A woman Can Keep n secret.

Miss Mary s. Anthony. sister of the
noted Susan Il. Anthony, says that Ii
Is not true that women tell secrets; at
least they only tell trivial things that
harm no one. They do not tell secrets
that would affect their husbands or
children-that Is. very few women do
and when such a thing does happen,
women are the first to condemn the
tattling woman. She related story
of a woman whose husband refused
to tell her about business transac-
ton, saying, sneeringly. that no woman
could keep "a secret John" said the
wife, "did / ever tell the secret about
the engagement ring you gave me
