a tug and heard a rustling sound,
which turned her completely over, she
was so astonished.
The silk quilt seemed to have lifted
from the bed, and all the bits of gayly
Powered silks and the plain ones as
well were old-fashioned gowns-the
styles were In the days of hoopskirts.
One Powered silk gown that seemed
to be more aristocratic than the 9TH

The soft, silvery blue dress tried
to smooth matters. over. "Why should
we get angry because we are called
old-fashionedY' it said.
"You were very beautiful that night
of the big ball, and your flowers are
as bright as the night you danced the
minuet."
This seemed to calm the Powered
dress, and it sighed as 1t said:
"Oh, that was a wonderful dancel

YOUR FRIENDS

THE man who doesn't make friends
isn't worth his salt. Man is a So
cial animal. He needs friends to talk
to-and to listen to. They are the
solace of his leisure hours. They are
his cOnfidants in his time of trouble.
Without them he might as well be an
outcast on desert island.
Make all the friends you can. At
best you will make but a few, for
there will be but few men who will
take you at your own value, and have
enough interests in common with you
to be really your friends.
But never use friendship as means
OF advancement. Put business on
business basis.
Be independent Of friendship In your
work. Advancement obtained through
friendship is obtained through favor.
And what is obtained through favor
Is Of no value.
Never make the mistake Of depend
ing on friend in business relation
ship. Often your friend can and will
help you. But that sort of help is not
the help you want
Sooner or later, If you are going to
get anywhere, you will discover that
you must depend on yourself, and
yourself alone.
Your friends can advise you, they
can Sympathize with you, they can If
they are honest point out your mis-
takes to you-provided you are big
enough to let them.
But neither by lending you money
or securing you positions or promo
lions, can they be of any true value
to you.
II they are rich and powerful, they
will assist you not because Of your
deserts, but because Of their liking
for you.
Through such assistance you will get
a false idea Of your Importance, Of
your worth in the world.
And when you wake up some morn
ing and see yourself in your true light
you are going to be sadly disillusioned.
Make friends and keep them. Make
them, II you can, among men Of diff
ferent callings, so that you can ex-
change ideas with them and broaden
yourself
Interest yourself in what they are
doing, and interest them in what you
are doing. Spend your leisure with
them. Enjoy their comradeship. But
never depend on them. Friendship was
not meant for ladder by which
to climb to higher places in the world.
It is too sacred for that.

THE
UNDER-DOG
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH


THE under-dog is popular,
= And ev'rybody's for him:
They root for him both near and far,
The orators adore him.
They hope he wins his gallant fight,
He hears lot Of roofing
But ev'ryone gets out of sight
The minute there Is shooting.
The under-dog has caught the crowd !;
Folks full Of admiration
VIII shout his praises long and loud,
In earnest adulation.
They raise an awful lot Of din:
Their lungs are good and Timber
But when the upper starts to win
They beat It for the timber.
The under-dog Is In the right,
OF that they're always certain;
They hate to see him lose the fight
And get the final curtain.
But. when the dog that Is atop
Begins to really get him,
To see the rest they never STOP
They run away and let him.
It seems to me the under-dog,
II he could have the choosing,
When things are getting thick as fog
And plainly he is losing,
Would gladder be, without doubt,
If cheers you wouldn't yelp him
When he is nearly down and out
But just jump in and help himl

YOUR CALLS

THERE are some women who really
1 seem to delight in making their
calls on other women just when those
calls will cause the most embarrasS-
ment. Mrs. Jones, who has three or
four servants and no household re-
sponsibilities, save the supervision Of
her servants, seems to enjoy dropping
In on Mrs. Smith, who has three chill
dren and no servants, at about nine in
the morning, finding the Smith house
In considerable disorder, Mrs. Smith
in an ill-fitting morning dress, and the
youngest of the Smith children in his
most peevish mood. Mrs. Jones ex-
plains that she had important COM
mittee work to discuss with Mrs
Smith but she could just as well have
telephoned her errand or at least have
telephoned to warn Mrs. Smith of
her arrival.
Then there are the people who al
ways call when they know you have
house guests. They drop In Sunday
afternoon possibly when you have
planned to take a stroll over to the
Country club or to 60 motoring or
rambling through the country.
There are some people whom you
like very well and whose presence is
a pleasure when you meet them after
working hours whom you would very
much rather not have come to see you
at your Office or place Of business.
The day they select to drop in is sure
to be your busiest day. Don't let me
disturb you at ALL" they say, as they
tuck themselves into chair in your
Office. 81 haven't anything else to do
so I'll just sit here with book or a
magazine until you are ready to go
out for luncheon" Or possibly If You
have no Office Of your own they send
In for you to come to see them in the
outer office Of the establishment where
you work, or sit on stool in front Of
the counter where you work as sales
person, little realizing that they are
jeopardizing your position, possibly
by being seen there during business
hours
There are times when the short call
is required by courtesy, but to make
that call long is extremely inconsid-
crate. So when there is illness in
friends household you should call to
inquire for those who are i'll and also
to ask whether you can be of any serv-
nee. but your call, If you wish to make
yourself a welcome caller. should not
be extended over more than five or
ten minutes. Likewise a call of con-
unless, of course. 1t is perfectly patent
that In making it longer you are of
actual assistance or comfort.

JUDITH

JUDITH is sometimes confused with
j Edith because of its similarity OF
ending but this is an erroneous con-
tention. It really had its origin In
the difficult northern name of Gyda or
Gytha, which, because it sounds like
9th, the contraction of Eadgyth, is
believed to have some connection. But
Judith is purely northern, having be-
longed to the proud damsel Of Horda-
land, who refused to marry Harald
Harfagre unless he was sole king OF
all Norway. Later, 1t was given to
the semi-Danish ladies of Earl God
wins family and melted into Gjutha
Finally Jutta appears as contraction
for Juditha.
Judith, according to the Old Tesla
ment, was the heroine Of the book of
the same name In the Apocrypha. She
was beautiful Jewess of Bethulia
who, when her town was besieged by
Holoferness, the general of Nebuchad
nezzar, attended him in his tent and
when he was In his cups killed him
and cut off his head, whereupon her
townsmen fell upon the Assyrians and
defeated them with great slaughter
Judith has always been a favorite
Biblical name.
Perhaps because of this courageous
deed of the Biblical heroine, Judith
came to men praised" Judithe and
nd hn Erar lob
tives. The Italians have particularly
musical version, Giuditta. Judy is a
diminutive, used generally as form
of affection, except in the instance of
the Judy of the famous Punch aud
Judy show.
Judith has been beloved of authors,
but curiously enough her name has
been rather neglected by the poets.
There seems to be no noteworthy ex.
amples of odes to her or her heroic
deeds. But the lack has not discour-
aged the popularity Of her name In
England and America, while the har-
monious italian version has great
vogue In that country.
The Jade is Judith's talismanic
stone. Its milky green depths hold
promise of freedom from danger and
insure fearlessness in it's wearer. II
is a curative, according to popular
superstition, and hence is believed to
ward off disease and the jinx of bad
luck. Tuesday is Judith's lucky day
and her mystic number.
