G. agree with you that life without friends is cinders, ashes and dust, and that those who cut themselve. off from all timate affections and compantonship with their fellow tures make as great a mistake as they would if in a rich and verdant land they chose to dwell alone on some barren and rocky peak. You are right in thinking that friendship is not a graft. It is a gift.

It 15 something sweet and fragrant and beautiful that enriches existence. It is bestowed upon us not for our worth, not for any price that we can pay for it, but because some heart 1s drawn to us, some soul sees within us something that finds a responsive echo in his own soul. Nothing has ever bettered the definition of friendship given by the little boy who said that A friend was A person who knew all about you and liked you still. When friendship becomes matter of barter and trade, when a man uses another man's friendship to borrow money from him or to ask favors of him. or woman cultivates another woman Just because she can open social gates to her, it friendship.

It is a racket. Real friendship is the something intangible that binds people together. and It is composed of everything except the profit tive. It is made up of congeniality, liking to do the same things, of entertaining and amusing each other. of loyalty, of an affection that makes them share each other's joys and sorrows and of an intimacy that makes them able to confide in each other, sure that what they tell will go no further.

We can't do that alone. There is no favor to a feast if caten by ourselves, no fun in a party if we are the only one there. Ninetenths of the pleasure that we ever have comes through our friends. So to deliberately cut friendship out of our lives 1s to declare voluntary bankruptcy in happiness. No young married couple could make a greater mistake than to shut friendship out of their lives.

They should call it in and give it a warm seat at their firesides, because friends will do more than any other one thing to keep them from getting tired of each other bring and cheer minto their homes.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX-1 am a girl of 18. in love with a married man of 26.

My friend has been married for five years and has no children. He no longer loves his wife and hasn't for some time, but just can't bring himself to tell her. The wife has recently found out about us. She came to me and warned me of what she might do. I come from A family where there has never been a breath of gossip and don't want to do anything that will cAuse scandal, nor do I intend to be a home- wrecker.

I have tried to break off the affair, but he simply won't hear of it. Says I am the first woman he ever really loved and he can't and won't give me up. But he knows his wife will never consent to a divorce. We love each other desperately and can't possibly gO on without one another. Haven't we just as much right to our love AS Any one else? The wife 18 el very beautiful and could get man who was Just As rich AS her husband and on top of it would love her AS a husband should.

Don't tell us to give each other up, but isn't there some decent way out? A VERY BEWILDERED COUPLE. Answer: The popular way out in such cases seems to he via the "mental cruelty" route. We see many a man and woman taking that devious road to the divorce court when they want to get rid of husbands and wires for whom they lost their taste but who have committed no crime against them except to lose their glamour. But before you are party to this man's casting aside the wife who still clings to him. and breaking up her home.

and before you slime over your family with the scandal that It is bound to bring about, let me beg of you to take time to think over your unfortunate love Affair and determine if you are ready to pay the price that it will cost you. You are 50 young. Just 18. Still a child in knowledge of the world and in knowledge of your own heart. However you may hefool yourself.

vou are no different from other girls of that age, and little as you will believe me, you are incapable of the love of a mature woman.
