lately some of the ladies commended that
fairy tales and made up stories told TO
children tended to make them untruth-
full. For that reason the ladies would
never have anything but strictly true
stories impaired to the infant mind. at
first blush ii looks to an unprejudiced
outsider as though the best way to pre-
vent children from becoming liars would
be for their mothers to tell them the
strict truth on every occasion, never de-
waiting by hairs breadth, not even
sending the little girl or boy 10 tell the
