charming
you that nice compliment someone paid you last week.
The girl with poise has not spent all her time preparing for this .evening in thinking about what the party is going to do for her. She has devoted a good hunk of her time to thinking out in advance what she could contribute to the party’s success.
Some people seem to be born with poise. They’re the lucky ones. Most of us have to acquire it for ourselves. It’s not easy. But it can be done once you know what it is you are after.
Basically, poise is a faculty for putting yourself in the' other person’s shoes — accenting the “you” over the “I” in your conversation. It’s also a lack of fear, an assurance and confidence in yourself which — in one of those queer paradoxes which make psychology so fascinating — expresses itself in a playing down of self, and a playing up of real interest in and concern for the other fellow.
The girl with poise thinks, “I feel wonderful” and she says, “You look wonderful.” She thinks, “I’m having fun.” She shows it by indicating that “You interest me. You’re making this a memorable evening.”
“I like you” is what she radiates. And you respond by liking her.
If you’re shaky in the poise department, plan for it with just as much care as you plan your party hair-do. Or the costume you’re going to wear.
If you’re shy — and some of the nicest and brightest ( Confd on page 86)
YOU MAY raise temperature
as the office siren — but watch out for the boss’s blood pressure!
STOP SQUINTING — glasses are no handicap to the girl who knows how to wear ’em
