this is as true as true can be. Not
that one often needs actual assist
ance, but the friend who remains the
same not only in thought but in
deed, through reverses and changes,
is the true friend.
Two little girls grew I'D together
In a small town the best of chums.
One of them went to a great city and
now has all the good things that
money can bring; the other lost
what little she had of this worlds
goods and lives quietly in her old
home.
Two or three times a year Miss
Good Fortune devotes a few days to
entertain the chum Of her childhood.
by careful manipulation on her part,
which seems like mere coincidence to
the visitor, the house is never crowd
cd with weekend party of her rich
friends or with a formal or dignifled
reception or dance. This does not
mean that there is a lack of fun or
pleasure. Instead there is the Jolly
little reunion of two or three Of tcir
old friends who have come to the
city to live; the two girls go for
morning drives and shopping trips, to
the theater and concerts and opera
When they take a motor trip the
hostess slips a warm fur coat or a
becoming veil about her guest. She
does not try to hide her wealth, but
talks of the places she has been and
shows her pretty belongings. She
asks for her old friends opinions on
books and pictures. ways of doing
her hair and new frocks. In short,
she makes her feel that through all
the changes their friendship is still
the same, still one Of the best things
she possesses.
There are two other girls on whom
Fortune has smiled unequally. In
this case Miss Good Fortune, whose
intentions are the best in the world.

COMFORT FOR BABY'S FEET
BY MRS. McCUNE.

ne OR the first few months of its
life the baby does not need
- shoes, unless there is a tend
ency to have cold feet. In such
case warm knitted booties should be
worn. These are the only shoes that
should be worn until the baby is old
enough to stand on its feet. If other
are liable to cramp the feet and
cause them to grow out of shape.
There is no use in burdening a baby
with unnecessary clothing.
AS soon as a baby begins to stand
on its feet it should have soft kid
shoes with thin soles and no heels.
These should be broad at the toes
and confrom to the shape of the feet.
For this reason there should be
''lefts' and rights If the baby
wears a shoe that does not fit, the
tender muscles and bones are drawn
out of shape. The shoe should be a
little longer than the foot, so as not
to crowd the toes. 1t should fit at
the heel and around the ankle, 9TH
erwise the foot may turn in the shoe
and a sprain result. 1t is not IN
common for babies to suffer with
sprained ankles as a result of wear
ing shoes that do not fit their feet.
Laced shoes are better than buttoned
ones, as they can be adjusted to the
feet better.
When the child begins to run
about the shoes may be a little
heavier, with thicker soles. There
should be no heels on the shoes until
the baby is about years DID, then
1t should wear "spring heels until
it is or 8 years of age.
With small children, as well as
with grown people the shoes should
be adapted to the wearer. l have
seen small children all bundled up in
furs plodding along on a cold pave
ment with thin soled shoes which
rendered little protection from the
cold. "'Baby catches cold every time
he goes out for a walk" is the cry
of the unthinking mother. More
children contract cold and pneumo-
mia because their feet are not prop
eEay clad than they do from wear
Ing hin coats. It :; much more

ACCESSORIES
FOR BRIDGE

90 universal has the game of
bridge become as a popular
- form of entertainment that
there have appeared upon the mar
ket many new ideas pertaining to the
game.
A machine has been invented to
deal the cards, thus saving the deal
er any extra exertion. A pack of
cards is placed in the machine, the
dealer turns a crank and the cards
are distributed in four neat piles be-
fore each player. This may be a
suggestion for UNIQUE gift.
Then again, for those who are in
terested in working out unusual
hands, for the mere practice or
science of it, there have been boards
invented which make the exposed
hands and their manipulation unite
easy. Tiny decks of cards come
with this board, and it is a fine
amusement for a quiet evening at
home.
Then the celluloid trump indica-
tor is novelty that all card PLAYERS
do not possess, and which may
please them great deal, particular
ly elderly people, whose memories
are not as active as they once were
Bridge score pads come in scores
of different forms, but one which is
less expensive and more convenient
than most, is the roll pad 1t is like
a memorandum pad, and, as each
page is filled it can be torn off, and
the next blank space unroI1ed.

SING gasoline without leaving a
ring. This is done successful
~ ly by folding a small turkish
washrag once. Of this make tight

Irvine. Use the folded end of this
as a swab. Place a small quantity
of gasoline in a saucer, dip the swab
Stroke the spot gently until it disap-
pears. Never pour gasoline on

too free use of gasoline.
NOVEL method of preserving
An teel knives and keeping them
An bright after using occurred to
busy woman. She filed a flower pot
with clean fine sand and set it in her
the secured steel knivc5, instead of
laying them in a drawer or knife
box, she stuck them, blades down, in
the pot of sand as she would stick
pins in a cushion. The sand kept
them so beautifully that unless they
were used to cut some acid thing
they never needed securing.
HERE are women who are SO
sensitive about growing old
4 that they stop sewing in public
as soon as they begin to find it hard
to thread a needle. But difficulty in
threading a needle is not limited to
the aged. Here is a hint which ill
make the task easier: In threading
needle hold the needle firmly be-
tween thumb and first finger of right
hand. resting on secoE finger. The
thread is held in left hand with a
short end extending from between
tips Of first finger and thumb. The
knack lies in pressing the two thumb
joints hard together. keeping thread
taut.

VALUE OF GIRL FRIENDS
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

~ ONE girls, rather than put up
with the exactions of a too de-
- voteda chum, think that they
must avoid girl friendships altogeth-
er. OF course, these girls miss one
of the greatest pleasures and helps
of their whole life and sooner or
later, as they grow older. discover
what they have lost.
lsut though there are no written
laws, no thou-shalts and thou-shalt-
nots to lead the young girl into the
right road in regard to girl friend
ships and their making, there are
some pretty reasonable rules to be
observed in this respect
The foundation of all friendship
gir1hood and otherwise-lies in gem
crosby. Therefore the first rule is.
don't be critical. Advice from
friends is often welcome, but crit
icism never is. So when a girl feels
that for some reason or other-either
because her own or her friends point
of view has changed-she and the
dear girl friend are no longer really
in sympathy with each other the in
timacy had best be given up A GER
tain girl friendship once dissolved in
tears and hot words because one of
the partners developed a taste for
mahogany, whereas the other saw
good only in old English oak. But
this sort of difference can easily be
adjusted in most cases and ought
really to add to the strength of the
friendship, for surely the exchange
of opinion and point of view is one
of the greatest pleasures friends can
have
So much for generosity of spirit:
generosity with ones worldly pos
sessions is also part of friendship.
OF course, it is a mans part to give
flowers and bonbons But let the
girl who can afford it be ever willing
to lend books and magazines; let her
sometimes take few flowers to one
girl friend who is i'll, or a remem-
brancc of her favorite fruit or sweet
to the dear old grandmother of an
other. for all these things go to make
life the happier.
There is the old saying that a
friend in need is a friend indeed, and

necessary to protect the feet than to
wrap the throat in furs.
Almost as injurious, and much
more uncomfortable to the child are
the hot pavements during the sum
mer days. The heat goes right
through the little, thin soles and
poor baby suffers with his blistered
feet.
Corns and bunions are caused by
i'll fitting shoes. They may not be
too tight, but they are the wrong
shape. Pointed toe shoes are respon-
sib1e for many bunions, as they
throw the joint of the great toe out
of position. This causes it to press
against the side of the shoe An
Inflammation results which will not
subside until the pressure is remov-
ed and the toe allowed to resume its
natural position.

~ MALL articles of jeweIry, espe-
cially the silver kind, will be
difficult to clean in the hands
of an inexperienced person, since dull
silver is more difficult to restore to
its former beauty than gold. The
best method is to immense the
brooch, ring or pin in a solution of
cyanide of potash, procurable at any
drug store. Do not let the liouid
touch the fingers. Let remain in the
liquid for two minutes, remove cad
wash in hot soapsuds. This will be suf-
f1cient to restore the brilliancy of the
metal. The best method of cleaning
chain bracelets or necklaces of gold
Is to make paste of ammonia and
whiting and rub this into the tiny
links with soft brush. afterward
wash the pieces in soft water end
polish with a chamois.
VERY fetching little sandwiches
" for a card party refreshment or
supper can be made in the fol-
lowing way: Cut slices from a milk
loaf, trim them and (using a sharp
knife) cut them into the shape of
cards. Butter each slice thinly on
one side and spread half the number
of slices thin1y with any timed fish
paste, say anchovy. The paste should
have been previously mixed with
whipped cream. Have on hand some
heart and diamond shapes stamped
from picked cherries and truff1es
with small tin cutters. Now put the
slices together to form the sand
witches, one having the paste, of
course, with one that has the but
ter alone. Decorate them to repre-
sent spot cards by pressing on the
little shapes with very little cool
apple jelly to make the garnish ad-

RAINCOATs

~ o not consign your wornout rain
ID coat to the waste bag. You can
make many little things which
would demand too much of the ex-
pensive oiled silk, and the water
proof cloth is of lighter weight than
oilcloth, which you probably would
purchase. An apron with a bib can
be made for wash day. A large en-
veloping cap for the hair will pro-
tect from water when windows are
cleaned.
Strips of an old silk raincoat can
be worked into bags to carry next
years bathing suit, and the best
pieces are easily made over into lit
tie utility cases dear to the suitcase
of travellers. One woman has made
large covers to be tied over clothes
baskets when holding freshly laund-
cred goods ironed away from home.
The possibilities of an old rain
coat are no longer limited to the old
clothes box, since it can appear in
extended usefulness in the home.

wealth of a community, and as but
a small per cent. of the truck grown
in West Tennessee is consumed here,
but most of it being shipped 10 dis
tant cities. it must add largely to our
wealth. Practically all the crops are
shipped to cities and money received
for them is all spent or invest
ed in the community where the stuff
is grown, with the exception of the
small per centage which is sent "a
way for fertilizers.
This is not so true of staple crops,
except cotton, these being sold to
men in the community and amounts
TO a change of ownership rather than
an addition of wealth of that place.

the elements of fertility necessary
for the prouction of the crop just con-

any man to carefully consider every

of the crop above cost of growing.
Now as to the disadvantages.
Chief among them in my section is
the scarcity of labor. and so much
hard work being required. Every
man should have his labor arranged
for.in advance. Truck crops grown

returns will not admit of the neglect

difference of two or three days in
the planting of the seed, putting them
out in the field or mobilization of
the crop, frequently means the diff
ference between a large profit and ac-
tual loss. and unless a man intends
to give them attention just when
they need il, he had better stick to
general crops and let truck growing
alone. Eternal vigilance and unceas-
ing industry are the prices Of success
in this business. Another disadvan-
tage about the crop is that it must
be gathered just when 1t is ready

any truck crop. but more especially
