Illarigotcls-Through the season as

Asters—From each aster plant at

Galcnclulas-These plants average
about twelve blossoms through their

Cosmos—There may be as many 'as

large, loose -petaled flowers at the top.
Dahlias—If you do not prune out

The next afternoon, Mrs. Lester
lifted the knocker on the door of the
Hardy home. A; maid informed Mrs.
Lester that her mistress could not see
callers.
"I'm Mrs. Lester, one of Mrs.
Ilardy's neighbors."
"I'll tell Mrs. Hardy."
The maid, appearing again. bade
Mrs. Lester accompany her ' upstairs
and she was ushered directly into the
presence of Mrs. Hardy, a charming
young . woman whose big brown eyes
were dim with crying.
Mrs. Hardy started to rise.
"Don't get up!" Mrs. Lester said
softly. `I've only come to make a
little call." Then, remembering the
young amother's sorrow she slipped an
arm about her; saying softly, "My
dear child! I've been wanting to corn
to you. I couldn't stay away any
longer."
Mrs. Hardy smiled wanly in spite
of herself and replied, "It is kind of
you. I'm' not ill, Mrs. Lester. I -I
haven't been caring to get up.
"It's' the kind of weather to be out
of doors. Dear, I've brought you a
pot of marmalade, like some I made
yesterday. Myrtle, my daughter—
she's just about your age, dear—put
that sprig of bittersweet on top.."
Mrs. Hardy discovered the card
with the originalverse and read it
over twice. She began, to laugh and
then to cry and then to laugh hap-
pily, "Why—why, it's just for me!
How did you know?"
"Mr. Lester wrote that especially

saw your house all lighted up and it
was storming, I wished more than ever
that I knew you all. You looked like
such a homey family. Mrs. Lester,
sometimes, when I've seen you come
out of the house ,and hang your rug
out to air, as Mother used to do, I've
just longed to know you. I • almost
fancied that •you were calling to me
with that cheery rug.”
- So, after all, .friendship was to
come by way of the oriental rug and
the delectable jam -pot!

went to call upon Mrs. Pettibrook.

upon most important questions. I want
to . speak, too, of ' that- verse that I
found on top of that jar." •'
"Mr.: Lester wrote; that. verse ex_
pressly for'you. .I don't know what
he said. It was just a part of the
friendship jar"
1 A most important part, notwith-
standin ; the fact that ^ the •ani was
incomparable! Mrs. Lester, that jar
'or preserves or marmalade, just: as it
was, verse arid', all, put an idea - into
, my head. It's this: why should you
not make friendship jars for other
persons—dozens of them, < perhaps
hundreds of them? This particular
one that you gave me was more signi-
ficant than , you may realize. Then,
why not give others the opportunity
of buying friendship 'jars?"
"I had never thought of doing such
a thing," ,Mrs. Lester replied. "Yet,
if I felt that I was putting the spirit
of friendship into every jar of jam
or marmalade that I was making, I
think` I'd love to. do it," she said, slow-
' ly. "And •if 1 did undertake to put up
!these jars, I just couldn't help, putting
friendliness into them for everybody!
As for the verses, I `know that Mr.
Lester would like nothing better."
The plan developed faster than
Jack's beanstalk.
Mrs. Pettibrook said that she would
start the business through:;the ' do-
mestic science department of the Wo-
' man's Club.' It was decided that Mrs.
Lester should try to furnish at Ieadt
a hundred friendship pots in time for
the Christmas holidays.
Busy. weeks followed. The small
tower -room became the Friendship
Room.: Here, as they were filled, the
'little brown stone jars were arranged
in rows, according to,kind, in - the old-
1-fashioned
ld
1-fasliio'ned walnut- cupboard; were
numbered,; too, as a key to the kind
of verse -and, were to cost a dollar'a
pot. _
The evening before The Friendship
Room was to be opened to those who
might care to come, Mr. Chesney him-
self, brought home the restored rug.
Under the light of the 'fire, it looked
more softly radiant than before, "like
friendship that has been tried," `said
Mrs. Lester.
Mr. Chesney, waiting' for the street
car to take him to his lodgings, looked
down the street at ,the house from
which he had' just come. The light
was streaming cheerily • from the
tower -room, beckoning ; him to;come
again.. "The `Friendship' Brand," lie
said softly to himself and was still
smiling when he boarded the car.'
Mr.' and Mrs. Lester sat together in
the tower -room. Mr. Lester dreamily
stirred the glowing embers.
"I'm glad, Agnes, that we have this
Friendship Room. It means a visible � ' lii!,!i,;�',
touch with others In a kindly way."
"I'm thinking, • dear, : of those whom
we shall corn to'know through this
room, who"will leave as friends, or to
become better .friends; I hope,'of
others. It's not the money that I've
been thinking of most,: George," Mrs.
Lester continued thoughtfully. "I
