JlJfappipCoTiui I _ l.'S S-J Efe «Wk ME r Ktafej friendship the Foundation Stone A home built on a strong foundation wall of friendship has never been broken, since this wall is always laid far below the level of a family freeze Now and then a coolness may lie felt in the home If it is only temporary, the wall of friendship will stand; but, if the temperature goes too low. the wall will crack. There will be an upheaval, and disturbed family re lations. Mere acquaintance may be mistaken for friendship, and the basic support wanting. Good appearance may stride the fancy, and in time prove to be only the shadow of reality, the home then being • phemeral. Money mav be considered a necessity for a happy home, but one has only to look at records to see that It has failed in this respect. Friendship is a natural quality as demonstrated In the playing together of children, who gravitate toward one another as they do not toward adults. Character in adults is requisite to give meaning to this native quality. It is a misnomer to say that criminals are friends of another, botraylng has sapped this vital quality, leaving the betrayer an enemy of all men 30,000 Visitors Eat 18 Tons Os Melons Pekin. 111.
