THE BEE; OMAHA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1916. Health Hints -:- Fashions -:- Woman's Work -:- Household Tomes . L How toMake Friends By IRENE GARDNER. 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 ex 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 it 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 acquaintance; 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 friendship. HOTKU) AND RESORTS, On "The Limited" Copyright, 114, International Newi Srrtc. & & By Nell Brinkley It '?

T WAS line who looked out of "The Limited" streaking through tiny JL towns whose upturned faces went by like a Peter Newell ribbon roaring over the shining country streams that went on shining and talking just as though the shadow of the great, black train, so speedy and so wonderful, did not lay upon them; racing by quiet woods, where I could see for a marvel minute a tiny picture of cool, green gloom and splattering flowers, tinging out into the open under the clear hive bell of the sky, tmoke streaking from the head of the great serpent. I was one, and I thought a lot; I did not eat quite all the time. One does that thing on boats and trains. Here is one thing I aw and thought about in picture language. Out we hummed, from the narrow corridor that lay in the woods. Do You Know That During the twelve months lust fin ished, the British and Foreign Bible society distributed 11,000,000 Bibles and parts, printed in 497 different tongues? Every grave at the front is marked by a simple cross, with name, regi ment and date of burial recorded? Accurate surveys are kept of every burial ground.

Cost YOU Seme Pries The Heavens in August I could see the engine ahead, a great black creature looking straight ahead, its tiny head on its great round body, going its thunderous way, the very rails under us chanting, "T' N'York T N'York!" and never a word else. I, a little rider on this marvel blacksnake, watched the fields flow by. At last a great rolling meadow raced into sight. It was green, summery and wide, drifted over for miles with the snow of daisies that bowed in the wind. Behind it great oaks, far off, marked where a stream ran coolly. The blue sky was a-tumble with white clouds. Birds came winging from the far distance of woods. And there, far out, in the great world of waist-high daisies, a lone ly speck in the fields? sat, half-buried, a little farmer boy, in the dull blue of overalls and the sweeping brim of sunhat. He was watching the train go by, aloof, remote.. There was something of grandeur. '1 '--U v--' "W-Y--i "Some Day I'll Own That Railroad." something kingly, in his lone little figure; and I had an uncanny little feel of exultation as though, "by the Grace or God," I had been for tunate enough to look on the babyhood of a president. Perhaps the little lips I could not see from so far, said soberly, forgetting the daisies that swept his little leg: "SOME DAY I'LL OWN THAT RAILROAD." Later we rushed intimately above a little green door yard, where a baby girl, under the cool of a tree in her "peram" talked to her self. It was far away from the little blue figure with the motionless intentness, buried in his daisies 500 miles away but I wondered if she didn't say in her baby language, while she ate her hemstitched bonnet string, "SOME DAY I'LL OWN HIM I" NELL BRINKLEY. By WILLIAM F. RIGGE. There are only two events of mi 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 i:it a. m. "The second is an eclipse, technically an occupation, ot the planet Saturn hv the mnnn on thi. mnrnina- nf th 25th. Occultations of bright stars and especially ot 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 half 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 3:16 a. m. The hour may be inconveniently early, but there is no changing that, lhe moon will be a fine crescent low down in the east northeast. N. S. E. W. are its cardinal points in the annexed figure.

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 I out me poara over tne table top. I he 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 tew 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 jirst 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 hnnse. wife is indoors or how many plans sne tries ot 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 Mipper chamber, from which they can not get out. buch a trap is to be placed near an outjoor 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 floor scrubbing a "lady's job." This is a floor scrubber that propels itself, noiselessly and with uncany efficiency. It departs radi cally trom the suction or vacuum type of cleaner. A s.nall electric mo tor is attached to the (ower 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 exDeri- ence, but just seeing it may give you a spienaia glow ot cneer. .icai iu uic in inc car sai a weii- dress young woman of the ditrnified and somewhat repressed type general ly attributed to New England. None of us expect warm and friendly ad vances from "typical New England ers" even though we know what splendid friends thev 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 was warm and friendly. "Please take it, lady," said she. "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 c-rL changing friendly, . smiling glances. Presently the woman took a ouarfpp from her purse and pressed it into the little, grimy hand that was cling, ing to the white enamel sunoort next which she sat. Now the child pro tested. But the woman persisted. "Please take it, dear.

But everyone who had seen the child give her gift so generously and vho" watched her friend carefully divide her bouquet in two and sharo it, had a warm, happy smile for the old world jn which such pleasant things were happening.
