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.
