HOW TO MAKE REAL FRIEND
BE one-Friehdship Cannot De Half
Sided and Is Not Won by
Standing Aloof.

Often you come across people who
complain that they have but few
friends. They will point to other per-
sons who have many and wonder why
such a distinction is made.
The matter is easy enough to ex-
plain, for, as some one has well said
the only way to have a friend is to be
one.
For friendship cannot possibly be a
one-sided matter. Just as it takes two
TO make a bargain or a quarrel, so
does il take the same number to make
a friendship.
No one can stand aloof from others,
waiting to be sought, without expert
encing keen disappointment. This be-
cause friendships are not made that
way. People do not look you over, as
you stand off by yourself and say:
Now, there's some one I'd like to
know. I'll make point TO draw him
or her out and take all the pains pos
sible to establish a friendship"
That's not the way it happens in
real life, although some still imagine
that it is. What really happens is
this: Two persons meet, and grad
ually they find points Of congenlality,
gradually each does little fayOrs for
the other, gradually a feeling Of af-
lection takes root in each heart.
Neither one is thinking of what can BE-
gained from the acquaintance; rather.
each is thinking and planning to give
instead Of take. In other words. each
is trying TO be a friend unselfshly.
And. 10 If IS the very thing which
makes their friendship.
Bear that-in mind If you happen 10
be among those who lament their
scarcity Of friends.
