Friendship.

Inc loftieSt test of friendShip--un-

power to do without it. And In this

We do not yield the friendship, but
must forego the comranionship. Then
comes the proof of our capacity for
sacrifice. our loyalty to the Highest
OF all. We turn our faces from each

our opposite ways. Gradually the
heavens widen and deepen above us;

RUGS MADE TO APPEAR OLD
ingenious Method by Which "Genuine
Antiques" Are Furnished to Sup
ply the Demand.

How genuine antique rugs" are
manufactured and prepared for Euro
pean and American markets is told
by an American who visited Bagdad.
The shopping streets seem like tun-
nels. They are arched overhead with
brick to keep out the heat; thus they
run. like subways up and down the
bazaar quarter. Through those long,
sitting. family lighted tunnels throngs
the eternal crowd of men, mules apc
camels.
OFTEN one will see fine rug ly.ng
fiat In the filth of a narrow street,
ground beneath the tramp of men
and beasts. but there is method In
this. Foreigners make oriental rugs
bright and new, in Persia, and sell
them through Bagdad. Since an "old
rug" is worth more. willy brokers have
hit on this way to make new rug
look old.

chance to keep in step with Cynthia s

site of "a Jolly Old Bachelor" and
state that believe in the foolish (?)
dreams of romance and adventure? 1t
that there are some real live women
who would give up $40 job to
make man happy on his $50 per
week. And any woman who would not
marry and make happy the man she
truly loved isn't worth piece of money
with a square cut in the center.
Many of our so called successful men
talk of prosperity and progress as the
end. not the means. They consider
twenty four hours day and in so doing
have lived it. They do not know OF
a generous fire of heart. Some Of them
marry. have children, make wills and
die. They are buried. with three hour
mourners and melody of hymns writ

lor myself (in fact. am sti serving

l. envy the woman who has glossy hair
which stays put. Were I one whose
hair curled in soft little tendrils
should probably pass by. the straight
haired sisters without a glance. But
alas my own fair locks are straight
and fly away. So you whose hair is
also unruly gather round me while l
whisper of my discovery. A certain
Frenchman, whose name you have no
doubt heard, has perfected preparation
which is not only excellent for the hair,
but which also slicks 1t back and keeps
it in place. This preparation comes in
stick form. One merely moistens it.
and applies it to the hair. The colors
are brown, white and> black, and the
price Is thirty cents. The name on the
package will inspire your confidence.
And while l am speaking of the
French, l may just as well be consist
ent, and make all of today's adventures
about the French. There is the matter
of pastry, for instance. Every one
knows that the French are noted for
their delicious pastry. If there had
been any doubt In my own mind about
1t. | need only to have known Peter,
who spent over glorious year with
them. and who still gets a faraway look
in his eye when any one speaks of
French pastry. Well. anyhow, to con :
tinue, Philadelphia boasts of at least
one real French bakery. where may be
bought crisp French twists, delicious
coffee cakes and real French bread---a
collection Of delicious things. And I
must admit that you really can taste
the difference. The shop is not very
far from the center of the town, and the
few squares you must walk to reach
1t are well worth while.
And then you have known me to OBJ
serve before, and recalling something
you already know, the French women
are past masters in the art of dressing
just the right finishing touch to an
otherwise perfect gown, exactly the
correct hat for the lines of a suit-they
seem to sense these things. And in the
matter of wells they have again tri
Lmphed. l speak of the complexion
wells, of fine net in white or flesh, and
sprinkled with tiny black dots. Until
you have tried one over your face you
will find 1t difficult to believe how great :
y one will enhance your appearance.
With cunning subtlety they cloud the
face just sufficiently to soften the fea =
lures and color. During this month one
shop is having a special sale of these
wells at 81 30 yard. And they come
with variety of colors in the dots and
mesh.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence ROs

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
~AH your money and take your
choice" seems TO sum up the suit
situation for women this spring about as
well AS any other seven words could
possibly do it. For undoubtedly you do
pay your money. There Is no alterna-
tive so far as that goes. I would
like very much to tell you of a way
that you might get a presentable suit
at the old prices or a place where prices
had not advanced, but to do so would
be impossible.
SO you pay your money and undoubt-
cdly you take your choice, and seldom
has there been such a wide variety of
styles from which to choose. There is
no one single type of suit. II you are
young and slender and not too tall and
not too short you can probably wear
any sort that you like, but IL you are
not so blessed then you will have to be
guided by your type of figure, and this
season you will be poor buyer indeed
if you do not select one sort. from
among the many sorts presented, that
becomes you.
The little suit am showing today is
of navy blue and the jacket, collar,
sleeves and the tunc of the skirt are
finished with loops of black silk braid.
A band OF the same braid trims the
coat. sleeves and tunic. There is dis
tinct smartness in this looped braid.
The vest is OF embroidered satin. The
sleeves are of three quarter length, d
detail which, along with the shortness
of the jacket, makes it a good model
when you wish to wear it through the
spring and into the summer. The
rounded, youthful collar is held with
novelty fastening that I am sure you
will like. With this navy suit the model
who wore 1t followed the example OF
some of the smart women one sees at
the winter resorts and wore a bright
| Jade green taffeta hat. They are ex
tremely smart with navy blue. This
hat has narrow brim of black straw
and black ribbon at the front.

said a young man wanted to kiss her at

HIM a kiss. When you marry go to
your husband all his own, not just the
sweetness others have left" insisted
the boys go home at 10 o'clock, "as she
must have her beauty sleep" Some did
not like it. but after she married her
husband came to me and said: IT do
