The BEST POLICY.
Where Honesty Should Begin, and Where
1t Should Often End.
ANNIE |. WILLIS.

Where Honesty Should Begin, and Where
1t Should Often End.
Stealing is one matter; dishonesty is
quite another. To most of us there is
no temptation to take what doesn't be-
long to us. There is temptation, and
we don't often resist it. to be something
short of perfectly frank and true. One
reason for this is that the current pleas
ant speech which means nothing insen-
sibly enlarges into other pleasant
speeches which do mean something, but
don't mean the truth. No one expects
to be entirely believed who says Il am
glad to see you, /" or II regret to add"
Yet from these stock phrases it is smooth
sailing into what says more and means
still less.
Obviously one could not 60 about the
world dealing, like Mr.. Gradgrind, sole
ly in facts. Often facts are brutal "A
good and wise mother was once asked
by daughter with morbid conscience
and tender heart: what shall say
to guest who interrupts me and whom
l am not at all glad to see? Shall l
imply that | am?" The answer was
carefully considered. When it was
given it was this: TRY to put yourself
il her place, first of all. Then you may
find something very pleasant to say
without bringing your own personality
into the matter at all. If not, you can
usually take refuge in the weather and
exclaim that she is brave to face the
storm or wise to test the sunshine. If
your handclasp is hearty and your face
is smiling you have done your part.
And then work to make the welcome
for her that was not ready.
~ believe in always speaking the
truth, said another girl in moment
Of reflection, "but there is no need Of
speaking all the truth. = There is vol
ume Of sense in that ono sentence 81
lence may be false on occasions where
it is cowardly not to bear witness. Of
tener it may be the result of kindly
feeling of tender consideration for what
the speech would hurt Remember
that to hurt is to harm. This is as pal
pable as that falsehood even well meant
is wrong 1t is a difficult, tactful
question in ethics to decide between the
hurting and the falsifying. 1t has an
answer though. Women are more given
by their very softness of nature, to un-
truths than are men. Yet they oftener
glide out of a hard position without
the taint Of deceit. This, the world
says, is because tact is feminine be-
longing. Now tact answers the whole
problem And what is it? Its other
name is love. RUTH HALL.
