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

THURSDAY EVENING,
who do it have such bored faces. 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.

ning Trip to Shore or
Lake
By MAY MANTON
91!9 (With Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance) Bathing Suit, for
Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18
years.
Girls who are making plans for a
| trip to the shore or to the lake will be
sure to like this design. The bathing
suits this year are very attractive and
this one makes a good example. On the
1 figure, it is made of white nathing 6uit
satin and is trimmed with blue, but it
could be copied in taffeta or it could be
copied in mohair trimmed with silk, and
in the back view there is a suggestion for
a simpler effect. There, blue mohair is
| trimmed with white. Blouse and akirt
are joined one to the other and the 6kirt
can be made plain or with an applied yoke.
On the figure, there is a ruffle arranged at
the lower edge of the yoke and the hem
extends to the line of the trimming.
Tights are to be worn beneath. "
For the 16 year sire will be needed,
yards of material 27 inches wide, 3 yards
36 or 2H yards 44, with 1H yards 36, for
trimming shown in the large view, % of a
yard 36, for the trimming shown in the
small view.
The pattern No. 9110 is cut in sizes for
16 and 18 years. It will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department of

NATION'S PRESTIGE
DOWN 50 PER CENT
Hughes Asserts This Is Result (
of Democratic
Policies
Special to the Telegraph
Reno, Nev., Aug. 24.—Charles E.
Hughes made his first appearance In a
strong Democratic State yesterday and
signalized It by making three ad
dresses to a total of 100.000 persons In
which he strongly criticised the Dem
ocratic administration for Its conduct
In many phases of government. He
told an audience In the Majestic The
ater here last night that this nation's
prestige has diminished 50 per cent. In
the eyes of the world because of thj
vacillating policy which the adminis
tration has pursued towards Mexico
and its tariff policy and its failure to
maintain standards In appointment to
national posts Jeopardized the coun
try.
Despite the character of the audi
ence, which was largely Democratic,
Mr. Hughes' vigorous assertion that
he criticised the Democrats only be
cause It was Just criticism, aroused
vigorous applause.
"I criticise to show the other side,"
said Mr. Hughes, "and to Indicate that
I think constructive work Is essential
to the progress of the country."
Spraka In Utah To-day

strongly Republican State of Utah, one

a majority In 1912. He speaks at Og
