and vines creeping and falling over the

you had all been there.
All parts of the hall are filled with rare
flowers; long tables Of cinerarias of all col

kind, color and description. II one had never
made study of this plant he could never be-

OLD AND sRwJ FRIENDS
Make new friends, but keep the.old
Those are silver, thesesare gold.
New-made friends, like new-made wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test.
Time and change, are surely best.
Brow may wrinkle, hair turn gray,
Friendship never owns.decay.
For mid old friends kind and true
We once more our youth renew.
But alas old frie nds must:die.
New friends must their place supply.
Then cherish friendship in your breast;
New is good, but cid is best.
Make new friends, but keep the.e
Those are silver, these.are gold.

Dear NJ. b. Friends:
Some time ago we had q little talk in the
column on the same subject as the poem
given above. So many times in the pass
ing years we say, as We hear that one and
another whom we had known always or
for many years has gone from this life to
the other, a have lost another friend"
Lost, not to memory, but from the social
bonds Of life, from its activities, from ITS
valued CON partnerships, from its tangible
realities.
So while we value and cherish the old
friends still left TO US, though their num-
bers are gradually lesseping, we may en-
large the circle and come to know and es-
TEEN and trust those who share With us
mutual interests and mutual heipfSlness.
II is pleasant to believe that in and through
our motto and column some true friend
ships have been established. I am sure
many OF you realize this as fully ss do
myself; and the foundation of these new
friendships Of the past ten years 10 one
Of solid worth and character. We have
given to each other of our best and we
have been mutually rewarded.

This weeks nice collection will close
with letter from our Susan on.the Pacific
side.
Ny Dear Aunf Madqe:
Why do We often seek defects in our neigh
bors and publish them? Do we not kno that
in seeking and finding them we have gained
nothing for ourselvesf Surely nothing that
is good; but, on the contrary. we bring unhap-
piness for our reward, while we widen the cir
Gle Of discord.
am now speaking of private life as one
finds it among neighbors. We understand
that just as soon as one gets into public life
people seem privileged to say all the mean
things they can about him; but above every
thing else, neighbors ought to be good neigh
bors, helpful and true. Isn't that sos None
Of us is perfect, and the fault is just as apt to
be in the finder as in the one found fault with.
One may say he doesn't care for neighbors.
Such a one. Of course, will not have any. and
he doesn't deserve any. He is q hermit who can
live without neighbors, and is respected and
loved only as such. A hermit's life il lonely
one at best. It's marrow one, too.
The sod will soon hide all the defects Of
ones neighbors. Let us, while we live, make
the best use Of our neighbors. 1t will prove
pieasurable to them and to us. Let us be
patient and forgiving, and seek in our neigh
Dor only the good; one will be surprised in
how much he can find of that desirable thing
or quality. Speak kindly to thy neighbor, for
like produces like, and in a very short time
you will see NO evil in your neighbor.

unique entertainment. We enjoyed the
music very much, and when the little brown

out the evening, their low, soft, sweet voices
were very pleasing to hear. Sweet Bye and
Bye" in their own language Was quite i'm
pressive. For 1900 miles these boys have
travelled to make music for US. No wonder
the audience applauded. The members were
dressed in suit Of kahki with red stripes on
the arms and legs. Their instruments seemed
to be silver instead Of gold plated. Invited
as they were BY Taft to play at HIS inaugura-
ton, they must have been quite happy to be
here. The entertainment lasted until nearly
eleven that evening. II seemed to me
that their selection from TannahAuser was
about the best Of their work. and their imita-
ton Of thunder and then falling rain was SO
realistic that begun to think ought to have
worn my rubbers, but it WAS not quite equal
to the thunder produced by Boston symphony
orchestra, which listened to . few weeks
ago. No one would expect the little brown
men to play like these veteran musicians.
