SINCERE FRIENDS,
And The OTHERS
Be Wise Enough to Have Former
Kind or Go Without Amy.

We you canno have sincere friends,
best have none at all You who
are starting out to make your little
social circles should realize this.
r 1t will take you longer to make lot
Of really sincere friends, but they will
be worth while. You will have them
all your life. The others will make
you live beyond your means, dress be-
yond your means and act in super
fetal, snowy ways unworthy of your
best self.
You will! have to do as they say, act
as they want you to, act and be in
every way false to your real character.
Is life worth while on these terms?
And what is sincere friendship? 1t
is affection based on your own quail
ties, on the personality which you can
never lose-on yourself whether in
rags or in velvet, whether happy or in
tears.
| The true friend is the one who is
willing to climb four flights of stairs
| to see you, who doesn't need tele-
phone in your house in order to make
a call, who is never too busy to hear
your troubles or having so good time
that she cannot do you a good turn.
The sincere friend will not encour'
age you to live beyond your means. tt
put on show and glitter. On the con
trary, she will urge you to save fol
the future and do the wisest thing
with the income gu have.
You will not need to entertain thu
right kind of friend with glitter and
ten course dinner. She will eat
boiled dinner with you, even thougl
she has pate de foie gras and cham
payne at home
Then, and not least. you will he we
come at such a friends house, n
matter what you wear, whether in
three-year-old tailor made OF stra'
hat long after all the other people al
wearing velvets.
And, truest test of all, You an
your true friend can sit and talk an
r exchange ideas with perfect harmon
: and pleasure without the necessity
/ any other form of entertainment.

one thing and that is tho author OF the
letters was the responsible one in tue
committing OF this crime. Therefore
the letters are OF the very most i'm
portance.
Aequittal Conviction Of Marsan.
II there is an acquittal OF Eta Lar
son 1t is almost equivalent to con-
viction Of the youngest daughter
Marean. She confessed the poisoning
and If they think she wrote the letters
1t is conspiracy on her part to i'm
plicate one innocent Of the crime In
order to herself escape the penalty.
Christian Larson is under indict-
ment for the same offense, mingling
poison with intent to kill or injure
Douglas Rhodenbaugh. If Eta is
cleared in all probability the case
against him will be dismissed. In the
juvenile court there Is also a charge
against Ethel Mowers. In the event tho
present defendant is cleared the charge
against her will doubtless be dis
missed.
According to the statement made in
court by Marean Rhodenbaugh no inn
munity has been promised her and
whether the authorities will proceed
against her remains to be seen. Doug
las Rhodenbaugh Gays that he will be
satisfied no matter how this Jury de-
ciGes and he believes that within year
the entire affair will be cleared up.
