IRENE AND GINGER

On The Subject

Popularity

The girl or woman of to-day must be many-sided if she expects to be popular. Such is the opin-

Ginger Rogers, fons of both Irene Dunne and appearing to- gether with Fred Astaire in RKO Radio's musical comedy romance. "Roberta" which was greatly én- Joyed by all who saw the film.

This is an era of competition and it reaches into romance as well as it does into automobiles," says Miss Dunne. "To be popu¬, largiri must be able to hold her own on the dance for at the bridge table, in sports, events, in conversation and under a seduc- tive moon. She must also be able to stay out of the Umelight grace- fully as well as to be the centre of activities. She must have the ability to listen intelligently and many a woman who had little' conversation herself won a reput ation as a brilliant conversation- allst because of her cleverness in being willing to listen."

"Most men like daintiness in a woman more than almost any other- quality,” continues Miss Dunne. **This is easily accomp- ished and does not require money or good looks. Dainținess is the outgrowth of perfect groomting and requires time for the care of the hair, hands and skin, Clothing should be selected with an eye »

̈STILL. OLD-FASHIONED "I believe men are still old fas- hioned in regard to their women They like modesty and demure- ness tempered with the dash that the 1935 model has," says Miss Dunne.

As for holding men. I believe that a woman must give as much as she gets out of an association, if she hopes to keep her man.. In addition, she must not try to pos- sess him body and soul and change han from the man he was to the man she wants him to be.

William Pewel has introduced a Saturday afternoon custom on the RKO Radio lot that tickles

"An all-enveloping regard for people in general is to me the foundation upon which popularity is built." is the opinion of Ginger Rogers. "Some writer said that "love 'berets love and I believe that is real truth. If you have a warmth in your heart for those with whom you associate, it is bound to be reflected in your attitude toward them. It is n tural to like people who show that they like you

DON'T, NAG

To be popular, I should say for a girl to send out kindly, plea- sant radiations and she is bound to bask in their reflection. Girls. who are persistantly unpopular are those, who do not try to be otherwise. Perhaps they do not evince any interest in other peo- ple. Perhaps they are persistent- ly late for appointments. Perhaps they cannot enter into sports or conversations or activities of var- ious kinds. Perhaps they are carless about their personal sp- pearance and so shame their es- corts. I believe any normal girl can be popular if she will analyse "herself and correct her mistakes.

"My advice to any girl who is seeking romance is to make the best of her personal appearance, learn to dress with good taste. keep mentally up-to-date and cultivate as many accomplish- ments as is possible. Unless a girl can be an entertaining com- panion she has very little chance "Albove all things. concludes Miss Rogers, she must not be a nagger. She must not be jeal- ous and she must not be afraid to.... let people know she likes them. Say the nice little things you think. It makes it a nicer world In which to live,
