TN Often you come across people who complain that they have but few friends. They will point to other people who have many and wonder why such a distinction is made. The matter is easy enough to ex- plain, for, as someone has well said, “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” For friendship cannot possibly be a one-sided matter. Just as it takes two to make a bargain or a quarrel, so does it take the same number to make a friendship. No one can stand aloof from oth- ers, waiting to be sought, without e periencing keen disappointment. This because friendships are not made that way. People do not look you over as you stand off by yourself and say: “Now, there's someone I'd like to know. I'll make a point to draw him or her out and take all the pains pos- sible to establish a friendship.” “That's not the way it happens in real life, although some still imagine that it is. What really does happen is this: Two people meet, and grad- ually they find points of congeniality, gradually each does little favors for the other, gradually a feeling of affec- tion takes root in each heart. Neither one is thinking of what can be gained from the acquaintarice; rather, each is thinking and planning to give instead of take. In other words, both are trying to be a friend unselfishly, And, lo, it is the very thing which makes their friendshij Success of Chicago A comfortable, home-like hotel in the business cen- ter of the city offer- every convenience i.:% every service, The best food is -served in the New Kaiserhof Restaurant at moderate prices. 480 Rooms $1.80 up With Bath $2.00 up WHITE MTS,, N.

By WILLIAM F. RIGGE. There are only two events of mie nor interest this month in the heav- ens. But as both take place in the early morning hours most of us will content ourselves with missing them. The first is that the beautiful planet Venus, which a few months ago was such a gem in our evening skies, is now an equally beautiful ornament in the morning and reaches its greatest brilliance on the 9th, when it rises at 2:36 a. m. “he second is an eclipse, technically an occultation, of the planet Saturn by the moon on the morning of the thh. Occultations of bright stars and especially of planets have been very rare of late years, the last one visible in Omaha having been that of Anta- res on June 26, 1912, And even this one is only halt a one, so, to speak because the moon will rise at 2:39 a. m, with Saturn hidden behind it, so that we shall be able to see only the reappearance of the planet from be- hind the moon at 3:1(! a. m. The hour may be inconveniently early, but there is no changing that. The moon will be a fine crescent low down in the east northeast. N. S. E. W. are its cardinal points in the annexed figure.

To II;I ake Housework Easier Women interested in securing new equipment for their homes will be glad to know of an up-to-date laun- dry asset, consisting of a well-made oak table with a hinged top. In the box formed under the top is fastened an adjustable board fitted to a rod held by screw eyes in such a way that it requires only a moment to bring out the board over the table top. The board is stationary and steady, and also comes fitted with a sleeve board. It is particularly useful in the home where space must be conserved, or where ironing is done in the kitchen, as it combines a regular kitchen table with a concealed ironing board. Foods attractively decorated or ser- ved encourage appetite. It takes but a few moments to scallop foods artis- tically, and there is on the market a small pincher-like scalloper which will find many uses in the kitchen. It can be used to scallop halves of muskmelon, cucumber cups, orange baskets, etc. So many foods are served thus in salad form, where the curved or fluted edge is more attrac- tive. This small scalloper has been well known for a number of years to chefs, but is just being put out for home use. Here it may also be said that there should be a wider use of the so-called French vegetable cut- ters. These cost only about a dime apiece and consist of small cones, at! the tip of which there is some particu- |lar pattern. No matter how careful the house- wife is indoors or how many plans she tries of fly extermination, the use of an out-door fly trap is wise. A good, serviceable wire trap is globe- like in shape, mounted on a steady metal pan; an inner partition divides the trap or bait. Flies enter from be- low and then in their effort to escape, !go through a small opening into the Nupper chamber, from which they can- not get out. Such a trap is to be placed near an outuoor closet, gar- bage pail, etc. The flies can readily be killed by immersing the trap in boiling water. Another advantage is that such trap catches the larger and more dangerous “bluebottle” and “horseflies,” which should be exterm- |inated, but which are not reached by ordinary house preventions. There is another labor-saving de- vice, that makes fioor scrubbing a 1 “lady’s job.” This is a floor scrubber that propels itself, noiselessly and with uncany efficiency. It departs radi- cally from the suction or vacuum type of cleaner, A siall electric mo- tor is attached to the fower end of a long iron handle, and as the motor spins it rotates a circular brush which can be applied with any de- | sired pressure to the floor surface. Behind the brush and motor are two little rubber-tired wheels, which not only act as a rolling equipment for the carriage, but also serve as a lever for regulating the presure of the ro- tating bristles against the floor.

Have you ever noticed how one little piece of kindness which comes under your observation will brighten the whole day? It needn’t happen to you—need not mean anything at all in your own life or personal experi- ence, but just seeing it may give you a splendid glow of cheer. Here is a little true story, ' It hap pened the other, day. Next to me in the car sat a well- dress young woman of the dignified and somewhat repressed type general- ly attributed to New England. None of us expect warm and %riendly ad- vances from “typical New England- ers” even though we know what splendid friends they make once we come to know them. Just in front of us were sitting two little girls. They were of the warm, vivid southern type—Italian children, I fancy. They were shabbily dressed, but they had cheery, sunshiny, good- natured faces. One of them carried a great .bunch of spring flowers and the other one had a single spray of lilacs in her hands. It happened that I was wearing some wonderful roses which a friend had given me. But the “New England woman” had no flowers. . Suddenly the little girl who carried the single spray of lilacs smiled shyly and proffered it to my neighbor. The woman flushed and shook her head rather stiffly, But the child’s smile friendly, “Please take “All the rest of us has flowers.” And New England reserve melted before southern warmth. The woman blushed, took the spray of lilacs and pinned it on her coat. She and the children began e ¢! changing friendly, smiling glanccs. Presently the woman took a quarter from her purse and pressed it into the little, grimy hand that was cling- ing to the white ¢;amel support next which she sat. Now the child pro- tested. But ¢ woman persisted. “Please tale it, dear, It's as warm as summer time today, and I'd like you two to have a soda.” There was somcthing very gracious { and sweet about the child’s final ac- ceptance of the g Then the ) turned to me, hearted and generous. Think of her giving me her last flower!” said my grstwhllc prim and exclusive neigh- or. The whole transaction was so quict that no onc observed all its details save the actors in the little tale and mysel?. But everyone who had seen the child give her gift so generously and who watched her friend carefully divide her bouquet in two and share it, had a warm, happy smile for the old world in which such pleasant things were happening. If not, we miss opportunity for mak- ing sunshine in our hearts and in the lives about us. “The gift without the giver is bare,” wrote James Russell Lawell once upon a time. But the simplest @t offered generously and wholeheart- edly brings a whole train of joys and kindness with it. : England woman “She was so good- *
