VALUE OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP
AcquaIntanees When They Are
Ready to Help Him.

A mans friends ought to be his for
tifications in time Of distress, and they
usually are. At any rate, when you
find a man in trouble who Is afraid to
20 to his friends, or those who ought
TO be his friends because he has lived
with them and worked with them.
there is good reason to be suspicious.
Especially is this true II he is asking
strangers for relief. There is, you may
be sure, something in his life that he
is ashamed of-some habit or some
action that he knows is sufficient to
ALLEVIATE those who know him best.
We are all liable to misfortune, but
II we have done our best there is moth
ing to be ashamed of. We can look
those who best know us squarely in
the face, tell them our story and conf
IDENTIFY expect that the helping hand
will be given. That is the way, thank
God, that men and women are con-
structed. They admire the strong, but
they are sympathetic with those whom
adverse circumstances have overborne.
They would rather see a worthy man
thrive than bid him 60 in want. They
like to know that man has done his
best, and they are willing to help that
he may do his best. even IL his failure
has come through some fault Of his
own. But there is not much for them
to hope for in a man who avoids those
who know him and asks help only of
strangers. He may say he is too proud
to tell them he is in straits. But he
is deceiving himself; 1t Is not pride,
but shame, that moves him.

True PoIiteneSS.

"Civility costs nothing" is a COM

without saying, for It is self-evident.
But incivility often costs much. II has
been known to cost man his position,
or his opportunity for advancement.

churlish answer. or forbidding man

brings disappointment and disaster.
Courtesy first" is the motto Of q Ger.
tain large establishment in q western
city. All the employees. clerks, and
others. associated in the enterprise,
wear bright buttons with these words
upon them, and 1t Is a genuine pleas
ure to be waited upon by any of them.
The atmosphere throughout the whole
building breathes good will. Perhaps
the courtesy does cost something
some selfdenial, some patience and
forbearance. but the returns overpay
any such outlay. And let US always
remember the definition:
True politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way"

Caldwell with hands that seemed of

The attention of costumers appears
to be conferred now on afternoon and
evening frocks and on sports clothes
Of all descriptions. The shops are full
of enticing gowns made of all the
sheer cotton and silk textiles in de-
signs the most refined and fascinat-
ing that the season has produced.
They are the swan song of fashions
for the summer Of 1916, for their crea-
tors must soon concentrate their
thoughts on a new task. The evolu-
ton of style for fall already presses
for their attention.
One thin fabric over another and
these two over a third is the story of
gauzy costumes, in which quantities of
material make up for lack of body in
the fabrics used. There are many
dounces. made as full as possible, and
underskirts and petticoats are shirred
and ruffled to the limit of fullness.
A petticoat of net Is worn under
these airy midsummer frocks. and it
is provided with boning or reeds
which distend the frock at the hips
or near the bottom. Two reeds at
each side. over the hips, hold the un-
