Sometimes this Is done In a yelled and
vague manner with hints and inuen-
does, and sometimes the story is related
under pledge of silence to a third per-
son who is supposed not to be acQuaint-

on that account, may be trusted. How
ever it is done, the secret is out. It is

Physicians and lawyers are the Gus
todians of many family secrets, and
these are safe because the honor of
both professions is pledged and guarded
by VOWS and traditions that keep Sc
crets inviolate. Other good men and wo-
men supposed to, be wise in counsel are
approached by the worried and wearied
among their friends, and are asked for
advice and sympathy. Often they give
il, sometimes they find it difficult TO re-
strain themselves from gratifying the
curiosity Of inquisftive folk who are
sure they could speak if only they
would Few indeed are the unofficial
counsellors in this world who have the
strength and goodness to lock a secret
forever behind closed lips.
In certain families there are secrets
supposed to be buried under the accu-
mutations of long years. Twenty or
thirty years ago something happened
that made a stir at the time, bur the
memory of it has been swept away IN
the rapid course of the seasons, and It
is supposed that no one has the fa1ntesr
knowledge Of it now. Something hap
pens that revives the old name or the
old story.

FeWPeOpIe Can Keep q Secret
By MARGARET z. sANGsTER.

A secret is no longer secret if it has
passed your lips. Two persons may
perhaps safely share it, but if it be con-
finded to the ear of a third the probable
ity is that it viii before long be COM

ity few people can be trusted with Sc
crets, the desire to reveal them over
coming the determination to be silent.
OF course there are innocent secrets
and harmless mysteries that belong to
the joyous and peaceful conditions of
life, such as the happy secrets that
make our homes so delightful at hOli-
day times, or the forecasts of coming
events important in the annals of a
family. These may be and commonly
are preserved intact for a time, or if
they are told the telling does no harm.
