I think the nicest engagement ring I have ever heard of belongs to a little girl in Boston. Her fiance didn't have much money, but he had a lot of originality. The ring he gave her was a blue stone in the shape of a heart, bound with a heart of small diamonds. In the center was a forget-menot in diamonds — a heart within a heart — forget-me-not. "INCIDENTALLY, this girl's engagement ' was the happy conclusion to a very miserable time in her life. The girl first started writing to me a long time ago and her letters were extremely unhappy. It seems she had but one determination in life — to be popular. The night before she went to a party, she'd lie awake thinking up clever and amusing things to say. In spite of all this, she would be rushed for a short while and then be dropped. She was at a loss to understand it. "While corresponding with her, I found out a great deal about the girl. I discovered her sense of humor had a satiric tinge and was made at the expense of friends. Naturally, they not only got tired of this, but also found it very wearing competing with her socalled "smart repartee." After all, who wants to be bothered thinking up clever remarks at a wienie roast? "Finally, I was able to make the girl realize that she was just alienating people by her attitude. I wrote and told her to be herself. You know, naturalness is really the keynote to a winning personality. I told her that a sure way for her to become popular with the boys was to take an interest in the things they were doing. There's not a man in this world who doesn't appreciate a good listener. On the other hand, if there's anything a boy hates, it's to have a girl get possessive and dictatorial. "This girl took my advice — something that, in this case, I'm afraid I couldn't have done myself — for the girl became interested in a boy who was an amateur magician. Watching a boy perform his tricks day in and day out would have bored me to death, but my young friend turned her boy friend's talent to a good use. She gave a magic party. The invitations were written across playing cards, he performed all his favorite tricks and every game they played had something to do with magic. "The cost of the entire thing was little: and the net result was that the girl, in giving this party, wiped out all the ment she had created against herself. Everyone had a good time and her tend adored her more than ever. "That young lady. I'm sure, will never ii be lonely. I have what I think is a sure cure for a blue mood, provided you go at it wholi lly. When I be gin to feel blue, I just busy myself foi the next twenty-four hours doing things for other people and at the end of that time my own troubles disappear. It really works. "I'VE often thought of the man ' who go to a city all alone to lool work. It's not a pleasant thing to be in a place where you don't know a soul, I. ui even loneliness can be made profitable I know ol in which this loneliness was really the foundation for future suci i "There was a girl who was employed as a clerk in a lai i di parttore in one ol our leading metropShe had come to the city in search of work from a small town. II. nun: no friends in the city, she was forced to live .elf. "She was terribly lonesome and, foi 98 want of something with which to occupy herself, constantly fixed over her wardrobe, particularly her hats. In search of ideas she often spent some of her lunch hour wandering through the millinery department of the store in which she worked. In doing so, she made the acquaintance of one of the assistant buyers. It was at the buyer's suggestion that she enrolled in a millinery class at a public night school. The girl became intensely interested in her work and her lonely hours were taken care of. In the course of time, she turned out an original model which attracted the attention of the buyer. "This resulted in her being transferred to that department, where she was given an opportunity to learn the business. Today, she has her own exclusive establishment in the same city where she was once a lonely, unknown girl. "My advice to girls who find time hanging heavy on their hands is to take inventory of themselves. Find out what you want to do in life. Once you have found and set a definite goal, keep it always before you. "The only way to success in whatever vocation a girl may choose is to learn everything and anything about her profession that she can. The feeling that she has this knowledge should give her assurance and poise, but she should never at any time flaunt it. People instinctively despise a 'smart aleck.' THIS is particularly true in a girl's business life. Of course, whenever she can, it is a good idea to make tactful suggestions to one's employer. They, however, should never be made in such a way as to give the impression she is telling him how to run his business. Courtesy under any circumstances should always be practiced. "Let me tell you a story a friend of mine told me recently, about some newlyweds. Her husband is city editor of a large newspaper. One of his reporters recently married a young society girl. Naturally she was well out of the realm of the crowd that her husband had been used to associating with. The boy unfortunately allowed incidents about many prominent people he had met through his wife creep into his conversation. His pals promptly took to razzing him. The editor's wife, taking in the situation, felt sorry for the young man and his bride. In order to give the bride a chance to meet and really know her husband's pals she gave a party in their honor. She hoped it would result in the reporter's wife being accepted as one of the crowd, but. unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. All through dinner the young man and his bride held hands. Afterwards, seating themselves in a far corner of the room, they billed and cooed all evening, absolutely ignoring their hostess and her guests. A demonstration of rudeness which I think was unforgivable and which certainly did not help the husband's care "Many girls have written me asking what I consider the most important thing in life. I have come to believe that the most important thing in life is to be a success as a person. Live and let live, Don't go around criticizing your fellow man: if you can't say something nice ■ him, say nothing.
