The Test Of Friendship.

In friendship, as in most matters, 1t
is the little things that count. Not
promises Of eternal fidelity. but thought
fulness about trifles assures us that our
friend really cares for US. The one
who knows instinctively what subjecta
Of conversation may be unpleasant to
US, what subject we do not like to hear
TESTED about, who, knowing too when
we wish to be silent, humors us in our
wish-that is the one with whom we
love to associate. We can never retain
q friend long If we are not willing to
take pains to find out his peculiarities
and respect them.
