WOMAN’'S PAGE Hip-Length Wraps for Summer BY MARY MARSHALL. In every woman's Summer wardrobe there should be shoft " hip-] ngth wraps which may be worn in the afternoon or evening without fear crushing the most diaphonous of materials.

The velvet wraps are usually finished with a lining of chiffon. A wrap of sort is a useful acces- sory of the bridesmaid's ensemble, since it “provides necessary protection to arms and shoulders and may be lald aside quickly when the bride and her attendants reach the church. At an Easter wedding the bride's gifts to her attendants consisted of velvet wraps of this sort of s soft jade green to har- monize with the Nile green tone of the dresses.

She watched shop windows, scrutinized the young lads in her friends’ families and talked masculine clothes over with her hus- band. She was not going to be caught nlppln‘ when her son reached the age where he took an interest in clothes. Of eourse, even now she was careful to avold frilly blouses or dainty hand- embroidered outfits for her son. She hunted the shops over, trying to find which was not would prove dis- some head coverin g'l"lilh and yet whicl ctive. He was too yo for & cap, and there seemed nothing but a beret. What, she wondered, did small boys ‘wear before berets came into fashion? In studying clothes for the 4 and § year-old boy she realized that pull-over sweaters of jersey with jersey shorts to match were always good. So were the suits made of linen with plain blouses and shorts of another color tached to blouse by a belt which was ‘The older boys were wearing suits which were like the golf suits of their fathers. That is, the knickerbockers were fairly full, fastening below the knee. The coat was single-breasted with notched lapels and pockets of good size with flaps to cover the bulging top.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX—How much have our friends the right to impose on us in the name of friendship? I get a fair salary, but certain of my friends keep me strapped by continually borrowing money that they never repay. These friends are not poor and I find that much of this borrowed money is used to entertain others, and I have gone without things myself to give them the money they wasted. At first I couldn't refuse to lend to them because I felt I couldn't hurt their feelings, and now when I say “no” they aceuse me of not being a true friend. ALICE A. Answer: There is no truer proverb, Alice, than the old one that warns us that when we lend to a friend we lose both our money and our friend. Why people should resent paying a debt to & friend more than they do to & mm, or consider it a less binding obligation, no one knows. They simply do, that's all. And there is no surer way of alienating friends than by trying to collect the money you have let them have in some time of need. Everybody has had this sort of experience. Lend John $50 and he will consider you a Shylock if you ever mention the matter to him again. Lend Tom your automobile and if he breaks a spring he will never like you again if you send him the bill for the repairs. I once knew a woman who lent some young friends, who were just sta to housekeeping and ‘who had neither money nor furniture, a lot of antique iture which was very valuable. They used this for seven years, but to this day they haven't iven her for taking it back again, and consider that she somehow defrauded in wanting her own. Perhaps the reason for this is because so many people regard rrundnh.lr a8 only a graft. They have no conception of friendship as an unseifish af- fection which asks nothing in return but affection and companionship, which gives rather than takes, and which finds its happiness in adding to the hap- piness of another. Baby is gettin’ p'tty selbish. Her wouldn't gib me & bite, an’ now her’s grudgin® eben the dogs a bite. (Copyright, 1930.) LITTLE SISTER BY RUBY HOLLAND That kind of friendship, the !fllndlhls that comes to us n-handed in our hour of need, that pours out its sympas upon us, and rejoices and weeps with us; that give us mental and spiritual substance, is one of the most beau- titul and satisfying relationships in the world. None of us have lived in vain if we have that kind of friend. None of us can ever be lonely if we are blessed with friendship like that. That sort of friendship is far different from the greedy, grasping friend- ship that makes of our.friendship & tool wherewith to “work” us; that takes advantage of our affection and makes it hard to say “no” to favors asked of us; that imposes upon us because we cannot defend ourselves from our friends &8 we can from our enemies. Who among us escape these deadbeat friends? Who has not had ex- perience of the friends who not only borrow money which they never repay, but who borrow everything else you possess? They borrow your new book be- fore you have time to read it and never return it. They borrow your new gown and sofl it, borrow your car and send it back a wreck, borrow your traveling bags and scuff them up, then eriticise you for being pernickity when you don’t seem overjoyed at having your cherished possessions ruined. And who has not had the pestiferous friends who make a free hotel of your house, and descend upon you, bag and baggage, for an indefinite stay whenever they feel like it, and who never consult your convenience. —The brand of friendship that is equivalent to free board and lodging is, at least, mfl to suspicion, but all of us have our quota of those who discover how much y love us and how they yearn to see us whenever they want to come to the city | “I 'scovered about twins.

A little bramble-tangle was growing right near where Peter had found the Columbine. He could sit in that bram- ble-tangle and be safe and at the same time look at and admire the nodding blossoms. So Peter made himself very comfortable there. From time to time he dozed off. Between little naps he watched the Columbine blossoms as the Merry Little Breezes swayed them this way and that. It was alonig in the middle of the morning that Peter heard voices. They were the voices of children. They were laughing and -huutlng’,‘ and Peter knew by the sound that they were in the lower part of the Old Pasture. At first he d little attention to them.

Peter wanted to stamp an- grily at her, He knew it was thought- lessness on her part, but he also knew that in time there would be no arbutus left if every one were so thoughtless. Later he saw one of the boys do the Some of the flowers in the hands of these children were sadly wilted. All their beauty was gone. Peter knew just how lovely they had been and he couldn’t understand at all why these children should want those sickly, drooping blossoms, which no longer were beautiful. But they did want them, and they wanted more, for they were searching here, there and every- where. Then Peter remembered the Colum- bine blossoms upon the rocky ridge. ‘Those children would be sure to find them, and if they found them, they would take not only the blossoms, but the whole plant as well. At least, that is what Peter feared. He must do some- thing about it. Yes, sir, he must do something_about it, and he must do it quickly. But what could he do? He couldn’t tell those little folk that they shouldn’t pick the flowers, Of course not.
