THE CHARMING WOMAN

ATTRIBUTES THAT MAKE HER ADMIRED

by Beatrice Fairfax

The Mansfield News, Sunday, April 2, 1920

Two letters lie before me, both of which express the wish I've an idea most women would make if the wishing-fairy came their way:

"How can I make myself liked? What can I do to be magnetic? Is it possible to acquire charm?"

Discouragingly enough we're generally told that charm and magnetism are things which you just have--or haven't. But I wonder if it's as hopeless as this sounds.

Health, strong vitality, a poised and un-irritating mind--all these make for charm, and most of those who long to acquire these things may do so in our day of good physicians, splendid psychologists and chances in the educational field. But I haven't space here to give all present the high road to mental equilibrium, energy and healthy sanity of body and soul.

No, instead I'm going to tell you about the woman who is acclaimed by all who know her as "perfectly charming." Maybe you'll get some hints from a study of Elsie.
