Tea Table TALES
BY May De Witt Talmage

THE VALUE OF \ FRIEND.
A letter from an old friend the
other day upbraided me for not hav-
ing written TO her. After a long
letter celebrating on my shortcOm-
ings. she finished with the words;
Although l am very cross with you,
in spite of it all 1 love you l."
l Immediately answered her letter
and said; That is the only kind Of
friend worth having. the one who
Loves us in spite Of ALL"
Real friendship rests on a firm
foundation. The real thing is an
inspiring force. an incentive to live
up to the best there is in you. 1t is
a tonic for courage and strength. I
read a while ago; There is no past
tense in friendship, when we think
we have lost a friend the mistake is
ours. Real friendships like the
stars, are constant and true in their
ordered course False friends. like
dead words are shooting stars that
flicker and burn out. There are
many dead worlds but the heavens
are full of true stars
Our real friends will never take
immediate offense or become resent
full of apparent neglect. We can
tell them anything. knowing they
will not throw il back at US some
time later on when our ideas or
views with regard TO some person or
thing has changed. Oh, the COM
fort of never having to be on guard.
of leaving real friends without hav-
ing to wonder what construction
they will put on what you told them,
never wishing voc had left unsaid
the things you told them in a burst
of confidence.
Our friends are not those who
are silent when we make mistakes
and fiatter us when we do less than
our best. they are those who make
us do what we can. Such a friend
is not only a delightful companion,
by the way, but fellow traveller who
makes the goa. clear when fatigue
and Soubt cloud the vision, and reso-
lutely urges us onward when we are
tempted 10 falter in the quest
We who have been held up. urged
on. and encouraged by the confidence
our friends have in us, have some
thing ia our lives Of incalculable
value

STANDS firm

SITUATION HAS REACHED STATE
OF EXTREME GRAVITY, AND
HosTIIITIES WITH CARRANzA-
sTs SEEM UNAVOIDABLE
(By Associated Press)

Washington, June 17.-Warnings
from the Mexican commanders that
any movement of American troops ex-
cent in retirement toward the border,
would precipitate hostilities will not
change the purpose of the United
States to keep the expedition in Mexl-
co. or prevent Pershing from insuring
the safety of his column and dealing
with the bandits. No further south
ern advance is contemplated. Direct
word from Pershing Is awaited. Cen
eral Bell told General Funston on the
TELEPHONE that the warning had been
given by Trevino. 1t is thought tha'
he got his information from Mexican
officials. Diplomatic officials here in
clined to believe the warning is fol
home consumption and not PRELUDE
to hostilities-possibly move to hea'
off anti-American agitation withou
hostilities. Lansing said the situation
is unchanged. The reply to Carran
za's note is withheld pending possibl
additions covering the San Ignaci
raid and Trevino's reported ultima
tum.
