Must Pay Her Little Taxes.

Father knows he must pay his taxes
10 keep his business credit good. paugh-
Ter must learn, if she has not already
taken This painful lesson To heart that
she must pay all the little taxes ON

have ones most precious books re-
turned looking as If spoiled children
had played with them, and TO spend
hour after hour waiting for an appoint
ment that has been disregarded than to
go through life without friends.
There could be no fate that is worse.
The friendless girl is hopeless. She is
morbid. She is selfish. She is self
centered.
She misses all the littlc pin pricks of
friendship. and she misses, also, its
greater joys.
She misses the JOY of sacrifice.
She never learns the lesson every one
should learn and that is self-efface-
ment.
Every little tax she pays on friend
ship is good for her soul If she accepts
the lesson It brings In the payment.
If a friend is negligent in the little
niceties and tries her almost beyond en-
durance, she profits by even such a
friendship IT, in paying her tax. she re-
members the friends many other good
qualities.
The friend hurts her feelings 1t is
good for her to pay this tax on friend
ship, If, while remembering that the
friend had no intention OF hurting her,
she must in future he less sensitive.
"The fault is half my own" is a good
