snip Here people come and go: cor

longer time elapses between letters, until
at last friendships fade away. and are
recalled only as one recalls the dead.
The art Of making friends is one of the
greatest in the world. II is an art which
can be cultivated from only one standard
that OF being friend ones self. Fast
and true friendships among girls is fast
dying out and parents are largely to
blame for it. They encourage their
daughters TO make friends among the
girls who can be Of help TO them"
In that way social acquaintance are
made and later Jealouses arise, and rivals
are created-never friends. To make
friends. one must desire TO be OF use 10
some one. Friendships can not be ce-
mented on business plans ones dearest
and sweetest friends are made early in
youth in that age when hearts ask not
Who Is whO?' but by some natural in
stnct one is attracted toward another.
Many girls Of wealth and position have
found In girls who were poor and with
out resources, the sweetest and purest OF
hearts. and thus friendships have been
made during school days which through
life remained a beacon light. Don't ex-
pect TO make a real friend OF girl by
entertaining her or giving her presents.
Like attracts like: you will probably
get entertainment back-an exchange of
courtesies. and that IS all. Let your
heart choose your friends. The heart
OF a high. noble girl seldom errs. Many
times il is attracted by what some one
else sees not, but still the heart knows
It's own, and two souls which so meet
VIII through life always feel that they
are sure OF at least the noble friendship
or one woman; and later in life woman's
friendship means much TO woman's heart.

SOME DETAILS OF THE TOILET

Do you brush your eyebrows carefully
night and day? This is one Of the little
details of the toilet, which carefully at
tended TO, Will soon repay you. There
are. Of course, innumerable small brushes
for this purpose which can be bought. but
fine soft tooth brush viii answer just
as well. Thin eyebrows can be improved
by rubbing in almond or olive oil. but
both must be perfectly and absolutely
pure.
The arched eyebrow is the mark Of
beauty, whereas. tho eyebrows which
meet over the nose are not only the very
opposite, but IN foreign countries are as
ISOLATED with misfortune by the super
stitious. They can be corrected by the
judicious use Of depilitators. but none OF
these is permanent.
It has been said that clipping the eye
lashes will cause them 10 grow long and
thick The ugliest, stiffest eyelashes we
have ever seen were made so by this
idea. which the unfortunate pOssessor had
heard about IN her younger years and
tried. When the lashes began to grow
