EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

We are often reminded how many
more luxuries people have nowadays
than they used to in our mothers and
grandmothers' time, but 1 think we are
apt to forget how mary other luxuries
we have had to give up.
Such as?
Well, such as letter friends" for
instance.
Haven't YOU ever noticed what a
great shrinkage there is in the number
of ''letter friendships in this day and
generation?
Your mother probably has two or
three, or maybe half a dozen such
friendships. Almost any Sunday after
noon doubtless finds her chatting away
with swift pen to some one of these
congenial souls from whom the acct
dent of distances has had no power to
part her.
But how many such friendships have
you of the younger generation?
Maybe one or two painfully spas
modic ones.
More likely none at all.
81 never write letters" I heard a
young woman say the other day. "Of
course. / have to write little notes &C.
casionally, but never long letters. If
can't keep up friendship by seeing
a person 1 let it drop
Seems to me that's pretty generally
the younger generations attitude to-
wards letter writing, and am sorry
it is so.
For don't you think it shows a de-
generacy in the quality of our friend
ships?
Don't you think it shows that we are
apt to build them on mere propinquity
and convenience rather than on con-
geniality?
Isn't it a bad sign that we let the
most congenial friendships lapse. when
circumstances remove the friend from
our immediate propinquity, and satisfy
ourselves instead with the convenient
but not especially congenial persons
who happen to be nearest at hand?
This does not mean that believe in
starting up correspondence with
every acquaintance you meet on your
next summers vacation or promising
on commencement day to write week
~ to a dozen college chums.
1t simply means that 1 think it is a
sign of shal1owness to allow a real
congenial friendship to lapse. just be-
cause you are too busy. or more likely
too lazy, to devote an hour or two a
week to keeping IT UP by letters.
I'VE both are. busy and we seldom
meet
Yet is our faith in friendship so com
plete,
We can commune without the spoken
And know the message by each heart
is heard
is a sentiment with which thoroughly
agree.
There should be a wordless COM
munion of this sort between all true
friends.
But that does not mean there should
be no other.
There are few more precious things
that life has to offer than a truly con-
genial friend.
And he who has such treasure and
allows it to go out of his life, just be-
cause circumstances make a face to
face converse impossible, does not
know when he is blessed.
Why not rick up. your pen tonight
and revive that old friendship that
had almost died?
1 don't believe you'll regret it.

A GROCERY STORE INCIDENT

This is true story too, which
will be vouched for by the adver-
Using man who was an eye witness
to the little affair.
He was standing in well known
local grocery store, preparing an
advertisement when in came a
small boy of about years and
girl about 8. Both were on roller
skates, which by the way, is
common quick delivery system
nowadays, and they came in with
deadening noise, making reckless
leering detour of everything in their
course and finally bringing up
abruptly at the bread case.

Nope" said the boy, L gotta

The advertising man remarked
to the manager: That's what
genuinely good article, plus letting
the people know about it, will do.
Even the kids know the best brand.
What he knows" said the groc-
eryman. is, that he'll get some
thing less pleasant when he gets
home, if he don't get the genuine.
This proves that either that boy
Dreferred Weston bread or his
mother demanded it or more likely
both.
