Nobody knows how much the small
boys and girls gather from the con-
versation of their elders until some
inauspicious moment when curiosity
or mischief serve to bring about an
explosion. 1t was one day last week
that two women were discussing a
third, forgetful of the wee girl play
ing in the corner with her doll.
} "And she cheats at cards." declared
one Of the gossipers. "She wins more
prizes than any one in the club, but
I'd rather never own a cut glass dish
| If nv chQafinr'
Il know, I've seen her." agreed the
other gossiper, ready to give the time
and place.
!; Time passed. as they say in the
lurd novels, and the next day the
mother and daughter had other call.
in the midst of unexciting comment
on the weather, the shrill voice Of the
small hostess sounded terribly loud
your mother cheats at cards." she
said, eagerly, to her special guest
do you know how she does it?''
4 And the moral of this is that if yol
J must SANDER your. friends, be care
nj full who hears you.
