thing to Irani the secret of popularity. Can you help me find out what it is? LEFT OUT. nun Answer —Hundreds of good-look-ing girls like yourself sit at home and wonder what is the matter with them. All around them their girl friends make merry but the girl who is left out of things complains that nothing ever happens to her. What is that certain something that other girls have in abundance but which she so obviously lacks? The lonely girl expects her life to be given to her; the popular girl makes her own life by her vigorous attack on it. Every girl who is popular has at least three qualities which she uses to good effect: A winning personality, sex appeal and a zest for living. The dictionary defines personality as that which distinguishes or characterizes a person. The personalities which leave their imprint on the group in which they move have a genius for being interested in others. To inspire interest in yourself. you must first be interested in something outside yourself. Those with a knack of making other people feel important never lack for friends. Almost every person carries the painful germ of insecurity in his breast. No matter what his pretenses are, underneath them all he feels a hunger for significance, a desire to be recognized and appreciated. to be accepted by his group as a person of consequence. Those who succeed in making him feel important are the ones he calls friend. Sex appeal is more difficult to catalog. It has been defined by one writer simply as the power of one person to love another. A zest for living comes from a feeling of enthusiasm for experience. Th nopular girl has the ability to enjoy the smallest things and expresses warm appreciation for the slightest favors. Because she thinks the world around her is wonderful, the world thinks she is wonderful, too. A friendly manner, a bubbling enthusiasm, a keen in-

terest in people and events marks the popular girl. No one is drawn by lips that never smile, by eyes that never shine, by tongues that never speak. Such girls are drab, colorless. They have no sparkle, no tension, no lure. These are the girls that boys call “flat tires.” Their self-esteem is low, their interest in others, tepid. They never burn for or against anything. In a word, they are simply thoroughly discouraged people. GIRL SCOUTS TO APPEAR IN PLAY Girl Scouts are to present a play, “Convincing Dad,” before the Kiw’anis Club Wednesday at the Columbia Club. The play is directed by Mrs. R. C. Hiller, and is to include 15 girls. Final rehearsal is to be held at 10 Tuesday in Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church. The Kiwanis Club has donated money to be used for an addition to the hospital building at Dellwood. official Scout summer camp.

Feminine Sex Given New Role Important Part in History Played by Women, Says Writer. BY RUTH FINNEY WASHINGTON. April 2.—Women, they say, have never left their mark in history. But if they say it in the presence of Mary Ritter Beard they are stopped right there and taught a few things about the past. Mrs. Beard says the reason women don’t appear in history is because men wrote the histories and chose to write them about themselves. From the earliest times women have influenced the march of civilization as much as men—have done all the things men did and others as well, she says. And she should know, for as a historian she has dug deeply into records of the past. Women in America are as ignorant as men about the great past of women, it seems, but in European countries this is not true. “Something happened to American women to make them feel like little girls, instead of adults,” Mrs. Beard says. Blames Break With Past “It was partly the break with the past made when this country was settled, and it was partly formal education as we know it in the United States. “Women have gone to school to men and have learned about men. “To be great one must live in the shadow of greatness. Earlier women did so live. But under the sway of formal history writing and teaching in our day, only men are supposed to have cast the shadows which inspire greatness. The height of woman’s ambition thus becomes the desire to attain heights reached by men—heights set by men in the histories of men.” It was not until the nineteenth century was weii advanced that a beginning was made in teaching history at all, Mrs. Beard points out. She herself was the first historian to put women into a history textbook—first one for grammar schools and then one for high schools. Today not one school or college in the United States has an integrated course on women in history, she says. Mrs. Beard intends to change all this. Her first step looks toward collection of facts about women. She has launched a movement to establish a World Center for Women’s Archives, in New York City. Records Thrown Away “Women, when they grow old, throw away the records of their activities or store them in attics,” says Mrs. Beard. “They are supposed to have no value. “I learned, for instance, that Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt was planning to discard her papers. She thought her work was done and that there was no reason for keeping them. “At Chapel Hill, where the University of North Carolina has begun collecting every kind of paper on the South, the records of women’s activities, picked up from one private family after another ,have given us an entirely new picture of the South. We have always thought of the Southern woman as the sheltered creature, chivalrously cared for by her men and absorbed in nothing but her home. We find from these papers that Southern women en-

Party Aid

Campbell, president, is to preside. gaged in more enterprises, both public and private, than Northern women. “In the interest of historic truth, and in part for the dignity of women, factual data covering the past century, must be rescued from oblivion.” The consciousness of this need has already made the Library of Congress here, the New York Public Library and other institutions anxious to receive such material, Mrs. Beard says. But she believes it must be kept separate, in a home of its own. Women’s records, she thinks, must be dramatized to this extent, to emphasize the different treatment they have had in the past and their newly recognized importance. “The impulse behind this movement is not a desire to ‘gang up’ on men but to resist and prevent the formation or attempted formation of public opinion by historians and essayists who have in fact ‘ganged up’ on women by excluding them from the social picture, or presenting a false and one-sided picture based on insufficient facts and inaccurate knowledge,” says Mrs. Beard.
