ception of him. She couldn't stay alone minute; she was afraid Of the dark, and when she finally departed we drew a sigh of relief; and although she invited herself two or three times afterward, I never found it convenient to entertain her again, and don't think l ever shall.
 I have had visitors who borrowed half my personal belongings and scat tered them all over the house, and aft CT they were gone it took me half the day to clean up their rooms and bring order out of chaos; but I noticed this kind of visitors were not the ones who were anxious to entertain me.
 "Once upon a time" as the stories of our childhood days used to begin, some friends who had visited me many times invited me to come at a certain time and they would take me to see a play which was billed for that week. Well, I wanted to see the play, so at some trouble, for it wasn't easy for me to leave home just then, packed up my best bib and tucker" and went. I fancy when I arrived there they were more surprised than pleased, and 1 didn't hear anything said about the play. We might easily have gone to the matinee, at least, as we were with in two or three blocks of the theater. but the hostess sat and rocked and knit calmly all the afternoon and evening. having seemingly forgotten all about it. and I cut my visit as short as I decently could, and never repeat ed it; and they haven't visited me since, so I gained so much.
 I do not invite people unless l want them and since I left the farm a large part of them have dropped my acquaintance altogether, showing how much they cared about me; but that kind of friends I think we can well dispense with.
 There are always good people enough in the world, and in times of trouble we find out where our friends are, and to our surprise the best ones are often found where we don't look for them; and some whom we had counted as friends are altogether out of the run ming Our best friends are not apt to be found among our relatives, either. Save me from my relatives" when real trouble comes.
