SATURDAY, APRIL Ilr ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. Copyright. 19ir, Star Company. Ileal friendship results In e n-nnc of freedom in association, hut It does not permit f.t licence. No friend ean be so Inilmato that the need of delicacy does not exist. One ean never be bo sure of h friend that un necessary and un-i-ttlled-for freedom of rpeech la permissible. My true friend never comes to me with the belittling and chuhcIoss posslp which he hears about me. He never says, "1 know you v ill not care," and then re lates sonio villous lie Invented by the mind of envy. He never tells me any thing dlsiiftreeaMo unless it Is to warn ie on .ut me on my guard against a sprrct enemy or ugalnst my own Im prudence. He tells me the kind and l)eaant wcrds he hears spoken of me and takes as much pleasure in hearing them ns ! do. And he defends me In my absence even against an army of ac cusers. lie wiil sny things to my fare which he would not H-y or permit to be said behind my bark. Friendship of the highest order should banish all wenrisome restrictions and forinulitif s. If 1 happen to drop In on my ntaie.t friend as she Is preparing to go out with another, she should feel free to go with no fear that I will be hurt or feel sliRiited. The moment this fear of wounding our friends In such matters creeps ii it is no longer or not yet an !ilso fi icndMiip. We ran bear with the Tyrannies and anxieties, feun and turmoils of love, but the caliper pleasures of friendship are jeopardized if wi permit these other emotions to mar them. love is like the mid-ocean, grand,, beautiful and terrible, full of delight and danger, and friendship should be like I he calm bay w here we rest, nnd do no! fear; It ennnot give us the exhilara tion of love and It must not give us the anxieties. AVe feel rented nnd strengthened after i an Interview with a real friend, never irritated or worried. ) The worthy and worth-while friend j never chides us for not If v lng him enough I nor begs to be loved more; he makes himself so deserving and so unobtrusive that we needs must give him gratitude and affection. The wlso friend never weighs us with his friendship never burdens ua with feelings that he cannot live wtihout our constant devotion. It Is the privilege of love alone to do that. Iove may learn and cling forever. And forever grow more dear. Rut friendship must sometime stand upon Its own feet or we tire of It. If my friendship Is absolute I will stand by my friend In trouble, danger nod dis gracenot upholding him In the latter, but holding him from sinking lower. It he resents my restraint, however, and Is determined to sink, I do not prove my friendship by sinking with him. t only prove my own moral weakness. Better let go my hold and save my strength to assist another w-ho wants my help. If he will not heed my advice, or coun sel, but Insists upon associations and ne tlons which Injure him. I only blacken my own record and weaken my power to aid others If I stand by him. Friendship to one's higher self should not be sacri ficed in a mistaken sense of devotion to another. Neither should I ask my friend to go down into the valley of despair with meho will be a truer friend If he stands above the sunlight a ad strives to lift me up beside him. I do not want my friend to constantly urge me to accept favors, but when, in my hour pf need, I ask a favor, I want him to grant It with the air of one who is the recipient rather than the giver. Neither do I want him to refuse favors on the ground of being unable to repay me, since real friendship finds payments In the bestowing of favors. And always I want him loyal, trusting and sincere in word and act; as liberal, as loving, as free from Jealousy as he is full of Jus tice, ready to praise and not afraid to reprove.

"1 will pay you any price you wlnh. Here is pome money In ad vance." And, Jerking a wad of loose bills from his pocket, he thrust them In her hand. "Now stand here." He was so ouick, so energetic, so fired with Impa tient fervor, trial June nau no nmo m ( think, much less protest. He half led, half pulled, her on the small dais which he hastily shoved into position. He caught up a sharp knife, it would not do. He ran to a workbasket in the alcove and brought hack a long pair of shears and with one clip slit the filmy negligee ttt the shoulder. At that moment the portieres opposite tlie big canvas opened far enough to re veal the dark, handsome face of the black Vandyked Gilbert Blye. Toward the Durban house there dashed two automobiles, the electric of Honorla Ulye and the Moore family car, with the parents anil husband of June and her bosom l'llend. Iris Blethering and Bobble. Murle and Officer Dowd were tiuddenly Interrupted in their leisurely stroll by a loud yelp, and a white and brown streak threw Itself against Marie. Bouncer! He barked; he circled; he ran up the street a little way. ran back and darted off again. "Miss Junle!" cried Marie, and, clutch ing Officer Iowd by the sleeve, she ran up the street after the dog. Vivian Durban, her chin tilted, her face serene, her stop deliberate and leisurely, came Into the studio. Whatever she had In en about to Bay frose on her lips us fcl-e saw the tsbleaux before the canvas. The exquisitely molded runaway bride, diaped like the Spirit of the Marsh, stood upon the dais. "Oh!" the word was a shriek. Vivian Durban rushed down the length of the studio, towering with rage. "Ho that's it!" she cried. "That's why you brought this crcuturc here!" Vivi!" protested the artist. "Out of my house!" the woman screamed at June, her fingers working convulsively. "Out of my house this min ute!" Anil she started toward the fright ened June. "Here!" Bennett Durham caught his v. ife's arm and held her hack. She stopped, and slowly her chin went up. flhe turned on him coldly. "Klther that creature leaves goes In stantly er you go! This Is my house!" With a low try June had darted across tn.i studio, clasping tier gausjr draperies sent rer a best the could. In the hall the smirking butler, "whose furtive eye leered at her. Faint dused, scarce knowing what she did. June, draped as. the Spirit of the Marsh, slipped out of the house and Into the street. The artist and his wife went to the porch and watched the girl flutter away. The woman turned to Durban. "You're In love with her," she snapped. Around the corner, two blocks away, tore the Moore car, with Ned Warner peering intently ahead- Prom the op posite direction came Honorla BIye's electric. In front of the Durban door stood a luxurious limousine with the black shades drawn. Gilbert Bley's! As June dashed down the steps the door of the car opened, and the white mus tached Orln Cunningham sprang out and caught June by the wrisL Another fig ure sped from the Durban door, close upon the beautiful Spirit of the Marsh.

War and Women Advice to Lovelorn By SSATBZOB TAZMTAX i Xom Moat Deride. Dear Miss Fairfax: I know two young !a!ies and believe I could have either for the asking. One is Kngltsh with little education, while the other Is well edu cated. While I heartily love the Briton, I find the American a more interesting com panion, as her education has enabled us to hold nieny a pleasant Interchange of ideas. When I'm with the other 1 have to do all the talking, except when wi discuss personal matters. THOMAS. How can you think of entrusting to a stranger tiie choice of a wife for you? What do you mean by love? f you mean that the less well-educated girl appeals to your senses and starves your mind, I can hardly advise you to marry her. Nor do I advocate a marriage on a purely intellectual basis. I have an Idea that your admiration for yourself la too great to admit of your having an honest and abiding love for either girl. FAlKFAJt. Have you nhe tired business man type of mind whloh Insist on gayety for relaxation and la ready to be entertained? Does your dally reading consist of the headlines in the newspapers?' Do you carefully omit, In your perusal all edi torials, and ars you particular not to read the serious. Instructive articles which the magazines offer you? Do you Ignore all the world of literature In which poetry, the drama, essays, and charm ingly written biographies, histories, works of science and philosophy lie? Heading worth-while things Is honestly nothing more or less than a question of getting the habit. I know a young woman who proudly boasted that she had read none of the classlo novels. 'And then someone gave her Victor Hugo's "Notrs Dame." Feel ing that she owed it to the donor to read tho book she set about what she sup posed was going to be a very dry task. Here Is the confession she made to me: "I found as thrilling a romance, as fascinating a love story as any of my favorite 'best sellers,' had ever given me. Then, too, I discovered a real philosophy back of the story. I found myself Inter ested in the discussion of architecture and In the description of old Paris. My goodness, when I got through with that book I was fairly Inspired to go off and study architecture, .the. history of the church, the dresses and customs of the fifteenth century, and the chronicles of Margaret of Flanders. And I giro you my word that I found reading the ordi nary love story about as interesting as drinking hot water In place of a fragrant cup of coffee." There is the testimony of an average girl anent the classical novel versus the parsing romance. Beading merely for amusement be comes rather aptialllng amusement to any mind that Is at all ambitious. Reading for Instruction Is by no means a dull and dry affair. You simply have to know what to read. Cast about In your mind for something In which you are In tcrested for every thinking human being has surely dne major inter and several minor ones. Suppose you like music. Go to the nearest public library station and atk for suggestions as to reading along this line. Hven If your interest is merely in the J melody of popular songs, you will find yourself delighted by the wonderful fortitude of Beethoven's life, for In stance; by the romance of Mozart s, or by the magnificent rapacity for work of Abbe Franz I Just. In ail of life there Is Interest. In all sorts of writing there Is the element of being "u human document" since wrt lug must chronicle conditions of life and By ELBERT HUBBARD Women can- No. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young man of 20 and dearly In love with a girl of the same age.

Try It. lij May women go to war? and have and do. Clara, Barton did. She spent more years on the battlefield than did Von Moltke, Grant, . , Sherman or Hherl- dan. Clara Barton ad ministered to our soldiers through out the civil war. Shs w n t to Europe to forget America's war and found herself amid tbs horrors of the Franco - Prussian battlefields. Ths clincher to the whole round of arguments In opposition to woman suffrage la the platitude: Women cannot go to war, therefore. they must not bs allowed to vote." And again, "Ths final teat of citizen ship Is the ability to defend one's country." I. heard a man say, "How It would look to see a reglmt nt of women making charge.." And his 'audience laughed. But a regiment of' women' have made charge, and neither the women who mad the charge nor the "enemy" laughed. When women fight they do so to save their children, their homes, their town, their country. Theirs Is a fight for freedom. Women go to war, as did Clara Barton, organizers of relief service, as nurses, aa assistants to surgeons, as protectors, as mother. Do women think of the dangers of the battlefield? No more than do men. It U the mother spirit which Is aroused and active In women In war time. Ths mother Is the sacrlflcer. She does not think of her own ssfety when her child is lu danger. Women who come to the relief of the wounded on the battlefield. In hospital tents, ars not there for ths abstract something which ws coll "patriotism." They are there to relieve suffering, to minister to the sick, to take cars of and save ths lives of ths people who make a nation, who sra the state. This does not mean that woman 'loves the state less, but she loves humanity mora. The quarrel? That sinks Into oblivion whsn men are stretching out arms for help and she can save them. Confederate pain, federal pain, Prus sian pain, F.ngllsh pain I'ain la pain to woman. Jew or OenlU bond or free, are all one to her. fain creates a democracy In the hearts of mothers. And here Is the only compensation that I can see in war, that 1. nuinbles our pride. It brings us bock to primitive conditions, to natural living and pure hearts if we are wholesome. But the women on the battlefield, the women In the hospital tent, or hospital buildings, the women who are nursing wounded and sick who have been re turned to their native country for car. ars not those who suffsr must iu Urn of war. Suffering Is not alone a matter of phys ical hardships. The keenest suffering a woman can endure Is that which Iter taiaatnalloii makes her suffer. Her home life Is broken when hus band, brothers, the men of her house hold, are taken from her. All the happy routine which inadu home is broken. Her leisure is not occupied by thoughts of hone and anticipation of pleasure. She Is not looking for the homecoming. Her anticipation Is of fearful news that may, will come. She reads the lists of wounded and killed. She watches to see what regi ments are engaged In battle. The head lines, "Great Loss of Life In Battle Now Going On!" makes the world turn inky black for her, and ths blood recedes from her heart. There is not an experience on the battlefield that she has not lived . In Imagination. Ths pale crippled soldier's life Is broken no more than hers. She has endured all the physical hard ships that ths majority of wives and mothers are called upon to endure when the family provider has gone to war. And added to these hardships, she has to endure every tragedy that the Imagina tion can conjure forth. Do women go to war? Wherever there la war women are par ticipants In It. For when men are sorely wounded they lie where they fell, and there Is a limit to physical suffering. When they fall on the battlefield they sleep to wake no more. But there la no limit to the pictures which the Imagination conjures forth,, day and night, forever, and as long as tha woman lives. Her war ka never over. The battles are never finished for her. For her there Is never victory, uo mat ter who wins. Her heart Is broken, her life is maimed. For the woman must live on and on, and on. There may be a reason why women should not vote, but the silly statement, "Women should not be allowed to vote! because they cannot fight," Isn't It?
