Friends

We have often heard It asked, who
are our friends2' Are they who are
always ready with praise and fiattery?
Do they fOrsake us when we are in
the depths Of trouble? We would not
consider them friends Il they did the
latter. And their blarney talk. what
is it? Nothing. Perhaps it is said
with the one purpose Of gaining favor
or covering up some wrong Very
often, q friend who is true gives few.
but earnest compliments. and we can
acknowledge them as such. They will
help us whenever they can, and very
often we are brought to remember
that "a friend in need is a friend in
deed" In sickness the woman living
next door may prove a great friend.
You havebeen in need and she has come
in the end. our best friends. Through
their kindly acts, we may rise from
the level to such an elevation that we
may be the leaders of our profession.
And all through one who has been a
friend, one who has told US of our
faults, that we could correct oui
errors. These are the ones we should
love and honor all through life But
the tables may be turned, and we can
bestow just such kindness on them as
they have conferred upon us.

Train a child in the way it should go,

from it." Features alone do not make
the child pleasing No matter how
homely the little one may be- if its
maners are polished. it will be ad-
mired by all. for. Pretty is as pretty
does" The properly trained child will
answer politely when spoken to. not
sit with chin on the chest or fingers

and what viii attract attention quick

be a man, or a woman. useful in many
ways to relatives, friends and even to
the country. OF course, we must be

Sham Living

"All is not gold that glitters" This
advice should be given to the girl who,
longing for society. puts all the money
she can get together on her outside
clothing, while that which is not seen,
is as coarse and as cheap as it can
possibly be 1t was once said Of
young lady that she paid a dollar and
half for necktle, but nineteen cents
for an under-vest. .1'he former was
conspicuous, the latter hidden. Has
this show any advantage? True. il
may win for you the remark. "She
dresses very WELL" or, "She always
looks nice" But If all you earn is put
in wearing apparel. what good are
these compliments? Will they buy you
food or shelter? Dress does not make
our life what it is sThis sham is not
confined to dress; 1t is also found in
disposition and In general life. For
instance. take the young lady in COM
pany who is the belle OF the evening.
Everyne is captivated by her pleas
ant manner and jolly disposition. She
is the brightest Of all the guests and
her mirth keeps all in continuous
laughter. What would many think If
they could only see her in her home
as she really is there. She is very
cross and irritable. Her people do not
crowd around her that she may drive
away the "blues' by her lively con-
versation. Rather they get as far
away from her as possible.
