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 . "REFLECT ON THE JfEELJNGB WITH WHICH TOU LISTEN TO THE MALE 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. - jq iniB, ii mwui& uj me, ins minis ok 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?

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.
