Making Friends.

This making of friends is one of the
hest things about a vacation. 1t is just
as truly recreating your life as are the
muscular exercise and the opening of
your lungs to deep drafts OF pure
air. II is opening your soul to fresh
human influence, widening your SYM
pathies. giving you one more anchor to
windward, one more stake In life. All
that may be put down with the friend
ship possibilities Of vacation. and
with all that store Of new health to
seek. 1t oughtn't 10 be necessary to
say much about the kind OF friend to
look for. There is only one kind of
friend worth having-only one kind
worth bothering about even for the
pastlme of a week or two.

operation In the plan for an initial meeting
on December 1e at Harrisburg looking to
tha formation Of committees to work out
the idea The letter in pan follows:
Your experience in business has

business men are reaching today. viz,
that II would be to tho advantage OF

There has been lack Of harmony be-

The letter continues to say that every line
