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.

Tells How Cuticura
Healed Pimples
“ I was troubled with pimple* on
my (ace and arm*. They were real
hard, large and red, ana
festered and scaled over.
The scales were large and
hard,and Itched and burned
continually, causing me to
scratch until the eruptions
bled. My face waa so badly
d is figured that I looked
terrible, and my clothing irritated
the breaking out and made it worse.
“ I read an advertisement for Cu
ticura Soap and Ointment and sent
for a free sample. I purchased more,
and after using four cakes of Cuti
cura Soap and four boxes of Cuti
cura Ointment 1 was healed.”

| Library Chats
The largest and best private Greek
library of the world Is now in pos
session of the American School of
Archaeology at Athens, writes Frank
G. 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
