Horking Back 10 "Queed''

No more charming book was ever written that that best seller. of several years ago. "Queed," by Henry sydnor Harrison. and many are the times that I recall something from that delightful book.
 Only recently it came upon me something that tho unique hero Of Mir. Harrison's book said in regard to friends"
 The trouble about having friends, according to "Queeds" philosophy. "is that they take up too much of your time when they are living and then they go and die and upset your even ings' (by weighing on your mind).
 And "Queed" before two clever girls got hold of him and strengthened him out and "humanized" him and life dealt him a heavy blow that took all the conceit out if him--was abso- lutely systematically friendless, so he thought.
 of course there arc few people of our acquaintance as self centered as "Queed" was although there are some whose cosmos is all ego" as Shar- lee expressed it pithldy, describing Mir Harrison's odd character and much to Queed's dismay-yet there certainly are scores of us who take OuI loi cHAtfCiJ tpN much. We lunch with them and dine with them, and motor with them and work side by side with them, and do not stop to realize what an impor tant place they have in our lives, because we just lose them as a mat ter of course"
 Suddenly "a pause comes in the days occupation;'' something hap pens. and at once our friends gather about us and are the only solace we have and we come to realize the vast difference between friends and mere acquaintances.
 l was reading not long ago little incident which bears upon this idea which, briefly told, is this;
 'I was sitting the other day" said the writer "by tho bedside of a man who was i'll in a hospital. l was relieving one in charge. Innumerable notes and telegrams and flowers and other friendly expressions of sym pathy had been coming in all morn ing. The man had been suffering greatly, and to divert his mind I had been reading a list of those who had affectionately remembered him. Sud- denly he opened his eyes and said slowly, with precise distinctness. em- phasizing his words with his fore finger:
 "I want to tell you one thing, and don't you forget 1t. When you get down where I am now, only one thing counts--the kind thought of your
