Regarding intellectual superi- ority, Miss Jerome says

Listen to a group of educated, intelligent, women, talk- ing. Can anything be more abysmal than that brand of con- versation?

KOW TO BE CHARMING
Charm of personality is, in most) cases, purely a matter of opinion. It may lie in one's voice, eyes, or actions, and yet be utterly impos- sible to define,
Many people of charm are re Cognised as possessing this quality. in which event they apparently make an appeal to everyone. But in other instances, a perfectly un- interesting individual may radiate attraction to some particular man
or woman.
Numerous plain people with charm have been known to exercise more fascination than those with pretty faces, though it is doubtful whether those who have fallen
