The Art of Being Liked
By DOROTHY DIX.
Wnui'' liko to b popularT TVouM
you lih bo one of thos fortunat
peop'r vhone comlnff evpry eye
hrtBhtenM, overj' Hp curl Into ..smile,
vry hun4 goes spontaneously out In
friendship?
Of cour you would. The rpl, neret,
jinlTprsal desire of the human heart Is
for popnlarlty. and If some good fairy
should offer us ' our greatest wish we
should ask for the power to win the ad
miration of our fellow creatures.
But, you say, you are not one of the
lucky few who are born with a Certifi
cate to the Lodge of Good fellowship In
thfrtt mouths, so to speak. Further, you
opine that the art of being a heart
smasner is one. tnat comes oy nature,
and not by grace, and that popularity's
middle name Is really personal magnet
ism, which the gods give, or withhold,
and for whose possession or lack the In
dividual la in no wise responsible.
To a degree this la true. Why ' some
people draw to them every one with Whom
they come In contact can no more be
explained than why the magnet attracts
gun, hi dogs, his game of golf, and
how he could have saved the president
from jnaklng some mortifying mistakes If
only he had been consulted.
Recall the way your heart goea down
Into the very heels of y6ur' slippers when
some woman comes to spend a long af
ternoon with you In order to relate to
you all of her private affairs
Reflect upon your agony, as shn di
lated upon what she said to her husband,
her husband said to her, and her hue
band's mother said to both of them, and
her own mother said to all three of them.
Remember the weariness with which you
listened to the account' of all her tribu
lation with servant girls of every na
tionality of earth..
Forget the endless string of anecdotes
concerning the infant phenomena that In
habit her urscry, nor cease to remem
ber the lurid descriptions that ah e.v
of her encounters with butcher, and baJcef
and dressmaker.
Or, perchance, the woman that you
dread most, and whose- visits are equal
to a spell of sickness, is the woman

EGOTIST." i
the needle. Undoubtedly there are people
po tseed of an aJmeirt hypnotic power
over us, whom we like In spite of our
Mires, and often against our better Judg
ment, They have a -way with them that
we find It Impossible to resist, even
thoagh we may disapprove of them to
the highest degree.
These strangely gifted mortals are,
however, tn a very small minority. They
are ahneet as scares as hen's teeth) and
for the most of our acquaintances we
conM assign a very clear reason as to
why ws Mke or dillke them. -

great Joy, for it shows that ths secret
of popularity Is not In the middle of the
Sphinx, as many suppose, but is simply
an svery-day art at which even the most
bungling of us thay become reasonably
expert If we devote a little Intelligent
time and work to It.
But how shall ws go about learning
this charming accomplishment of being
who comes to see you to pour out her
tale of woe, and who simply slops up
your parlor floor with her tears. Bhe has
divorced her husband, or had trouble
with her children, or lost her money,
or quarreled with her sweetheart' or
gained forty pounds in flesh. All' are
afflictions with which you have nothing
to do, and which you can't help, but
you've got to listen to them not once, but
a hundred times, " for Borrow Is a sweet
morsel that such a woman rolls under
her tongue and never swrllowa and gets
done with.
And to gat the full flavor of It she has
to hold up some long suffering sister and
share Its bitterness with her.
Now in this world It Is written that for
very good thing we get we must pay a
corresponding price. If you want to be
popular, if you want to be liked. If you
want to have people glad to see you, are
you willing to deny yourself the v a'
talking about yourself? That's the first
'NOR DOES ANYONE PINE TO SPEND A JOYOIS HOUR BEING SOAKED IS
YOUR TEARS."
Hind, you ak? Suppose, you take your,
self as a standard of the individual to be
p'.ea-eil, because all human nature Is cut
off the came bolt of cloth, and the things
that pieaue you are pretty sure te please
uther people and the things that get on
your n.Tves are likewise the things that
Taok -other people's nerves.
To bexln with, what Is the one par
ticular quality In another person that
makes you want to take to the tall tim
ber when you s-e lilm or her coming?
Eot;ti.m! ,
There Is nothing ele under the sun
that Is so afi'llctlng. as unendurable. Bath
ing (hat bores with the bore of a forty-
inch auger, as the man or woman who
: does a monologue about lils or her ln-
dividual affairs.
Reflect, beloved, on the murderous feel
. Ings with which you sit up and listen to
1 the man who discourses, hour after hour,
' about his business, his automobile, his
step to popularity.
Do you suppose, if you are a man, that
anybody wants to. hear you talk about
yourself? That any human being, unl
It's your mother or your wife, wauls te
hear the details of your success In busi
ness, or cares three raps whether yon
have got a Tweedle-de-dum 30, or
Tweedia-de-dum automobile?
If you sre a woman do you support
that any other woman Is any mure keen
to hear the smart thlnKS your children
say than you are to hear ubuut hers, ir
ti.at she takes the slightest intercut in
your troubles with your servants? Nor
dues anyone plno to spend a Joyous hour
being soaked in your tears, any more
tban you yearn to be pickled down in
their wee.
Jiutt mark this down the first aid to
popularity Is te quash you; ttti effj'
down under an Iron heel.
