FRIENDSHIP.

through life with the idea that
they need no friends that
they are better off without
anyone in whom to conhde.
They are SO engrossed with
their business that they take
no time to cultivate acquaint-
ances. They do not seek
friendships. They walk down
the street staring straight
ahead or with their eyes on
the ground, paying no atten-
ton to anyone whom they
may pass.
They succeed in their busi-
ness, not because of their per-
sonality. but in spite of it.
They do not attract custom
ers, but rather repel them.
Their success is due to their
close application to their bus
mess and their knack of buy
ing what people want.
But there comes a day in
the lives of such men when
they realize their folly, when
they awaken to the fact that
one of the joys of life is the
friendships that may be
formed and strengthened as
time goes on.
When it dawns on this type
of men that they have made
a mistake. they turn to those
who should have been their
friends. for friendship, and
find that is is too late.
After they have passed the
meridian and begin to slip
backwards, when they should
have rich friendships stored
up, they discover there is no
place for them in friendships S
circle.
The mistake of this kind of
life is so apparent that there
Is no excuse for it. The man
who thinks he does not want
friends is all out of tune and
ne deserves what he gets
when he arrives at the point
where his mistaken viewpoint
in life is realized.
Making friends is easy with
some men; with others it is
d'tfcult, but he who wants
friends needs only to be
friendly.
Friendly men. like friendly
communities, attract friendly
men. No place is going tc
advance very far unless it:
people have a spirit o
'nendliness, for without
sympathetic understanding o
each others problems, CO
operation and mutual helpful
ness is impossible.

SYNOPSIS. - Nurses in the
Southern hospital at Avonmouth
are angered by the insolent
treatment accorded them by Dr.
John Lancaster, head of the In
stitution. and there is a general
feeling of unrest. into which
Joan Wentworth. probationary
nurse, is drawn. Doctor Lam
caster is performing a difficult
operation, for which he has won
fame. Joan, with other nurses,
Is in attendance. She Is upset,
through no fault of her own, and
makes a trivial blunder at a crit
ical moment. The patient dies
and Doctor Lancaster accuses
her of clumsiness. She Is sus-
pended, the action meaning the
end of her hope of a career as
q nurse. without relatives or
friends. and desperate. Joan,
urged by her landlady. goes to
Doctor Lancaster's office to ask
him to overlook her blunder and
reinstate her. She overhears
violent alteration between Doc
tor Lancaster and other men she
does not see. Joan Is struck by
the favorable change in the ap-
pearance and demeanor of the
doctor, recalling that at times In
the hospital he has been gentle
and thoughtful and at others SUI
percilious and bullying. He tells
her he can do nothing for her at
the hospital. but offers her po-
sition in a nursing institution in
the country. telling her she can
be of great assistance" to him.
A man named Myers demands
she tell him what the doctor had
said to her. She denies him the
information, and he covertly
threatens her. At the institu-
ton. which is owned by Doctor
Lancaster, Joan finds Myers. He
tells her he is the secretary. She
instinctively dislikes and fears
him. The only patient at the
institute is a Mrs. Dana. de-
mented but harmless. Joan is
vaguely uneasy. feeling that
there Is some mystery about the
place. Doctor Lancaster arrives
Joan accuses him of deceiving
her. declaring her intention of
leaving. He. tells her he Is the
patient who needs her, saying he
wants help in big fight" but
makes no further explanation.
She decides to stay. Evidently

JOHN PAUL JONES AND
aDELIA"
ss( OMMAND your mistress; give me
~ this hannfnpss-D
By JOSEPH KAYE

ssCSOMMAND your mistress; give me
this happiness"
In such impassioned words the
Comtesse de Nicolsen addressed the
soldier Of fortune, John Paul Jones.
The cOmtesse was beautiful, the wife
Of highly placed emissary to France
from Holland, rich and surrounded by
members of the most exclusive society,
but 1t was John Paul Jones, the COM
mander of ragged makeshift for
navy. who ruled her heart.
John Paul Jones was one of the first
American sea fighters. He was re-
markable man in that, aside from his
adventurous Instincts, which placed
him on the sea at the age of twelve,
he was educated, polished, possessed
charming manner. a good CONVERSE
tionalist and made fair verse when
properly inspired by beauty. After
Jones had served brilliantly in the new
Continental navy he put himself in the
service of Catherine of Russia. The
intrigues of GATHERINGS court disgust
ed him and he went to Paris, his ia
vorite city, and died there Of dropsy.
Two women loved Jones and he Is
recorded as loving only one, Aimee de
Telison. But love letters found among
his effects show to what extent the
attachment between him and the
Comtesse de Nicolsen, whom he called
Della" after sentimental poem Of
the time.
Pardon me, oh, my beloved" wrote
the comtesse. while tears stained the
sheet, "if am indiscreet, but am
tortured with fears on your account,
fears which felt at Torrent, but
which, observing your reticence on all
such matters, l never dared to ex-
press. am told that neither yourself
nor your people are paid In the name
of the love which is consuming me

to you. have diamonds and posses
sions of all sorts and could easily
realize the amount. Command yOnr

me who would fly to your assistance.
Twenty times while in your arms
pinned to propose it but feared to dis
please you. =.
Dear and too adorable friend, what
would not give II you were free to
remain in France! Oh, God! am
dying to regain you, never again to
separate from you. But no! I feel
by the anguish of my soul which
seems to whisper to me, that l shall
never see you again. Heavens! Jones
will forget me He may cease to love
me! No-his noble heart is incapable
of such cruelty and trust him as
would in heaven itself.
Pardon. dear love, the confusion of
my words. My distress absorbs all my
thoughts. -"
The time for parting came and
Jones wrote the message that an
nounced the day Of his leaving. And
his note, was as tear-stained as her
letters had been. as her reply shows:
"Your letter of Tuesday :. tears
my heart and augments my despair.
With the grief of a desolate child ]
, kissed the dear marks of your tears
while those that fell from my eyes
were the crueiest, the bitterest of my
life"
s The most fervid fires, however, burn
themselves out in time; neither died
from grief at the separation, and
when the lovers met again it was on
the basis of disinterested friendship.

ANTIQUE FLASKS
BRING GOOD
PRICES
The Connoisseur Describes
Some OF the Makes in Early
American History

The story OF antique bottles is one
Of absorbing interest. During the
first seventy years Of the nineteenth
century. fancy pocket TASKS and
bottles were made in the United
States. During this period of de-
velopment, colors and sizes varied
too much to be a real test Of age.
The SCARED base and sheared neck
are the surest test, the older shapes
having the neck sheared with
scissors, leaving it irregular, and on
the base, rough circular scar left
by breaking the glass from the
pontil or iron rod, which held the
bottle while being finished by the
workman.
Smooth and hollow bases were
made between 1850-60 by means Of
SNAP" or case, which held the
bottle while finishing, at which time
ring or band was added to the
mouth.
Twenty-Five known TASKS bear
ornaments of an American eagle;
nineteen bear ornaments of the head
of Washington, and twelve bear or
naments of the head of Taylor.
The log cabin designs are con-
nected with the Harrison hard
cider" campaign of 1910. These
dark brown and green whiskey bot
ties in shapes of log cabin (Booz)
are souvenirs of this date. They
were made in New Jersey by the
Whitney Glass Works for a Phila-
delphia distiller named E. c. Booz.
1t is especially interesting to note
that these bottles were promptly re-
ferred to as booze" bottles. Their
introduction by r. c. Booz in 1910
Is intimately connected with the
tradition Of the initial use of the
word booze" in the vernacular.
BooZ was active in the Presidential
campaign of William Henry Harri-
son, Of 1910, and had bottles for
his whiskey made in the form of
log cabins, the Harrison symbol.
These bottles were eight inches high
and supposed to hold one quart. AT
a recent sale Of a curio collection in
New York, two of these bottles sold
for $28 and $40 respectively.
Interesting among the old Ameri.
can bottles are the Kossuth and
Jenny Lind TASKS. These were all
made about 1S4S. One of Taylor's
