Anagraph. NNA, at the Zoo, would wander In the spooky snake-house yonder; Pausing in the place to ponder, Anna conned an auaconda. George Alison, How to Be Popular. A PPEAR happy even if you are not. + Happiness is never out of place except at funerals. Even then itis better to check it with your coat at the door than to leave it at home. If you have a stroke of luck see that an account of it is thoroughly circulated. The reputation of being lucky is a powerful magnet if you want a large following of friends. Wear an air of prosperity at all times, even while availing yourself of the bank- ruptcy law. No one (except your creditors) will think less of you for looking prosperous at such a time. One of the most important requisites to attain popularity is to dress well. Your jewels may be imitation but you must have a good tailor. Few can tell the real from the false in the matter of gems, but even a “Buttons ” will sneer at your back if your coat has not the proper cut. When you converse let it be lightly about nothing in particular. Remarks that indi- cate deep thought, sincere sentiment or strong feeling are bad form and won't be tolerated by fashionable people. If you don’t know how to talk without saying something, learn how to listen effectively. There are always plenty of people ready to be enrolled among the friends of a good listener. In short, the happier and luckier and more prosperous you seem, the better dressed you are, and the less you say, the more friends you will have. Francesca di Maria. “ALL THE WORLD'S 4 STAGE,” ETC.
