12 WOMEN'S INTERESTS ROADS TO SOMEWHERE A New and Interesting Series By GRACE DARLING By GRACE DARLING One of the pleasantest roads In life is that which is called the Friendship Route, and it leads to the Valley 01 Peace and Calm Content. A great many girls complain to me that they are lonely; that other girls do not like them; that they are left out of all the good times that girls have when they foregather in dove parties, and they ask me the why of this. It is becausse these girls have never travelled the Friendship Route, and I am going to try to tell them how to do it. To begin with, if you mean to travel the Friendship Route, you must pre pare yourself for the journey. \ou must put kindliness in your heart, helpfulness in your hand and wear a smile on your lips and the look of love in your eyes. The girl who goes forth loaded down with selfishness, and envy, and spite, and greed, finds every door on the train along the Friendship Route barred to her. She never gets aboard, no matter how pretty and clever she is, nor how many fino clothes she has nor how important her father may be. Some times the other girl 3 play around with her at the station, and eat her lunch, and pretend they are going to take her along with them, but when the signal bell rings for the real Friend ship train to start they slam the gate in her face and she is left. She is not dressed for the journey, for no one can go on that excursion who doesn't wear the full regalia of qualities that make people lovable. Why Others Miss Other girls never reach the end of the Friendship Route because they 1 insist on traveling in a private car. They pride themselves upon being ex- i elusive. They shudder at the thought of rubbing shoulders with the com mon herd. They shut themselves up In their shells like clams, and refuse to be even civil to another girl until ( they know that she is as well born, i as well educated, and has as much money as they have. You see these poor little private car : girls at school, where they flock by j their dul and dismal selves. You meet 1 them at summer resorts, where they sit solitary and alone turning up their 1 pinched little noses at the "common girls" who are having loads of fun with other girls and boys they have gotten acquainted with at tennis, or in bathing, or out boating or In the hotel ballroom, or somewhere else on the every day passenger coach of the Friendship train, where you don't! have to know anything about any- I body except that they are human and agreeable like yourself. Of course It's fine and grand to ride on a special private car, but It's mighty lonesome, and the people Healthy Motherhood Means A Healthy Baby.

Just notice them. • Then when you travel the Friend ship Route you have to pay the regu lation fare. The Interheart Commis sion has made a rockbound ruling on 'that point, and has settled the denom ination of the coin with which you must pay your way. It is Unselfishness. Unless you are willing to sacrifice yourself for others, unless you can prefer another's hap ■ piness to your own, unless you are willing to help others, you can never : travel on the Friendship Route. No Passes Issued A great many girls think that they can get passes over this road. Never was a greater mistake. The girl who j thinks that .every one should always do her way, that she should have the pick of the beaus and most of the candy, and that she should monopolize the mirror in the dressing room, and have every one waiting on her hand and foot, may possibly get aboard the Friendship Train, but she will be put off at the first flag station. Then you have got to work your way on the Friendship Road. No dead beats are allowed. Love never comes to us as a free gift. It is always a debt. And we always have to earn whatever affection we get. So If you want the girls about you to love you, do something to make them lore you. If you are at a dance, and some miserable little wall flower is eating : her heart out in mortification be cause nobody has asked hefr to dance, introduce some man friend of yours to her and make him dance with her. j If a new girl comes to work where , you do, speak to her and help her • iearn the ropes In the office or store. If a girl has had a bit of good luck congratulate her upon it and tell her vou are glad. If another girl is in trouble sympathize with her. Don't think because you have no money to I giv®, vou have nothing to give. There are more people starving for a word of sympathy, and understanding, and appreciation than there are starving | for bread. | The best loved woman I know— -1 an elderly woman who has friends by ■ the hundreds—told me once that early In life she made it a rule never !to let anybody go from her presence without having given them a kindly word, a cheery thought or Just a friendly smile. I think that example Is worth following. Then remember that those who travel the Friendship Route are per mitted to carry along no excess bag ' gace in the way of whims and peculi arities and prejudices. People with hobbies that they ride all over the place; people witU paprika tempers ithat blister where they touch, and with tongues pickled in acid; people with grouches, and tales of woe that they make every one they meet help carry, are not accepted as passengers on the Friendship Excursion. And finally, beloved, remember this. The Friendship Route is safest when traveled with women. There is, of course, the fascinating Platonic Route ' which Is a mixed route and mixed | with trouble as a general thing. But ' that is a side line. And dangerous. Very, very dangerous.
