What Is 1t To Be a Friend.

What does the word friend
mean anyhow. To have a true
friend, in thought, word and deed,
lis the sweetest gift that life can
bring; but to be friend is to have
a solemn, and tender education of
soul from day to day. a true
frienl gives confidence in life; and
makes one outdo themselves. A
friend remembers US when we have
forgotten ourselves. 1t takes a
great soul to be faithful friend
a large catholic steadfast, and low
ing spirit; one must forgive much,
forget much, and forbear much. 1t
costs to be friend, or to have a
friend. there is nothing in life
except motherhood, that costs so
much. 1t costs time, affection,
strength, patience, and a lot of
love. To be a loving friend is one
of Gods best gifts. Love does not
have to be tethered, either in time
or in eternity. But ii is a great
and solemn thing to say to another
human soul, your sorrows shall be
my SORROWS. and your joys shall be
my joys.
In absence you shall be near you
shall never be 80 far from me but
that 1 can hear your voice in the
twilight, and in the night season.
We go further, true friend will
say, though land and sea divide
us, you shall yet walk by my side,
and kueel with me in prayer? still
I shall feel the touch of your hand,
and rejoice in your sympathy?
Your letters shall make me strong
and glad, to you l may speak the
deep thoughts of my heart, with
you alone l laugh, with you only
may shed tears and not be ashamed.
To you only can 1 say Behold,
here am :" Here in this short
life. we meet, clasp hands, and part
with loving farewells, with hot
grieving tears, but in the great
hereafter there shall be neither
weeping nor any sound of signing
and there shall be no parting.
For one week to-day, I have been
at the bedside of a very dear rela-
tive and friend, Rev. George A.
Wright, and / notice how kind,
tender, and sympathetic the people
of the town and community are,
sending him beautiful flowers, and
love tokens Of all kinds, whispering
words of cheer and comfort to him,
and that from all denominations.
You never see or hear of denomlna-
tional issues in the sick room. One
common brotherhood prevails there,
akin to that of Jonathan and
David of Pithias and Damon. Why
not that way all the time?HWhy?

Cultivating a Taste in Childhood.

We have occasionally heard tenn
perance lecturers state that distillers
and whiskey sellers generally were
so deeply interested in rearing a
generation with a taste or thirst for
whiskey that they were instrumental
in placing in reach of boys candy
that contained wine and brandy.
Some of these lecturers have gone
so far as to state that candy con-
tanning whiskey was distributed
free among boys in the large cities.
We have thought that in their zeal
to create sentiment against whiskey
these lecturers presented an over
drawn nicture. But we find that
the picture was not overdrawn nor
the facts overstated. This prac-
tice of selling candy shells contain
ing whiskey prevails to such an ex-
tent in North Carolina that the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has taken notice of it and will COM
pei merchants who sell such candy
to pay a license.
The whiskey trust Can we'll af-
ford to induce candy manufacturers
to place candy containing intoxi-
cants upon the market, thus max
ing the drug and grocery stores
kindergartens for the barroom. 1t
is true that North Carolina is in
prohibition territory but it is TO
the interest of the distiller to Gre
ate an app tite for whiskey in every
boy. 1t matters not where he may
reside. Giving boys candy shells
containing intoxicants may mean
that in after life those boys will be-
come mail order patrons of the
whiskey dealers. Can you conceive
Of anything that is more contempti-
BILE than for the whiskey people to
thus entrap the boys Of the coun-
try?
In referring to the action of the
revenue officer concerning the sale
of candy shells containing whiskey,
the Charlotte Observer says: Mr..
Osborn has taken steps well adapted
not only to obtain revenue justly
due the Government but likewise to
abate on evil Of which there has
long been complaint in all sections
of the country, especially as regards
its influence Upon school children.

tainly, there is every evidence of luxury
in all this presentation of dainty slippers.
Buckles set with colored stones to
match the gowns or hairpins are used
extensively. In fact, the dancing slippers
all show some ornamentation. The
black satin slipper holds its own and is
either decorated with stunning buckle
or beaded in black or steel beads. There
is fancy just now for cut steel shoe
ornaments. A smart pair of slippers
which had openwork vamps, SO as to
reveal the dainty hosiery to better advan-

slippers. Plain or fancy button fasten-
ings are used in an overwhelming ma
jority of instances; indeed, few laced
boots are worn, except for heavy walk
ing.
1t is predicted that suede feathers in
various colors will be worn for dancing
and semi-dress. Bronze boots will con-
tinue in favor and will often be seen in
combination with brocades. Especially
attractive are patent leather shoes with
black and white brocaded tops or those
with the uppers of tinsel vesting or of
gold or silver cloth.
Some exclusive models are fashioned
of Satin de Laine, velvet or satin. A
satin boot shown in an exclusive shop,
had invisible lacing under black satin
draped top, which fastened at the side
with clasps and was trimmed with a
rhinestone ornament. The vamp was of
patent leather.

much annoyance. Other stockings have
worked eyelets or buttonholes for the
same purpose. Some recent innovations
are stockings with elastic tops for those
who do, not wear garters all the time.
Some silk stockings are sold with sup
ply of mending silk, so that there can
arise no difficulty in matching shade.
The latest novelty is an openwork
stocking, so constructed as to permit the
insertion of piece of embroidery ma
terial to match the gown. Black and
white stockings, woven in decided
stripes, is one of the latest Partisan
novelties.
The fad for shaded effects has been
revived and ombre silk stockings, shad-
ing from the darkest to the lightest
tones, can be obtained in nearly every
hue. Black and iridescent beaded de-
signs form the decorations on some of
the imported stockings. Of course these
have to be cleaned instead of washed.
Others are embellished with lace,
medallions and butterfly effects, en-
broidered designs or with gold and sill
yer insertions. White silk stockings,
tinted or hand painted in dainty floral
patterns, are exquisite for wear with
negligees. Another fancy is for the all
over lace stocking in delicate colorings.
