Lightly made and lightly discard- ed acquaintances ought never to be called friends...

The Great Mistake.
The mistake we all make is in expecting more than we give Loyalty and sincerity are India pensable in any friendship worth the name. Kindness also there must be if friendship is to endure; but gratitude and understanding- why should we expect these equali- ties which only fine souls are cap- able of feeling?
No one human being has all the gifta we should like an ideal friend to possess intelligence, humour, sensibility, and reverence for what is fine and beautiful. Some friends uplift us and bring out the beat; for others we have affection without the same respect.
It is the instinct of sociability that makes the higher, more sen- sitive types of women long for that friendship which cures the loneliness of life, and makes us un- derstand better, and co-operate with the law of altruism which is essential to human progress and evolution.
Normal women are gregarious, and those who suffer from poverty of friendship are not without the capacity for friendship. It is merely hidden in the deeper layers to the mind or soul. It can be brought to the surface,"
