Mrs. M. R. Shirley is
friendless.
Shirley R. People just
aren't interested in me. ,
Mn. M. R My husband
and I are very much worried
about our youngest daughter,
Shirley, who at 19 finds her
self alone and friendless in
bur large community.
Shirley was always a very
shy girl, but she did have
one or two good girl friends
over the years. Unfortunately,
her best friend moved to an-
noticed we are tempted to
feel she rather glories in her
nathetic situation. It gets her
lots of sympathy and atten
tion from her parents.
The fact is, Shirley warns
loads and loads of attention,
but won't go out of her way
to get it. She believes people
ought t6 like her without her
having to prove she is worth
liking. She has discovered
that a pretty face, neat dress
and politeness are not enough.
Well, what does get atten
tion? Instead of sulking and
pitying herself, Shirley ought
to make a study of the sub
ject. She will notice that the
best liked individuals are
those who seem to genuinely
like others. Their smile of
preetine is not merely polite
It is filled with real joy in
the. contact with another.
