WHICH IS NOT BREAD"
WHEREFORE Do YE SPEND MONEY FOR THAT
WHICH Is NOT BREAD? AND YOUR LABOR FOR THAT
WHICH SATISFIETH NOT9

| read that one morning in church, and it glued itself to
my Consciousness. 1t was so arresting, so utterly right, one
OF those simple truths that you wonder how on earth you could
have missed putting into words yourself.
The thing is so absurdly simple. Why indeed do YOU not
get the worth of your labor and your money! It's simply
a matter of using your brains. Think, and discriminate
L do not believe that the very pertinent query quoted
above Is an appeal to ones self interest. 1t doesn't mean
that one should choose his friends for what she can "get out
of them" in the sense that a blood-sucker attaches himself
to human toes for the tasty blood that he can imbibe there
from. q
The implied answer is that one is foolish to waste her
money and her labor ON efforts and on relations which do not
nourish and do not satisfy. When a woman discovers that
her social circle is not the kind that satisfies her, the kind
with whom a blessed exchange Of friendinesses is impossible,
let her take the heroic method of separating herself from
them. Pruning is essential to the best growth of rose bushes
and grape vines and fruit trees. The principle works Just
the same way in human relationships. Cut yourself off from
those associations that mean nothing.
Then, to continue the metaphor, if the soil is kept loose,
if the right fertilizer is added, if the spraying is done when
ever necessary, and if the supply of moisture is adequate,
then the growth of the rose bush is assured. Roses and grape
vines and fruit trees require care, intelligent care. AS the
nurserymen say, that's why they are called nursery stock.
They have to be "nursed along" so patiently. The pruning
is only one of the duties Of the nurse
You see the application of the metaphor: Prune off the
dead wood of meaningless acquaintance, and then tend care
fully the vigorous, healthy growth SO that it will bear the
flowers and the fruit of real friendships.
Friendship will not bear neglect. Keep it we'll watered,
but don't drown it. Give it air and room, and a place by
itself in the sun. Don't worry it with too much attention.
And don't treat it too daintily, but as Emerson says, with
toughest courage. When they (friendships) are real, they
are not glass threads or frostwork, but the solidest thing we
know"
And it is just because friendships are the soidest thing
we know that we do not wish to spend ourselves on that which
is worthless, 'for that which is not bread. for that
which satisfeth not"

BROADCASTS

husbands, Common and Preferred
some women place queer values
upon human affection.
Here are two women in the sam
Middle West city who find loves
young dream translated into dollars
OF widely varying figures.
one woman values her broken
heaft at $500, which a jury consid-
cred a fair price. She was left wait
ing at the church while the CAV mil
anderer roamed elsewhere, marrying
anorher girl at the hour she was
scheduled to become his bride,
n other woman valued her hus-
band at exactly $500 when she sued
him o non-support. His brother
telephoned her that he had been
kidnapped and that it would take
s500 to get him back.
With a true feminine instinct for
bargain values she promptly replied
that he wasn't worth it, and that
5000 was as high as she cared to GO.
With the world so full OF smart
lawyers it seems as if some scale
ought to be definitely arranged.
Breach of promise suits are common
affairs; so are divorces. There ought
to be ample precedent for such a
scale of monetary values in connec-
ton with heart problems.
Possibly husbands could be divided
into m and preferred stock,
according to financial rating, dispos-
ition, views on mn suffrage, taste
in neckties and tendency to stay out
late at night.
Banks which advertise so ardent
ly their services in offering advice on
investments could establish q special
department to pass upon whether
candidates for husbandry are as
good as Government bonds or are
merely idle speculation.
With the husband situation cared
for in this manner it would auto
matically forestall these expensive
breach of promise suits.
If the girl who valued her broken
heart at $500 were to discover that
the gent who Tilted her was quoted
al away below par as a prospective
husband anyhow, she could find con-
ISOLATION and collect accordingly.
Husbands appear to be valued chief
IL by the women who do not possess
them.

NEW YORK, June 4:-The worst
henpecked husband in the world
is the carefree gypsy!
So says Louise Rice, authoress,
who is known as the 'kosko gorgio"
the good stranger-of the many
gypsy tribes that restlessly roam the
country.
Studying the Romany race has
been a hobby of Miss Rice. After
many years she learned to talk the
gypsy tongue.
Finally" she says, 81 gained their
confidence. Bue it was a long time
before L went through the strange
ceremony which permitted me to be
a skirt and knife member of the
tribe. Then l was able to get behind
the scenes and see the real life of
the gypsy tribe.
The gypsy woman is the real boss
in tribal life. The man has no money
except that which his wife allows
him. He has no authority over the
children. He is a pauper.
But he is a whopping liar. He
loves a good lie and will tell it with
the greatest conviction. 1t is his
pastime, his hobby, and no one who
knows anything about the real Ro-
many will ever believe what a man
of the race tells him.
Most gypsies in America are part
Hungarian. Rumanian, Russian or
Spanish. Yet all of them adhere TO
the same ideas, superstitions and Sc
cret religion. They worship Isis,
goddess of Egyptian myth ology.
THE gypsies of today cover the
same routes their ancestors have
driven over for the past 200 years,
but so secretive are they, unless they
want to make some money fortune
