Suddenly Peter pricked up his long ears. Then he sat up, for it seemed to him that he could hear better sit- ing up. Anyway he could look around better. “If I didn't hear some one sing- ing then my name isn’t Peter Rabbit,” muttered Peter, “It wasn’t very much s ¥ os e ity ununéi“ a song and it was one I never have heard before, but it was a song. Now who of my feathered friends would be singing at this time of year? Most of them left long ago for the Sunny South. Besides I don’t know any who would sing in the dark at this time of year. I have heard Whitethroat the Sparrow sing in the night, but that wasn't Whitethroat’s song and White- throat isn't here anyway.” For a long time Peter sat there lis- tening, but the song wasn't repeated. Finally he atted down in and discontent, of him once more. He didn't even notice that the clouds had broken and a few stars were peeping through. Not even when sweet Mistress Moon appeared and her silvery light made white patches among the trees did Peter take notice. Yes, indeed, Peter was out of sorts. And then Peter heard that little song . There was no doubt of it. His ears hadn't fooled him as he had be- gun to think they might have. That song reminded him of the singing of some of the members of the Warbler family and yet was not exactly like the song of any of the Warblers he could think of.* Anyway the Warblers had gone to the Sunny South long since. - ‘The song had seemed to come from near an old partly rotted stump or from the stump itself. Peter wasn't sure which. He looked eager!” for & impse of the singer, but he looked vain. saw no one. It gave him a funny feeling. It did so. But though he had a funny feeling, because that song was new and strange and bzcause he could not seec the singer, he no longer felt out of sorts. No, sir, he no longer felt out of sorts. That song had chased the gloom and blues away. Also it had awakened his curiosity, and when Peter becomes curious he becomes happy in _trying to satisfy that curiosity. Peter waited expectantly for that song to be repeated. He waited a long time. He had about decided that the little singer had gone to sleep when onee more he heard that song. It cer- fainly came from somewhere around that old stump. Peter did not move for fear that he might alarm the little lln!er. but he looked and looked and | looked. Alas, all his looking was in vain. Not a bird was to be seen, Peter had no more idea than before who that became more curious. Who could that singer be? (Copyrieht. 1930. - AR, Orange Sherbet.

I con- sider it a give-and-take proposition, and there are times when I give much more than I take, yet I get more pleasure from the giving. But to be a little more concrete, I have several friends who have all the qualities one would desire in the ideal friend. One offered when I sovel it to let me have a suni of money and in so doing I knew that was mal » t sacrifice. I, of course, refused. On the other hand, I have another riend who has a heart of gold, yet he is careless and irresponsible. I him my car sometimes and he does not always bring it back in the same condition that he received it. My folks say that he is just making a thing of me, yet I find that I love him for just what he is—his big, careless, irresponsible’ self. What. do you think? J. M. A Answer: I think that you have a fine and noble conception of friendship. The only way we can get any pleasure out of our friends is by accepting them as they are instead of trying to make them over according to some little standardized pattern of our own. As & matter of fact, the thing that kills friendship oftener than anything else is the effort people make to force their friends to conform to all their ways and prejudices. Their friends must hink as they think, must live as they ’!’)‘l’" n';u.lt read the books they read and play the same kind of bridge that ey play. ship that we have to buy with our gfl'mmll liberty comes at too high a price and so we drift away from those whom we really love and an affection that might have beautified our lives is lost. bl You will invariably find that people who complain that they have no friends are men and women of the rigid reformer type, who feel that they have a right to police the lives of those with whom they associate. Cassius said to Brutus: “A friend should bear with a friend's Infirmities.” He may even do more. He may love him the more and be more tender to him because of certain weaknesses that call forth a sympathy and a protective quality that we do not give to the strong. ‘The thing that makes friendship so rich is that we ean love a dozen dif- ferent people for a dozen different qualities, We can admire and lean on John because he is so competent and strong and we can love James because he is & Peter Pan who will never grow up and realize a man’s responsibilities. We can love Bill because he is witty and brilliant and cynical and Percy because his head and heart are full of beautiful dreams and he is as confiding as a child. But you already know all of this and more, for you have th Iriendship, which,%believe-me, is Gm.i's PNI‘Pdlctlofl on a man, DOREOT!;Y “I;tllx?' . EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a 16-year-old girl, good-looking and well dressed, but I talk an awful lot and never stop to think before I speak. But here is my tale of wee. I can’t seem to make a hit with the boys. Do you think my talking too much has anything to do with it? SWEET SIXTEEN. Most of us get tired of their petty tyranny and rebel against it. The friend- | Anwser: 1 should say yes, because if you chatter all the time without put-, ting any thought into what you are saying you must be such a bore thaf ou can’t wonder that anybody flees from you. Believe me, my dear child, | there is no one else in the world so tiresome as the woman who just babbles. Conversation to be agreeable is a give-and-take proposition. It s not & one- woman game. Everybody must be drawn into it and take part in it. Nobody wants to listen to the individuals who monologue ak what experiences they have had, no matter how famous m—':u;n:ymégl "&m‘:a’g then, how a little 16-year-old girl. who s such a chatierbox that nobody cam shut, her up, must get upon the merves of-those Who are aflicted with her society.

Nor does it want to hear about our ailments or our operations or our cooks or our husbands or our wives or our children or our man servants or our maid servants or anything else that con- cerns us. “ s ee On the contrary, it wants to tell us all the thrilling details private history, and if we listen with an absorbed elm‘rsgsmn and °a!sk"‘l '}:’: q&z,s‘g(:‘nda!;hlt shows an intelligent interest we get the reputation of being s ; As for your speaking without thinking and saying the first thing that in your head, that is folly beyond compare.
