she ever refused anything you ask of

she ever refused anything you ask of
! herr
AS a matter of fact, you never ask
anything of Jeanette. You are ut
| terly terrified at the mere thought of
putting yourself under obligations to
| her.
Let us go back to the quotation of
our dear friend, r. l.. s.. 80 long
| as we love we serve;" that Is mutual,
is 1t not We give and take service.
But II we were to exact 1t, the SER
vice would become tyranny, not SER
vice.
so long as we are loved by some
one, I would almost say that we are
Indispensable" While someone pours
out on us affection and devotion, we
have real place in the scheme of
| life. We matter we count, and In
possessing friendship we are of use.
But how can anyone be a useful
human being If he is so obsessed by
himself that ne cannot see his
friend? Generosity makes a real
| friend rejoice in the beautiful effect
another might produce in a dress of
black velvet and forget the unbe-
comingness of her own dull crepe de
chine. Real friendship respects the
rights of another-the right to look
charming or to make a good impress
sion or to carry out her own plans.
: Whimpering and whining at your
own i'll fortune as contrasted with
the good fortune of a friend is COM
pletely ungenerous.
Friendship does not compare or
measure or demand. 1t recognizes
only its rights to give and inevitably.
in return for that giving, there Will
be other giving.
The girl who makes herself miser-
able because her chum is popular
tist-not a friend.
The boy who sulks over his lack
of advancement the more bitterly
because his pal is striding ahead in
the world is a vain misanthrope.
The man who would deprive a
friend of full measure of happiness
and success and achievement because
his morose selfishness cannot bear
the success of someone else as COM
pared to his own failure is a pre-
destined failure.
Each of us is an Individual. No
matter how generous friendship is,
it cannot do away with this fact. The
only way to share in q friends sue
ess is to rejoice in it; the only way
to be a friend is to be sufficiently
generous to see the success of your
friend whole-heartedly, with full
vision and with no ugly restraining
feeling of contrast between his good
fortune and your i'll luck.
None of us has any right to de
mand" that a friend rejoice in our
joy or share our sorrow. But a real
friend demands this and more of
himself

Heads Of Brotherhoods
Discuss Probable Wage
Increase With Wilson
BY Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 22.-Heads of
the four railroad brotherhoods came
here to-day at President Wilson's
request to discuss with him their
proposed new demands for higher
wages. The President was prepared
to tax up the problem with a free
hand, so far as the railroads are
concerned, having been formally
notified that the roads will abide by
any steps he sees fit to take.
An entirely new proposal which 1t
is understood, the brotherhoods plan
to make is that rail transportation
during the war, with respect to re-
lations of the carriers and employees
be dealt with, formation of a new
Federal commission to have COM
plete Jurisdiction and power over the
companies and workmen. They plan,
1t is stated, to ask the President to
appoint such a commission, with
plenary powers headed by some
prominent official thoroughly con-
versant with the transportation situ-
alton.
