Our Friends Are Part Of Up. j I CONFESS to being strongly affected by this.liquor that runs fabric of from heart to heart through the spirit veins that web the all souls. Whenhl meet one who does not like me it gives ne a kind .'.tv of depression, I gtn sick at my stomach a bit, I want to run. Some people' enjoy enemies. They enjoy the spiritut 1 attack. Dislike rather^ef^s them up. But there are those, including me, who have such weak heads the least intoxicating draught of sympathy or antipathy sets them humming. ' *' *" This class fjthludcs also dogs. I have just been over to see a lad)' who has^aedog she calls Ford. Her husband is in the automobile business. I will not offend by saying what Ford looks like. There is a point of ugliness, especially in dogs, which when passed begins the realm of bgsmty. He is a sort of glorified microbe. Bnt his main trait is affect&A j qj,veritable sensitive plant. When his mistress speaks Ford !S crossly to hjfn'hc prinks like a withered leaf. His light of life has / gone out. He is killed. He is the picture of utter, abject misery. And whpq she speaks kindly he ties himself into bowknots, leaps, runs, barks, laughs and turns somersaults. So w hen I say I am human as a dog, I feel to be boasting. Sympathy, ethyologically, means ^'suffering with/' and wc usually use Hm term for the communion of griefs only. That is good fo course. It helps a lot for any one to feel sorry because you have humped your nose. Still, it is a deal easier to share grief than joy. People who understand our moods of happiness are rarer than they that comprehended our woe. If you would be my real and longed for friend, I pray you cultivate a capacity for sharing my lighter moments. Then I know that you are genuinely sympathetic, that between us (the cords of' a unity of heart and soul that mean something. You can't escape. Sometimes you think, when you have been particularly oppressed by the woes of others, that you would be haippicr if you could crawl into your shell, shut out the rest of humanity and get along with your own personal joys and glooms. But it will not work. To retreat from your kind is as if the land ran away from ihc rain or the flowers hid from sunshine. It means dryness, hardness and death. There are (Certain goods you get from life as you go along. For instance, there is food and drink for your belly and clothes for your hack, shelter for your head tuul money for your pocket; there is thc impact of familiar things at home, the cat and the dog and the old blue china tea set ; tin re is a cigar for a man and a new dress for a woman: there is a deal of enjoyment one way and another, but not the least considerable of all satisfactions in this vale of tears is that warmth w hich t omes to the cockles of your heart when you meet the man who takes'lo you and believes in you and the woman who un derstands ant! Tikes you. This w'or?<jpwould he a poor siave-pen if all appreciation were banished arnf ijhvro were no more greetings of friendship and fat hours of ft Ho^mdp. For good or ill my friends are a part of me, and so are my comics. / paper, setf addressed hn stamped enve^pe. Dear Mis?
