YOUNG MEN’S CLOTHES ARE OUR SPECIALTY
HART SCHAFFNER & MARX
FINE SUITS ARE HERE
If you will look with some care at our illustration you will get a
pretty good idea of the way we can dress any young man. You notice
that there’s a smart, snappy, very dressy style about this young man;
nothing “flashy” in the cut of his clothes—just a well-dressed young
man. Young looking in his clothes as well as in his face. That’s the way
Hart Schaffner & Marx
do things; and that’s the reason we make such a feature of their, goods.
We believe the young men of our town appreciate such clothes. The
styles are very smart and up-to-date, the creations of the best designers
in the world. But there’s more than style in these clothes; there’s all-
wool securety in the fabrics; there’s the finest tailoring known; there’s
correct and permanent fit. You will find here a lot of new and beauti
ful fabrics, many new imported weaves as well as the usual large varie
ty of American goods.
The illustration is only a suggestion of what you may expect here;
you have to see the clothes to know how good they are.

Cattle are kept for two purposes; for beef pro

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.
Joy is often tinned with Badness,
There is a thorn with every rose;
Though the face be wreuthed with gladness,
The aching heart nobody knows.
Every sunbeam has its shadow.
Every heart its joy and woe;
Though the summer bring its roses.
Winter comes with ice and snow.
Thus wo tread life’s rugged pathway.
Sometimes smiling, often weeping;
But our tears will change to rainbows
If we’re in our Father’s keeping.
Let us then press bravely onward.
Helping others on the way,
Till our night of cloud and darkness
Fades into the perfect day.
— [Mrs. L. M. Lipscomb.
This Woman Will Bear Watching.
Dorothy Dix, in Atlanta Georgian.
In a recent article on friendship Sarah
Bernhardt advises women to choose
men instead of women for their friends.
She Bays:
“For a woman the surest friendship
is to be found in a man. The true and
only great friendship upon which a wo
man can really depend is the friendship
of a man." .
To my thinking, a greater fallacy was
never uttered than this, and no more
dangerous counsel ever given to woman.
A man for love, but a woman for
friendship, is the only safe rule for wo
man. Between a man and a woman
there may be liking, there may be con
geniality, pleasure in each other’s so
ciety, mutual helpfulness, friendship in
its lighter moods—but between them
there can never exist, without great
danger, the deep-souled intimacy that
is real friendship, that there may be be-
tween two women.
No friendship between a man and a
woman can be as complete as that be
tween two men, or two women, because
between the sexes there must be the
same spiritual concealments. No man
ever tells the innermost secrets of his
nature to a woman as he does to a man.
No woman ever bares her heart to a
man as she does to another woman, be
cause at the bottom of the conscious
ness of each sex there is the feeling
that there are some things which the
other never can understand, just be
cause of the difference of sex.
This is why, even in the closest mar
riage relation, both husband and wife
must turn away from each other at
times to other men and women. This
principle is even moretrue in friendship.
To have some one to fully comprehend
and sympathize with every mood, each
sex must go to its own.
The theory of a perfect friendship
between man and woman—one in which
they would have a community of inter
est in every subject; in which they
would be able to hold the endless con
versation, with no note of weariness,
that is the essence of the relationship,
and in which the fires of affection would
glow with a steady heat at which they
could warm their hearts without dan
ger of ever getting scorched—is a fasci
nating dream, but it has never come
true. There is, in reality, no such
thing as platonic love.
There Beeass to be no dividing line of
friendship between the sexes. Bluntly,
if a man and woman are not necessary
to each other’s happiness, if they are
satisfied and contented when they are
apart, they are not much friends. If
they are miserable apart and cannot
live without each other's companion
ship, then they are more than friends.
It is love—or else such a diluted brand
of friendship that it is nothing.
Another barrier between the friend
ship of a man and woman is the outside
world, which is apt to be scandalous,
and their own human connections. No
man with a wife, no woman with a
husband, can enjoy a perfect friendship
with another of the opposite sex with
out arousing the jeulousy and animosity
of his or her marital partner. .
For this reason it is dangerous to ad
vise any woman to look for a man as a
friend; for the young girl who en
gages in a platonic friendship with a
man will find that it lands her either
in marriage or spinsterhood, while the
married woman who makes any man
other than her husband her confidante
and FiduB Achates is mighty apt to
ponder over her folly at Reno.
The idea that a man makes a wo
man’s best friend is an old one, and one
that is often expressed, but it has no
truth at bottom. Experience showH
that a woman’s friendship is unselfish,
whereas a man’s rarely is. Many a wo
man who accepts a man’s friendship is
called upon, in the end, to pay for it
with her all.
A man’s friendship for a woman is
also generally of the fair weather type.
He likes her when she is pretty and
young and gay—when she can laugh
with him and add to his pleasure and
amusement.
But let the evil day of sorrow and
misfortune come to her; let her be a
creature to be sympathized with in
stead of made merry with, and her
men friends melt away like snow in the
sun. They are terribly sorry for poor
Mary, and if they have money they are
willing to send her a few dollars. They
sneak around to her home and leave a
card and a few flowers when they have
reason to believe she is out, but they
don’t want to see her with her tear-
reddened eyes. They don’t want to
liBten to her tale of woe, and they will
walk blocks to avoid meeting her.
It is a woman friend who comes to a
woman in her misfortune, who lets her
weep out her sorrows on her sympa
thetic breast, and who listens to her
with a divine patience and understand
ing while she recites over and over the
litany of her sorrows, just because they
know that it eases the hurt in her heart
to have them pour over it the balm of
their pity.
And it is the woman friend who
BtretcheB out the hand of assistance to
her first when she needB help. She it
is who worries her husband or some
other man into giving the woman a
job, so that she can support herself—
who remembers to invite her to dinner
because she is half starved in a board
ing house, and who doesn’t mind if her
friend’s clothes are shabby. It’s the
women who keep up the old women
friends, not the men.
Men make gaod husbands, good em
ployers, good business associates, good
companions to play with, but they are
not good friends to women. When you
want a friend whose soul will cleave
unto your own, pick out one of your
own sex. And beware of the man
whose only friends are women. He is
weak and effeminate. And be doubly
on your guard against the woman who
says that she doesn't like her own sex,
and that her only friends are men.
She’ll bear watching—when your hus
band is around.
