"For four years we've been friends," writes Betty. "I've always known I could count on him for anything I wanted to do. Jack has been devotion itself. And that's what makes it so terrible that he should have failed me completely and without any warning. "I know he feels cheap, but that doesn't alter matters. He's too proud to acknowledge his fault, and sure ly you can't expect me to go to a man who has slighted me horribly and tell him it's all right and I'll stand for his insult. This nukes me very sceptical. Are there any men a girl is to trust? If a friend of such long standing and who seemed so tried and true can treat me so shabbily, how dare I ever again have confidence in anyone? Letters of this type come to me daily. They have a note of bitter ness which the facts do not justify. To weight against a moment of disloyalty there are years of devo tion. To offset one hurt there are countless kindnesses to remember. And yet the paramount issue seems always to be the one cruelty rather than the many, courtesies. Suppose it were the other way around. Imagine that some one who had shown four years of bru tality and enmity and ugliness were to do one fine thing. Would that wipe out every trace of suspicion and rancor? Or would Betty say: ' "That was an astonishingly fine thing Jack did. '. It seems as if he is beginning to regret his rudeness and unfairness and to show a great deal of character. I'll watch him, and it he goes on being so decent and hon est and square I'll alter my judgment of him and conclude that either he's outgrown his former ways or that I ve called up sometning Dener in his nature." But one manifestation of decency wouldn't persuade Betty to trust the former offender with anything of great importance. ihe case is even stronger wnen friendship stumbles . for once and falls. The moment may be caused by any one of a dozen trivial or great causes. But it's only a mo ment. No matter how a friend offends, if back of that moment ci failure there stretch daysand months and vears of faith and devotion, are they suddenly become nothing? Isnt their testimony ail in tavor or me person who may have been ill, or mentally below par, or startled, or temporarily lurea trom nis norm attitudes when he failed? ' If a friend who has always seemed tried and true fails once his failure is not so great as that of the per son who refuses to give him another chance. ' When Betty says that Jack is too proud to acknowledge his fault she means that he is so ashamed of him self that he dare not ask for mercy. And when she practically dares mc to advise her to "go to a man who has slighted her horribly and tell him -she'll stand for his insult" she is only striking an absurd pose. The thing for any generous per son to do in a situation like this is to act in the name of a tried and proven friendship, not under duress of a mere situation which scarcely counts for anything at alL If there is an explanation, think how glad the offender will be to offer it If there is none, think how touched he will be by the loyalty which for once he failed. , Friendshipisn't a matter of sep arate incidents it's a strand woven of many happenings. And the past deserves a loyalty and faith big enough to cover something even greater than one failure to measure up to its fine standard, Belding-Johnsen V r m 7 illliiilpiillilii 'TV. .'v.. . s : y - 5 4a & to La TIia ntirriioi fta Vf4a PliriC- tine Johnsen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawritz Johnsen, and John L.

Following a trip to Chicago, New York and Montreal, the couple will reside at the Kingsborough apart ments in this city. Where China Came From. Did it ever occur to you that our table china derived its name from its home in the Orient? So accus tomed has the average American come to look for her dinner ware with a French or English or even a German trade mark that she hard ly realizes that China is the original home or the ware. Nevertheless the town of Ching- teh-chen is one of the four largest towns in China. Technically it is not a city because it has no wall. In realitv, it is a busy industrial city of 300,000 people, two'-thirds of whom are engaged in the manufac ture and sale of porcelain. It be came the pottery center of the coun try centuries ago because of the quantities of excellent clay in the district around Po Yang Lake. With the Chinese Ching-teh-chea and porcelain are synonymous. A Big Idea That Saved Mending A thrift-loving Englishwoman who makes her meager living going about among a circle of friends do ing mending and renovating, darning and patching, has some suggestions to make that would reduce the work of mending and make your clothes last longer. She says that it is always wise to buy two or more pairs of stockings alike. Nothing is so annoying as to find one stocking in fair condition and mend it nicely, only to find that the mate has so may runs up the leg as to make it past mending. If there vere only more stockings of ths same sort ,the one good stocking might be used until worn out. This mending woman has her own opinion of electric clothes wringers, wringers of any sort for that matter. Though she knows, as every one knows, that it is quite possible to use a wringer without tearing off a but ton if the clothes are only folded with the buttons on the inside and lifted slightly as they are fed to the wringer. On thin material or on clothe that are going to get hard wear, the buttons should always be backed with a piece of heavy material. It is worth while to run a strip of tape behind the buttons the whole length of the place where there are but tons. She finds that if she gives this attention to new underclothes there is little work later on in the way of sewing on buttons. Another thing that she finds worth while is to go over any new garment when it comes into the house. No matter how expensive it is, there may be little places where th threads have not been properly tied, places where the machine has run off the line, loose liooks and eyes, buttons or fasteners. If you attend to all these matters to begin with you will net have to do so later, and you will not be annoyed by the loss of a button cr fastener. For the first time in history a woman will compete in the Class A 18-2 balk line billiard champion ships, which this year will be held in Cleveland. The .fair entrant is Miss Katherine Haywood, a pretty young maidei) of Cynwyd, Pa. "Freezerless" Ice Cream. In the summer when the house wife's fancy turns to ice cream foi the dinner dessert, it is interesting to know that the cream may be mads at home without the work of freez-. ing, provided one has a firclcsi cooker. Place a bed of cracked salted ice is the large compartment of the cooker, In one of the smaller cans place the mixture which is to be frozen. Pul this latter in the packed vessel, pack ice all around it with a generous sup, ply of the salted ice on top. Then cover with the aluminum top Mi shut the fr ezer. Allow to stand fout hours, am it can stand as long ai seven hours. The cream will Tiavi frozen so hard that it will take a heavy spoon to remove it.

Lowest Prices Consistent With the Quality Thousands of Homes Made Happier in the Past Quarter Century Through Our Efforts Twenty-seven years to be exact the Mickel Music House has had the pleasure of serving its patrons in Omaha and the surrounding territory. From a small beginning our business has expanded until it has advanced to a point where we are in the fore front as distributors of the very highest grade of musical instruments manufactured. Our dealings with the public early in our history convinced us that the people of Omaha and its environs wanted real musical instruments. Acting on that belief, we secured the distribution of the Victrola, an instrument which contains greater possi bilities of musical satisfaction than any other reproducing machine, and the Knabe and Packard Pianos, which are at their respective prices the quintessence of piano construction. That our desire to give our patrons the very best has met with their approval is evi denced by the continuous increase in the volume of our business.
