Friendship Without Alloy.

Friendship, to be valuable, must be
uttered, Just as gold must be pure to
be really gold. Every grain of alloy
pulls the assay down. If your friend
is but moderately your friend, and not
altogether your friend if his eyes look
into yours with any lack of frankness
or confidence; if he commits himself
to you guardedly and stands for yod
only part of the time; if he can listen
unprotestingly when others, speak
slightingly of you, his alleged friend
ship is of no real avail.-Richard
Wightman.

 their chapters to give their aid in the great work of conservation. a work so varied that each one may find an
 interest most suited to her taste. Espe- cially would I interest the children's s branch of the D. A. R. in the study of trees, birds and wild animal life.
