MRS. WILCOX ON
 FEMALE FRTENDsHrP.

FEMALE EtxkENWaktArs Tn recent article on the loyalty of of feminine friendship. Ella Wheeler Wilcox cites many instances to show that the courage of their affections ex- tends with many women beyond the limits of that maternal direction where all women possess it.
 She gives many instances in proof Of her faith. and one is particularly strik- ing. She says:
 "At a fashionable, luncheon a few years ago in New.York city guest of the hostess and a stranger of ten of the twelve ladies at the table made a tiisparaging remark concerning an ab- sent friend of five of the women pre- sent.
 s Although the salad was about to be brought on--and the salads of this hos tess were famous--the five ladies rose refused to sit at the table with Q wo- man who could speak such islander of their friend.
 Tt was in vain the hostess assured her guests that the speaker regretted her remark.
 Not one of the five friends of the ab- sent victim would remain. and the of- fender was left in mysteries for the hostess to console" I@
 Certainly this was heroic measure, but, are not heroic remedies needed to exercise malignant diseases, physical or social?
 Possibly if the duties of friendship and of self-respect could oftener take precedence of the code of the social conventions, those impregnated with the views of islander could be more easily detected, and hostesses could avoid embarrassment to themselves and pain to their guests. by quarantining against infested women.
 The rules of good society are bul- wark and defence and are serviceable and indispensable; but, like all laws. they are subject to alteration and amendment. There are even some dreamers who say that a day will como when the social code win include the ninth commandment and the entire decalogue. and will embrace theJGospei and the Golden Rule.
 When that utopian day arises, those who now. in perplexing difficulties, be4 lieve that these latter supersede the former will be relieved of awkwardness. Until 1t comes, they must make choice between the rewards society gives her devotees and the glorious privilege of independence, "unfortified by salads and the other elegant courses.

The June COmrade

A magnificent life size portrait Of
Eugene V. Debs the presidential
candidate of the Socialist Party,
graCes the cover of The Comrade
for June. The portrait is the work
of Comrade +. A. Dalme, and the
many admirers of the Socialist
standard bearer will be delighted
with it. The issue also contains 4
full page half tone picture of Ben
Hanford. Perhaps the most inter
esting article in the June Comrade
is the one by Debs, entitled Stray
Leaves from the Note Book of A
Labor Agitator. A comprehensive
digest of the utterances of the whole
Socialist press regarding the Chica-
go convention will undoubtedly
prove extremely valuable to every
Socialist. Highly instructive will
be found an article on the great
Hungarian Railway strike and an
other one on the new Labor Cabinet
of Australia. The issue has good
ly sprinkling of cartoons. Price,
