*Rather To Be Chosen Than
Have Greater Riches *
BY WINIFRED BLACK
Be honest
Be good natured.
Be industrious.
Be clever.
But above all things, have personality
That’s the important thing. Or so J. R. Hum

And now rises a gentleman from Egypt end cays
that beauty is made up of twenty-five per cent
figure, ten per cent complexion, twenty-five per
cent features, and forty per cent personality.
Yes. gentlemen, you are both right. And anyone
who goes shopping or buys tickets or frequents a
beauty parlor knows that you are right. Personali
ty—that’s the thing.
And what is personality? W’ell now you tell me.
I'm like the boy who forgot the answer in the ge
ography class—I know but I can't tell you about it.
_ There's a girl who acted so queer about the bath
WINIFRED KiArk mg suits the ^her day. . . .
8he didn't want to show us a single suit. She just stood and looked
at us and never took out a single thing except what was right there in
plain sight. And she had a whole stack of drawers full of bathing suits—
I looked over her shoulder and saw them.
No. she wasn't cross, she wasn't)
impudent, she was just dull, that's
all.
At the next shop a pretty little
girl with a turned-up nose and
straggly eyebrows—oh. yes, she was
pretty just the same, she had a
smile and a way with her—showed
us every bathing suit in the place
and we bought what we really didn't
want just to please her.
The only way to get at anything
with the first girl would be to knock
her down and tie her up somewhere
and then go through the stock your
self. Yet I suppose she will spend a

Miss Mary Frances Marchbanks

good part of her life wondering why
she is never promoted.
I know two girls who are starting
into partnership in a little knick
knack business at a summer resort.
One of them has a little money and
lots of common sense and the other
one has personality. Neither of
them could do very much alone but
together—listen to the chink of the
silver dollars rolling in.
Personality — charm — I'd rather
have it than all the money or all
the beauty in the world. It will
take you farther than beauty and
pay your bills just as well as in
herited money.

natives of the central Congo in

story revealing the conditions af
fecting women of their class and
nationality. The third scene rep
resenting the central Congo region
showed a negro girl, portrayed by
Mrs. R. J. East, and a witch doctor.
The latter's costume included neck
lace and belt of ivory shells and
tiger teeth, sacred to the Congo,
and various charms' that had been
used by witch doctors in the Congo
region.
Lunch cloths and napkins, woven
by Congo natives of palm fibers,
were awarded to Mrs. W. B. Pitts
and Mrs. Rankin as prizes at the
close of the contest.
Harold Fairey. accompanied at the
piano, sang two solos. Mrs. O. E.
Gause gave a talk on stewardship
and Mrs. F. W. Burgess talked on
