Personal Magnetism a Great Asset.

There have been great advocates at the bar whose charming manner, like the presence In court of some of the world’s famous beauties, would so sway the jury and the judge as to endanger and sometimes actually divert justice, says Orison Swett Marden <n Success Magazine. A gracious, genial presence, a charming personality, a refined, fascinating manner are welcome where mere beauty Is denied and where mere wealth Is turned away. They will make a better Impression than the best education or the highest attainments. An attractive personality, even without great ability, often advances one when great talent and special training will not. There Is always a premium upon a charming presence. Every business man likes to be surrounded by people of pleasing personality and winning manners. They are regarded as splendid assets. What Is it that often enables one person to walk right Into a position and achieve without difficulty that which another with perhaps greater ability, struggles in vain to accomplish? Everywhere a magnetic personality wins its way.; Young men and young women are constantly being surprised by offers of excellent positions which? come to them because of qualities and characteristics which,, perhaps, they have never thought much about—a fine manner, courtesy, cheerfulness and kindly, obliging, helpful dispositions. No woman’s hair is as long hanging down her back as it looffs to be in the wad on top of her head.
