Friendship.
1t would be a dreary world indeed
were friendship to be obliterated from
our hearts and lives. 1t is the flower
which blooms at all seasons: the per-
fume which delights the senses the
wealth which thieves cannot steal the
comfort of our declining years and the
fQretaste of that heaven which we all
hope to reach.
Have YOU friend? Fasten him to
your heart with ''hoops of steel" Be
lieye in him. trust him as he trusts you,
let never a breath of suspicion come be-
tween you. Allow no one to interfere
in your friendship, and listen to no vague
hints or inuendoes against him. If the
years have tried him and found him
loyal under all circumstances, be loyal to
him.
1t is often said there can be no real
friendship between a man and woman;
that the question of sex always enters
i'll and the feeling must turn to love or
cease altogether. | do not believe it.
We have instances of many such pure,
| lasting friendships in the lives of noted
men and women, and we have known
of them among our own acquaintances.
| True friendship knows no SEX nor time
nor place. 1t is the attraction of one
soul to another, unhampered by eXter-
nal considerations. and its fire will burn
clear and unquenched throughout life I'M
less meddlesome hands destroy it and
leave only dead ashes in its place.

Enough Sleep for Children.
Jean Williams, NJ. D., who is conduct

| for Woman's Home Companion. says:
Let me say Il few words to the moth
ers who forget that their growing chill
dren need long sleeping hours, in order
that healthy growth shall be continued
and well organized nervous system be-
! come established. 1t is especially i'm
| portant that good judgment shall be eX-
ercised during puberty. Great physical
| demands are made at this period and
| the wise mother makes every effort to
! avoid for her children unnecessary dissi-
patton of energy.
1T is not easy to state definitely the
number of hours Of sleep required, as
| there are individual requirements that
| will materially modify any rules; still
| we may safely say that in the great ma

! fine normal child sleeps most Of the time.
| at least twelve out of the twenty-four
| hours should be spent in sleep. Until six
wears of age the daily nap should be

/ should continue until the tenth year, and
