Something to Talk About

great sacrifices that only women make 1t is
called Purple and Fine Linen" The author
is T. W. Hanshew, whom you know as 4 fine
stylist with great skill in the telling of a story
But you are bound to think more about the
tale itself than the manner of telling. Perhaps
you viii come to the conclusion that Kits un-
selfish devotion to her husband was more noble
than wise OF course. any moralist even the
two by twice kind, can virtuously point out
that the evil is in the lie because living is never
iustifable 1t sounds we'll. Maybe it is true.
But there isn't any doubt that the most beauti-
full and unseltish acts of self sacrifice nearly
always based on a lie, acted implied,
hypocrisy, which is next door to lying.
HAVING thus humbly opened the discussion,
YOU can carry it as far as you like. Next
week be sure and read Purple and Fine Linen"
You will find that it admirably illustrates
argument, and you can begin all over again. But
it isn't at all unlikely that the other contents of
our forthcoming SUNDAY MAGAZINE may prove
more interesting than simply TO give forth the
thoughts that are burning in your chest.
