Mystery of Children’s Friend
ships Can’t Be Solved.
USUALLY CCME BY ACCIDENT
They Are the Source of Grave Con
cern to Many Parents and Some
times Should Be Tactfully
Broken Up.
By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERG.
<4lllll AT Margaret sees in that girl I
VI can’t understand,” Mrs. Calkins
was saying, when the talk was of the
difficulty of getting suitable compan
ions for the children. And Mrs. Cal
kins was quite right. Nobody can un
derstand exactly. It’s just as great a
mystery as the one that keeps your
friend guessing why you married your
husband, or wife, as the case may be.
Johnny and his friend were chums
for many years because they had the
same birthday; and Grace and Ger
trude found each other through writ
ing the initial G in the same way. But
another little girl with flaxen hair and
pale eyes selected her friend because
the latter had such nice dark hair and
skin and eyes. You may rot be so sen
sitive to color; yet it was the wearing
of a red apron that gave Mabel Hen
derson a lifelong friend. Not that she
wore the red apron all her life —that
only started the friendship. The fact
is that Margaret herself could not
have told why she was so attached to
her friend.
It takes only a trifle to start an as
sociation —a casual meeting on the
street corner waiting for a favorable
opportunity to cross, being admitted
to school on the same day, or being
fascinated by a gap in another’s row
of teeth. But after the beginning is
made almost any two children can
learn to like each other fairly well, and
the longer they associate the better
they come to understand each other,
the more accustomed they become to
each other's ways, the harder will it be
for them to give each other up. Chil
dren's friendships are not deliberate,
calculated selections; they are haphaz
ard growths. They can therefore not
be reasoned about to any purpose by
the parents, and much less by the chil
dren themselves.
If they are accidental in their begin
nings and habitual in their continuance,
these childhood friendships are never
theless a source of grave concern to
many parents. Margaret’s mother could
see in the girl’s friend many things
that Margaret herself could not see.
and many of them were of a kind that
she would rather not have in her
daughter’s immediate neighborhood.
Mrs. Calkins remembered the story
that they used to tell the children years
ago, about the barrel of good apples
with the single rotten apple, and the
sad fate of all those,good apples. And
she feared that Margaret would
“catch” all the faults of her friend.
That is why she made heroic efforts to
discredit that young lady in Margaret’s
She Feared Margaret Would “Catch"
All the Faults of Her Friend.
estimation. That is why she said things
about her daughter’s friend that she
would not permit anyone to say about
her own friends —true or not true. And
that is why she failed to wean Mar
garet from her friend.
For the child of normal sentiments
will resent bitterly any aspersions on
those he likes. He will not have any
one tell him of his mother’s faults, nor
will he listen to adverse criticism of
his friends. He is not concerned with
the truthfulness of ycur criticism nor
with your good intention in telling him.
Every attack upon these he likes is a
challenge to his loyalty. And the more
you rail against his chum the closer
grows the attachment.
A four-yenr-cld boy, recently moved
into a new neighborhood, made the ac
quaintance cf a lad of his own age but
of a very different set of manners. The
mother of the first boy seriously
warned him not to associate with Bob,
because he would be sure to spoil his
speech and his manners. Bob used such
language! And from time to time he
would even spit! Hector listened re
flectively, very much impressed. At
last he caught the idea. “Well; moth
er,” he said, “that will be all right. I
won’t let him make me bad, and I'll
make him good instead.”
While we all know that one child can
“spoil” another, we must admit that
there was some reason in Hector’s
reply. Children do influence one an
other. and the influence for good is
just as real and just as effective as
the Influence for evil. If we fear that
on the whole the evil influences pre
vail, our remedy must not be sought
in the isolation of the child, for such
isolation is at least as bad as anything
that can be acquired from unselected
companions. The remedy lies in two

the lookout for trouble; but if the lan
guage used at home is above reproach
tlie careless speech on the outside may
extend the vocabulary without much
danger of permanent harm.
There are extreme cases in which it
seems desirable to separate a boy or
girl from an undesirable companion. In
such cases the surest way of strength
ening the affinity is usually to make
some show of opposing it. Every at
tempt to arouse antagonisms only stim
ulates the mutual interest. These facts
must not be taken to indicate that the
proper course lies in a series of eulo
gies in honor of the undesirable one.
The first step is to ignore the friend
ship as completely as possible. Then
an effort must be made to substitute
new interests for the old friendship
and to reduce the occasions for inter
course as much as circumstances will
permit. If the parents will find or
make opportunity to take the child out
of his usual surroundings in their own
company they will generally find that
the new interests will develop simul
taneously with the fading of the at
tachment for the person to he divorced.

Aztec Runners.
Communication (among the Aztecs)
was maintained with the remotest
parts of the country by means of
couriers. Posthouses were established
on the great roads, about two leagues
distant from each other. The cou
rier, bearing his dispatches in the form
of a hieroglyphical painting, ran with
them to the flrst station, where they
were taken by another messenger and
carried forward to the next, and so on
till they reached the capital. These
couriers, trained from childhood, trav
eled with incredible swiftness; not
four or five leagues an hour, as an old
chronicler would make us believe, but
with such speed that dispatches were
carried from one hundred to two hun
dred miles a day. Fresh fish was fre
