WHY WOMEN
TELL SECRETS
The Reason Is "NO One
Wants Them
Kept" ="

- He reason that women do not
keep secrets IS because no one
wants them kept.
Women have realized this from
the beginning, and have never made
the slightest pretense-or AT most only
the pretense that was necessary 20 give
TO a piece OF news its piquancy as a
secret.
When one tells "A secret one does Ike

keep silent long enough. say two days.
10 give one a chance 10 enjoy TO the
utmost the pleasure Of telling ones own
secrets to ones own friends. For II is
naturally vexatious TO tell with great
imprCssiveness and much secrecy an
intimate thing concerning yourself only
10 discover t'Iat some one not half an
hour ago had got IN before you and
stolen the fun OF the first telling. But
after this il IS hardly complimentary to
feel that every one IS remaining silent
because you asked them TO-
II is not quite friendly. II raises the
awful doubt IN your mind that perhaps
they were not interested I'm what you
said and do not think it would divert
their friends. That is just why women
have decided TO blow 20 bits that absurd
fauacy that reserve is a virtue. They
know when an interesting thing happens
to them and they know that every one
would be so glad 10 hear II that they
almost have the right 70 be told IL.
The only trouble connected in any wny
with the matter is that there are some
people that really do not like to have
their secrets tOld-Queer creatures, like
men. for instance. and women have
from time immemOrial got into what
were most regrettable taugles because
they could never bring themselves to
the belief that these masculine souls
were the quaint exception they really
were and meant what they said about
absolute secrecy. From the best mo
tives in the world, kindly telling though
they had been asked not TO, they went
against instructions because they could
not get II out Of their heads that the
men wanted every one TO be talking
about their private affairs. but were TOO
shy, and not quite honest enough, 20
say so.
