IF YOU WOULD BE POPULAR.

You want to bo popular? Very well, then. Gather round.

1. Don’t imagine that anyone wants to hear about your troubles or pains. 'Urey don’t. (The'y’d rather tell you about their own, and they’ll love you if you listen sympathetically.) 2. Don’t try to impress people. For the ones who might he so impressed are rarely worth knowing, and the folks who are worth while will see your game and fight shy of you.

3. Don’t argue. Discuss and remember that everyone has the same right to their opinions that yon have to yours. 4. Don’t grumble. It depresses people, and they won’t seek your company if von depress them.

, 5. Try to see things from other people’s point of view. It’s quite simple if you have arv imagination at all. 6. Cultivate a cheery attitude of mind. Cheery people are our social sunbeams. Sit on yonr worries and smile. People will smile back at. you, and you will foal all the better for it.

7. Don’t be drawn into quarrelling. It’s undignified. Keep away from the people to whom yon cannot adapt yourself, or who cannot adapt themselves to .you. It makes for peace. 8. Don’t say spiteful things about your friends to anyone. For your hearers will catalogue the fact in their minds and know that yon~are not to be trusted.

9. Widen your interests. Get away from little personal chatter. Its nearly always critical and destructive. 10. Love all you can. Learn all you can. Help all you can. M.M.A., in ‘Home Chat.’
