “wild girls.” But she can only do this by keeping herself fre* of envy, bitterness or criticism of the cheap success of the vamp. The best plan of campaign In this battle for the attentions of men would lie to slop watching the enemy ana concentrate on your own tactics. Nothing makes a girl more unattrac tive than a bitter, disappointed atti tude. Tlie girl or woman Who a*ts her lipa and noda knowingly when *he sees some one of whom she does not approve la usually mad to think she couldn't get away with it. Re member the sweet, simple girls are as much sought after as the other kind and aomettmes more so, but certainly not when they are condemn ing those about them. Self confidence Is worth something.

Carpenter, who is now in Greece collecting material for his "World Travel Series.” The library was col lected by Mr. ttennadius, the former minister from Greece to J,ondon. It contains 25,000 volumes, more than 20,000 oth»r items in prints, manu scripts. and photographs, and cost its collector more than $250,000. Mr. Gennadlus evidently thought that the American school would make a bet ter caretaker for it than the Greeks. The American school is now erecting a building to house it, and the Greek government has given the site and passed a special law enabling this to he done. The collection will l>e of great value to historians and archeologists. If the public library he permitted to recommend what ite patrons read, it might suggest solid facts of history for the poetically inclined, romance for readers of history; sociology for the romantic; books of art for the sociologist, philosophy for the artistic; scientific and technical books for the philoaopher and poetry for the scien tist. Perhaps then we might be able the easier to get the other person's viewpoint In these days of miaunder standing among people and nation*. "With all Ihy getting,'' says Solo mon. "get understanding." The pub lic library would keep us from be ing lopsided reader* and thinkers. The “Judgement of (He Storm.” is the first motion picture to be novel ized. The photoplay, which was pro duced by the Palmer Photoplay cor poration, is by Flthel Styles Middleton and the novel by Roy Mason. The set ting of the story is an old Connecti cut! farm w here big nave drudges cheerfully from sunup to sundown to care for his mother, the all but heav enly twins, lighthearted, golden haired Mary and Bob, who go to col lege and spend the small surplus bank account with contemptuous careless ness. The story is concerned with the necessity of making a bitter de cision and a sacrifice. Mailed in by a blinding snowstorm, piling drifts tnd falling tress. Mary's fiance mutt decide w hether to abandon hla mother or to leave the brother of the woman he loves to perish. I,att year a census was taken of preference* in literature among hi* school students.
