FRIENDSHIP THAT RINGS TRUE
Always a Condition That Requires
Thorough Understanding and
Complete Sympathy.

Some acquaintance will never ripen
into true friendship because the COM
mon bond of union, the thorough I'M
derstanding and the complete SYM
pathy are lacking.
An acquaintance begun in child
hood will ripen into friendship if the
children develop mutual interest in a
common cause of study or pleasure. If
dissimilar tastes and unlike impulses
develop the children will grow apart,
since each of us tends toward certain
centers of association
Money cannot buy us friends. 1t
often purchases apparent friendship.
but when the wealth goes that which
posed as friendship vanishes also.
Friendship must be distinguished
from that sentimental feeling which is
so common among young girls. This
ridiculous fascination, which ex-
presses itself in extravagant terms of
endearment, is very tickle.
AS soon as it finds faults in one idol
it transfers it's affection to another.
Youth has yet to learn that perfection
In human nature does not exist. The
sensible man or woman does not set
up an ideal of friendship SO high that
it must be shattered
Friends influence us for good or
evil. Unfortunately we can guide the
formation of our friendships only to a
very limited extent, either for our
&C oh
Friendship springs up and grows
naturally it cannot be planted at will.
Foolish friendships are often formed
in youth. 1t is useless to talk against
them, since young people always re-
sent criticism of their friends. We
must simply tolerate them and trust
to the awakening of common sense to
prove all frivolous friendships false
and unworthy.-P Philadelphia Inquirer.

"City Healthier Than Farm"

The sanitary conditions in the
farmers homes of Massachusetts and
New York state are not what they
should be-" DR.. Harvey w. Wiley de-
clared in an address before several
hundred farmers from all over the
state in Horticultural hall, assembled
for the Massachusetts state board Of
agriculturals annual meeting
in New York and Massachusetts
particularly, the city is a healthier
place to live than the country" Doctor
Wiley said. THE cities of New York
and Massachusetts are taking better
care of their citizens than the coun-
try is, and | am inclined to believe
that the unfavorabie situation in the
rural sections is due more to lack of
sanitary conven- er ces and appliances
than it is to the effect Of the climate
or Of a deficient Diet

Formation of Ice.

The surface of river or lake
freezes into solidity, first at the top;
as more water freezes it forms be-
meath that already frozen Ice forms
over fresh water if the temperature Of
the air has been for sufficient time
at or below freezing point, but freez-
ing is only possible after the whole
mass Of water has been cooled down
that the subsequent cooling of the sur
face can give rise to no convection
currents, which would cause diffusion
of heat.

Helped TO Get Jobs.

More than 500 jobless women more
than half of them with college train
ing, found work in New York through
the agency of the Intercollegiate Blu
reau of Occupations in the year ended
April 80, 1915, according to the third
annual report of the bureau, issued
not long ago. Many of that number
became secretaries, companions, suf-
frage workers, librarians, settlement
workers, workers in war relief and
nurses. Others had unusual places.
Three became sSleswomen and dem
onstrators for an automobile company.
Two others were employed by bond
and securities company to sell stocks
among women. One became rent
collector and four took jobs as police
agents and detectives.

to marked degree of grace The best
wish is that we continue to do it.
IL the farthingale or distended hip
line becomes universal some of the
awkwardness will be lifted. If this
idea becomes exaggerated through
public usage we shall enter into an era
Of troublesome costumery, but if it is
merely used as a means of keeping a
wide circle away from the ankles then
it will redeem the extra full skirt.
One of the pronounced features OF
the new Breton style of gown is the
apron that is often used in the front
and back of a wide skirt This will
be taken up by the house of Cheruit
and several other designers. 1t has
been appearing in exclusive models
since Christmas, but it takes more
than several weeks insistence on a
fashion to popularize it.
In a taupe-colored chiffon velvet
gown, trimmed with bands of taupe-
colored picot ribbon, there is a regu-
lar Brittany apron with bib OF
taupe faille silk. The surplice bodice,
of taupe chiffon. with it's large lego
mutton sleeves that reach to the
wrist, has small cape collar of pan
velvet, edged with taupe marabou
which flares as high upward as down
ward, does not meet in front and is
fastened by a necklace of taupe vel
vet ribbon.
In other and more extreme gowns
the Breton apron with it's bib is used
only in front. It's wide strings form
a girdle, and they are tied into a fat
BOW at the back or twisted into a
knot with long ends. The attempt to
introduce a second color into the
gown by means of this apron has not
been successful, but it will be further
modified by strong shades of light
blue and pink, mauve and yellow,
which are coming into evening gowns
Any woman who likes simple lines
which give elegance is distressed when
the fashion promises a profusion of
trimming, and it is time for this dis
tress to be shown. With the excep
ton of the new Poiret gowns. the
fastidious woman finds everything
overloaded.
Jenny, as well as anyone else, is re
sponsible for this movement in dress
Many of her clothes are quite en-
chanting. but they do not owe their
charm to simplicity of line. She uses
bands upon bands of fluffy trimming
going around the figure.
Lanvin who speaks with such au-
thority these days, is standing spon-
sor for that ancient kind Of trimming
which we somehow always associate
with the costumes of the Spanish
court TESTERS 1t consists of dozens of
tabs of ribbons pointed at the ends
ard laid over each other in straight
lines. These are often edged with
white or black rhinestones.

JEWELRY TO MATCH CLOTHES
Intrinsic Value of Ones Ornaments
Not to Be Considered When
Selection Is Made.

Women no longer like jewelry sim
ply because of its intrinsic value.
They like it because of its suitability.
1t must bring out the best in them
selves and their clothes to be worth
buying.
A clever woman who sells jewelry
in a fashionable shop said recently
that it was far more necessary for
her to understand something about col
or harmony and human nature than
about the value of the jewelry she
handled. The day has passed, she
said, when the size of woman s
pocketbook suggests the size and sort
of jewelry she will buy
Well-dressed women wish to wear
distinctive jewelry, different sorts
with different froc6s. So when they
have a new frock they must have new
jewelry; and when they choose the
fabric for the new frock they take
samples of it to match up in jewelry.
OF course this individual sort of
jewelry must necessarily be relatively
inexpensive. For even woman with
an unlimited dress allowance would
hesitate at buying jewels worth a
fortune to wear with each of them.
So the newer sort of jewelry depends
not at all on it's intrinsic value-for
often it has very little Of that-to at
tract it's buyers.
Jewelry, too, is nowadays often a
composite part of ones frocks. There
are buckles at the shoulders and at
the girdle, there are strands of semi
precious stones about the neck, and
there is embroidery in rhinestones.
glass beads and jet that all give the
same effect as more expensive jewelry.

Feel Shortage of Wedding Rings.

A shortage of wedding rings in jew
elers' shops and in wholesale factories
though the shortage has nothing to do
with scarcity of gold. There are
three main causes for the wedding
ring famine. There has been a very
great number of war weddings; the
working classes, owing to high wages,
have bought cheap gem rings in great
numbers, and there is serious short
