and cold and the hardships Of poverty
DO not so greatly trouble US, can even
be made joke of, II we have friends
about US who can sympsthize with US
even IL they do not share our woes
But the hardest part OF any trial that
comes to US, the sinister cloud that
gives to the loss of money and posi-
ton the blackness of death, is the
knowledge that those whom we have
counted as our friends go, too, when
the tie that held many of them to US
is loosed.
1t Is one of the mothers PLANES,
duties, therefore. to teach her child to
be friendly. And we can do 1t II we
will, even II we think he has not a
friendly disposition" I was in a street
car the other day and as looked
about me I thought I had never seen
such a morose lot Of people. One
woman across the aisle was having an
acrimonious discussion with her hus-
band careless of who heard, and both
looked as black as thunderclouds. A
thin, anaemic girl next me had a wor-
ried expression on her face as IL she
had Just lost her position, while l
fancied the thin man a few seats in
front was afraid he could no longer
keep the wolf from the door. Then
at one of the street corners a woman
entered leading a beautiful little boy
by the hand. The little fellow looked
around at his fellow passengers with
bright and smiling face, inviting
each and all of us to become his
friends He leaned over and patted the
worried-looking girl on the cheek, and
, she smiled at him. He got up on his
knees on the seat and said to the
quarrelsome woman. How do you
do?' in clear, sweet tones that were
heard by every one in the car The
woman leaned forward and kissed his
little hand as II lay on the back of
the seat, and she and her husband
smiled at each other with tears in
| their eyes.
As It Glanced, got out of the car
at the same corner as the mother and
her little son and could not help say
ing to her, Your boy has a genius for
friendship, madam"
"oh, no." she quickly replied. HE
Is Just very ordinary little boy. He
has no genius for anything. But ]
have always taught him that II is his
| duty to be friendly and smiling to-
ward everybody. We have to learn to
be friendly, you know, II We would
have friends"

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
When the Housewife Takes Cold.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

How many women on your block who
do their own work have a cold7
! And how many Of these colds are those
| long, lingering, dragging colds that
leave one in very poor condition to
face the trying climate of sprlng7
Perhaps there is no class OF women
who so frequently get winter colds as
1 the woman who has the privilege of be-
ing the home body" And II Is not hard
to md a reason for this state of af-
fairs.
There Is nothing that will ward off
/ colds so surely, or check a cold after
It has begun with such promptness as
the regular morning walk. And the
woman who stays at home very seldom
breathes the outdoor air until after she
has done half her days work. Still
! II would be possible for her to make IL
rule to fill her lungs with the out
door air either on porch or from
an open window every morning before
| starting at the routine housework. Some
! times a brisk constitutional up and down
secluded porch for only ten or fifteen
minutes will do wonders in the way Of
| hardening the woman who must neces-
sarily remain indoors during the morning.
Another factor that conduces to the
housewives colds is matter OF pure
carelessness.
A dozen times a day, perhaps, in cold
from a warm, often overheated. room TO
| the front or back door. Instead of open
ing the door and closing it with all pos
sible speed, and insisting on having the
tradesman or postman or whoever has
called step into the hall. the housewife
stands with a gale of cold air blowing
upon the open pores OF her skin. There
should always be a sweater hanging
where, II It is necessary, the housewife
can reach it on her way to answer calls
to the door.
Another feature that Is conducive to
the housewives cold is the usual over
| heating of the rooms in which the wom-
an does her housework. Kitchens must
necessarily be too hot for comfort at
times. But by making a rule of leaving
the windows open in the kitchen when
no one is in the room the ventilation
there can be very much improved, and
the general temperature kept reduced.
| In the winter time when active work,
such as sweeping, busting and scrub
bing is going on, the best thing is to
leave the windows open and to wear a
sweater and possibly a cap and cotton
| gloves for protection against the cold.

When I ask mothers II their children
make many friends or not, they are
very apt to reply: oh. yes, he has
very friendly disposition. OF course,
he makes friends" Or. perhaps, We'll.
I am sorry to say my child has not
many friends. She is not very friend
ly herself, you see"
The generally accepted idea is that
the faculty for making friends or for
repelling people is part Of the men
tai makeup of the child-the kind OF
person he is born to be. so to speak.
and as he is born in that respect so
will he continue to be throughout the
course of his natural life.
There is no greater mistake than
this. dear mothers. Because you have
reasoned thus falsely you have made
your child shy and 'unfriendly many
times when. had II not been for your
mistaken belief in predlsposition, he
would have been as winning and en-
gaging to other people as the friend
lest little soul Of them all
Friendship is not something that
comes Of itself, like teeth or finger
nails. 1t has to be planted and watered
and cultivated with care or 1t will not
grow in our gardens OF life We have
10 show ourselves friendly II we would
have friends, but the faculty for max
ing friends is not a native quality OF
the soul It is something to be bred
them not to lie and steal, but to be
moral and we'll hammered and inof-
fensive.
1t is true that some children are
more shy and timid than others. Some
babies show fear of persons other than
those Immediately associated with
them at a very early age, while others
are perfectly willing from the very
first to go to any one and meet all ad-
vsnces in ths most responsive spirit.
As a rule, think that is entirely de-
pendent upon the habits Of the family.
People who have many visitors, where
there is much coming and going, find
that the babies accustom themselves
to strangers very readily, while in
those households that live much to
themselves the sight of an unfamiliar
face is a kind OF shock to the young
child Or, 1t may have happened that
the baby has been frightened at some
time or other by people coming in and
picking him up suddenly and making
q great fuss over him. Women are very
apt to do that kind OF thing. I have
seen several Of them engage in a
friendly contest as to who should hold
the baby and pull the little fellow
about until he must have thought he
was about to be destroyed! Always, I
think, some valid reason will be found
at the bottom OF the child's shyness
and inability to make friends
1t is the greatest pity in the world
to let child grow up without ac-
quIring the divine faculty OF making
friends. OF all the blessings God has
given US in this great school of a
world in which he has placed u.s. I
truly believe our friendships are the
best and the most precious Hunger

Irwin is always referred to as a West

born near New York and when a boy
moved to the Pacific Coast. His father
was afraid that he would get a job on a
New York newspaper so he took him
away from the pitfalls OF Park Row.
He has been to the front three times

really the forerunner of Harper's
Young People and other magazines for
the young. Her stories were very
popular at the time of their writing.
and the North American Review went
so far as to give her first rank
among women authors OF America.
Mrs Child was an enthusiastic
worker for anti-slavery. She used to
say of her work. Our cause is going
to mount the throne of popular favor /;
then I shall bid good-by to it and
take hold of something else that is
unpopular" That was before the anti

New York, Feb. difference Ramsaye,
editor of movie magazine, consulted
his physician the other day concerning
liver that was jaded. He was thumped,

When | was better I asked them to
take me to see her and we spent many
hours together, though my heart al
ways ached when | looked over at the
pitiful little bandaged face, where
there was only visible two large, ten

There were little cfipples in the
hospital who had never known the
glories of the out-of-doors and who
had never romped and danced down
shady green lanes. Neither had they
ever climbed trees in search of birds
nests or slid pell-mell down dazzling
snowbanks. Some of these little Grip
plies never would know these joys, but
would have to lie on their backs all
their lives, only able to drag them
selves across the room with the aid
of two little crutches.

have our health, and how charitable
