PLAToNIc FRIENDSHIP.

Almost every young married couple
boasts of n single friend, a former
chum of the husbands, whose privi-
lege it is to drop in at any time, max
ing himself entirely at home. Indeed
he seems to be almost an independent
adjunct to the family. If the husband
is too busy to take his wife out to the
alter or ball, the friend always stands
ready to take her. 1t is not long be-
fore the bride looks to her husband
to make the money to support the
household and looks to the friend for
pleasure and companionship. To him
she confides her little grievances. He
feels in duty bound to console her with
his sympathy. Theirs is platonic
friendship.
But such friendships are far better
in the avoidance than in the obServ-
ance. A man may with propriety take
the wife of q friend to some social
function, if the husband makes the ur-
gent request. He is detained by bust
ness. Two tickets to the theater have
been purchased. Wife is at home max
ing ready. Her disappointment would
be keen to miss that particular play.
1t is courtesy for good-natured friend
to throw himself into the breach and
place his service at the husbands dis
posal. But for the single man delib-
erately to beau his friends young wife
about and from choice pass his eve
nings in her society has no reasonable
excuse TO uphold 1t. Interest may fiut-
ter beyond the bounds of calm, cold,
secure friendship, though neither may
be aware of the exact state of affairs.
The single man is safe only In
spending his leisure evenings with
marriageable young ladies and escort

ing them about. Someone ...~- -..,...ee-
where said, and with more than a
grain of truth, that '"There is 10 such
thug as 'platonic friendship" a man
whn is constantly attracted TO & parti-
cular woman's side is infatuated with
her. 1t depends entirely upon mans
disposition whether he is mildly in
fatuated or deeply infatuated. The
man or woman who first notices this
state of situation or feeling should I'M
mediately put him or herself beyond
the pale of undue interestedness.
1t is the mutual friend, edging in
between husband and wife, that brews
much of discomfort between man and
wife. Such wife has two pairs of
strong arms to lean on instead of one.
Usually the platOnic friend wins out.
Few mutual friends would turn out to
be the wife's admirers, but wise is the
husband who takes no chances of Ge-
strOying his home and happiness by
bringing a handsome, tickle friend Of
his bachelor days into his home, urg-
ing him to make himself one of the
family. Husbands should shield their
innocent, thoughtless wives from every
danger.

ing his hand. while Jimmy Dime was
slapping his face and in other ways
trying to resuscitate him.
At last George came to with jerk,
and when Dime called to him, he
seemed as though he woke with start,
for he said:
Hello! What's wrong?"
Dime smiled sad, grim smile, and
replied:
you've been knocked out"
Chip looked at Dime for a few Sec
onds and then grinned:
"Quit trying to kid me, Jimmy" he
said. "How could I be knocked out
when the fight doesn't begin until to-
night?"
Dime had quite q time convincing
the stupefied Chip that he wasn't In
his own bed on the morning before the
fight, but that he actually was on the
floor of the ring in which Darcy had
dealt out to him such crushing de-
feat.

BREAKING HIS PROMISE.

In polite society such thing as a
mans breaking an engagement to call
on a particular evening is seldom
heard of. If some unforeseen, I'M
preventable circumstance arises that
deters him from keeping his engage
ment, he telephones, telegraphs or
sends a note of explanation by a spe-
cial messenger. This is exactly what
he should do. Yet there are men, and
well-tO-dO men at that, who snap their
| fingers at etiquette's requirement,
making an appointment with young
girl to call upon her, having no inten-
ton of keeping the appointment. while
uttering the words.
What young gill confided to me re-
Gently on this subject caused me much
serious elaboration. She is pretty
girl, in a department store. She said ::
"a few weeks ago, was introduced
| to a young man of fine family an0
position. He paid me marked atten-
| ton the entire evening, escOrting me
home from a friends house. He lin
gered at the door, even after l had
thanked him for seeing me home and
said goodnight. May have the pleas
ure of seeing you soon again? he
asked. My home was not fitted to re-
ceive callers. I answered that / would
be glad to let him call, if he could let
me know in advance, which would
mean making sure that I would be
home. Suppose we make it Sunday
afternoon, around five O'clock he sug.
gested. I much preferred that the
time should be set for evening. OF
course, I could not say so. You will
have to invite him for dinner said
mother There was great upheaval
in our flat during the week that fol-
lowed. Much was done to make our
home appear at least comfortable and
cozy in the eyes of this rich young
man. We were obliged to take from
our rent money we had saved to pur-
chase food for our dinner. Mother
declared there was nothing like giving
q man a fine dinner to put him in good
huInOr. The afternoon arrived. Five
o'clock came, six, seven and eight, still
he did not put in an appearance. Then
I burst into tears at the great expense
I had put my folks to, and the family
sat down to the belated feast. I never
heard from him from that day to this.
There's more Of that sort of thing go
ing on than you would believe. If you
can draw the attention Of a certain
class of young men to it, you would
help many a girl, Miss Libbey.'
The class Of young men who break
such promises do not do SO deliberate
ly, am glad to say. They are simply
thoughtless. The promises are made
on the spur Of the moment. 1t does
not occur to such men that the young
women will be put to any expense On
their account. Afternoon calls should
be from two to four, or 80 at the
latest. Evening calls suit the major
ity Of girls better. There is no worry
or expense attached to them.

young, thoughtless, and care-free. The
arrow of love had only glanced at her
heart, not entering it as 1T had entered
mine She met another who wOOed and
won her. My fault lay in my procedure
of courtship. Had I gained the good
will of her parents at the outset, I
would have had smoother sailing. Sc
cret courtships are dangerous to happi-

There's many young man in the
same boat as this one. For one rea-
son or another, they dread meeting the
parents, lest they lose the girl whom
they learned to care for. Seldom or
never does a girl feel contented if she
braves her parents disapprOval by not
letting them know of q lover who has
come into her life. Don't make enemies
of your sweetheart's parents.

host at his ease, "does your sister think
